Purpose: This research paper aims to propose a framework for seamless integration of technological standards in toll collection systems, with the goal of achieving interoperability. The framework will consider likely developments and enhancements in tolling practices, as well as potential tie-ins to other Intelligent Transportation Systems deployments.
Methodology: The proposed framework will also explore the potential benefits of real-time travel information and responsive pricing in toll collection systems. The recommended framework will facilitate the implementation of interoperable toll collection systems by incorporating technological standards.
Findings: The framework developed in this paper will allow planning agencies to assess the benefits of real-time travel information and responsive pricing in publicly operated toll roads. By comparing the value of these policy options or contract terms, the framework will assist in identifying the optimal tolls for different scenarios. The framework will also explore the integration of vehicle identification/registration systems with tolling functions and other transportation system management functions.
Unique contributor to theory, policy and practice: The framework developed in this paper will enable seamless integration of technological standards in toll collection systems, promoting interoperability.
