| Summary |
This is your road map to today's technologies, systems, regulatory issues, and pricing schemes for electronic toll collection and road-user charging. This authoritative book lets you cut through the maze of available solutions and design options, so you can match the right technology to your policy needs. It clearly steers you through pricing and traffic management principles to easily establish and evolve policies and pricing schemes. The book also provides you with easy-to-follow end-to-end steps in system planning, technology selection, procurement and operations.nnThis practical resource teaches you ways to implement an effective enforcement regime, while obeying laws on user privacy and balancing costs with returns. You find expert guidance on the charging process and technologies, vehicle classification, standards and regulatory environments, and back-office operations. The book presents 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. The book provides not only a valuable information source for government officials and industry staff but also an essential reference text for postgraduate and undergraduate students alike.
