Analysis of a closed toll system on croatian motorways in relation to open toll systems

Abstract

The subject and goal of this paper is the analysis of the closed toll system in the Republic of Croatia in comparison with open toll systems in member states of the EU. The research was conducted on the basis of historical data collected on the Internet and academic literature that were necessary for a better presentation of the issue.

This paper is a benchmark for determining traffic and revenue from tolls, i.e. a comparison of an open toll system, especially for light vehicles compared to an existing closed toll system. The paper also provides insight into the issue of the introduction of vignettes in Croatia and operation of motorways, taking into account other direct and indirect factors, including the economy, tourism, road safety, GDP, etc.
