摘要

The invention is directed towards a system and business process which provides for reconciliation and accounting services necessary to support automated vehicle identification (AVI) tag utilization irrespective of vehicle owner. A plurality of AVI's, alternatively referred to as “Toll Tags” are acquired and such tags are registered with a centralized reconciliation and accounting entity. The acquired tags are then physically affixed to a motor vehicle within a multiple vehicle entity's fleet. The invention digitally acquires and combines charges attributed to tag usage, with information relating to transient drivers utilizing the fleet's vehicles who have incurred charges during a period of vehicle utilization. The instant invention then provides via its integrated software processes a reconciliation methodology by which applicable charges are created in the form of a bill which can be submitted or billed as credit charges to, and recovered from, responsible parties with fees and rebates attendant thereto rendered to selected entities.
