摘要: |
Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) is one of the clear success stories for intelligent transportation systems. To date, focus has been on the ability of these systems to process two to four times more vehicles than an automatic coin machine and collect tolls at highway speeds. However, ETC has the potential to revolutionize the toll collection industry in an additional manner: through the collection of time-of- day or congestion-based variable tolls. This paper first examines how ETC in Lee County, Florida, is being used to charge tolls that vary by time of day. Variable tolling/pricing has been operational since August 1998 and has successfully shifted some peak-period traffic to off-peak times. The paper then uses responses from a recent revealed- choice telephone survey to examine user participation and response to both ETC and the variable tolling program. |
