Method for the automatic debit tolls for vehicles.

摘要

A method for automatic debiting of tolls for vehicles (V1-V4) on traffic routes or in traffic zones, the vehicles being equipped with communication devices (1, 11) for communication (12) with a central unit (C) and a roadside unit (3) at a physical toll (4) station. At least one virtual toll charging station (7) is geographically predetermined in relation to the physical station. The vehicle's communication device comprises also a receiver (8) for a signal supplying GNSS system. A first processor (5) reads the position of the vehicle and detects the entry of the vehicle into a virtual toll charging station by comparing the read vehicle position with the positions of the virtual toll charging stations, which data are stored in the vehicle's memory (6), the communication device announcing, via a digital mobile transmitting network to the central unit, that a toll debit transaction is to be executed. The central unit carries out the toll debiting transaction and returns a receipt of the transaction to the vehicle. On entry to the physical toll station the vehicles communication sends, via a communication link to the roadside unit, the receipt as evidence that the correct toll has been paid.
