Cronology of the toll collection in the Republic of SloveniaCronology of the toll collection in the Republic of Slovenia
• 1970 Start of Motorway construction in Slovenia
• 1970 – 1972 The first constructed Motorway section:
Vrhnika – Postojna, length 32 km,
closed toll system.
• 1970 – 1993 198 km of Motorways were constructed,
partly closed and partly open toll
system.
• 1993 – 2007 374 km of Motorways were constructed,
mixed toll system (closed – open).
• 1996 Start of the electronic toll collection system
without a stop (ABC).
Slovenia has been constructing motorways since 1970.
In 24 years (1970 – 1994), before the beginning of the implementation of the National Motorway Construction Programme, a total of 198 km of four – and two – lane motorways were built.
From 1.1.1994 to 31.12.2006, a total of 370 km of four – and two – lane motorways were built and handed over to traffic.
Since 31st of December 2006 a total of 465 km of four lane motorways and expressways, 3.5 km of two – lane motorway (Karavanke Tunnel) and 130 km of access roads to them are managed by DARS.

Existing tolling systemExisting tolling system
• 26 toll stations, 181 toll lanes
• 4 vehicle classes, measured and declared characteristics
• Payment means: cash, petrol and credit cards, monthly passes, 2 types of DARS contact-less cards, ABC-EFC system
• Pre-payment and post-payment mode for DARS cards and ABC-EFC system
• On sections with open toll system the value of collected toll is 10% lower than on those with closed toll system.
• Only 75% of traffic on motorways and expressways is tolled (due to the open toll collection system, and partly non-tolled network).
• Approx. 150 mio EUR of toll is collected per year.
• 99% of motorway user are tolled (approx. 1% of violators).
Category I (R1): two axled vehicles with a maximum height above the front axle of less than 1.3 m.
Category II (R2): vehicles with two or more axles, 1.3 m or more in height above the front axle, which maximum weight doesn't exceed 3.5 tonnes.
Category III (R3): vehicles with two or three axles, 1.3 m or more in height above the front axle and maximum permitted weight over then 3.5 tonnes.
Category IV (R4): vehicles with three or more axles, 1.3 m or more in height above the front axle and gross weight of more then 3.5 metric tonnes.
Toll classes
Categories:
• EFC system, based on mikrowave link 2,45 GHz• First installation in 1995 (Toll station Torovo)• For personal vehicles (R1) only• 33% of all toll transactions• 41% of R1 transactions• 250.000 OBU in use• 60.000 transactions per day
Extension on heavy vehiclesin preparation
Main characteristics of existing EFC:
Main characteristics of existing EFC (2):
• Fast (35) and combined (72) lanes
• Possibility of vehicle diversion from fast to combined lane
• Reversible central lanes- because of traffic direction changes, especially in the summer

Implementation of EFC free flow system
Guidelines and activities are defined by governmental “Action plan for introduction of EFC in free flow with conditions of interoperability in the European Union.
Final vision:Completely closed system in free traffic flow where user pays on the principle of actually covered kilometers.
Implementation of EFC free flow system with DSRC technology:
•Everything is prepared for upgrading existing ABC system for all vehicles up to the end of year 2007 and later on for implementation of a new EFC free flow system.

SummarySummary
Present situation:
• In Slovenia, toll has been collected since 1972.
• We have a mixture of open and closed toll system, in part of the road network we do not collect toll.
• A lot of foreign vehicles, specific traffic conditions during summer period
• EFC (ABC) is very reliable but it has out of date frequency 2,45 GHz. It’s used only for the first vehicle category (personal cars); It’s not consistent with EU directive.
Future course of system development:
• Gradual transition to EFC in (free flow system) with DSRC technology for all vehicle categories; later on some solutions with satellite tehnology will be added and combined with DSRC system.
• Transition from open to closed system on the whole motorway network.
• Introduction of toll collection system on non-tolled sections.
• Interoperability with neighbouring countries; in the first phase within the MEDIA project (A, I, Fr, SLO, some discussions have been held with Croatia, too).
