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 • 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
