1. VIKING PMB Lillehammer 9-10 February 2004 Host project presentation: Two recent milestones for Norwegian EFC, National Interoperability and fully automated Toll Stations

2. The AutoPASS Contract An implementation of CESARE II NPRA 19.02.2004

3. History of ETC in Norway 1987 The first EFC in operation in the World at Ålesund, Norway 1990 The first EFC City Toll Ring in Oslo 1991 The first unmanned Toll Ring in Trondheim 1997 The AutoPASS project was launched 2000 The AutoPASS implementation started 2003 Approximately 1 million OBU’s issued 2004-02-01 Start of full National Interoperability for EFC 2004-02-02 Start of fully automated, free flow toll plazas

4. Basic Concept - 1 • Central subscriber account • Free flow, no barriers • Video enforcement • Pre-payment gives discount • Manual payment service always available (until 2004) • Coin machines in high volume plazas • Two classes (><3,5 tons allowed total weight)

5. ETC Status today (Nov. 2003) • 42 Tolling Projects in operation • 22 have ETC systems • 260 lanes equipped • Close to 1 mill. tags issued • Annual number of transactions: >200 million • Annual revenue: near 300 million EURO

6. The long term Vision All payment systems for transport services shall be co-ordinated. The users will perceive one common system to pay fees and fares

7. The user in Focus One Contract – One OBU (IC-card) – One bill Toll Roads • Contract • OBU/IC-card • Invoice (claim) AutoPASS Contract Issuer Ferries Happy Users Parking Public Transport More..

8. Primary Goal reached 1.2.2004 • No-stop Payment in all Norwegian EFC toll projects via one (and one only) issuer contract. • The solution include: • contract issuing • contract management, • invoicing • clearing between operators/issuers • exception handling • customer relations

9. Main Considerations • The AutoPASS Contract adhere to the results from CESARE I and II projects • The primary transport service is use of road infrastructure (e.g. toll roads) and the secondary service is ferry transport • The AutoPASS Contract shall be flexible enough to include future actors

10. User Information • User information in general. All media was timed for maximum effect • OBU mounting instructions • Charging point information (at toll plazas) • EFC lane sign based on MÅNS

11. System description • Operation and management of AutoPASS Contract • Contractual framework • Technical platform • Descriptions of main functions from CESARE II • The three crucial interfaces • Overview of Security • Available in English (pdf) AutoPASS Contract Issuer AutoPASSEFC Operator User

12. Contractual framework • Between all operators: The Co-operation Contract • All AutoPASS Issuers: The Adherence Contract • For all users:(User – Issuer) TheAutoPASS Contract

13. Basic Requirements AutoPASS Contract Issuer AutoPASS Contract Issuer AutoPASS Contract Issuer AutoPASS Contract Issuer AutoPASSCollection and forwarding central AutoPASSEFC Operator AutoPASSEFC Operator AutoPASSEFC Operator AutoPASSEFC Operator • Requirements for the collections and forwarding system • Requirements for the Central systems • Requirements for the crucial interfaces

14. ETC Pilot (Test Project) • The pilot was defined and run by the AutoPASS Contract project • All EFC systems in main corridors in the Oslo area • The pilot included about 6000 users • The new Collection and Forwarding Central (CFC) distributed data from October 2003. • CFC is an outsourced service

15. Implementation • No additional contract for interoperability • Passive acceptance: By use of AutoPASS lanes • Payment will be deducted from pre-payment or invoiced • No discounts outside home system • Additional contracts possible (to have discount) • Data transfer managed by Collection-Forwarding Central • Full status list inn all RSUs

16. Ferry pilot • AutoPASS EFC will be tested in ferry connections in 2004 • Full implementation in ferries is expected in 2005 • Smart-card will contain AutoPASS OBU information

17. Milestone number two: Fully Automated Free Flow Tolling Implemented 2 February 2004 in Bergen and Tønsberg

18. Fully Automated Free Flow Tolling • Full implementation in two city rings introducing EFC from 2 February 2004 • A totally new concept based on OCR Video and AutoPASS • No extra lanes – gantries only • Cost-effective and environment friendly • A design for the future

19. Fully Automated Free Flow Tolling • No manual payment at toll stations • Petrol stations act as agents • Three alternative payment means: • Normal AutoPASS subscriber • Anonymous pre-payed AutoPASS tag • Post-payment from licence plate reading (OCR)

20. Fully Automated Free Flow Tolling • saves investment costs • saves operation costs • encourages EFC subscription • two full scale pilots: • The ”old” toll ring in Bergen • The new toll ring in Tønsberg

21. Fully Automated Free Flow Tolling Plaza layout

22. Fully Automated Free Flow Tolling

23. Fully Automated Free Flow Tolling ”Anonymous” AutoPASS pre Payment

24. Registration plate reading post Payment

25. Fully Automated Free Flow Tolling

26. Efficient Day and night Operation

27. Fully Automated Free Flow Tolling Road-side Information to users Pre-warning 0,5-1,5km Over lanes In toll plaza Information board 200-300 before toll plaza Pre-warning of info by road-side Information after passage of plaza Supplementary sign 150-200 before plaza
