Delivering Outcomes not Technology
Infrastructure Development • Motorway Development Pre 2000: Under-developed Network Not as bad as the image shows but Mix of Single and Dual Carriageways Limited town by-passes Long journey times
Infrastructure Development • Motorway Development Major Investment Programme Implemented PPPs played a Key Role PPP Model evolved from 2003 to 2010 Ten toll roads on the National network and one on the local network
Infrastructure Development • Ireland now has a Modern Motorway Network • Connects all Major Cities • Provides Safer Surer Journeys for Motorists • Classic Case of Tolling to Fund Infrastructure
Electronic Toll Collection • History
2000 – Introduction of ETC on Westlink and Eastlink; 2003–2010 - New motorway network with toll roads; 2005 - Introduction of national ETC interoperability; 2008 - Introduction of multi-lane free flow on M50; 2008 - Introduction of National ‘EETS’ (Tag) Providers; 2010–2012 - Preparation for EETS Interoperability.
• Interoperable CEN 5.8 DSRC across all Toll Plazas
• Classic Case of ETC Evolution
Electronic Toll Collection • PPP Toll Plazas
Uniform Design; Mix of Manual, ACM and ETC Express lanes ETC in all Lanes Unique ETC Express Lane / Reject Lane Configuration;
Tolling Interoperability • National Interoperability Since 2005 NRA established Information Exchange Agent Hub to Facilitate Transactional Data Exchange Financial Settlement is Directly between Chargers and Providers
• Toll Chargers: Ten toll roads on National network and one on local network
• Service Providers: Toll Chargers Issue Tags Two Independent Service Providers
Tolling Interoperability • Approx. 400,000 Vehicles equipped with OBUs • ETC transactions account for approx. 50% of all tolling transactions across the network • IEA processed €90M interoperable tolling transactions in 2011
Tolling Interoperability • IMSP Procurement Interoperability Management Services Provider New Service Contract to deliver Next Generation services Will facilitate EETS and Regional ETS (ISO 12855 Compliance).
Tolling Interoperability • EETS Implementation Leveraging on existing Interoperability Model Analysing Roadside Upgrade Requirements Use of OBU White Lists is Biggest Concern
Necessary for validation purposes Too large for normal lane controllers / LAN Embedded in Toll system Processes Possibility of keeping White Lists in Back Office
EU Pilot EETS Corridors
M50 Tolling and ITS • M50: Upgrade to ORT in 2008 • Combined with major infrastructural improvements Increased number of lanes Re-engineering of on / off ramps
• Classic Case of using Tolling to Fund Infrastructure Improvements
M50 Tolling and ITS • M50: Upgrade to ORT in 2008 • Upgrade Replaced “Ireland’s Largest Car Park”
M50 Tolling and ITS • With Modern Open Road Tolling System First EU ORT system (for all vehicle types); Cross-Border MOU in place to pursue violators; Payment by pre-registered tag or video toll account; Video Toll Payment by unregistered drivers by 8pm on following day; Challenge is to increase Tag penetration and reduce unregistered video tolling;
M50 Tolling and ITS • eFlow Operational Snapshot
Traffic volumes ~ 108,000 AADT; (peak ~ 139,500) Traffic mix - Registered 82% v Unregistered 18%; 1.2 million unique unregistered customers in 2011; Contact levels – approx. 120,000 per week; 39.5 million transactions = 6 million contacts; 75,000 agent calls per month key driver of cost;
Fulfilment Metrics; Circa 600,000 vehicles registered, 25% of all vehicles in ROI; Circa 5 million pieces of correspondence posted per annum;
Total Collections 2011 – €122 million;

M50 Phased ITS Implementation • Infrastructure provided for: – – – – – – – – – –

M50 Phased ITS Implementation • Phased ITS Roll-Out
Emergency Roadside Telephones VMS (traveller information) Fibre Optic Network Incident Detection ANPR
M50 Phased ITS Implementation • The obvious next step: Open Road Tolling COMBINED with Managed Motorway will provide an Effective Demand Management Toolkit Depends on Decision of Policy Makers
Dublin Port Tunnel • DPT: 5km Urban Twin-Bore Tunnel • Incorporates Significant ITS Control Centre, Incident detection, etc
• Variable Price Tolling HGVs – Free Cars - €3 off-peak, €10 peak
• Diverts HGVs from City
Delivering Outcomes • HGV Strategy introduced in 2007 following completion of DPT and M50 projects • HGV Management Strategy Commenced 2007 To encourage maximum use of the Port Tunnel by port-related traffic and to enhance the city centre environment.
Ban on 5+ axle vehicles during the hours of 7am and 7pm. Limited permit scheme for HGVs that need to load/unload within the city centre area.
Delivering Outcomes • Dramatic Results City HGV numbers down from 5,000 per day to under 500 Very large Reduction in accidents. Large Increase in Cycling in City Centre
• Dublin has the Safest Roads of any Capital City in Europe (European Transport Safety Council report 2011). HGV City Cordon is a major contributing factor.
• ITS and Tolling underpins Entire Strategy.
Summary • Focus on Coordinated Planning Phased policy of infrastructure delivery combined with Innovative ITS and Tolling Deployments Has Delivered Improved Safety, Reduced congestion and Better Mobility for All Users
• ITS is about Delivering Outcomes, Not Implementing Technology
• Real Solutions for Real Needs
