3 Some of the objectives of highway traffic control solutions Safety: Warning of foggy areas Warning of traffic congestion Warning of wet and icing road surface Lane closures in case of incidents or road work Capacity: Increasing the capacity of freeways through harmonizing of speed Environment: Reduction of pollution due to less traffic jams Page 3

4 Significant accident reduction on Germans A9 through intelligent traffic control systems Statistics show: reduced number of accidents by 35% reduced number of injuries by 31% less follow on accidents less traffic jams better synchronized traffic and more capacity during peak hours Accident statistics from highway authority of South Bavaria Statistics show: 40% fewer accidents 20% fewer hours of traffic jam Greater capacity on road Direct information for drivers Accident statistics from ASFiNAG, Austria Page 4

10 Types of road pricing Flat fee Fee is always the same Fee is constant over time Examples: Fee for the use of highways, e.g. Austria, Switzerland, Italy Bridges Tunnel Mountain pass Time related fixed fee Fee depends on day and/or time Fee changes over time Example: London congestion charge Dynamic fee Fee depends on current traffic situation and on the specific benefit for the road user Example: Fastlane Tel Aviv Page 10

11 Dynamic road pricing allows shorter travel time Page 11
