Business Model
The details of any road charging program are extensive and can take a considerable amount of time to educate, budget, and plan.
Open communication, third party validation, and data security are paramount to building trust, integrity and credibility with the general public. We understand these challenges and are aligned to deliver on them to the motoring public. DriveSync can help to:
Establish Objective(s)
Clearly define objectives and make it easier to design and implement a road charging program that will achieve the goals of each region or jurisdiction. A lack of clarity can weaken the hand of municipal officials seeking approval from the voting public.
Set Parameters
Define which regions or roads within a city are to be affected by the road charging program. Consider cordon-based schemes that charge for individual trips in and out of a specific area, or area-based schemes that apply charges for simply being within a defined region at any given time.
Manage Cost(s)
Arrange pricing according to the objectives, design or variables of the program. Prices may be fixed on a daily basis, or vary by location, time of day, week, and direction of travel. Furthermore, any exclusion for residential, business, or government vehicles that may be unequally and/or unfairly affected by road charging programs must be clearly defined.
Install & Enforce
Install DriveSync units in any vehicle subject to road charging programs, provide documentation detailing the parameters of the program, and identify any repercussions associated with deviating from the program. In some cases this may mean that legal amendments are required.
Each of these elements can be implemented in a variety of ways to support a number of different objectives. DriveSync can assist in tailoring a program to ensure the transition to a road charging program is simple, seamless, and successful.
