Evaluation of Road User Charging Systems: the Swedish Case
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper identifies a set of important criteria to consider when evaluating potential road user charging (RUC) systems, grouped into charging accuracy, system costs and societal benefits, flexibility and modifiability, operational aspects, and security and privacy. These criteria are then used in a comparative analysis of four RUC candidate systems for heavy goods vehicles in Sweden. We conclude by pointing out a number of important issues needing additional attention in the process of developing a Swedish Road User Charging (RUC) system.

Dimensioning Study for Road User Charging
Road User Charging (RUC) solutions based on the concept of thin clients rely upon timely delivery of Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV) positions towards a RUC provider, which then performs the map matching and the calculation of the road user charges. In order to avoid data loss and late delivery, a proper dimensioning of the system is required. For the Swedish case, we investigate the feasibility of ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Digital Maps for Road User Charging Applications
Advances in alternative fuel technologies and increasing motor vehicle fuel efficiency may result in a decline or flattening of demand for conventional fuels in the U.S. in the coming decades. One outcome of this development maybe a reduction in state and federal income from motor fuel taxes, the primary source of funding to maintain and improve the transportation infrastructure. To keep pace w...
متن کاملInvestigating Drivers’ Responses to Road-user Charges Using Global Positioning System (gps) Technology
This paper describes the design and implementation of a field trial of a GPS-based road-user charging system held in Newcastle upon Tyne, U.K. Employees from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne were recruited to participate in experiments of both point-based and distance-based charging. To avoid road-user charges for commuting to and from the University during the trial period, volunteers cou...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Effects of Maintenance and Rehabilitation Projects on Road User Costs via HDM-4 Software
Rapid growth in a number of vehicles on roadways accelerates pavement deterioration trends. Pavement inefficiency in carrying the applied load from passing vehicles results in spending significant costs on continues Maintenance and Rehabilitation (M&R) treatments. Lane closure owing to the implementation of M&R operations incurs enormous costs on road users. The research aimed to calculate, and...
متن کاملSmart City Reference Model: Interconnectivity for On-Demand User to Service Authentication
The Internet of Things and Services (IoTS) has encouraged the development of service provisioning systems in respect to Smart City topics. Most of them are operated as heterogeneous systems which limits end customers’ access and contradicts with IoTS principles. In this paper, we discuss and develop a reference model of an interconnected service marketplace ecosystem. The prototypical implement...
