A pilot project started between ASFINAG and Autostrade per l'Italia (ASPI) with the cooperation of Autostrada del Brennero and in line with the European Directive 2004/52. The project focuses on the experimentation of the first mutual technical interoperability service of dynamic ETC system used in the motorway networks in two different countries in Europe. The technical interoperability is based on the bimodal on-board-unit (called Go Pass - able to operate both with Telepass and GO system), which is produced by ASPI and supplied to ASFINAG. The pilot project will involve customers who have already subscribed a contract with both ASPI in Italy (Telepass system) and ASFINAG in Austria (GO system).
