Think outside the box

All of the components of the L-Box run Linux-based operating systems for reliability, while open interfaces are published and available for third-party use. All of the equipment employed is field proven, roadside-hardened and tested. By using roadside temperature-rated equipment (typically -40°C to 60°C), there is no need for expensive air-conditioned roadside cabinets.

Minimizing the number of components not only improves reliability and simplifi es software but also means that the L-Box can be mounted onto a far lighter framework, which might be simply a lane-side pole (although it can, of course, attach to a more substantial existing structure if available and convenient).

This compact system can be readily shipped and installed on-site both quickly and with little specific expertise – at least, far less than with a traditional lane-side system. Lending itself to a wide range of applications, L-Box offers advanced technology for use in deployments that have previously not been able to justify its use in terms of cost.

Multiple Applications
Typical applications include tolling or audits for VMT-based RUC schemes, dedicated lanes (detection and enforcement), electronic vehicle recognition (EVR) and roving EVR enforcement, and speed enforcement.

Although L-Box has been designed for use in any roadway charging, enforcement or monitoring scheme, it is particularly suitedto single or dual lanes where conventional, traditional, expensive road infrastructure is impractical. It can also be used as a standalone system yet can complement existing systems. The addition of L-Box to any road scheme offers improved traffic management, congestion handling, accurate road usage data collection and accurate vehicle detection and classification.
