Most of those present agreed that network-based pricing is the most advanced and most equitable system for congestion pricing wherein vehicles are tracked in real-time and users pay for the exact route and the distance that they have travelled. In addition, the operator can adjust the prices on a particular road segment based on real-time traffic conditions which could also help in incident management. Singapore is planning to move to a network-based pricing approach using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology after successfully operating a gantry-based congestion pricing system (called point-based system by LTA) using Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) technology. With network-based pricing, operators can do-away with most road-side infrastructure such as toll booths, gantries, and variable message signs (VMS). | 70
