  • The Function of Etc Roadside System for Smart Interchange of Service / Parking Area Connection Type As a Social Experiment
    3138 THE FUNCTION OF ETC ROADSIDE SYSTEM FOR SMART INTERCHANGE OF SERVICE / PARKING AREA CONNECTION TYPE AS A SOCIAL EXPERIMENT Setsuo Hirai (Head) Masuo Kawana (Senior Researcher) Hiroyuki Oouchi (Senior Researcher) Yasuyuki Manabe (Research Engineer) Intelligent Transport Systems Division, National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management Ministry of Land,Infrastructure and Transport, Japan 1 Asahi, Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture 305-0804 Japan Tel (+81)29-864-4496 Fax (+81)29-864-0565 E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], ABSTRACT Smart Interchange, a staff-less and cashless toll collection with dedicated Electronic Toll Collection system (ETC), will reduce the costs of operating tollgates and solve security problem of the gates. Smart Interchange requires only small structures and surface, reducing the construction cost. As well, function of interchange can be added to service / parking areas by connecting such areas with ordinary roads and installing ETC gates at the entrances and exits. It is greatly expected that the Smart Interchange will not only improve the convenience of using expressways and spread ETC further, but also revitalize the economy of regional communities that have currently no interchange, by providing access to expressways. This paper describes the function of the ETC roadside system for Smart Interchange of service / parking area connection type as a social experiment, and reports evaluation results of the system. CURRENT SITUATION OF EXPRESSWAY Today, expressways go through 916 municipalities and have 714 interchanges in Japan. However, there is a great gap with America and European countries in terms of the intervals of interchanges, 363 municipalities, representing approximately 40% of all, do not have access to expressways through interchanges, which have longer intervals, of about 10km, than that of the above countries (free of charge), where intervals are about 4km to 5km on average.

Survey Locations and Hypothetical Question for Willingness-to-pay Survey Figure 4.1.6-1 shows the survey locations where the willingness-to-pay survey was carried-out. Samples collected from each site were treated differently to know car users’ response depending on their location in relation to CLLEX. This process allows us to determine areas where high shift to expressway can be expected and areas where shift cannot be expected. CLLEX can provide congestion-free travel to residents of Tarlac City and Cabanatuan City and neighboring municipalities. For those living in Cabanatuan side, the expressway can be used for their trips to Subic or to Baguio or to Metro Manila.
