CV2X-PC5 Vehicle-Based Tolling Transaction System

Abstract

With an increase in Toll roads in the United States, tolling agencies are looking for ways to simplify the process for themselves and their customers. Cellular Vehicle-to-everything (CV2X-PC5) Tolling offers a new approach to smart tolling system - it provides a significant opportunity to improve the usage of tolling systems for both customers and tolling agencies. Unlike existing tolling systems, the proposed CV2X-PC5 tolling system offers the tolling agencies a more dynamic and reliable tolling and road usage scheme, and the toll user - a transparent real-time information about tolling zones and receipts. In this paper, we present the feasibility test analysis and the various benefits of CV2X-PC5 vehicle based tolling transaction system that could bring great value to the vehicle driver and tolling agency utilizing this wireless communication technology. This paper details the test summaries for two-tolling use-cases: Fixed Rate Tolling and Managed Lane Tolling. Our results show that CV2X-PC5 vehicle based tolling transaction system will be an integral part of a future in connected transportation, by leveraging connected vehicle systems and data we can create better flowing, transparent, smart transaction system and improve the overall customer experience.
