Considerations for a Tolling System Concept
Kapsch TrafficCom | 10
Types of Tolling Schemes
Nation-wide tolling strategy requires architecture to accommodate various types of
tolling schemes
Highway
Tolling
Bridges &
Tunnels
City &
Congestion
Charging
„All“
Roads
A successful national charging scheme has to consider all these possibilities, so
that the whole puzzle works
Kapsch TrafficCom | 11
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
Kapsch TrafficCom | 12
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
Kapsch TrafficCom | 13
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
Kapsch TrafficCom | 14
Principal Considerations and their Effects on System Design
Environmental drivers
Encourage 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 drivers
Fairness 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 Management
A 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.
Kapsch TrafficCom | 15
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
Kapsch TrafficCom | 17
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
section „A“
7,9 km
vehicle enters
the network
• 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 „B“
4,3 km
vehicle total trip:
20,7 km
section „C“
8,5 km
vehicle exits
the network

Combined DSRC/GPS Solution
DSRC
• Low-cost onboard unit (easy installation)
• Little communications cost
• Very reliable and accurate
GPS light
• Offers DSRC system operators a
migration path into the GPS world
GPS/GSM
• Combines the benefits of both
technologies
• Flexible system (e.g. adding toll roads,
introducing toll zones)
• Little road side equipment needed
• Basis for add-on telematics applications

 Traffic flow analysis (corridor analysis)
Traffic
Management
Traffic
Enforcement
 Floating car data (traffic data) for traffic control purposes and for provisioning of
up-to-date traffic information
 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
