Samenvatting
The use of Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) Systems becomes more and more widespread. At the same time, the market for value added Telematics services does not take off. Using ETC systems as a platform for offering value added services will have two positive effects: The use of Telematics services is stimulated, and the overall acceptance of ETC systems can be increased. In this paper the opportunities of using ETC systems as a platform for value added service are explained. An example for a common system set-up of ETC with value added services is given under consideration of an open system architecture to enable an open competition.
