TEST AND DEMONSTRATION OF TECHNIQUES FOR ROAD TOLLING

SYSTEM FOER ATT TA UPP BILAVGIFTER: PROV OCH DEMONSTRATION

The Swedish Road and Traffic Research Institute was commissioned by the Swedish Transport Research Board to study three different issues: road users' views of various road tolling techniques; a method for supervising the system with the help of payment receipts attached to the windscreen; the possibility of reading license plates from video registration. Five different payment techniques were compared: cash payment, magnetic card, credit card and two different ways of using electronic 'tags' (transponders). Ten traffic wardens took part in the study. The registrations were later analyzed with respect to the correctness of the information and the number of registered vehicles. In the experiment with video registration of license plates the number of correctly registered number plates is the basis of the results.
