“…As opposed to conventional road charging schemes, the LCC scheme does not involve any toll booths or barriers, and no physical tickets or passes are required [1]. Instead, the system used is video-based, and relies on the accurate reading of license plates as the primary means of identifying, charging and enforcing vehicles in a congestion charging scheme [5].…”

“…To this end, a primary research approach has been adopted, such that existing reviews on the vision of urban road charging in the next decades (such as [5]- [7]) have been complemented by telephone interviews with a panel of four experts on urban road charging and ITS. Compiling the answers and views of the experts, along with arguments from the literature and the authors' own views, an overall insight into the future of urban road charging and the LCC scheme is given.…”

“…The previous decades were characterized by a considerable increase in car traffic (Blythe, 2005;Gifford & Steg, 2007). Induced by population growth, suburbanization and increase in economic welfare which resulted in higher car ownership levels, car use in the European Union steadily grew by 22% between 1995 and 2010 and was even responsible for 84% of all inland passenger transport in 2010, followed by bus (9%) and rail (7%) (European Environment Agency, 2012).…”

This paper explores the knowledge of the concept 'Light Rail Transit' (LRT) in the context of implementing a Light Rail system in a (sub)-urban region. To this end, three models are estimated: a first model to explore the role of knowledge on modal choice, a second one to identify the determinants of the level of knowledge and a third model to identify the determinants of a cognitive mismatch between actual (real) knowledge and perceived knowledge. The first model (a negative binomial regression model) underlines the significant relation between knowledge of the concept LRT and modal choice. Given the lack of knowledge of the concept 'Light Rail Transit' revealed by the descriptive results, it is of crucial importance to raise the level of knowledge. Knowledge acquisition can be based on transit experiences and information provision. To explore how information campaigns should be constructed and which target groups should be approached, the factors influencing travelers' knowledge and the determinants of a cognitive mismatch are identified by a Multinomial Logit Model (MNL-model) and a Binary Logit Model. The results show that various socio-economic variables as well as socio-psychological variables are significantly influencing actual knowledge and significantly influencing a cognitive mismatch. Among these variables, employment, gender, perception of ticket price of Public Transit (PT) and expectations with regard to seat availability in the LRT-vehicle are the most influential ones.

“…The method of enforcing the charge is in fact the most innovative part of the scheme. It uses a video-based system which relies on accurate reading of license plates as a means of identifying, charging and enforcing vehicles (Blythe, 2005). There are several payment methods for the LCC; Auto Pay (automated payment following an initial online registration), Online, SMS, Phone and Post.…”

The importance of evaluation and optimization of electronic government (e-government) services is imperative if the government organisations are to have an effective impact on the success and take-up of the services offered. Transport For London's (TFL) London Congestion Charging (LCC) is one of the innovative electronic services (e-services) introduced by the United Kingdom (UK) government to the citizens. While some studies have addressed the impact of the introduction of the congestion charge there has been a dearth of research performed to address user (citizen) satisfaction of the online LCC system. Therefore, this research seeks to measure the citizen satisfaction of using the LCC online payment system offered by TFL. The citizen satisfaction in this context is measured using the four dimensions from the COBRA framework that comprise the cost, opportunity, benefits and risk assessment constructs. This paper presents the findings of a survey of 500 users of the TFL LCC online payment system. It also reports the qualitative feedback obtained from the participants that can be used to determine the areas that need further improvement in the current LCC e-service and potential influences on user satisfaction.
