Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device in a vehicle for on-board electronic billing of the use of toll routes by the vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a generic device is described in the unpublished patent application DE-P 43 10 099.6, which goes back to the applicant.
  • This device comprises an electronic accounting device carried in the respective vehicle, which continuously receives data sent from outside for determining the geographical vehicle position (eg satellite navigation) and evaluates it or receives position data directly (eg radio direction finding system).
  • An essential part of the device is a storage unit that has stored predetermined geographical positions (identification points), which enable the individual chargeable distances to be clearly characterized.
  • a computing unit compares the currently determined or received vehicle position data with the position data of the identification points and can by a Decision algorithm clearly determine whether the vehicle is using a chargeable route. If a usage of the route, which is subject to a charge, is determined, the device carries out a corresponding booking on a storage medium (for example chip card) by deducting the respective route tariff from a fee credit entered in the storage medium.
  • a storage medium for example chip card
  • This system for in-vehicle usage accounting guarantees optimal data protection, since the booking processes and the recording of the geographical vehicle position only take place in the vehicle itself.
  • the toll routes covered by a vehicle are not recorded and registered externally, since no information about the routes and the usage costs leave the vehicle.
  • this would open all doors to misuse of the system, since it would not be ascertainable if a section of the route subject to a charge were used by a vehicle without authorization, e.g. because the chip credit charge was no longer sufficient or was even completely used up or the facility for usage billing has been improperly shut down. There is therefore a lack of opportunities to detect such abuse.
  • a route guidance system for vehicles in which the determination of the respective vehicle positions is carried out via satellite navigation is also known. Such a system is described for example in DE 42 20 963 A1. There are no indications of a billing system for road user fees
  • tachographs e.g. EC tachographs
  • EC tachographs are mandatory for the operation of trucks and buses.
  • These devices usually record the course of the vehicle speed, driving and stopping times as well as the length of the distance covered on diagram disks in a timely manner. Further information about the distance traveled is not recorded.
  • a device of the generic type is known from DE 40 39 887 A1, which discloses a vehicle guidance and destination guidance system in which a modular vehicle device is used, to which route information from beacon devices can be transmitted via wireless short-range communication means, which are set up on the roadside and at happen to be addressed by the vehicle. If such beacon devices are located at suitable points along the route of a route network subject to usage fees, a fee can also be billed via mobile, electronically writable credit cards that can be inserted into the vehicle device. For this purpose, the fee amounts due are transmitted directly from the beacon devices to the vehicle device.
  • the object of the invention is to develop a device of the generic type in such a way that unauthorized driving on routes by vehicles equipped with a tachograph can be controlled and thus tracked, without violating the concerns of data protection, ie no data on driving behavior and any payment of user fees should be transmitted mechanically to locations outside the vehicle.
  • the basic idea of the invention is to provide a generic device in a vehicle, which is already equipped with a tachograph, with a data interface, the additional route information that goes beyond the information usually recorded by the tachograph and, for example, the information Make the use of a toll route recognizable, transmitted to the tachograph and recorded by the tachograph.
  • the tachograph records can only be checked for control purposes, as is still the case today in the form of random checks as part of traffic controls, which then also provide information, for example, about any unauthorized use of a toll route.
  • control of proper usage billing made possible by the invention does not require any additional infrastructure measures, such as the construction of transmitting and receiving devices (based on HF, IR or ultrasound) along the routes subject to charges. With the latter devices, contact could be made automatically with the vehicles passing by, and the correctness of the charging device could be checked by calling up information from the in-vehicle usage billing device. In contrast to this, the invention manages completely without such devices.
  • the geographic position of the vehicle can e.g. are transmitted to the vehicle by special transmission devices that have been set up along a route network (e.g. motorway network).
  • a route network e.g. motorway network
  • preferred within the scope of the invention is an in-vehicle position determination based on the received signals, e.g. of a radio direction finding system or in particular a navigation satellite system, especially since this is completely independent of changes in the route network (e.g. new route construction) and can be used at any location (i.e. also on insignificant secondary routes). This also enables additional uses regardless of the control of proper payment of road user fees.
  • the data transmitted to the tachograph by the device for usage billing via the data interface can also be used to determine, for example, in the context of a traffic control whether e.g.
  • a truck with water-endangering cargo has passed through a water conservation area in violation of the law.
  • geographical information about such protected areas should also be stored in the facility for usage billing, so that a corresponding signal is given to the tachograph when entering such a zone.
  • checks can also be carried out to ensure that the prescribed routes for dangerous goods are being observed.
  • route information which is to be recorded by the tachograph in the sense of the present invention in addition to the usual tachograph information, primarily data relating to the current geographic position of the vehicle come into question, for example at predetermined time intervals or "location-dependent" (e.g. according to predetermined path lengths or at Passing predetermined geographic points).
  • This data can be directly or recorded in encrypted form by the tachograph.
  • it may be sufficient to simply provide a constant "regularity signal" as additional driving route information and / or in the case of unauthorized use of the route, a "violation" signal (e.g.
