Interested in learning how to enhance your road charging revenue and infrastructure?
Best Value For Technology Investment
With increasing demands on road infrastructure and dwindling fuel taxes from fuel-efficient vehicles (electric and hybrid vehicles), governments are now investing in road charging programs. The challenge has always been in creating a sustainable but fair system for collecting revenues and implementing a system quickly and economically, while not adding to traffic congestion during peak periods. As a leader in secure, scalable and compliant road usage charging technology, IMS has established a sustainable, accurate and cost-effective road charging program that offers governments, partners and drivers confidence in exploring alternative revenue opportunities to help fund transportation infrastructure projects.
Reduce Infrastructure Cost and Improve Your Revenue
Our unique, in-vehicle system uses existing cell phone towers and is scalable – it can be used for one to ten roads, or across an entire country, and can set charging parameters based on zones, mileage, peak hours or type of vehicle. Powered by the IMS DriveSync® platform, our solution is fully expandable to include an entire suite of IMS telematics services like traffic information, roadside assistance, vehicle diagnostics and more. And that could mean enhanced revenue to fund your future infrastructure improvements. So investigate the better alternative to road charging, and partner with IMS today.

Telematics Learnings to Enable Road Usage Charging Successes (On-Demand Webinar)
Enabling fair and sustainable transportation funding is important for all road users. Fortunately, many of the challenges toward large-scale road usage charging have also been encountered, and resolved, in parallel applications within the broader mobility and insurance telematics ecosystem.
In this session, learn more about the usage of telematics in other related industries and their relevance in the growth of successful road usage charging deployments:
- What are some of the key learnings from successful applications of telematics, such as in mobility and insurance telematics deployments?
- What are the best practices for data management in other industries?
- How is interoperability and standardization addressed?
- Where do technologies and data collection options fit in the overall solution?
Successful road usage charging policies rely on well thought out systems and data – this session will help prepare you for the future with applied learnings that will ensure the best usage of telematics in RUC deployments.
