TraffiCure vs Kapsch TrafficCom

Kapsch's ITS infrastructure vs. software-only traffic intelligence

Headline
0
New hardware required

Kapsch TrafficCom designs and delivers end-to-end ITS infrastructure — cameras, roadside units, tolling, enforcement, and control-room software. TraffiCure is a software-only product that gives cities whole-network traffic intelligence without any new hardware. The two can co-exist: Kapsch for enforcement and tolling, TraffiCure for planning and operations.

What Kapsch TrafficCom does

Kapsch builds and integrates ITS hardware: cameras at junctions, ANPR for tolling, variable message signs, loop detectors, and the software to run them. Deployments are large CAPEX projects, typically 12–36 months, on a specific corridor or city tender.

Side-by-side comparison

Where each one wins

TraffiCure strengths

  • Zero civil work, zero hardware procurement, zero maintenance
  • Whole-network coverage from day one, not just instrumented junctions
  • Deploys in weeks, not years
  • Stack-compatible: can run alongside existing Kapsch installations

Kapsch TrafficCom strengths

  • The industry standard for ANPR, red-light, and speed enforcement
  • Tolling and motorway systems with global case studies
  • Integrated ITS control-room products with long operator history

Who should pick what

Pick TraffiCure if

Cities that want network-wide traffic visibility and planning intelligence without a new hardware tender.

Pick Kapsch TrafficCom if

Cities and highway authorities procuring enforcement, ANPR, or tolling infrastructure.

Frequently asked

Can TraffiCure replace a Kapsch ITMS deployment?

For network visibility, planning, and operations — yes. For enforcement (ANPR, red-light, speed) — no. These are different problems that typically need different tools. Many cities run both.

Is TraffiCure cheaper than Kapsch?

Fundamentally different cost shapes. Kapsch is a large CAPEX + long-term maintenance contract. TraffiCure is a per-km-monitored OPEX subscription. For planning and operations use cases, TraffiCure is an order of magnitude cheaper.

Why not both?

Many cities end up running both. Kapsch for enforcement and tolling where hardware is required by law; TraffiCure for the 97%+ of roads that will never get a camera.
