Traffic TechnologyVITRONIC & SkyToll bring next-generation truck toll enforcement to the Netherlands
Wiesbaden/Zoetermeer
VITRONIC, a global leader in machine vision technology, today announced the successful go-live of the Netherlands' new truck toll enforcement system. Commissioned by the Dutch Vehicle Authority (RDW), the solution marks a major milestone in the implementation of one of Europe's most advanced digital toll enforcement infrastructures.
As the prime contractor, VITRONIC is responsible for delivering the enforcement control systems and key elements of the data processing solution that verify compliance with the Dutch truck toll scheme. The contract also includes comprehensive maintenance and operational services over the next ten years.
The truck toll system ensures that heavy goods vehicles correctly use On-Board Units (OBUs), which automatically record the kilometers driven on designated toll roads. By combining state-of-the-art machine vision technologies with intelligent data processing, the solution enables reliable and highly automated toll enforcement.
The deployed technology includes:
- Automatic license plate recognition (ANPR) cameras
- DSRC antennas for reading OBU data
- AI-powered image recognition software for truck identification and vehicle classification
The system comprises stationary TollChecker 5 enforcement systems installed on gantries across the Netherlands, alongside movable enforcement systems, enabling flexible roadside enforcement at approximately 100 predefined locations.
The enforcement systems are based on VITRONIC's latest-generation TollChecker 5 platform, complemented by the Smart Traffic Sensor SSP X1, delivering highly accurate vehicle detection, identification, and toll compliance verification.
Together with RDW and our trusted partners, we have created a scalable solution that combines reliable enforcement with long-term operational excellence.
The project is delivered through the combined expertise of ITIS Holding companies VITRONIC and SkyToll. As prime contractor, VITRONIC is responsible for the overall delivery of the enforcement solution, including the roadside enforcement systems and key cloud-based components of the back-office platform.
SkyToll, acting as a subcontractor to VITRONIC, contributes its extensive tolling expertise by developing key back-office components, establishing and operating the required data center and communications infrastructure, and providing implementation and operational services. Following go-live, SkyToll will also operate the movable enforcement systems.
VITRONIC additionally developed cloud-based components of the back-office solution, ensuring seamless integration between roadside infrastructure and centralized processing.
Installation and on-site preparation activities were carried out in partnership with the Dutch infrastructure specialist Vialis, supporting the efficient rollout across the national road network.
The project reinforces VITRONIC's position as a trusted technology partner for governments and road authorities worldwide, delivering intelligent enforcement solutions that support modern tolling strategies while contributing to efficient, transparent, and sustainable road transport.
