In view of road charging for passenger cars, several companies grouped themselves into a consortium that devised a technological solution. The idea is for each vehicle to be equipped with a device (the on-board unit, OBU). Thanks to an innovative solution, the (removable) OBU is uniquely identifiable with the vehicle, which makes the technology fraud-proof. The OBU has a GPS, making its location always known. Besides this, the OBU can also communicate over the GSM network via GPRS. The location of the vehicle is transmitted in real-time to a computer (the back-end server), which on the one hand determines the exact position of the vehicle (the map-matching), and on the other hand calculates the cost per kilometre. This information is sent back to the OBU, allowing the driver to know what the cost of the trip was. At the end of the journey, an invoice can be made. The system is quite flexible: <\/p>\n
We expect that from the beginning of September on, 15 drivers from Leuven will perform tests with a car and on-board unit, simulating road charging amongst other things. TML's contribution to the consortium is mainly the construction of a solid support on which the tariffs for road charging can be based. At a later stage, more test drivers will be available. Based on this, we check together with the City of Leuven as to which end road charging can offer a solution for the city's mobility problems. <\/p>\n
