Abstract
It has been proven on several implementations worldwide, that introducing of road charging scheme in urban area is very simple and efficient way to reduce traffic volumes, lower congestions and shorten travel time. Herewith, there is a possibility of utilization of charged money, e.g. for financing of public transportation. In our paper, based on analysis of traffic intensities and results of social survey, we describe a proposal of charging schema for the central part of the city of Žilina in Slovakia.
Highlights
Toll collection is one of the ways that users of road network can pay for its utilization
There are three main reasons, why toll collection is introduced to: - obtain finance that can be further used for construction of new road infrastructure or improvement of public transportation, - to reduce emissions, noise and other negative externalities produced by transportation, - to reduce congestions on selected roads or time periods in order to increase capacity of road network
The toll rates are set per day or per entry to city centre
Summary
Toll collection is one of the ways that users of road network can pay for its utilization. These systems are based on DSRC and ANPR technologies. Automatic number-plate recognition (ANPR) is a technology that uses optical character recognition on images to read vehicle registration plates to create vehicle location data It can use existing closed-circuit television, road-rule enforcement cameras, or cameras designed for the task. The key advantage, comparing to traditional systems with toll plazas, is that there is no need to stop vehicles when executing the process of charging It means that such system is not a source of congestions and does not affect the fluency of traffic flow in a negative way. The same principles can be utilized in urban areas as well
