A Demonstration of Interoperable Electronic Fee Collection Systems in the European Motorways – The Case Study of Greece

This contribution to the "WCTR'04”, will explain the main features of the European Project PISTA, “Pilot of Interoperable System for Tolling Applications”, focusing upon the case of the 3 major Greek Transport Service Providers. This Demonstration Project consists of carrying out a series of pilot tests of interoperable Electronic Fee Collection (IOEFC) Systems, throughout a corridor belonging to several European motorway networks (Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Denmark and Sweden). The IOEFC system technology as defined in PISTA is based on Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC), which is still considered as the “state of the art” technology that can be implemented with enough security and financial feasibility. The project, belonging to the broad area of Transport Telematics, also incorporates the study of a number of relevant aspects related to Electronic Fee Collection such as cross-border enforcement, taxation and management procedures.
