Considerations for a Tolling System Concept Kapsch TrafficCom

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 Charging Bridges & Tunnels „All“ Roads Highway Tolling Kapsch TrafficCom

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

Practicable system concept based on one common system architecture 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

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

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

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) Kapsch TrafficCom

Nationwide DSRC Tolling System Kapsch TrafficCom

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 Kapsch TrafficCom

Free-flow Architecture 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 vehicle enters the network section „B“ 4,3 km section „C“ 8,5 km vehicle exits the network vehicle total trip: 20,7 km Kapsch TrafficCom

Basic Components of a Multi Lane Free Flow Tolling System Tolling station Enforcement station portable Enforcement equipment Mobile enforcement vehicle OBU mobile reader Homebase Central system (Tolling, Enforcement, adminstration, Customer Attention) Onboard Unit (OBU) Point of Sale Kapsch TrafficCom

DSRC Onboard Unit (OBU) Kapsch TrafficCom

Combined GPS-/DSRC Tolling Kapsch TrafficCom

Combined DSRC/GPS Solution 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 Combines the benefits of both technologies GPS/GSM Flexible system (e.g. adding toll roads, introducing toll zones) Little road side equipment needed Basis for add-on telematics applications Kapsch TrafficCom

The GPS light System Approach (Thin Client) Map Matching Onboard Unit with existing GPS, GSM, DSRC Module GPRS GPS Location Points GPS/GSM Central System Transaction Concentrator DSRC WAN DSRC Transactions Kapsch TrafficCom

GPS light System Targets Low-cost Onboard Unit Combined OBU; Intelligence is located in the central system 1 Easy installation of the OBU, simple MMI Easy-to-install / Easy-to-use 2 Map and tariff changes without OBU software downloads High Flexibility 3 Optimized map matching, DSRC-supporting points High Accuracy 4 Optimized map matching, powerful central system High Performance 5 Where possible usage of DSRC, optimized GSM data transfer Optimized Communications Costs 6 Main routes: DSRC+Video+Laser, Side routes: DSRC+Smart Video High Enforcement Rate 7 Encryption of all transferred data High Data Security 8 Telematics platform with out-of-the-box applications Additional Telematics Applications 9 Kapsch TrafficCom

Possible Telematics 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) Kapsch TrafficCom

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 Kapsch TrafficCom
