Basic technical features of all components are presented, especially those applied for the first time in tolling on motorways. The entire system architecture is presented and connections of different system layers are described. Also, the paper deals with integration of the toll system in the motorway intelligent transportation system(ITS), and problems and solutions which arise in implementation of the entire ITS. Special elaboration is devoted to the telecommunication system based on GPRS technology, which is used for data transfer. In conclusion, the interoperability of pay toll systems is elaborated, with special emphasis on further spreading of interoperability of tolling systems in the Southeast European Region. A review of tolling systems in neighboring countries is given underlining the ability of these systems to provide electronic toll collection interoperability.Read More
