MANAGEMENT OF EFC THROUGH DSRC
INTEROPERABILITY IN THE ALPINE AREA
2 67.007.0 Alpine Interoperability 19.04.23
Introduction: Scope of Project
Define an interoperable
EFC service for: • Austria• France• Italy• Slovenia• Switzerland
Define the required procedures for the service… for heavy vehicles only (> 3.5 tons)… for central account payment
with a view to extend to other countries

4 67.007.0 Alpine Interoperability 19.04.23
Introduction: Scope of Project
Results shall:
directly lead to implementation
be operational for operators
be concise and understandable
be fed into the European process• e.g. Regulatory Committee, Stockholm Group, RCI, CESARE-III
lead to added services to customers
5 67.007.0 Alpine Interoperability 19.04.23
Introduction: Scope of Project
Why only Heavy Vehicles?
The market for international interoperability for light vehicles is too small
The Directive 2004/52/EC of the European Parliament states: “Interoperability for Heavy Vehicles first”
Austria and Switzerland do not have EFC for light vehicles

Issues for Interoperability
Austria: User declaration of No. of axles
France: Several EFC Operators (no cent- ralised organisational structure)
All classes / CARDME in 2006
Italy: Different DSRC technology
Slovenia: Post-pay processes currently under development
CEN DSRC / CARDME in 2006
Switzerland: Tachograph reading to be declared upon entry/exit
User declaration of Trailer Governmental operator / tax

MEDIA Technical Solution
MEDIA can accept technical products (or combinations) that fulfil the MEDIA requirements:
Dual DSRC interface• CEN (CARDME)• Telepass
Mechanism to declare trailer / axles Mechanism to declare distance reading, such as
• Chipcard for LSVA terminal• Keyboard and display on the OBE• Automatic measurement by OBE
Harmonised classification data (incl. license plate) OBE logically bound to vehicle Personalisation interface
14 67.007.0 Alpine Interoperability 19.04.23
MEDIA OBE
MEDIA can accept technical products (or combinations) that fulfil the MEDIA requirements:
Short term (2006)• Existing dual DSRC interface OBU plus LSVA Card
Mid term • MEDIA OBU, dual DSRC interface
with keyboard and display
Long term• EETS OBE (see RCI project)• next generation Swiss OBU• German OBU with Telepass(-interface)• … any product that fulfils the MEDIA requirements
CEN TELEPASS

Contractual Architecture
There is a contractual relationship involving the EFC operators and the Contract Issuers
• Contract Issuer is free in his choice of PSP
The Contract Issuer has to guarantee payment to the EFC operators
Obligations of Contract Issuer and EFC Operator plus rules for the MEDIA EFC Service
Local contract may still be valid, but can also be bound to the MEDIA OBU
