Moving from conventional tolling installations to open road tolling
The tendency today is clear: to move from traditional single-lane, barrier controlled toll collection systems to multi-lane free-flow tolling (Open Road Tolling, ORT). The consequences of this transition are substantial: better and more efficient solutions in terms of increased traffic throughput, reduced number of traffic incidents and fewer disturbances to the customers. Another important advantage is the fact that ORT will significantly contribute to reduced pollution and fuel wastage from vehicles queueing at toll booths. However, certain issues and design features need careful attention and discussions in the early design stages in order to enable the full potentials of the ORT concept without creating negative impacts that could potentially overshadow the benefits.
