The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Serving as a road map to today’s technologies, systems, regulatory issues, and pricing schemes for electronic toll collection and road-user charging, this authoritative book helps professionals cut through the maze of available solutions and design options, so they can match the right technology to their policy needs. A valuable resource for government officials, industry staff and students, this practical resource presents: • Pricing and traffic management principles that easily establish and evolve policies and pricing schemes; • Easy-to-follow end-to-end steps in system planning, technology selection, procurement and operations; • Ways to implement an effective enforcement regime, while obeying laws on user privacy and balancing costs with returns; • Guidance on the charging process and technologies, vehicle classification, standards and regulatory environments, and back-office operations; • Case studies and best practice examples from around the world showing successful local, regional, and cross-border policies for tolling, road use pricing and traffic demand management; • Identifying and examining new technologies, policies and trends that may have an impact on the design of future generations of electronic tolling and road user charging schemes..
