the traffic according to different requirements and demands - with 65
toll lanes and 33 toll zones. The total contract value for the
implementation of the system reaches approximately USD 79 million
(about EUR 64 million). The first phase of the system shall start
operation in August 2013.

Kapsch TrafficCom IVHS, has assembled a team of highly-qualified,
experienced Civil, ITS and network infrastructure providers which
includes a number of local Texas-based companies and organizations.
This team complements the electronic tolling capabilities as well as
for the first time in North America also the overall system and
project management as it has been successfully provided by Kapsch for
many years as part of its end-to-end solutions around the globe. The
project will be managed out of the local project management office of
Kapsch in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

According to Chris Murray, President of Kapsch TrafficCom IVHS,
"We're delighted to have been selected as a supplier of a total
system for the first time in the USA. This project will be one of
North America's newest and premier transportation systems. Hence,
Kapsch has established its position in the supply of systems and has
achieved another milestone towards becoming an end-to-end solutions
provider in the North American market."

for Kapsch in North America and confirms the adopted strategic path
to deliver superior end-to-end solutions in the highly competitive
North American market", says Georg Kapsch, Chief Executive Officer of

About the North Tarrant Express

The North Tarrant Express is a USD 2.5 billion project dedicated to
improving mobility along 13.5 miles of the IH820 and SH 121/183
(Airport Freeway) corridor in Northeast Tarrant County. The project,
scheduled to open in 2015, will completely reconstruct and upgrade
the existing highway and nearly double the road capacity along the
corridor in order to relieve congestion, improve safety and
accommodate anticipated future population growth. To find out more

About the LBJ Express

Described by state transportation leaders as the most comprehensive
and complex project of its type in the country, the LBJExpress
project will feature dramatic improvements to approximately 17 miles
of I-35E and I-635 in Dallas County. The project limits, which go
from Luna Road to Greenville Ave along I-635 and Loop 12 to Valwood
Parkway along I-35 are part of a new choice-based highway network.
This innovative project will feature a multi-level highway system,
including several miles of depressed lanes, allowing drivers the
choice of continuing on the same number of free, general purpose
lanes available today, or bypassing congestion on new high speed
managed toll lanes. When complete in 2016, the LBJ Express will
reduce travel delays, provide mobility choices, improve safety, and
help reduce the carbon footprint associated with idling traffic. To
