Sažetak
This article describes Highway Electronic Toll Collection (HETC), technologies and interoperability issues, and suggests possible solution to interoperability issues based on multi-agent technology and newly defined HETC ontologies. The RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) technology is used as a foundation for a HETC system user identification. The unique HETC standards are not defined yet so the problem of HETC systems interoperability related to vehicle class definition and user identification is still unresolved issue. The problem of interoperability is emerging from the implementation of different tolling models among different highway operators. There is a need to define the structure of an adaptable system implementing newly defined HETC ontologies that can be used for toll calculation based on different business solutions. The proposed method results in clear specification and realisation of interoperable HETC.
