GNSS Tolling
More flexible
More extensible
Lower transaction cost
Less environmental impact
Greater fairness
Greater privacy
Greater revenue potential
Evolutionary introduction
Traffic management
Interoperable
Fuel tax replacement
2

1 More flexible
Policy and Control
Any imaginable policy
Pricing rules
any time
any distance
any place
any cordon
any segment
any vehicle type
Manage exceptions
Avoid rat running
Supply-demand rules prevail

GNSS road pricing system is FLEXIBLE…

2 More extensible
Infrastructure Free Buildout
Every new kilometer or square kilometer of GNSS extension is just a database change
Every new kilometer of microwave extension cost the same as the first kilometer

6
A GNSS road pricing system is Extensible…

3 Lower transaction cost
Infrastructure-free means incremental cost per transaction falls faster as system expand to fill a region/country
RUC transaction costs fall even faster as GNSS OBUs handle many more applications
Microwave suffers from diminishing returns as a network extends past limited access roads

4 Less environmental impact
No gantries
No guard rails
No power
No barriers to avoid
8

5 Greater fairness
Charges are fairer
Smoother distribution of charges
Vary by demand
Scaled to time of use, weight, emissions class
“Paying proportional to use is fairer than relyingon accidents of geography or route.”- From Overcoming Global Gridlock
10

6 GREATER PRIVACY
Only GNSS can be 100% private
Microwave records time at location
Cameras record time at location
Paying for gas tax with credit card records time at location
Smart GNSS clients offer full location anonymity
and personal audit
11

Smart Meter Privacy Spectrum
It is possible set any level of privacy requested by customers
12

7 Greater Revenue Potential
Net revenue increases as new toll lanes added
Sat-nav signals are non-proprietary and free, increasing OBU pricing competition
More applications: parking, insurance, safety, traveler services, etc
more revenue
Lower operating costs
Little or no roadside infrastructure
Increased competition
13

8 Evolutionary Introduction
100% in-car infrastructure means
Start small & build (extensible)
Voluntary programming
Programs to fit purposes
Changeable/adaptable (flexible)
14

9 Traffic Management
Wide-area, traffic volume data:
Aggregated and anonymized
Managing traffic signals
Congestion-based navigation
Planning
Routing
15

10 Interoperable
Non-proprietary signals
Anyone can operate anywhere
ISO Standards
Financial data exchanged at back-office
Infrastructure-free
GNSS system can overlay (geo-fence) microwave system
Let microwave stay for now
16

11 Fuel Tax Replacement
Fuel Tax replacement is fair only if you can charge anywhere
For the best traffic management system since the round-about…
Design FIRST for transport demand management
Design SECOND for traffic control
Design THIRD for tax collection
