Description:

The European Electronic Toll Service was created in 2004 with the aim of ensuring interoperability among the existing electronic toll collection systems in Europe. However, a lack of cooperation among stakeholders groups (European Union, national administrations and users) has not made possible to achieve this goal ten years later. 

This Master´s Thesis develops a literature review of the six main electronic toll systems available worldwide, and provides some insight on different emerging technologies. By focusing on different operational and strategic aspects offered by each technology, the research identifies their main strengths and weaknesses. This study enables to obtain SWOT and comparative analysis. Finally,  different recommendations are made to improve the current framework. 

The study concludes that given the diversity of advantages and inconveniences offered by each system, the selection of a certain ETC technology should also take into account its potential to overcome the weaknesses in the current ETC framework. In this line, different policy recommendations are also proposed aimed at improving the present ETC strategy at the European level.
