Red Fox ID and Cepton Enable Barrier-Free, High-Speed Tolling Worldwide with High Performance Lidar Based Solutions
A state-of-the art electronic tolling system that utilizes high performance lidar sensors from Cepton and a cutting-edge vehicle identification solution from Red Fox ID, is expected to be deployed on a major highway turnpike crossing multiple states in the United States, thereby promising fast, highly accurate, barrier-free, real-time tolling to enable smooth traffic flows. This marks the maturing of the deep partnership between Cepton and Red Fox ID in bringing innovative, automated tolling solutions to major customers across North America, EMEA and Asia.

Cepton has partnered with the Austrian Industry and Testing Alliance (ALP.Lab) to build Lidar-equipped testing environments for studying complicated driving situations on Austria s roads.
ALP.Lab – an alliance of automotive suppliers such as Magna and AVL – delivers real-life data to test the capabilities of autonomous driving systems, and helps enable solutions to reduce accidents and improve traffic flows.
Cepton says this project will deliver real-world traffic data from complex urban and rural alpine intersections.
Austria s mountainous landscape presents challenges in ensuring vehicle and pedestrian safety, where difficult traffic scenarios could pose obstacles for the deployment of autonomous mobility solutions.
Cepton Technologies, a provider of intelligent, lidar-based solutions, has announced an innovative miniature lidar sensor – the Nova - for high volume automotive applications.
