ITS Roadway Payment Equipment --> Payment Administration Center:
road pricing equipment fault
Definitions
road pricing equipment fault (Information Flow): Provides fault status of the road pricing data collection equipment in a vehicle and vehicle image and other characteristics to allow independent identification of the vehicle and its owner.
ITS Roadway Payment Equipment (Source Physical Object): 'ITS Roadway Payment Equipment' represents the roadway components of a toll collection system. It provides the capability for vehicle operators to pay tolls without stopping their vehicles. It supports use of locally determined pricing structures and includes the capability to implement various variable pricing policies. Typically, transactions are accompanied by feedback to the customer and a record of the transactions is provided to a back office system (e.g., the Payment Administration Center).
Payment Administration Center (Destination Physical Object): The 'Payment Administration Center' provides general payment administration capabilities and supports the electronic transfer of funds from the customer to the transportation system operator or other service provider. Charges can be recorded for tolls, vehicle-mileage charging, congestion charging, or other goods and services. It supports traveler enrollment and collection of both pre-payment and post-payment transportation fees in coordination with the financial infrastructure supporting electronic payment transactions. The system may establish and administer escrow accounts depending on the clearinghouse scheme and the type of payments involved. It may post a transaction to the customer account, generate a bill (for post-payment accounts), debit an escrow account, or interface to a financial infrastructure to debit a customer designated account. It supports communications with the ITS Roadway Payment Equipment to support fee collection operations. As an alternative, a wide-area wireless interface can be used to communicate directly with vehicle equipment. It also sets and administers the pricing structures and may implement road pricing policies in coordination with the Traffic Management Center.

Interoperability | Description |
---|---|
Local | In cases where an interface is normally encapsulated by a single stakeholder, interoperability is still desirable, but the motive is vendor independence and the efficiencies and choices that an open standards-based interface provides. |

Basis | Contains PII identifying the vehicle; exposure of this information would facilitate vehicle tracking and other identity-based surveillance. | If incorrect or changed, could lead to inappropriate maintenance activity, which has a significant cost in itself and contributes negatively to system operational status. Scope is small, but impact significant if this occurs with many instances. | Linked only to payment-related activities; if this flow does not function, the vehicle still has mechanisms for payment and repair of malfunctioning equipment. While the vehicle-based flow is LOW, the RSE-based flow is MODERATE because the RSE is a single point where many of these flows terminate. If this flow fails, it affects many more vehicles. |
