1. On the move: Getting EETS off the ground
NORVEGKONFERANSEN 2016

2. EETS is more than Interoperability

3. SP's OBU: key element of technical IOP
Instead of harmonizing Toll Charger Systems, Service Provider's OBU provides technical Interoperability by integrating the 3 different technologies
3 in 1:
DSRC CEN (e.g. France, Spain, Denmark, Austria, …)
ETSI: Italy
GNSS/GPS (e.g. Germany, Belgium, …)
Countries with EFC systems 3

Simplification for Toll Charger to handle international customers
Migration of existing Toll Systems
Easing implementation of new toll Systems
Market, Competition and Cost Efficiency
Fostering Competition of technologies

7. From a Regional EETS (REETS) to an EETS Facilitation Platform

8. We have triggered a huge change process
Activity 0 – Project Management
Activity 6 – Return on Experience
ANALYSIS PHASE
EETS Info Platform
Activity 1 Contractual Framework and Risk Mgmt
Activity 2 Certification
(R)EETS Interoperability Management
Activity 3 KPI
Activity 4 Back Office Interfaces
Activity 5 Interoperability Management
EETS
Coordination
Monitoring PHASE
Activity 7 - Information Platform
Activity 8 - Monitoring Testing / Implementation

9. REETS is a success story
REETS has achieved its objectives
Analytical Activities 1 – 5 completed
Info platform in operation
Cross border implementations started and will continue
We have triggered a huge change process which is constantly evolving
First TC/SP implementations will come in operation in 2016
5 implementing EETS Providers (Axxès, Telepass, Total, Eurotoll, BroBizz) + several implementing Service Providers – others likely to follow
The REETS community will constantly move towards EETS (horizon 2017/2018)
Transition of the project to an EETS Facilitation Platform 9

10. EETS Facilitation Platform - Interaction

11. MoU for an EETS Facilitation Platform (EFP)
2 key elements of the EFP
EETS Information Platform: managed by ASECAP and AETIS
EETS Facilitation Platform: managed by a Secretariat (ASFINAG)
Signing parties
Toll Charger and EETS Provider / Service Provider
Member States (not acting as TC) as observers
ASECAP and AETIS
EETS Steering Group (ESG): strategic guidance
EETS Working Group: coordination of operational cross border deployment activities 11

12. EETS Info Plattform 12

13. Implementation of EETS

14. Status before REETS Pilot
Independent SPs in operation (REETS states only)
SP in operation (EFP states only)
Countries with EFC systems

15. Priorities Implementation - Overview15

16. Implementation Snapshot –Possible Scenario end 2017
Independent EP/SP in operation
Pilot preparation/operation in progress
Possibly enlarged EFP
Operation or operation soon expected
Countries with EFC systems

17. Conclusions and Key Issues for the Future

18. Conclusions and future Key Issues
EETS Market develops: New Players come, others leave
The REETS Community found together – let us grow it!
Accept and foster interim solutions towards EETS (e.g. more than just one EETS-OBU for a certain period).
Not waiting for the perfect (technical) solution, just do it based on solutions available 18

19. Conclusions and future Key Issues
Fair and effective Competition
Effective competition necessary for future prices of the service
Regional Providers will be of significant importance
Requirement of pan-European coverage does not fit into the market approach
Look for solutions in other sectors, e.g. deregulation in airline industry or telecom (universal service)
Implementation and certification schedules influence time to market 19

20. Conclusions and future Key Issues
EC started the amendment of legislation with a "targeted consultation" on EETS legal framework:
Coverage by the service
Ensuring the fair functioning of the EETS market
Reducing the cost of electronic tolling and of the EETS
Costs of the lack of Interoperability for road users
Cross border enforcement
New technologies
Light vehicles
Let us continue and move constantly forward 20
