Toll Migration Study
The European Commission has the intention to utilise the specific technical abilities of satellite-based (also called GNSS-based) toll systems in the mid to long term. For the majority of existing electronic toll systems in the European Union, this would mean somehow migrating from currently used DSRC-based to satellite-based toll systems.
In December 2008, the Rapp-TRIT grouping was awarded the contract for a study on possible migration to toll systems using satellite positioning and mobile communications technologies by systems using other technologies (GNSS Migration Study).
The study focuses on the technical, organisational and financial suitability of satellite-based toll systems, the technical possibilities and challenges of migration, potential costs and benefits of migration, barriers and drivers, key risks, and success factors for migration.

National Transport Commission (Australia)
Rapp Trans worked in partnership with the National Transport Commission (NTC) to advise the Australian government on improving the arrangements for heavy vehicle road use pricing. The study highlighted the problems facing the current system, identified the government's objectives and provided possible directions and options for future development.
The implementation plan developed by Rapp Trans is now being taken forward by the Australian Government.

Swiss Mobility Pricing
Transport Financing Models was one of the key issues of the research strategy 2004 - 2007 of the committee for road research of the Swiss Federal Ministry of Transport. The research programme on Mobility Pricing, which included 9 individual research projects, examined all aspects of charging for the use of transport infrastructure and services. It produced findings about the instruments and mechanisms for the overlapping domains of transport financing and traffic management and it answered the questions about the consequences of moving the financing of transport away from general taxes and making it more use related.
Rapp Trans staff were responsible for the Directorship of the Research programme and wrote the synthesis report on which the road map, of the Swiss Transport Ministry, for mobility pricing and road user charging is based.
