Video tolling

The first video tolling system in North America was the Highway 407 in the Greater Toronto Area.

[5] In Austria works system called ASFINAG (Autobahnen-und-Schnellstraßen-Finanzierungs-Aktiengesellschaft), the Austrian financing provider for and operator of motorways (Autobahnen) and expressways (Schnellstraßen) uses a video tolling system called Videomaut (Video Toll).

When approaching a toll plaza, the user must enter the lane marked Videomaut and travel no faster than 15 km/h.

The car's number plate is read and identified automatically, and the vehicle is allowed to pass.

If the number plate cannot be read, or no valid Videomaut ticket is associated with the number plate, the user is directed into a regular toll lane and must show a copy of the receipt for the Videomaut ticket as proof of purchase to the toll cashier.

Videomaut is available only to cars without a trailer which do not exceed a width of 2.3 metres and a total weight of 3.5 metric tonnes.
