METHOD FOR DETERMINING WHETHER AT LEAST ONE TOLL-REQUIRED SECTION OF ROAD IS BEING TRAVELED UPON

摘要

The invention relates to a method and a toll system (SYS) for determining whether at least one toll-required section of road is being traveled upon by a vehicle (FAR). According to the invention, the position of the vehicle (FAR) is determined by means of at least one positioning system (POS), and the determined position is used to verify whether a traveled section of road requires the payment of tolls. In addition to the positioning system, the vehicle (FAR) comprises a transmitting/receiving unit (SEE) that is designed for exchanging data (DAT) with a cellular radio network (FUN). At least one cell identifier (ZID) is assigned to each cell (ZEL) of the radio network (FUN), and at least in the event of a partial failure of the positioning system (POS), the at least one cell identifier (ZID) is used to verify whether the section of road used by the vehicle (FAR) requires the payment of tolls.
