1. What is France Autoroute Toll?

France's autoroute system is a network of toll highways where fees are calculated based on distance traveled, vehicle class, and specific rates per kilometer. The toll helps maintain the high-quality road infrastructure.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the France Autoroute Toll formula:

Where:

• \( distance \) — Travel distance in kilometers
• \( rate\ per\ km \) — Toll rate in euros per kilometer (typically €0.10-€0.15/km for cars)
• \( class\ factor \) — Additional fee based on vehicle class

Explanation: The base toll is calculated by multiplying distance by rate, then a fixed class factor is added to account for different vehicle types.

3. Importance of Toll Calculation
