">This paper provides examples of architectures suited for both interoperability in tolling and ways to achieve the aims of EU Directive 2004/52.
It does so by making recommendations based on analysing various implementations of what is called the 'basic architecture scheme'. It aims at a situation in which toll systems can evolve and in which new tariff schemes can be introduced as required by the subsidiarity principle.
The architectures presented in this paper are based on the organisational model as defined in the European CESARE III project and as also presented in "An example of a view on interoperability in tolling and on achieving the aims of Directive 2004/52"
Enforcement and the distribution of toll scheme data are included as well. Payment, however, is not included. Interoperability in tolling is based on post-payment from central accounts . As payments from central accounts can be accomplished by regular bank transfers this does not need any further attention in this paper.
The paper at hand reflects the then current state of discourse in the Netherlands. It is a technical paper that does not deal with any Dutch policy preferences but provides a generic presentation of the subject.
