Abstract

This article presents selected issues concerning functional structure of the National Automatic Toll Collection System. The system includes the following elements: two on-board intelligent devices - OBU, two control gates, laboratory model of a National Centre for Automatic Toll Collection (NATCS). Poland and other EU member states should implement the European Electronic Tolling Service - EETS in accordance with the European Commission's decision of 6 October 2009. EETS should be available within three years (2012) for all vehicles over 3.5 tonnes and vehicles carrying more than 9 persons including the driver. This service will be available for other vehicles within five years (2014). Motor Transport Institute has created the structure of NATCS, as a hybrid pilot project to be used in researches on the implementation of the interoperable system in EU. The tests results will be presented in the article - part 2.
