TOLLED ROADWAY AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A ROADWAY TOLLING SYSTEM

摘要

A method for operating a roadway tolling system includes recording an entry time onto a ticket when a vehicle enters a tolled roadway at an entry point of an entrance location. The method also includes dispensing the ticket to an occupant of the vehicle at the entry point and collecting the ticket from the occupant when the vehicle exits the tolled roadway at an exit point of a tolling location. The method further includes recording an exit time for the vehicle at the exit point, calculating a toll for the vehicle, and calculating an average speed for the vehicle. The method further includes comparing the average speed to a speed limit, and issuing a fine to the occupant of the vehicle if the average speed of the vehicle is greater than the speed limit. A tolled roadway is also provided.
