U10-T Onboard Unit

Among a range of products being highlighted by Spain-headquartered 55 GMV, a global technology company with a high level of specialisation in ITS for transport and mobility, will be the U10-T Onboard Unit, a reliable OBU designed according to European Standards to provide all on-board functionalities required for GNSS-based Electronic Fee Collection.

U10-T is designed to support both thin and thick architectures and is compatible with EETS. The unit integrates a DSRC module (5.8 GHz) that can be used for enforcement and also as a DSRC tag for tolling, compatible with different European standards.

The OBU unit implements GMV-patented algorithms for ensuring very precise computation charges. It is plug-and-play and easy to install; just by attaching the OBU to the windshield and plugging it into the lighter outlet. It can be installed on a truck/bus but also on private vehicles. The man-machine interface includes a display for visualizing easily understandable information on the OBU functioning and status and simple data input such as the number of axles of a truck.

    EETS: still struggling to become reality
    Erich Erker, Norbert Schindler, Peter Tschulik from Siemens Electronic Tolling examine the barriers to EETS deployment. Tolling in Europe was introduced to pay for the construction and operation of individual tunnels, bridges and highways and has evolved in major steps. The original manual tolling systems were highly disruptive to traffic flow and required the creation of large toll plazas, with multiple lanes and toll booths to ensure an acceptable throughput. With the introduction of Dedicated Short Range

Aworkable European Electronic Toll Service (EETS) which will allow truck drivers to travel across the continent and pay tolls using a single account and OnBoard Unit (OBU) was originally timetabled to be in place and operating by October of this year. A lack of urgency from some of the stakeholders involved in t

    Do satellites provide a heavenly view of tolling’s future?
    Satellite-based tolling opens up new options for authorities and can be integrated with DSRC systems as David Crawford discovers. As the proud custodian of the European Union (EU)’s longest road network covered by a single (truck) charging scheme – and the only one to include all major roads - Slovakia has become the continent’s poster-nation for the virtues of GNSS/CN (Global Navigation Satellite System/Cellular Network)-based tolling. It is also proved to be a very fast implementer. Speaking at the 2014 I
