Abstract

In this article the author profiles an Australian’s company’s implementation of a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-based electronic toll collection (ETC) method. The company implemented an 18 month long trial in Sydney known as Project Matrix that investigated decentralized and centralized tolling as well as whether GNSS could provide a smooth transition away from video-based and dedicated short-range communications (DSRC)-based systems. Results were positive, with the author explaining that the recommendation from the study was to slowly transition to GNSS and first use a hybrid GPS/DSRC system. The company has invested in five of Sydney’s nine major arterials and so the implementation of a sophisticated ETC system is of importance it. The company is also in negotiations in Virginia to possibly engage in a public-private partnership (PPP) for control of some of that state’s high occupancy toll (HOT) lanes.
