NORITS - NORdic Interoperability for Tolling Systems

NORITS aims to implement interoperability between EFC systems in the Nordic region with the goal:

One OBU – one Contract – one invoice The main objective: Implement full scale interoperability between existing and future payment systems for tolling (EFC) in the Nordic Region.

First:Interoperability between Great belt, Oeresund, Svinesund and Norwegian AutoPASS installations and if possible, also hopefully soon the Stockholm Ring.


AutoPASS in Norway

24 Tolling systems (companies)

182 equipped EFC lanes


The Great Belt Bridge - Denmark

6 EFC lanes330 M€ per year


The Oeresund Bridge - Sweden

8 EFC lanes


The Svinesund Bridge – Norway/Sweden

6 EFC lanes


Contract Structure

1. The NORITS Joint Venture Agreement. The operators taking part in NORITS signs an agreement which states the conditions of the co-operation.

2. The NORITS Issuer Agreement. All companies issuing payment means accepted by NORITS operators, must sign the issuer agreement with the NORITS operators.

3. A common set of customer conditions. New paragraphs must be added in the issuer’s contract with the individual customer describing the conditions under which the customer can use his OBU as payment means in NORITS facilities.

4. Annexes to the contract documents will be based upon the project deliverables.

All contracts ready for signing.


Implementation

• Original time plan is delayed• Pilot period with real users from 15 October 06• Full scale operation will start in February 2007• NORITS will be marketed properly before the

complete service will be offered• Existing customers will automatically be included in

NORITS but will have full reservation rights• Ferry and parking will be included in the service

during 2007


• A full scale implementation project for cross-border interoperability

• NORITS supports evolution of EETS interoperability:National Regional European

• Based on CESARE II and input to CESARE III by direct participation

• Results valuable to Comité Télépéage as input to the EETS

• NORITS partners carry their own costs• Interoperability is not (primarely) a technical matter
