The paper concerns the implementation of the European Electronic Toll Service (EETS) in Poland. The Motor Transport Institute conducted tests for a pilot project – the functional structure of the National Automatic Toll Collection System (KSAPO). The system consists of the following elements: two intelligent On-Board Units (OBU), two control gantries, and a laboratory model of the national automatic toll collection center (KCAPO). The OBU automatically calculates the toll, taking into account the vehicle category (GVW, number of axles), emission class, and the distance traveled. The OBU is equipped with GPS, GSM, and
DSRC modules, which ensures its interoperability with other EETS systems in EU member states. This type of system is the best solution for Poland due to its unique capabilities.
THE PILOT PROJECT OF NATCS FOR POLAND
The paper refers to some problems of European Electronic Tolling Service (EETS) implementation in Poland. Motor Transport Institute has developed and tested the pilot project – the functional structure of the National Automatic Toll
Collection System (NATCS). It consists of the following elements: two intelligent
OBU`s, two control gates and laboratory model of National Automatic Toll
Collection Centre (NATCC). OBU automatically calculates the amount of charge due taking into account the vehicle category (admissible weight, number of axles), the emissions class and road distance. OBU is equipped with GPS, GSM and DSRC module, so it is interoperable with other EETS in member states of the European
Union. This presented kind of system is the best solution for Poland because of unique capabilities. (…)
