There are few road user charging on-board equipment manufacturers that have successfully deployed large numbers of devices in mainstream production schemes, but there are many potential new entrants to his sector given the increasing interest in road user charging.

Building Capital is not an equipment manufacturer, but a specialist technical services provider that can assist existing and potential on-board equipment manufacturers characterise highly successful road charging devices.

Product Characterisation – identifying the optimum components in respect of core technology (GPS and/or DSRC), supplementary sensors and processing algorithms to meet the project requirements as cost effectively as possible.

Specialist Environment Appraisal – identifying and providing solution to the complex environmental challenges presented by temperature extremes, signal attenuation through windscreen glass and bodyshell, induced EMF and vibration, and ergonomics.

Field and Compliance Testing – benchmarking the performance of on-board equipment in a multitude of different operating environments using our advanced inertial navigation test equipment and back-end processing systems.

Local Trials Management – providing the field engineering and back-end systems service capability to ensure a product validation, pre-selection or down-selection trial is successful. As specialists in this field, we can minimise the operating expense of such activities.

Prototyping – rapidly developing prototype on-board units to validate concepts and partake in pre-selection and down-selection trials as are often required during major infrastructure bids.
