The paper describes engineering a system for a distributed Austrian Alpine road-pricing environment as well as the structure and organization of the software development. The client/server-based road-pricing system, handling on average 1.2 million vehicle transitions per month, had be to operational within a mere eight months after the start of the...

Context 1
... planning and realization of the system concept in this paper is made for an Austrian road -pricing company, which runs the two geographically separated toll-routes through the mountain Arlberg and over the pass Brenner in the Austrian Alps (see fig. 1). Both toll-road systems, Arlberg and Brenner, have to work operationally indepen- dent, while the common administration of the toll-routes is located in a central office in the nearby city Innsbruck, which has to have direct access to the information at both routes. On the toll-roads considered in this paper you pay for the actual ...
Context 2
... toll-logic has to fulfil the following requirements for road -pricing systems in Austria: toll-route over the Brenner pass, that has one control- point on the highway and several others on approaches and descents, see fig. 1) have to be supported. Toll-systems that are based on "Vignette"-stickers or other forms of a general road-pricing system are not covered within this system. 2. Parametric representation of the rating model and cash-box configurations. All the rates have to be stored in tables independent of the specific physical design of the planned ...

Today, cameras mounted in vehicles are used to observe the driver as well as the objects around a vehicle. In this article, an outline of a concept for image based recognition of dynamic traffic situations is shown. A dynamic traffic situation will be described by road users and their intentions. Images will be taken by a vehicle fleet and aggregat...

A similar example is the Austrian toll system (Biffl et al., 1996;Mckinnon, 2006) based on a 5.8 GHz DSRC (CEN-DSRC) between the OBU and roadside equipment. • Vehicle-to-vehicle to infrastructure (V2V2I) Hybrid architecture (Z6): This architecture combines the advantages of the V2V and V2I options that were just discussed. ...
Transport telematic systems, also known as intelligent transportation systems, can be expensive to implement but the services they provide may offer substantial benefits. However, what services the system can provide depends on the architectural choices made, which also affects the cost of the system. We propose an optimization model to support a more informed decision before investing in a multiple service transport telematic system. The model evaluates the possible choices of services and architectures, and aims to maximize the total net societal benefit. We argue that the optimization model can provide support for strategic decisions by highlighting the consequences of adopting different system architectures, including both societal value and cost. This can be useful for decision makers, such as governments, road transport telematic service providers, and commercial road freight transport operators.
