SESSION 1
GNSS / GPS Tolling — A Global State of Practice
In this opening session, we will learn how GNSS / GPS technologies work, review different methods and device types used to apply this technology to tolling as well as discover a global overview for how and where GNSS tolling is operating today.

SESSION 2
Distance-Based User Fee Collection in Europe
The most advanced production use of GNSS for tolling is in the European geography. GNSS is used there prominently for Heavy-Goods Vehicle (HGV) toll charging; meanwhile, new applications, e.g., for Low Emission Zones and beyond, are being tested and considered as well.

SESSION 3
Panel Discussion: GPS Tolling Concepts and Pilots in the U.S. — A Toll Agency View
Innovative U.S. toll agencies have realized that GPS could be useful to augment current toll systems and potentially make operations more efficient. In the future, GPS could become a predominant vehicle detection method. In this panel, we'll discuss GPS Tolling trials done to-date as well as perspectives for having this technology become significantly impactful in the U.S. tolling industry.

GPS Tolling Concepts and Pilots in the U.S. — A Third-Party Provider (3PP) View
Reflecting on European established progress with HGV's GNSS-based tolling, fleet management Third-Party Providers (3PPs) in the U.S. have the potential to become early-adopters of location-based capabilities. In this session, we'll hear from two leading 3PPs on their trials and capacities to utilize embedded vehicle GPS data.

Keynote Speaker
In the keynote, we'll review the underlying basics of GNSS technology, along with its challenges: spoofing, denial, jamming. Alternative remedies exist, e.g., using complementary positioning navigation and timing. However, there are some specific concerns for the U.S. tolling industry that warrant consideration, including RFID spectrum interference.
