1 UNION FOR THE MEDITERRANEAN GTMO -CETMO 06 May 2014 The experience of VINCI Autoroutes Distance tolling and Interoperability Nicolas DEVILLER

2 The experience of VINCI Autoroutes in France : Distance tolling and Interoperability 1- VINCI Autoroutes, Europe s leading Motorway Operator 2- Development of Interoperability on the French Network 3- ASF BIDEGUI : a transnational experience of interoperability VINCI Autoroutes May

3 1 - VINCI, the world leader in contracting and concessions 2013 KEY FIGURES 190,704 employees Over 100 countries 2,500 subsidiaries 40.3 b revenue 266,000 projects VINCI Autoroutes May

6 2. Development of Interoperability on the French Network 1955 : The story starts French law of 18 April French government authorized to grant concessions to build and operate motorway infrastructures Five state-owned companies established in 1956 Escota ASF SAPRR SAPN SANEF 48.5 km 5 public companies VINCI Autoroutes May

7 2. Development of Interoperability on the French Network : The first 1,000 km under public management Concessionaires are only financing public bodies 1970 Construction of new sections remains done by public servants of the Ministry 1970 : completion of the link between Paris and Marseille : the network is 1,059 km long No connection between operators 1,059 km 5 public companies VINCI Autoroutes May

8 2. Development of Interoperability on the French Network : The first attempt to privatize the system Creation of 4 private 1980 Concession Companies Cofiroute AREA APEL ACOBA First inter-companies conventions for connected networks: Interoperability of entry tickets Redistribution of collected toll 4,700 km 5 public companies 4 private companies VINCI Autoroutes May

9 2. Development of Interoperability on the French Network 2000 : the second reform of the public system European tender procedure for all new concessions 2000 New single companies for each new single concession 6 new Launch of Interoperable Toll Collection between Operators 7,365 km 5 public companies 7 private companies VINCI Autoroutes May

10 2. Development of Interoperability on the French Network The French network under concession today 9,048 km Total of conceded network on a total of around 11,000km of national motorways 19 Concession Companies Annual transactions : 1.39 billion Mainly closed tolling system multilateral contracts between concessionnaires: June 2009 convention between 6 concessionaires (ASF, COFIROUTE, ARCOUR, APRR, SANEF, ATMB) VINCI Autoroutes May

11 2. Development of Interoperability on the French Network Tolling systems evolved towards distance tolling- closed tolling system Advantages Cheaper infrastructure Less toll plazas Fixed fares Drawbacks Less fair Can provide possibility for escaping toll Less toll collection 1 Toll Plaza every 20-30km (poor service) Open system Fairer toll collection related to journey Better service (less queues at TP) Set for the long term (if traffic increases) Good toll collection rate Expensive infrastructure even for low-traffic interchanges More road-side equipment More complex calculation of fares Need for section plazas at ends of network anyway Closed system Interchange Toll plaza VINCI Autoroutes May

12 2. Development of Interoperability on the French Network Means of payments evolved towards electronic payment Beginning of the 90s: Client receives an invoice from each road operator (even if using a single compatible magnetic card) Introduction of electronic fee collection systems on all networks : each operator installs its own DSRC based system No international standard thus proprietary and incompatible systems Operators participated in the financing of new products in line with draft standards VINCI Autoroutes May

13 2. Development of Interoperability on the French Network Chronology of the implementation of the interoperability for LVs Decision to start the project Launch of tenders for the selection of 2 system providers of interoperable roadside systems Signature of a MOU between operators Choice of the transponder to be used on the national network Choice of roadside equipment Qualification of equipment Pre-Operation testing Launch of the interoperable transponders for LVs on the national network VINCI Autoroutes May

14 2. Development of Interoperability on the French Network Main commitmentsof the MOU signedin 1996 Since 30 june2000, all Toll plazas are accepting Liber-t as a payment mean for Light Vehicles 1 identical national contract is proposed by all operators The national contract is Post Payment only, by direct debit 1 contract per client 1 invoice is sent to the client every month Implementation and Operation of the service is done by the signatories themselves with no outside intervention Liber-t is compliant with europeanstandards in order to enable future development towards european interoperability and to ensure multi-sourcing for DSRC Each operator accept on its network clients who have subscribed with another company The company the client signed the contract with is responsible for the collection of the toll and the distribution to all operators involved in the service provided. It bears the risk for payment failure. VINCI Autoroutes May

15 2. Development of Interoperability on the French Network Interoperabilityenablingthe intertwiningof networks Network A Network B Traveling from point 1 to point 3 for 2 to 3 for 1 to 3 Transaction data Invoice Operator A 3 Operator B Client Network A Network B 2 1 Border between two operators Less toll plazas needed since the operator no longer requires to know where the client has exited its network up to 6 intertwined networks representing 150 Toll Plazas and 3,000 Km (approx) of highway network VINCI Autoroutes May

16 The experience of VINCI Autoroutes in France : Distance tolling and Interoperability 1- VINCI Autoroutes, Europe s leading Motorway Operator 2- Development of Interoperability on the French Network 3- ASF BIDEGUI : a transnational experience of interoperability VINCI Autoroutes May

17 3. ASF BIDEGUI : a transnational experience of interoperability The Need : Common traffic congestions at the border Common wish to improve service to the client A shared will to work together Substantial regional cross-border traffic VINCI Autoroutes May

18 3. ASF BIDEGUI : a transnational experience of interoperability Implementation process : Cooperation protocol signed at the end of 2005 covering : Coordinated traffic management Improvement of border crossing between France and Spain Development of a common local Electronic Toll Collection 2006 : Design phase on both sides of the border Administrative and technical feasibility studies Design phases 2007 : Testing and commisionning In lane real tests Implementation of road markings Signature of the convention between ASF and BIDEGUI Go live on the 1 st March 2007 VINCI Autoroutes May

19 3. ASF BIDEGUI : a transnational experience of interoperability The Results : More fluid transit through toll plazas, Less queues at the Toll Plazas, Less gas emissions Clients from both company greatly satisfied Very few complaints from clients Technical procedures, invoicing and clearing mechanisms functioning well VINCI Autoroutes May

20 INTEROPERABILITY : CONCLUSION A NEED AND USEFULNESS A WILL (incl. political), A TRIGGERING EVENT TIME BARCELONA VINCI Autoroutes May
