As part of this initiative, the industry is testing 5.9GHz VII-based electronic payment applications. This paper describes the associated technological and business challenges that toll operators should consider in order to take advantage of the opportunities offered by VII-based tolling. VII-based tolling would offer several advantages over the technology and processes currently used for electronic toll collection. VII-based tolling is based on open standards; offers better performance in terms of latency, read distance and security; and permits more applications that advance safety and mobility. However, there are technological and operational challenges that must be resolved. These include issues related to vehicle classification; existing lane-configuration design; account provisioning, authentication, and portability; multiple account links; payment enforcement systems; back-office models; and interoperability. Industry associations and consortiums are working to promote solutions that will overcome these challenges and provide a way to better measure the value of changes that VII will bring to tolling practices.Read More
