Increasing Demand for Interoperable Electronic Tolling Systems Drives Europe Electronic Toll Collection System Market

The toll collection systems projects involve a public-private partnership model where government agencies or state bodies usually decide the toll pricing. The objective of toll collection profoundly influences vehicle classification and dynamic pricing for multiple categories of frequent travelers. Thus, effectively restricting the interoperability of toll-collection processes across different states, administrative regions, or provinces within the country. Also, there is an increase in collaborative efforts among different state bodies to participate in joint toll collection systems (accepted by more government agencies) and offer simplified toll collection for different users. This electronic toll collection system operates on a pre-paid account-based system, which various state agencies adopt for a seamless array of freight fees, tolls, and fines across the region. For instance, in July 2023, the Avanci aftermarket and electronic toll collection leader Axxès inked a license agreement. Axxès, the licensee, will gain efficient and transparent access to patented wireless technology that will enable innovation in Europe's interoperable toll collection market.

The data generated via electronic toll collection transponders and RFID tags can provide meaningful insights into the traffic patterns and congestion at various expressways and highways. Also, those insights can be used for improving congestion, traffic management, and other intelligent transportation services. An exhaustive interoperable toll collection system has applications across parking fee payments at airports, malls, bus stations, and intelligent transportation services, among other innovative services. Thus, the demand for interoperable and robust electronic toll collection by the government, as well as state agencies, is fueling the demand for electronic toll collection systems.

Europe Electronic Toll Collection System Market Overview

The federal government has announced its plans to invest US$ 147.6 billion in Germany's roads between 2016 and 2030 as part of the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan (FTIP). Nearly US$ 74.4 billion will be used for infrastructure replacement and structural maintenance. Germany's road network dropped to 16th in the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Report, indicating that it needs considerable upgrading. Germany's transportation network will receive investments totaling US$ 299.6 billion 2016 and 2030 to upgrade and connect transportation network. Thus, the growth in road infrastructure drives the electronic toll collection system market.
