TECHNOLOGY CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A STATEWIDE ROAD USER FEE SYSTEM

This paper presents alternative technologies and business options for the collection of road user fees. Thus it considers the pros and cons of different road pricing systems, made available by different ITS technologies applications, and derives recommendations. To do so it bases its results on data available from relevant applications in the state of Oregon in the US, which however represent typical ITS toll applications, thus leading to generic conclusions.
