Possibilities of functional upgrade of tolling system in free-flow for heavy goods vehicles in the Republic of Slovenia

摘要

M. Sc. Thesis discusses the tolling system in the free-flow for heavy goods vehicles in theudRepublic of Slovenia. From activities taken we can conclude that in the next years electronicudtoll collection system will become functional, initially only for heavy goods vehicles and inudthe next phase also for passenger cars. Introduction of electronic toll collection system in theudfree-flow will from technical point of view open way to many possibilities that such a systemudcan provide in addition to its primary purpose - the tolling of vehicles. M. Sc. Thesis focusesudon logistics in freight transport by road, on improvement of the supply chain management andudon freight optimization which this technology will enable. Road safety is also important issue.udIn addition to the activities on electronic toll collection in free-flow exercised by the Republicudof Slovenia, the important fact is that on the international level the European Union isudbuilding a global satellite navigation system Galileo. One of the objectives of this M. Sc.udThesis is to consider the interests of all actors involved to determine what options may beudused to upgrade the electronic toll system for heavy goods vehicles and what possibilities theudsystem's technical characteristics will allow. In this context the M. Sc. Thesis also presents theudplanned applications of the European satellite navigation system Galileo.
