Q-Free ASA which is headquartered in Trondheim, Norway, develops, manufactures and sells complete solutions for road infrastructure management.
The company’s portfolio include systems for tolling/Road User Charging (RUC). These extend from traditional, cash-based fee collection solutions all the way to modern, multi-lane free-flow Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) systems with applications ranging from revenue collection/infrastructure upkeep to demand management. Examples include RUC on strategic roads for trucks or all types of vehicles, congestion charging/access management to urban areas, and distance/emissions-based charging with variable tariffs which are applicable in real time.
Q-Free has a significant presence in the Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) and parking management sector, offering traffic management solutions for urban as well as inter-urban and strategic routes.
The company also offers a comprehensive range of data-gathering systems which monitor infrastructure use and therefore performance and wear, as well as environmental issues such as air quality. The information from these systems can be used both in real time and empirically to give an overall impression of the overall integrity of roads and other infrastructure such as bridges and tunnels, and to provide info-mobility services to both road operators and road users.
Expertise in connected vehicle technology, which will allow coming generations of vehicles to communicate with each other and with surrounding infrastructure to increase network safety, capacity and environmental performance, has been a part of the company’s core offer for several years.
All of these solutions can be provided separately or as parts of complete solutions with common interfaces from a single supplier. Q-Free also offers managed services, allowing clients to divest operations to a trusted technology partner.
The company is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange with the ticker QFR.
