- These facilities are with a control and evaluation device SAE connected where all the data processing and Correlation takes place. This is basically in Fig.2 shown.
- the beacon control BS Infrared communication device IRK controls the processing with the vehicle and the control and evaluation device SAE.
- a successful debiting with an acknowledgment signal QS confirmed that for the optical Signaling from the vehicle transceiver is used. This is indicated with the trigger pulse TI, that of the infrared localization device IRL communicates this.
- the infrared localization device IRL or the vehicle location facility FZL records the position of the vehicle, which has paid and also shares this with the correlation facility COR of the control and evaluation device SAE with.
- a traffic radar device i.e. one Vehicle detection device FZD and the associated Radar detector RD
- all vehicles detected and their Position of the correlation device COR of the control and Evaluation device communicated to SAE. That way it is possible to change the positions of the vehicles that get paid have, and to recognize those of the nonpayers and for one accurate registration, identification and registration of the To have nonpayers available.
- a vehicle identification and registration facility FRI provided that with a normal video camera NV a video control VS and a video recorder REC is able to hold on to traffic offenders.
- a monitor MON is provided.
- SAE becomes the vehicle identification and Registrar FIR informed which vehicles have paid and which within a Communication limit KG have not paid and are now identified and have to be registered. This is in Fig. 3 illustrated.
