It is a $AUD 2 billion Transurban (privately-funded) tollroad project which will connect three of the city's major freeways. The project is in two parts: the Western Link and the Southern Link. ------------------------------------------------ Western Link • Substantial upgrade to the Tullamarine Freeway (to eight lanes) between Bulla Road and Flemington Road. • Six-lane elevated road through West Melbourne. • Bridge over the Yarra River to the West Gate Freeway. ----------------------------------------------- Southern Link • Two three-lane tunnels beneath the Yarra (3.4 and 1.6 kms long). • Upgrade to the existing freeway (to five and six lanes) between the city and the city end of the Monash Freeway. ---------------------------------------------- At the forefront of Transurban's highway revolution is its tolling system. CityLink is the world's largest application of electronic tolling technology in an urban road setting, making the project one of the first to commit fully to the concept of cashless tolling. Because all CityLink tolls are collected by this sophisticated scanning system, there is no need for drivers to slow down or stop. It is possible to pay tolls at freeway speeds via the transponder mounted inside the windscreen. The result is fast, safe and stress-free travel. The benefits of Multi Lane electronic tolling include no toll booths or boom gates, and no need for cash or tokens. ---------------------------------------------- The system has the capacity to collect fees and check a large number of vehicles simultaneously, which ensures that the tollstation will never cause stop-and-go situations or queues. It is not a problem, however, to debit also queuing vehicles. ---------------------------------------------- System Description ---------------------------------------------- Queensland Motorways (Brisbane) Interlink Roads M4 & M5 Motorways (Sydney) Combitech Traffic Systems has the contracts for supply of equipment to ETC systems for Brisbane and Sydney. --------------------------------------------- The systems will be used by Queensland Motorways and the Interlink Roads, M4+M5 Motorway. Integrator in both cases is Transcore Australia. Some of the transponders ordered by M4 & M5 will be distributed on the Eastern Distributor (Sydney). ---------------------------------------------- These orders further strengthen the already strong position of Combitech Traffic Systems in Australia, which started with the successful installation of the ETC system for the Melbourne CityLink.

To assist with this a transaction has been suggested by the EU-sponsored A1 project. In this project the leading organisations and suppliers in the field of electronic road tolling have co-operated closely to specify this standard transaction ------------------------------------- http://www.trafficsystems.com/comweb/inter_o/pdf/ER9_13.pdf ---------------------------------------------- The GSS Specification This is an industrial initiative on how to use the CEN standard in order to prepare for true interoperability. The specification suggests a set of parameters, within the CEN standard, to be used when designing the electronic toll system. Operators choosing to take advantage of the GSS specification have taken the first necessary step to interoperation both regarding multi-operator environment and multi-vendor supply of tolling equipment. ------------------------------------- http://www.trafficsystems.com/comweb/inter_o/pdf/GSS_30.pdf ---------------------------------------------- The CEN Standard The CEN standard is the enabling basis on which interoperable tolling systems can be designed. The standard was approved in a ballot amongst the members of CEN in 1997, and was confirmed as an ENV in 1999. CEN is today widely spread and is the preferred standard globally except for North America and Japan. ------------------------------------- Applicable standards 1. ENV 12253:1997 Dedicated Short-Range Communication - Physical layer using microwave at 5.8 GHz. 2. ENV 12795:1997 Dedicated Short-Range Communication (DSRC) - DSRC Data link layer: Medium Access and Logical Link Control. 3. ENV 12834:1997 Dedicated Short-Range Communication - Application layer. 4. ENV 13372:1999 Road Transport and Traffic Tele- matics (RTTT) - Dedicated Short-Range Communication (DSRC) - DSRC profiles for RTTT applications. 5. ENV ISO 14904:1997 Electronic Fee Collection (EFC) - Interface specification for clearing between operators. 6. ENV ISO 14906:1998 Electronic Fee Collection - Application interface definition for Dedicated Short-Range Communication. 7.
