Performance evaluation of an RFID-based vehicle-miles-travelled revenue collection system

摘要: In 2001, Oregon State University (OSU) in collaboration with the Department of Transportation and Road User Fee Task Force (RUFTF) began investigating a Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT)-based alternative to fuel tax. The culminating phase this five year effort is execution pilot test involving approximately 280 volunteer drivers. A specific VMT-based technology, referred as Pilot Test Technology Configuration (PTTC) will be used test. This paper discusses lessons learned design development PTTC, especially challenges faced use RFID technology identify collect VMT data from equipped vehicles.
