Gothenburg's Congestion Charging Project Successfully Implements New MLFF System
Gothenburg's urban traffic management is undergoing a significant upgrade. The city has initiated a national project management congestion charging project, successfully implementing the first phase of a new multi-lane free-flow (MLFF) system. This advanced technology covers the entire city centre and uses sophisticated vehicle identification methods.
Kapsch TrafficCom, a leading provider in tolling and traffic management solutions, is overseeing the replacement of 50 tolling stations and 91 charging points across Gothenburg. The installation work is primarily carried out during non-tollable hours to minimise disruptions for local drivers.
A key milestone was reached in April 2024 with the completion of crucial testing phases. As of August 2024, Kapsch TrafficCom is already responsible for 66% of all tolled passages and 57% of charging points. Once fully operational, the system is expected to handle around 150 million vehicles annually, significantly enhancing traffic flow and reducing congestion.
The project aims to modernise urban traffic management and reduce the environmental impact of congestion. It is proceeding according to plan and is slated for completion by the first quarter of 2025. Once complete, the updated infrastructure is expected to raise around €90m annually for local infrastructure projects.
Gothenburg's congestion charging project is well underway, with the first phase of the new multi-lane free-flow system successfully implemented. The project, led by Kapsch TrafficCom, is on track to be completed in the first quarter of 2025. Once fully operational, the system is expected to significantly improve traffic flow, reduce congestion, and generate substantial funds for local infrastructure projects.
