| Summary | Our country is promoting the development of Intelligent Transportation System actively in recent years. The development of ITS is based on the Master Plan of Intelligent Transportation System in Taiwan Area-2004. The master plan was published in 2004 by MOTC. There are nine major service fields in the master plan and Electronic Toll Collection is one of them. ETC applies the advanced technology of Automatic Vehicle Identification, Automatic Vehicle Classification, and Video Enforcement System etc. The two-way communication of the On Board Unit and AVI can promote the efficiency of the toll area or the toll station. And then, we can achieve the purpose of traffic management. In early days, ETC was used in the closed road such as highway, expressway, bridge and tunnel, etc. Some foreign countries apply ETC to the traffic management of the urban areas in recent years. There is greater elasticity for ETC to the change of rate and thus it can be used in Congestion Pricing, which implements the idea of user charge in order to suppress the use of the motor vehicles, make the road capacity be used efficiently, and then solve the congestion problem. The technical development of ETC offers the foundation of congestion pricing. This study is the pilot research for congestion pricing in urban. According to reviewing ETC technologies and foreign cases, analyzing the traffic characteristics and development environment in urban, and interviewing users and governmental sectors, this study analyzes the application feasibility of congestion pricing technologies in urban area and proposes the planning principles and the relevant development strategies as well. |
