Abstract :
This paper presents a model for assessing the impact of introducing nationwide road charging systems on supporting mobile data networks. It defines a model based on real traffic measurements, and establishes appropriate parameter values for capturing specific application characteristics such as the importance of data compression, truck-only versus all traffic charging, and dimensioning margins for handling peak days. Finally, this paper applies the developed model and defined parameter values to a Belgian case study.
