TITLE:

THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE FREE-FLOW SYSTEM ON BRAZILIAN FEDERAL HIGHWAYS: TOLL RATES IMPACTS IN A CASE STUDY OF THE BR-101/RJ/SP

KEY WORDS:

Free-flow, BR-101/RJ/SP Concession, Highway, Infrastructure and Toll Rate

SUMMARY:

The free-flow system toll collection is already a reality in Brazil, having been implemented in part of the stretch concession called RioSP, and has the potential to generate major changes in tariff policies in road infrastructures. However, an important factor to be considered is the trend towards an increase in user defaults, as there is no physical barrier to prevent passage without paying the due toll rate. Thus, the objective of the study was to evaluate the toll rate impacts of the implementation of the free-flow system in a case study of the BR-101/RJ/SP. In this context, a systematic review of the literature was carried out, identifying the characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, the advances achieved by Brazil and the challenges to be overcome in order to expand the use of the free-flow system in the country. To assess the toll rate impacts on the cash flow of the BR-101/RJ/SP, two free-flow implementation scenarios were simulated: one just replacing the toll plazas provided for in the original contract; another proposing a pure free-flow model with charging per homogeneous segment at 17 charging points. To analyze the feasibility of the simulated scenarios, the concept of allowable non-payment was used, for which the economic-financial balance of the concession occurs with the kilometer toll rate and the project's original internal rate of return. The BR-101/RJ/SP concession’s Feasibility Studies were used to support the analysis of the free-flow implementation in part of the concession section. The momentum transport and billing system costs were calculated for the proposed model. As a result, on the one hand, it was found that the implementation of free-flow billing gateways at the same billing points originally studied is advantageous, resulting in a toll rate reduction of 14% or allowing margin to absorb up to 13.5% of frustration from annual revenue due to defaults. On the other hand, the simulation of charging per homogeneous segment on the highway under study, which increases 14 collection points, despite achieving the objective of tariff justice, implied a 24% increase in the kilometer toll rate in the base scenario.
