Toll Collection Service in Kansai
NEXCO-West (West Nippon Expressway Company Limited) opened the Daini-Keihan Expressway in March 2010. The expressway makes up the new network of expressways in the Kansai region of Japan. As a result, a driver can select many routes to go to the destination. The network-advanced expressway will have difficulty in supplying the information that enables drivers to select the route by which drivers take a shorter time. Drivers will be able to pay a lower fee by receiving the discount from hours and sections. NEXCO-West uses the data of DSRC (Dedicated Short-Range Communication) as the fee accounting and as the route information drivers’ pass through from entrance to exit. The DSRC antennas are installed for fee accounting and the route information collecting to figure out drivers’ traffic characteristics. (This is called the free flow antennas ”FFA”.) NEXCO-West has used the Electric toll collection system for nine years. Therefore they are renewing the system structure. In this research report, the authors introduce the free flow antennas and the system to figure out drivers’ traffic characteristics.
