Considerations for a Tolling System Concept


Types of Tolling Schemes

Nation-wide tolling strategy requires architecture to accommodate various types of tolling schemes

A successful national charging scheme has to consider all these possibilities, so that the whole puzzle works

City &Congestion

Bridges &Tunnels

„All“Roads

HighwayTolling


System Concept

Kapsch System Concept shows how a future national road pricing system could be implemented for all roads and all vehicles:

• DSRC for motorways and other main roads

• GPS/GPRS for rural roads

• DSRC/Video charging for urban areas or specific charging zones

GPS/DSRC on-board unit

3 system parts fully compatible: enable the system planners to choose the best technology for each specific use case


Golden Rules

Simple and understandable rules – users must be able to understand and support the ideas of the charging concept

• Practicable system concept based on one common system architecture

• “Working technology”

• Enable cost-effective system operation

• Provide secure system operation


Principal Considerations and their Effects on System Design

National tolling strategy is a very complex task - depends on various factors:

Political drivers Fairness – the user pays for individual use of infrastructure

Applicable to HGV and/or passenger cars

Enabling of mobility by reducing traffic

Enabling of mobility by shifting traffic (in time and space)

Concentrate HGV traffic on highways

Shift transport/mobility to other modes of transport

Economic drivers Financing of investment & operation

“pay per mile” - according to real cost factors

Additional income


Principal Considerations and their Effects on System Design

Environmental driversEncourage fleet renewal by lower tariffs for “cleaner” vehicles

The definition of “clean” may tighten over time according to a published plan

Price/mile or in a region may vary according to (local) pollution situation

Social driversFairness and non-discrimination – all users must be treated equally

Quality of life should not degrade due to increased mobility

The system concept must be understood and accepted by the users

Support modal shift to public transport

Data protection according to legislation, but additional information available to support safety and security

Safety, Traffic Information and ManagementA great deal of additional telematics applications can be developed from a Tolling System and provide additional benefits for the End User as well as for Road Operators

In designing the tolling strategy, priorities have to be ordered according to the aspects mentioned above. Depending on the regions affected, the requirements for the toll operator/ authority and the user needs will vary.


Key cost drivers

Many factors influence the costs of a road user charging system:

• Type of vehicle

• Type of user

• Number of users

• Type of roads

• Charging Scheme

• Road network size

• Communications between OBU and Central System

• Technology

All these aspects should be taken into account when defining a road user charging system, without ignoring the operational costs (communications; back office operations)


Nationwide DSRC Tolling System


Characteristics

Whole motorway network is subject to the toll scheme

Open system architecture & Multi Lane Free Flow

Compulsory use of OBUs (On Board Units)

Easy access to OBUs (Point of Sale)

Different types of contacts pre pay or post pay

Non-discriminatory access for any users

Vehicle categories based on axels, emission class, ….

Toll tariff is based on day, Time, categorie, tolling segement


System Architecture

Free-flow Architecture• access to highway network,

area/city or road/tunnel/bridge open free-flow!

• one charge point (l) covers a certain section or an entry point for an area/city or a road/city/tunnel

• no barriers on exit and entry ramps!

section „A“7,9 km

section „B“4,3 km section „C“

8,5 km

vehicle entersthe network

vehicle exitsthe network

vehicle total trip:20,7 km

DSRC Onboard Unit (OBU)


Combined GPS-/DSRC Tolling


Combined DSRC/GPS Solution

DSRC

• Low-cost onboard unit (easy installation)

• Little communications cost

• Very reliable and accurate

GPS/GSM

• Flexible system (e.g. adding toll roads, introducing toll zones)

• Little road side equipment needed

• Basis for add-on telematics applications

GPS light

• Offers DSRC system operators a migration path into the GPS world

• Combines the benefits of both technologies

Possible Telematics Applications

Applications

Traffic Planning Traffic statistics (traffic volume)

Traffic flow analysis (corridor analysis)

Traffic

Management

Floating car data (traffic data) for traffic control purposes and for provisioning of up-to-date traffic information

Traffic Enforcement

Monitoring/search of/for vehicles (e.g. HazMat transports, stolen vehicles)

Speed control

Anti-theft system (geo fencing of vehicles)

Traffic Safety eCall/bCall (emergency call / breakdown call)

Parking GPS-based street parking

Logistics Fleet tracking & tracing

Industries Solutions

Pay-per-use insurance

Electronic log book (tax purposes)


Conclusion

• The challenge is the right preparation of such a project

• Start with “What to achieve?” and not “How to do it?”

• A good legal basis is already more than half of the success

• Do not underestimate the importance of PR and information to customers

• Set realistic time schedules to build, test and to go live with a scheme

• Rely on proven technology – Tolling Business is not a ‘Beauty Contest’

• Do not forget about the Operational Cost in such long-term projects

• Rely on suppliers with substantial experience in the Tolling Business
