The IRF is planning a key course covering road tolling aspects. This course is intended to empower government agencies and other stakeholders to select optimum tolling solutions for projects. The 3918 IRF Washington is running the event in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on September 12th-15th 2016. The event is called; Navigating road user charging solutions.
This course will assist government agencies and stakeholders in finding the best case solutions for the electronic toll collection (ETC) market. This market is complex to understand as it offers a wide range of solutions and systems, many of which are based on legacy developments addressing different technical and regulatory criteria. To add to the complication, both capital expenditure and operational expenditure remain significant hurdles for many road agencies. Clearly those decision-makers considering the deployment of ETC systems face a complex task in selecting the most suitable option from the array of solutions and financial models available.
IRF's vice president for international programmes is Magid Elabyad and he said, “It is essential for road agencies to carefully consider the system they want to have in place prior to large-scale investment decisions. The principal objective of IRF’s new course is to provide road stakeholders with a detailed understanding of those electronic tolling solutions that are available at the current time, and those that have potential for the near future. In keeping with IRF’s approach to continuing education, our goal is to assist attendees in learning to correctly apply the knowledge gained.”
The solutions discussed by independent specialists and leading industry providers such as4183 Xerox, 3M and Far Eastern Toll Collection will be placed in the context of their real-world deployment across different types of schemes. The course will also cover applicable charging and enforcement solutions available to network managers. At the end of the workshop, participants will have been exposed to selected ETC schemes at different stages of maturity and representative of the diversity of market solutions.
IRF’s new course covers key decisions policy makers and road managers are confronted with such as: cost and performance; planning with interoperability in mind; enforcement and exception handling; operating a tolling service; establishing key performance indicators; stakeholder consultation and scheme publicity.
