Q-Free entered the Swedish market in 2005, supplying road side system, On Board Units (OBU) and operational service to the Stockholm Congestion Tax Charging System. The system went live 3rd of January 2006 being a great success for all involved parties.
The city of Stockholm is growing with more than 20.000 inhabitants every year, putting a big pressure on the city's road infrastructure. Considering the fact that most of Stockholm is surrounded by water, the congestion problems are not easy to solve by escalating the road infrastructure. The city needed other means to fight the growing congestion problem. Therefore the city council decided to deploy a congestion tax charging scheme based on the use of electronic toll collection
The results were:
o Traffic reduced with 15-20%
o Travel time reduced with 50%
o Air pollution significantly reduced
Q-Free designed, installed and commissioned the roadside system and OBUs;
o 750.000 OBUs
o 23 Physical locations
o 80 Multilane Free Flow lanes
o Project professional services
o Operations services
