An Analysis, Application and Evaluation of User-ID Based Automatic Toll Collection Systems for Transportation Services

摘要

For the purpose of an automatic toll collection system for transportation services, a user-ID based system, which has some valuable merits compared with existing systems, is proposed. A model to formulate the movement of users (passengers/vehicles) along a transportaion network is proposed. In order to realize such a system efficiently especially to reduce processing time at exit nodes, a method of data replication and a method of data re-allocation of data over a transportation network according to related entity in distributed communication systems are introduced. An analysis, application and evaluation of those methods are shown.
