PositiveImpact The Dynamic Toll Pricing Model could significantly encourage a shift in travel behavior among commuters, leading to reduced traffic congestion on the A1 motorway. As a result, this may directly lower emissions, improving air quality for both current and future generations. Additionally, it could pave the way for a cultural shift towards more sustainable commuting practices, fostering a long-term reduction in private vehicle usage. Ultimately, this could enhance public health and contribute to sustainability objectives, benefiting the worker class in particular.

NegativeImpact The reliance on dynamic pricing may disproportionately burden low-income workers, who might struggle to adapt to fluctuating costs associated with tolls. If not managed properly, this could lead to increased socio-economic disparity. Furthermore, if drivers opt to avoid tolls through alternative routes, it could exacerbate congestion and pollution in those areas, potentially undermining the overall environmental goals. If the technology fails to function as intended or if public resistance hampers adoption, the expected benefits may not be realized, leaving future generations with greater infrastructural issues without sustainable solutions.
