The challenging topic of tolling collection will be a priority theme at the 2013 National Electronic Tolling Committee Industry Forum (NeTC) to be held 22 and 23 May at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre in Queensland, Australia.

The forum will also feature a strong focus on government-industry policy development to facilitate systems deployment to maximise safety, economic, environmental and social benefits to transport in Australia and the Asia Pacific region.

"The comprehensive forum program will introduce technology updates and explore major Australian and international systems applications in a series of case studies," said organising committee member Peter Bentley. "While Australia is a leading innovator in the tolling sector of the intelligent transport systems industry, there are also many effective tolling systems deployed in the Asia Pacific region.

"This year's Forum agenda has been deliberately expanded to encompass Asia Pacific nations to capture and share their experiences and technical developments. Our aim has been to make the NeTC Industry Forum a tolling information hub for the region. We look forward to learning about projects in countries such as Beijing, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, as well as France, Sweden, the USA and review major toll road projects across Australia," he said.

Headline topics covered at the forum will include: new major toll road projects; emerging tolling technologies; new Australian and international tolling case studies; revenue collection; road pricing; the Asia-Pacific experience and connected vehicles.

    Richard Turnock, chief technology officer of Kapsch TrafficCom North America explains what advantages its newly-opened TDM protocol can offer as a US-wide standard for tolling interoperability. The electronic tolling industry across the United States is evolving. Historically it was characterised by clusters of interoperability where a motorist may be able to use the same transponder across a large area, such as the 15-State E-ZPass system, or be confined to a single State system. Now, however, the industry

    In Sweden, marketing company DDB Stockholm employed a mock speed camera as part of a promotional campaign for automotive manufacturer Volkswagen. The result was worldwide online interest and promotion of the debate over excessive speed to the national level. A developing trend in traffic management policy is to look at how to induce road users to modify their behaviour by incentivising change rather than forcing it through the application of penalties. There have been several studies conducted into this; an
