Abstract:

In this resource paper the authors explore how intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and related technologies can be applied to collect user charges from operators of motor vehicles. First, the nature of transportation user charges is discussed. Next, several underlying principles that should be taken into account when structuring user charges are explained and common problems that exist with contemporary methods for charging users of transportation systems are discussed. Then current ITS capabilities are explored as they relate to roadway pricing and the collection of user charges. Finally, the authors contemplate a series of public policy issues that need to be addressed for ITS technologies to play a central role in financing highways through progressive methods of collecting user charges.
