N2  - Because traditional toll collection cannot be used as a congestion pricing method on federally aided roads, another equtable method needs to be found. Three types of automatic vehicle identification presently available-optical systems, radio frequency systems, and microwave systems-are discussed. Field test results of radio frequency equipment are given for a study done by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in 1971. The accuracy of the technology tested shows that it will be possible to charge people for road use in close proportion to their actual use. An automatic vehicle identificaton system can achieve greater fairness in allocating road use charges than other means existing today.<p />
