The EETS in the European Union member states is not interoperable due to differences in charging concepts, technology standards, classification and tariff structure, legal and institutional backgrounds. European Commission has taken bold steps to address that issue. The first one was Directive 2004/52/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the interoperability of electronic road toll systems in the Community. The second was decision to launch Europe’s own Galileo system. The third was EC decision from 6 October 2009 based on Research Charging Interoperability (RCI) and Common Electronic Fee Collection System for a Road Tolling European Service (CESARE) projects. EETS will be available within three years for all road vehicles above 3.5 tones or allowed to carry more than nine passengers, including the driver. It will be available for all other vehicles within five years. Motor Transport Institute researches in mentioned matters have been presented. With regard to future expansion and development, the satellite-based toll collection system will be a better solution, especially with regard to flexibility when it comes to extending toll collection to every road category, every category of vehicle and, what's more, in terms of cost efficiency in implementation and operation.Read More
