Are placed at key points
- f the road network (junctions)
Provide for unlimited
scalability of the system (junction → block → district → city → county → ...)
Immediately affect the current road situation by tailoring
traffic lights in adaptive mode
Accumulate, process, store and share traffic data for
futher use

Proposed effects
- Economic
minimized driving costs and time losses
- Social
lower emotional and psychological pressure on drivers increased people's mobility
- Political
improved image of local authorities
- Ecological
drop in carbon and other harmful emissions decreased fuel consumption

Control over Road Usage
Getting road usage under control allows to do the following:
optimize traffic by utilising multiple vehicle detectors and speed readers to collect statistical data encourage drivers to use their vehicles rationally in order to relieve the roads increase road capacity by preventing gridlocks and traffic jams promote widespread use of public transport make road usage more enabling by providing additional services

Control over Road Usage — Examples 1/2
Different lanes may incur different driving costs depending on the traffic situation, or e.g. time of the day/day of the week. Driving costs are not set and are calculated automatically each time based on actual traffic intensity: the more there are vehicles
- n the road, the higher the cost.
1 (green) - Low driving cost 2 (yellow) - Medium driving cost 3 (red) - High driving cost A - Public transport only, extra high driving cost for personal vehicles

Thus, bypasses and out-of-the- city freeways or belt highways will be cheaper than downtown avenues, especially for transit transport.
Control over Road Usage — Examples 2/2
The driving cost system may also be used to reroute traffic in
- rder to relieve central roads and small streets.

Conclusions
UTP ElecTraCop is a single solution for ITS-related issues, which can be easilty expanded on greater areas, ultimately, a country Its multifunctional approach allows it to replace the majority
- f existing separate ITS solutions
Innovative use of RFID provides for 100% precise vehicle detection and identification All functions are fully automated — no human involvement needed The bulk of the system is installed under the road surface, which keeps it safe and does not distort the architectural
