The winning project in this category is the Dublin Tunnel Tolling System Replacement Project. Engineers Arup delivered a highly innovative upgrade to the tunnel’s end-of-life tolling infrastructure while maintaining uninterrupted operation of this critical national transport link. The project introduced a hybrid tolling system combining conventional barrier tolling with slow-moving free-flow technology, one of only a small number of such systems deployed globally. 

Key innovative features include the integration of advanced technologies such as Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC), LiDAR
