Nashville – October 27, 2026 -- TransCore has won a contract from Transport for New South Wales (TfNSW) to supply the tolling system for Sydney's Western Harbour Tunnel. It is the company's first tolling deployment in Australia and the country's first tagless, video-only tolling system.
TransCore will deploy its Infinity Digital Lane System with video analytics
The multi-lane free-flow system uses video analytics with overhead detection to detect, identify and classify vehicles at highway speeds. It needs no in-pavement sensors, which TransCore says simplifies maintenance and cuts costs. New machine learning capabilities automate vehicle classification and image processing, reducing manual intervention and operating costs while improving accuracy.
TransCore will also integrate Infinity with TfNSW's existing back-office systems. Without roadside tags or transponders, the solution is meant to reduce customer friction and simplify account management.
NSW officials cite lower tag infrastructure costs and likely adoption on other toll roads
NSW Minister for Transport John Graham said the technology will reduce the cost of tag infrastructure and is likely to be adopted on other toll roads. NSW Motorways Interim Chief Executive Camilla Drover said TfNSW held extensive industry engagement last year and described the technology as proven in Europe and North America. TransCore said the award followed a highly competitive procurement process.
Installation is due in 2027, with tolling starting in 2028
TransCore is expected to complete equipment installation in 2027, with tolling operations starting in 2028. The Western Harbour Tunnel is a 6.5-kilometre motorway under construction. It will connect the Rozelle Interchange to the Warringah Freeway near North Sydney and cross under Sydney Harbour between Birchgrove and Waverton. The tunnel is expected to improve journey times and ease congestion on the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
TransCore CEO Whitt Hall said the award reflects the company's proven technology and global delivery capability. TransCore's systems currently process billions of transactions annually for transportation agencies in the U.S. and Middle East. The company is a subsidiary of ST Engineering.
