Installing the GO-Box

ASFINAG has introduced the state-of-the-art GO-Box system to ensure that the tolling process is as user-friendly, simple and efficient as possible for its customers. A brief overview explaining how the toll is levied for vehicles with a maximum permissible gross weight of over 3.5 tons and how correct payment of the toll is monitored and enforced is given below.

The GO-Box

All vehicles with a maximum permissible gross weight of over 3.5 tons (trucks, buses and large motorhomes), which are entering a primary road network, must be equipped with an on-board unit - called GO-Box. Whenever a vehicle passes through a toll gantry a microwave signal is transmitted enabling the GO-Box to charge the appropriate amount and thus ensuring correct handling of tolling. A brief description of how the GO-Box works and is operated is given below. For more detailed information please go to www.go-maut.at.

Advantages of the GO-Box

The GO-Box – the user-friendly tolling system:

• A user-friendly system that is installed by the driver and ensures fully-automated toll collection.
• A reliable tolling system based on state-of-the-art technology and using safe data transfer.
• A cost-efficient tolling system; i.e. the tolls collected are used for improving Austria’s road infrastructure.

How does the GO-Box work?

The GO-Box, which must be installed in every vehicle with a maximum permissible gross weight of over of 3.5 tons features a user-friendly and relatively simple design, which makes it easy to both handle and operate. The GO-Box is operated and proper functioning monitored using a push button, LED and sound signals.
