A system and method for facilitating collection of Road User Charges (RUC) using a digital currency within a Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) network are disclosed. The system generates secure digital wallets for Road Users and Facility Owners, receives trip, position, distance, and cost data from vehicles, sensors, and facility systems, and encodes settlement logic into smart contracts. These contracts automatically execute jurisdiction-specific disbursements across blockchain, directed acyclic graph (DAG), or hashgraph frameworks, ensuring scalability and auditability without reliance on centralized tolling infrastructure. An AI Activity Module processes multi-source telemetry—including vehicle sensors, GNSS / PNT data, roadside infrastructure, and third-party traffic feeds—to detect congestion, forecast conditions, optimize routing, and dynamically adjust segment-level RUC pricing in real time. The integration of AI-driven adaptive pricing with distributed ledger settlement provides a decentralized, infrastructure-agnostic framework for secure, transparent, and verifiable road use fee collection across multiple jurisdictions, distinct from conventional tolling systems.
