Abstract:

Many administrations around the world are now seriously considering road user charging. In this paper I answer the question "How can a scheme have a higher chance of success by design?". My premise is that the design of the scheme has a high impact on the choice of technology required, the cost of implementation and also on public acceptability and usability. The consulting firm discussed herein has worked with many clients around the world, helping them with feasibility studies, implementation and operation of road user charging schemes. As a result we have accumulated and shared much experience of what works and what doesn't. In summary my advice is that simple is best and this paper explains what makes a solution simple.
