Automation Of Issuing Process Of Permit To Use Roads By Abnormal Transport
Abstract Since the end of 2017 the Lithuanian Road Administration (LRA) has taken over the authority to issue permits for oversized and heavy vehicles using the national significance roads from the former State Road Transport Inspectorate. LRA has launched a pilot project for automated authorising system, in which application is submitted by filling electronic form and providing a driving route on a map. The route in most cases is automatically approved by the system. If there are any restrictions on the route or in case of larger parameters of a vehicle, an LRA specialist shall review it. Upon coordination, the system automatically calculates a charge for the use of roads by abnormal transport and informs the applicant. The applicant pays this charge via electronic banking, and the system automatically issues a permit (such payments make up to 90 %). If the charge is paid by standard transfer, the system automatically issues a permit after LRA employee registers payment details.
