An innovative electronic toll collection (ETC) solution, the SGMP system based on the service oriented architecture ITSIBus, is presented and discussed. The open Intelligent Transport Systems Interoperability Bus (ITSIBus) aims at establishing a multi-vendor technological infrastructure based on pluggable services implementing specialized functionalities like car identification, classification and enforcement. The ITSIBus is a peer-to-peerservice architecture where discovery and advertisement mechanisms and event registration and subscription are used to establish a community of peerservices running on systems. These services implement specialized toll functionalities and present standard interfaces and contracts. The services run on systems that, beyond the functional services, implement specializedsystem services (core services) like administration, configuration, monitoring and security. The paper also discusses the adoption of a model driven development through a set of Eclipse plug-in tools aiming to facilitate the development of ETC solutions in particular and ITS and services in general.
