Abstract:Intelligent transportation systems using vehicle-to-infrastructure communications are being adopted rapidly. Many state and local transportation agencies are currently evaluating the replacement of highway toll plazas with open-road (or overhead) gantries, often mounted with high-resolution cameras for license plate reading and high-speed sensors for transponder detection. Conversion to electronic open-road tolling (EORT) systems can provide a range of benefits, including smoother traffic flow and lower crash risk, better asset management and lower maintenance costs, and the ability to instantaneously adjust fares for variable or congestion pricing. EORT systems can also potentially reduce emissions and energy consumption; however, the environmental benefits between different electronic tolling configurations have not yet been well-characterized.
