Procedure for the payment of a fee for the use of a toll road network by a vehicle and a toll system for the implementation of the procedure

摘要

The invention concerns a procedure and toll system for the payment of a fee for the use of a toll road network by a vehicle (1). A random generator (2) generates a random character string (S) and transmits it to an electronic payment system (2) to handle the payment of the fee as well as to a control device (3) to check on the road side a usage authorization of the roadNetworking vehicles (1). A user registers for a payment entitlement (2) and enters a mark (K) of the vehicle intended for use (1). The payment system (2) generates a hash value (H) from the mark (K) and the currently valid string (S) by means of a hash algorithm and transmits it to an electronic operator system (4) of a toll operatorthe control device (3) captures by video recording and evaluation of a passing vehicle (1) a vehicle identification mark (K) of the vehicle (1) and also generates from the recorded identifier (K) and the currently valid string (S) by means of the hash algorithm: Password (H) and transmits it to the operator system (4). The operator system (4) checks,whether the hash value transmitted by the control device (3) matches one of the hash values transmitted and still held by the payment system (2). This makes it possible to collect and control road user charges in free circulation on a time- and route-dependent basis, without the permanent installation of specialised terminal equipment in the vehicle (1) and while respecting the privacy of the user.
