Urban Tolling
New opportunities for toll collection in cities.
The traffic situation in conurbations can, in many places, be considered as unsatisfactory. To make jammed streets and congestion a thing of the past, Satellic is implementing innovative solutions for cities and conurbations under its “Urban Mobility” initiative.
The introduction of a city toll in conjunction with other measures, such as the management of the public transport network to meet public needs, offers new opportunities for improving traffic management. It can make a significant contribution to producing a range of positive effects:
Optimized traffic management
- Control of traffic flows (in time/geographically)
- Promotion of a shift to use of public transport – this requires the development of public transport to meet public need
Improvement of the environment and health
- Reduction of noise and pollutant emissions
- Improvement of air quality and the quality of life
Economic benefits
- Development of new sources of income, e.g. for expansion of the traffic infrastructure
- Optimization of the traffic flow for economic transport.
Satellic’s offering is very extensive and flexible. The available options are:
- Booking systems or automatic toll collection systems, such as satellite-based applications (GNSS/GPS)
- Solutions used short-wave communication (DSRC/RFID) or hybrid solutions.
The question of the system to be implemented is dependent on the relevant application and local conditions, specifications and customer requirements.
One investment, one platform, many possibilities now and in the future.
Satellic’s Telematics-Platform provides an effective transport management tool delivering a range of techniques to better manage transport networks, raise revenue through optimized road tolling services and reduce the environmental impact of road traffic.
In addition to the nationwide tolling scheme including the world’s largest satellite-based truck toll system in Germany, Satellic also provides a range of different solutions for urban mobility and active environmental protection. These include city-toll systems, applications such as electronic tracking and tracing and the emission modeling system (EMS).
The current solutions provided by Satellic, based on the company's new Telematics-Platform, allow the implementation of flexible, highly-adaptable toll solutions and value-added services.
Satellic’s platform:
… is an integrated platform,
… is a modular and open platform,
… is based on standard software and open interfaces and guarantees complete
compatibility with existing and future GPS, GLONASS and Galileo satellite navigation
systems.
The solution makes optimal use of commercial off-the-shelf software and its open architecture enables ease of integration with existing systems to provide a unified approach to service delivery.
