| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 土木工程學研究所 === 92 === The government has planned for freeway ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) system to replace the system of traditional manual operation for years, which can achieve objectives of nonstop toll collection, increasing freeway capacity, enhancing convenience and safety, reducing air pollution, etc. Meanwhile, the cost of traditional management, maintenance and operation will be lowered significantly. In addition, ETC-based real-time data acquisitions can lead to an integrated ETTM (Electronic Toll & Traffic Management) system.
Private Sectors participate in the establishing project of freeway ETC through BOT, and the Far Eastern Group earned the bit in February 2004. The Far Eastern Group plans a system of DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communication) techniques at the initial stage, and transformed into VPS (Vehicle Positioning System). And this study proposes a system of positioning techniques with mobile phone communication, eMPS, to substitute for system of VPS as freeway ETC system in Taiwan.
According to this system, the study schemes a transition program from traditional manual operation to distance-based ETC system. The program emphasizes to avoid disturbance for drivers, and transform zonal rate system into distance-based rate system gradually to promote equity. For each stage of the transition program, this study suggests the optimization of front-end reinforcement system deployment and penalty for the system operator to earn the most profit.
