PositiveImpact The implementation of the Dynamic Toll Pricing model encourages more efficient use of existing infrastructure, promoting a long-term shift in commuting behavior. As congestion decreases, the strain on the A1 motorway will lessen, resulting in reduced wear and tear on infrastructure, which could lead to lower maintenance costs over time. Moreover, the data gathered through this model might be utilized for future traffic management strategies, potentially reducing the need for costly expansions and generating savings in operational maintenance.

NegativeImpact While dynamic toll pricing may reduce congestion in the short term, it risks further entrenching socio-economic disparities by making travel more expensive for lower-income workers who may not have flexible working hours. If not managed effectively, it could lead to increased traffic on secondary roads as drivers seek to avoid tolls. Additionally, reliance on technology may require ongoing maintenance and investments that could drain public resources, offsetting any savings in infrastructure maintenance. Lastly, if the toll rates are not well-calibrated, they may deter necessary traffic, harming local businesses reliant on footfall.
