T-Systems Road User Services will be showcasing how it is leading the shift to greener roads with advanced satellite-based tolling, on stand B5-B at the ITS European Congress in Seville
The future of road mobility is undergoing a transformation, with GNSS-based tolling at its core. By integrating experience from more than 16 different toll chargers across Europe, T-Systems Road User Services is pioneering solutions that benefit road users, public authorities, and the environment alike.
A sustainable road network
GNSS (global navigation satellite system) tolling is a key enabler of sustainable mobility. Unlike traditional tolling systems, it allows for pay-as-you-drive models that reduce unnecessary congestion and emissions, contributing to cleaner air. Dynamic toll pricing, based on real-time traffic data, optimizes road usage by encouraging off-peak travel, leading to reduced fuel consumption and a more balanced traffic flow.
Reliable tolling solutions
T-Systems Road User Services’ state-of-the-art GNSS tolling platform offers uninterrupted service, maximum uptime, and complete compliance with the standards, as well as the technical and organizational boundary conditions set by the European Electronic Toll Service (EETS). Road users can travel across multiple toll domains, delivering goods from Lisbon to Warsaw via Milan, with a single device, receiving one invoice, eliminating administrative hurdles.
T-Systems Road User Services’ modular tolling platform adapts to various national, regional, and local requirements. Users benefit from multiple payment options, including digital wallets, credit cards, and fuel cards, ensuring a hassle-free experience. Additionally, compliance with EETS interoperability standards allows for seamless cross-border mobility without the need for multiple registrations.

Smarter traffic management
At T-Systems Road User Services we’re shaping the future of sustainable mobility, powered by satellite precision and built on trust. GNSS tolling uses global satellite systems like GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou, and NavIC to calculate tolls based on a vehicle’s location. Importantly, these satellites don’t track users –they only broadcast signals that allow position to be calculated locally on devices.
Data privacy is at the core of our solution: location data is only shared when explicitly collected through an on-board unit (OBU), tolling app, or GNSS device, and securely transferred to our back office. With live references across Europe, T-Systems Road User Services delivers proven, secure, and privacy-conscious tolling.
Real-world applications
One of the most significant recent implementations of T-Systems Road User Services GNSS tolling solution is in the Alsace region of France. This satellite-based system for HGVs, currently in the process of implementation, exemplifies how intelligent tolling can streamline operations while ensuring fair and efficient road usage. The system will integrate seamlessly with existing EETS providers, offering a cost-effective and user-friendly approach to road charging.
Beyond tolling
Through T-Systems Road User Services tolling ecosystem also extends beyond simple road charging. Through the company’s advanced platform, road users gain access to services such as real-time journey planning, mobile-based toll payments, logistic support features, and decisions based on geo information. Big haulers and partners profit from fleet management options and fraud prevention mechanisms and reports. By integrating e-ticketing solutions and data-driven insights, T-Systems Road User Services enhances both the efficiency and transparency of tolling operations.
