Kapsch AVC
Automatic Vehicle Classification

Kapsch AVC is a key element for assessment of the correct toll fee at toll plazas and ensures
accurate vehicle detection and classification, offering outstanding performance. Kapsch AVC
is based on infrared sensor technology for low maintenance classification.
Kapsch AVC is flexible in design and

As part of its enforcement capability,

AVC can provide vehicle tracking
information for the toll lane controller.
Via a dedicated ethernet interface, Kapsch
AVC can report vehicle transactions
directly to the central systems, authorities
and toll plaza supervisors. This enables
monitoring and controlling of correct toll
payments to multiple points on different
hierarchies.
