Government Contracts

Subtitle:

Contract value for implementation reaches AUD 10 million (about EUR
8.5 million)

Wien (euro adhoc) - Vienna/Sydney, August 28, 2012 - Kapsch
TrafficCom AG (ISIN AT000KAPSCH9), listed on the Vienna Stock
Exchange in the prime market segment, informs that its subsidiary
Kapsch TrafficCom Australia Pty Ltd has been contracted by Interlink
Roads to supply a new open road tolling system to support capacity
enhancement upgrades to the M5 South West Motorway. The total
contract value for the implementation of the system reaches
approximately AUD 10 million (about EUR 8.5 million).

The NSW (New South Wales) Government and Interlink Roads jointly
recognised the need for capacity enhancements to the M5 South West
Motorway and developed a program to widen the existing M5 South West
Motorway to provide three lanes in each direction between Camden
Valley Way and King Georges Road. The existing tolling system will be
replaced by a new system that supports an open road configuration
that allows free flowing traffic across the three lanes in each
direction on the mainline motorway section and six additional tolling
points on the nearby on and off ramps to capture feeder traffic. The
existing system being replaced is a dual-lane constrained
configuration, where vehicles are constrained to their lane by
physical barriers.

The new tolling system will be contracted directly to Interlink
Roads, whereas the civil works will be separately contracted. A D&C
consortium consisting of Abigroup and SKM has developed the concept
design for the civil works.

"An efficient tolling system is so fundamental to a successful
tolling operation that we have contracted this work directly" stated
Rex Wright, CEO of Interlink Roads. "We are confident that we have
engaged the right supplier with a proven track record of delivering
accurate and reliable systems both in Australia and internationally".

"An existing operator of a successful motorway is well informed of
what is required to operate and of what the market has to offer."
says Georg Kapsch CEO of Kapsch TrafficCom Group. "We are delighted
to see that our long term investments, in the accuracy and
reliability of our systems in conjunction with our focus on forging
lasting relationships with our customers, are being recognized
through the award of this contract."

The new tolling system will comprise replacement roadside equipment
plus a new back-office system that will incorporates Kapsch's image
processing capability to provide higher levels of accuracy and
automation on image based transactions.

The new Tolling System is scheduled to be delivered in October 2013.
