APPLYING ITS TECHNOLOGY FOR ROAD PRICING OF HEAVY GOODS VEHICLES (HGVS) : AN [SIC.] EUROPEAN CASE STUDY

This paper presents an application of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) to road pricing. Two possible ITS technologies applying Global Positioning Systems (GPS) are examined. A case study of electronic road pricing for Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) is described, showing the potential benefits to be achieved with its introduction. The paper also presents the estimated costs to implement the proposed ITS technologies. It concludes showing that ITS applications to road pricing can decrease possible equity distortions among HGVs operators
