Abstract: The expressway toll violation and non-payment has been increasing with the wide use of highpass system. Thus, the present study analyzed the data published in 2015 to characterize the toll non-payment trend associated with the highpass system. The sample analyzed here included the vehicles that used expressways without paying tolls in 2015. The 7,755,042 vehicles failed to pay tolls in 2015. For the analysis, Excel and statistics S/W package SPSS 19 were used. This finding suggests that the toll nonpayment is attributable to communication errors between devices from different manufacturers, traffic volumes and vehicle types. To adopt the smart tolling system, a nonstop multi-lane free-flow ETCS where vehicles fitted with highpass terminals pay tolls automatically as they do now while those without such terminals have their license plates recognized by some video devices for automatic tolling, the information collected by the existing highpass lane controllers need be specified further, so that, devices causing problems can be determined with ease. In addition, some remote-control features need be employed for an efficient maintenance approach.
