Norwegian Public Roads Administration VIKING PMB Lillehammer 9-10 February 2004 Host project presentation: Two recent milestones for Norwegian EFC, National Interoperability and fully automated Toll Stations

Norwegian Public Roads Administration The AutoPASS Contract NPRA An implementation of CESARE II

Norwegian Public Roads Administration History of ETC in Norway 1987 The first EFC in operation in the World at Ålesund, Norway 1990 The first EFC City Toll Ring in Oslo 1991 The first unmanned Toll Ring in Trondheim 1997 The AutoPASS project was launched 2000 The AutoPASS implementation started 2003 Approximately 1 million OBU’s issued Start of full National Interoperability for EFC Start of fully automated, free flow toll plazas

Norwegian Public Roads Administration Basic Concept - 1 Central subscriber account Free flow, no barriers Video enforcement Pre-payment gives discount Manual payment service always available (until 2004) Coin machines in high volume plazas Two classes (><3,5 tons allowed total weight)

Norwegian Public Roads Administration 42 Tolling Projects in operation 22 have ETC systems 260 lanes equipped Close to 1 mill. tags issued Annual number of transactions: >200 million Annual revenue: near 300 million EURO ETC Status today (Nov. 2003)

Norwegian Public Roads Administration The long term Vision All payment systems for transport services shall be co-ordinated. The users will perceive one common system to pay fees and fares

Norwegian Public Roads Administration Public Transport Ferries Toll Roads Happy Users One Contract – One OBU (IC-card) – One bill AutoPASS Contract Issuer Parking - Contract - OBU/IC-card - Invoice (claim) More.. The user in Focus

Norwegian Public Roads Administration Primary Goal reached No-stop Payment in all Norwegian EFC toll projects via one (and one only) issuer contract. The solution include: contract issuing contract management, invoicing clearing between operators/issuers exception handling customer relations

Norwegian Public Roads Administration Main Considerations The AutoPASS Contract adhere to the results from CESARE I and II projects The primary transport service is use of road infrastructure (e.g. toll roads) and the secondary service is ferry transport The AutoPASS Contract shall be flexible enough to include future actors

Norwegian Public Roads Administration User information in general. All media was timed for maximum effect OBU mounting instructions Charging point information (at toll plazas) EFC lane sign based on MÅNS User Information

Norwegian Public Roads Administration Operation and management of AutoPASS Contract Contractual framework Technical platform Descriptions of main functions from CESARE II The three crucial interfaces Overview of Security Available in English (pdf) System description AutoPASS Contract Issuer AutoPASS EFC Operator User

Norwegian Public Roads Administration 1.Between all operators: The Co-operation Contract 2.All AutoPASS Issuers: The Adherence Contract 3.For all users:(User – Issuer) The AutoPASS Contract Contractual framework

Norwegian Public Roads Administration Requirements for the collections and forwarding system Requirements for the Central systems Requirements for the crucial interfaces Basic Requirements AutoPASS Contract Issuer AutoPASS EFC Operator AutoPASS Contract Issuer AutoPASS Collection and forwarding central

Norwegian Public Roads Administration The pilot was defined and run by the AutoPASS Contract project All EFC systems in main corridors in the Oslo area The pilot included about 6000 users The new Collection and Forwarding Central (CFC) distributed data from October CFC is an outsourced service ETC Pilot (Test Project)

Norwegian Public Roads Administration Implementation No additional contract for interoperability Passive acceptance: By use of AutoPASS lanes Payment will be deducted from pre-payment or invoiced No discounts outside home system Additional contracts possible (to have discount) Data transfer managed by Collection-Forwarding Central Full status list inn all RSUs

Norwegian Public Roads Administration AutoPASS EFC will be tested in ferry connections in 2004 Full implementation in ferries is expected in 2005 Smart-card will contain AutoPASS OBU information Ferry pilot

Norwegian Public Roads Administration Fully Automated Free Flow Tolling Milestone number two: Implemented 2 February 2004 in Bergen and Tønsberg

Norwegian Public Roads Administration Fully Automated Free Flow Tolling Full implementation in two city rings introducing EFC from 2 February 2004 A totally new concept based on OCR Video and AutoPASS No extra lanes – gantries only Cost-effective and environment friendly A design for the future

Norwegian Public Roads Administration Fully Automated Free Flow Tolling No manual payment at toll stations Petrol stations act as agents Three alternative payment means: Normal AutoPASS subscriber Anonymous pre-payed AutoPASS tag Post-payment from licence plate reading (OCR)

Norwegian Public Roads Administration Fully Automated Free Flow Tolling saves investment costs saves operation costs encourages EFC subscription two full scale pilots: The ”old” toll ring in Bergen The new toll ring in Tønsberg
