Abstract
This paper discusses a telecommunications-centered solution for charging road use for lorries. The implementation option for collecting fees on highway roads is based on an innovative method. Instead of physical toll collection with enforcement stations on many segments, a 'virtual toll collection booth' is possible. The mobile network can be used to identify traveled distances. Backgrounds of the Dutch situation are provided. What roads will be charged? Which interaction is needed? The business model with the process of installing units, the way of collecting data, rating, billing and payment are described. Specific attention is given to the context of interoperability.
