The Czech Ministry of Transport (CZ MoT) today announced that it has 
signed an amendment agreement to the contract for the supply and for 
the operation of the microwave technology based tolling system in the
Czech Republic with the consortium led by Kapsch TrafficCom (Kapsch 
consortium). The amendment agreement formalizes the content of the 
second phase of construction of the electronic truck tolling system 
in the Czech Republic. The CZ MoT has now charged the Kapsch 
consortium with an extension of the system to include another 
approximately 1,000 km of future motorways, the construction or 
extension of which is scheduled to begin by the end of 2017.
"As the CZ MoT´s original conception for a tolling of 1st class roads
with a microwave technology based tolling system was considered not 
to be sufficiently effective, we had to find a way with the Kapsch 
consortium how to change the parameters of the agreement concluded in
2006 for the delivery and operation services related to the system 
while also taking into account the original invitation to tender" 
explains deputy Minister of Transport, Jirí Hodac.
As of January 1, 2008, the Kapsch consortium will extend the existing
truck tolling system by 37 toll gantries to cover about 180 km of 
selected 1st class roads mainly used by international transit 
traffic.
The distance-related tolls are to be extended to cover all vehicles 
of 3.5 tonnes or more by January 1, 2009, according to the CZ MoT´s 
most current plans. Kapsch TrafficCom Construction & Realisation, 
supplier of the tolling system in the Czech Republic, will make the 
necessary adaptations to the existing system and ensure supply of 
another 350,000 on-board units (OBUs). The third amendment agreement 
does not include a change to the overall value of the original 
contract of CZK 18.5 billion (net of VAT) for the supply and for the 
10 years of operation of the system. The amendment agreement - except
for certain parts directly relating to proprietary know-how of the 
Kapsch consortium - is published on the Ministry of Transport´s 
website, www.mdcr.cz.
For the extended use of the tolling system, the CZ MoT as well as the
Road and Motorway Directorate of the Czech Republic (Reditelství 
silnic a dálnic, RSD), the administrator of the electronic truck 
tolling system in the Czech Republic, has now charged the Kapsch 
consortium with the implementation of the interface for a future 
satellite-based toll collection system on 1st class, 2nd class and 
3rd class roads as well as with the supply of an interface for 
telematic applications and the implementation of a traffic regulation
system for the D1 motorway route. The project aims at improving road 
safety and optimizing traffic flow. RSD has also officially extended 
its service agreement with Kapsch Telematic Services of the Czech 
Republic from 5 to 10 years, as envisaged in the original invitation 
to tender.
Adaptations and additions to the tolling system are expected to cost 
about CZK 3 billion, in which Czech sub-contractors will participate 
to a high degree.

traffic telematics systems, products and services. Its principle
