RSSFrench company CS Communication & Systèmes has announced it has delivered the Poland A1 Phase 2 tolling and ITS project two months ahead of schedule. Earlier this year, 5533 Intertoll, the prime contractor of the project, asked CS to accelerate the project that was initially expected to be completed on 21 December, 2011. The scope of this project included the design, supply, installation and maintenance of six toll plazas, 16 automated entry lanes and 23 manual exit lanes. CS also designed and installed a full ITS system with SCADA system, optical fibre and IP network along the road, traffic counting stations and an emergency call network comprising 70 Emergency call boxes and an operation centre.

“Intertoll appreciates the efforts of CS in being able to complete the installation of the toll and motorway equipment two months ahead of the original schedule. The early completion required close cooperation by all the contractors on site and CS was able to supply their “A Team” of experienced management and supervisors to achieve this.” says Georges Jamieson, Intertoll operation director Europe.

This good news from Poland comes following the earlier news that operation has begun on Poland’s A2 motorway for which CS designed, supplied, installed, and will maintain a full upgrade of existing toll plazas comprising 57 lanes on a total of eight plazas for the leading French integrator, Alcatel-Lucent. In addition, CS was committed to supply an emergency communication system comprised of an emergency call centre and 52 emergency call boxes along the 104 kms of the A2 motorway. CS also supplied all the motorway management equipment with CCTV.

“These two project completions enhance CS’s position in the central Europe market. It shows one more time CS’s capabilities in delivering on time, best in class systems for major prime contractors like Intertoll and Alcatel Lucent. For over four decades, CS has established itself as a premier partner for toll and ITS projects all around the world and will continue this winning dynamic.” says Arnaud Quemard, CS ITS business unit managing director.
