SWITZERLAND2001First Nationwide Toll System for Trucks (onallroads)Distance-Based Tolling(LSVA = “Leistungsabhängige Schwerverkehrsabgabe”)►Law for “LSVA” passed in 1998 for tolling on all roads►System start: January 1st, 2001►For Trucks > 3.5 tons; ~ 60,000 On Board Units (OBUs)►avg. price / km: 65 Eurocents or 1.6 cents / ton / km
Commercial Issues►Contract award (1999): Fela/Ascom; CAPEX ~ € 200 million►Operation costs ~ 5% of revenues (€ 35 million / year)►~ 750 MEUR revenues generated per year►LSVA makes for 20% of the overall transport costs
Satellite and Microwave Technologies Used►Distance measured by odometer (tachograph) connection►GPS verifies the distances, recorded on a “smart-card”►Microwave used for enforcement and at the borders

GERMANY2005First Nationwide Toll System for Trucks with GNSS/GSMOpen Road Tolling on Motorways and Highways►System start: on January 1st, 2005 (16 months delayed)►For Trucks > 12 tons; 1.3 Million users (> 550,000 OBUs)►avg. price/km: 12.4 Eurocents or 0.3 cents / ton / km►~ 12,000 km Road Network; ~ 5,000 Toll Segments►~ 90% of revenue via OBUs; 3,500 roadside terminals ~ 8%
Commercial Issues►Contract award (2002): TollCollect; CAPEX “way over €1b”►Operation costs ~20% (€ 600 million / year)►approximately € 3 Billion revenues generated per year►Penalty for delays still open, government wants € 4.5 billion
Satellite / GSM Technology►Tolled road network is easily expandable►Satellite Technology has proven to be very reliable►Delays due to underestimated system integration efforts►Dual system (manual booking) is too complex & costly

AUSTRIA2004First Nationwide Toll System for Trucks on MotorwaysOpen Road Tolling on Motorways and Highways►System start on January 1st, 2004►For Trucks & Buses > 3.5 tons (~ 500.000 active OBUs)►avg. price/km: 22 Eurocents or 0.6 cents / ton / km►~ 2.000 km Tolled Network; ~ 800 Toll Segments►~ 45% of tolling revenue generated by foreigner users
Commercial Issues►Contract award (2002): Autostrade; valued at € 747 million►Operation costs ~10%►~ € 800 million revenues generated per year►ASFiNAG purchased “Europpass” for € 208 million in 2005
Microwave Technology►Local Austrian supplier purchased companies in Germany andSweden with the technology, making some adaptations►Major effort in building 800 gantries (building permits needed fordigging data and power lines to all the gantries)►Project started on time, 18 months after contract awardPhoto courtesy of Autostrade S.p.A.

UNITED KINGDOM2004-2005Preparation of “Taxes” for all Trucks on all RoadsLorry Road User Charging Programme (“LRUC”)►Distance-Based Tolling for Trucks > 3.5 tons►Road usage fees based on truck category,type of road, andtime of day(i.e. higher fees during rush hour)►Not a tolling scheme, but a tax-refund scheme forcing foreigntrucks to pay (since they didn’t pay U.K. fuel taxes)►Was planned for introduction 2007-2008, then cancelled sincethe combination with fuel taxation was too costly►Only satellite-based solutions were considered
Tender Process►3 Tenders for Charging Data, Enforcement, Central System►Anticipated revenues about € 5 billion per year►Anticipated costs € 3 - 4 Billion (with 10 years operation)
Lessons Learned►Consultants not only made a small fortune, but had anexcellent chance to educate themselves in tolling►No company or consortium made an offer for all three lots,since the integration risks were considered too highAll rights reserved / � Siemens AG 2011Infrastructure & Cities Sector, Division Mobility and Logistics

CZECH REPUBLIC2007Nationwide Toll System for Trucks on MotorwaysOpen Road Tolling on Motorways (& First-Class Roads)►System start on January 1st, 2007►For Trucks > 12 tons (although tender issued for > 3.5 tons)►Phase 1: 970 km Motorway Network, 350 Toll Segments►Phase 2: 1,100 km of first-class roads, 500 Toll SegmentsPHASE 2 NEVER IMPLEMENTED – New Tender Planned
Commercial Issues►System cost 22 Billion CZK (~ € 930 million)►5.5 Billion CZK revenues for 2007 (ČTK 04-11-2007)►10 years operation (but only for highways, not other roads)►Operation costs: 22/5,5 = 2.2 Billion, ~ 40%
Minister Admits That Technology Is Not Suitable►In June 2007, shortly after the system was launched, the Ministerof Transport held a press conference, presenting the problems ofthe system and announcing a new tenderAll rights reserved / � Siemens AG 2011Infrastructure & Cities Sector, Division Mobility and Logistics

LONDONCongestion Charge Introduced 2003 – A Success StoryHighly Innovative (and Controversial) City Charge►Introduced 17 February 2003, extended 19 February 2007►Daily fee set at £5, raised to £8 on 4 July 2005►Payment online, per phone, SMS, or at special outlets►Fines start at £50, after 2 weeks £100, after 1 month £150►Special discounts for those living within the zone
Results►Traffic delays reduced by 30%►Reduction of traffic by 15% (60,000 less vehicles)►Average speed in zone increased from 13 km/h to 18 km/h►50-60% of car drivers moved to public transportation
Commercial Issues►annual operating costs £64 million►£160 million revenues (£138 million for charges, £22 million for penalties) whichare re-invested into the transportation system►Transport for London: “congestion charging was contributing the equivalent of£50 million of net transport benefits to London’s economy per year”All rights reserved / � Siemens AG 2011Infrastructure & Cities Sector, Division Mobility and Logistics

Why Choose a GPS Based Tolling SystemNo need for tolling infrastructureNo power supply lines for gantries neededIndependent from national power gridNo fiber optical network neededLow Maintenance cost on roadside infrastructure just for enforcementTheft prevention of the roadside infrastructure is kept to a minimumEasy upgrade and update of road segments and charge pointsFlexibility:Pricing models depending on road type, vehicle categories, peak hours, off-peak hours, working day vs. weekend can be set up easilyInvesting into the future:GPS will be the leading technology for tollingAll rights reserved / � Siemens AG 2011Infrastructure & Cities Sector, Division Mobility and Logistics
