ROAD PRICING IN HONG KONG

The proposed installation of an electronic road pricing (ERP) system in Hong Kong iss briefly described. Major components of the system are (1) electronic number plate (ENP) fitted to vehicles, (2) toll site comprising a loop array in the road, an outstation and optional toll signs, (3) data transmission system, (4) control centre, (5) CCTV enforcement system which records and transmits to the control centre photographs of vehicles about which there is a query. Potential advantages of the system in providing traffic engineers and transport planners with historical and real time data on traffic counts, axle counts, routes, journey times and trop matrices are also discussed.
