Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for setting up a mobile vehicle device and a vehicle device with such a mobile vehicle device for the collection of fees, which are incurred in particular for the use of a traffic area by a fee-based vehicle.
  • Tolling systems as an example of toll collection systems, rely on tolling to determine the location of tolled vehicles in an area that is critical to the use of the toll road as an example of chargeable infrastructure elements, particularly tolled traffic areas, in general.
  • on-board toll collection devices tolling devices, known in Germany as OBUs (On-Board Units) or simply: vehicle devices
  • OBUs On-Board Units
  • vehicle devices have proved the presence of the vehicle in identify, announce and / or confirm a chargeable area (for example, a motorway section).
  • the vehicle device For billing the charges which have become due for use, the vehicle device transmits at least one identification data record to a charging agency, by means of which the user and / or the means of payment of the user can be determined.
  • the vehicle device has a first communication interface, by means of which the identification data set can be transmitted to the registration device of a charging point of the vehicle charging system, for example together with charge data of charges incurred for the use of a traffic area or several traffic areas.
  • a first example of such a first communication interface is a GSM interface, a long-range communication interface, which is provided by a mobile radio transceiver in the vehicle unit, which communicates with a mobile radio transceiver of at least one base station of a mobile network to perform the communication to transmit the identification record and, if applicable, fee data to the fee collection agency.
  • a second example of such a first communication interface is, with a DSRC interface, a short-range communication interface provided by a DSRC transceiver in the vehicle device, which communicates with a DSRC transceiver of at least one DSRC transceiver in the road to perform the communication submit the identification record to the fee collection agency.
  • DSRC communication carriers may be, for example, microwaves and infrared waves.
  • Such a short-range communication interface can be used both for the charging and for the control of a correct charging, which was done autonomously in the vehicle unit.
  • the vehicle device side DSRC interface communicates with the DSRC interface of a traffic area side Registering device of a vehicle charging system, in the first case of a vehicle fee collection system, in the second case of a vehicle charge control system.
  • the linking of user data with vehicle device data is - regardless of the location of this link - referred to as personalization of the device.
  • This personalization can be extended by an initialization, with which vehicle device data vehicle data is assigned to the vehicle for which it is used. This can be done centrally in a database of the charging agency and / or locally in a data memory of the vehicle device, which is provided for the fee-paying vehicle.
  • vehicle data have, for example, a vehicle-identifying data record unambiguously identifying the vehicle, for example the license plate number (LPN) issued by a state authority for the vehicle and by means of an on-vehicle data fixing license plate is visualized.
  • LPN license plate number
  • This vehicle registration number can be supplemented by a country code of the state from whose authority the vehicle was registered (eg DE for Germany, FR for France, IT for Italy, etc.).
  • the vehicle data may include the vehicle identification number (VIN), which is retained by the vehicle over its entire service life-unlike, if applicable, the vehicle registration number. In contrast to the license plate number, this number is usually not displayed on the vehicle from the outside.
  • VIN vehicle identification number
  • Vehicle-identifying data are then considered as vehicle-relevant vehicle data if they can be determined by a data analysis of images of the vehicle, which were recorded by an imaging control device.
  • the vehicle data generally include vehicle parameters which classify the vehicle and are subject to different charges depending on the value of the vehicle parameter - so-called fee-relevant vehicle-classifying vehicle data.
  • vehicle-classifying vehicle data include, for example, the visually detectable vehicle parameters “number of axles”, “vehicle height”, “vehicle length” etc. and the non-visually detectable, hidden, vehicle parameters “permissible gross weight”, “emission class”, “engine capacity”, “power”, “ Maximum speed “etc.
  • These vehicle parameters are subject to the calculation of charges insofar as different charges are to be charged for vehicles distinguishable by different values of a vehicle parameter.
  • the values of some of these vehicle parameters for a vehicle may change, even without requiring a change to the vehicle registration. For example, by adding a trailer and / or trailer to the tractor, the number of axles of a vehicle may increase or decrease by removing a trailer and / or trailer from the tractor. In this case, a correct change of the number of axles is required in the vehicle data to be used for charging.
  • re-initialization may consist of the two steps of de-initialization (deletion of the vehicle data of the first vehicle) and re-initialization (storage of the vehicle data of the second vehicle).
  • the owner of the vehicle device and the user of the second vehicle are not necessarily all aware of their vehicle parameters. Even if he could take them from various documents (for example, the vehicle registration document or the vehicle registration document), errors may occur in the entry, which unintentionally identify the user as a wrongdoer in the event of a check.
  • EP 2 249 313 A1 It is known to register user and vehicle data in a control center and to provide it with a user identification, by means of which the user and vehicle data are transmitted from the center on request to the vehicle unit for initializing the vehicle unit.
