The most important notice of this month is that the Holland government wants to establish a compulsory Road Pricing System in all the territory in the year 2016. We must take into account that a project like this one presents big similarities with the “Pay as you drive” one and that Holland is the origin of most of the world leader telematic enterprises.
The Austrian publication Oekonews stress the relation between Road Pricing and the emission of greenhouse gases.
It continues an intensive activity in France due to this project. E-bonus has been the last one in submit its proposals. Its particularity is that it processes the information in the own vehicle to avoid that a very detailed information could infringe the law.
It has also been a notice that the MileMeter project has been in second place in the Amazon Web Services Start-up Challenge and the submission of an alternative in England to the project “Pay as you drive” by Amicus VMS focused to vehicle operators. It avoids any mention to the automobile insurance, and therefore the possible patent EP 0700009 and having to face Norwich Union.
But in my opinion the most important notice was the article of Ian Cowle in where he stress the possible human lives that the project “Pay as you drive” of Norwich could have saved during the year 2007. This has been a very annoying point for me the low repercussion that this aspect has taken in the project.
If somebody wants that their address is erased of my distribution list, please return me this message with the word “DELETE.”
As always, I have upgraded my “Pay As You Drive Directory ” and my News Bulletin.
Yours sincerelly
Interim Management.
