The Intelligent Transport Systems UK (ITS UK) event on September 10, 2024 will look back and reflect on the 60 years since the publication of the Smeed Report, a study of alternative methods of road user charging commissioned by the UK government between 1962 and 1964, focusing on some of the major changes in policy and practice as well as technological advances and changing public perceptions around road pricing. Contributors from academia, industry and local government looked at what the future might hold for a national road pricing scheme.

Tim Wray, UK & Ireland Sales Director, Kapsch TrafficCom, will  present in the session at 2:30 p.m. the "Advances in technology: International Experience" and speak at 4:15 p.m. in the "Panel: A national road pricing scheme – Where do we go from here?"

 

Our experts will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Don't miss the opportunity to speak with them.

ITS UK Road User Charging Forum 2024registration is open now

The Kapsch TrafficCom Road User Charging solution efficiently addresses road tax deficits due to the rise of hybrid, electric, and high-efficiency vehicles. It offers configurable pricing based on factors like time, location, vehicle type, size, and emissions class. 

As the number of electric vehicles on the world’s roads continues to increase exponentially, governments around the world are looking for ways to replace falling revenues from fuel taxes. Road user charging – which considers the type of vehicle and distance driven – seems a good alternative, but public acceptance of such schemes depends on how they are delivered and how much tangible value they can deliver to road users, says Justin Hamilton, Director Location Based Charging, Kapsch TrafficCom in his blog article "How authorities can accelerate public acceptance and adoption for Road User Charging".
