Title: A GNSS-based in-car odometer for distance-based toll collection
Abstract: In the never-ending struggle against traffic-jams and ever longer-lasting rush hours, the Dutch govemment has introduced the 'kilometerheffing' (kilometer levy) concept. The reasons behind this concept are twofold: make the 'bulk consumer' pay more for the use of the public infrastructure than the occasional user and discourage the use of a car during peak hours on busy roads. In order to achieve these targets, an odometer is needed that will not only register distance, but also time and place. The combination of distance, time and place can be used for dynamic road pricing: one mile during the Monday-morning rush hour driving into a city will cost more than one mile on a Sunday afternoon in a rural area.
