2. Toll Road Network in Germany
Toll Network
12,500 km federal motorways (since
2005)
more than 5,300 sections (one direction)
with an average length of 4.7 km
additional 42 km national roads with an
average length of 0.8 km (since 2007)
Operational Status
Road charging for trucks ≥ 12t
41% are non German trucks
27,4 billion kilometers driven in 2007
3,4 billion EUR collected in 2007
90% use automatic system (about
650.000 OBUs), 10% use manual
system
level of availability/accuracy: 99,75%

6. Flexibility is the most interesting aspect
Motorway networks are not static
approx. 100 changes per quarter occur in Germany
Examples:
newly built junctions and tolled sections respectively sections
that are no longer tolled
modified courses of interchanges, highway sections or access roads
Construction works on sections leading to temporary modifications, etc.
Changes of junctions Changes of highway sections

8. Optimisation and Cost Reduction
System Optimisation
Cost savings through technical
improvements and process development
Communication (OBU to Central System)
Increased accuracy of positioning

Activities
Engagement in RCI and Cesare IV EU projects
Cooperation with several Toll Service Providers to
reach European Interoperability

11. Value-Added Services
Basic needs of telematic services:
Positioning signal
Communication channel
Many trucks have now an OBU with GPS/GSM
one can localize & communicate with them
business cases can be made for VAS
anybody could develop VAS
Possible Value-Added Services
Tracking/Tracing
Central Monitoring of in-car
sensor systems
etc.

Interoperability.
Our NG solution meets EU-directive 2004/52/EC for Interoperability
From 2007 on - new charging systems must be based
on:
Satellite positioning or DSRC 5.8-GHz
GSM/GPRS for the data communication
Operators must provide interoperable services and On-
Board Units. This means for the user:
One Registration
One On-Board-Unit
