Abstract

The method employs vehicle-borne equipment (1), a roadside beacon (2) and a satellite (3). In the vehicle a microwave transponder (4) is connected to a chip card (6) and a GPS radio-navigation module (7) which receives the satellite signal (S). The transponder transmits a flow of data (D1) including tariff-relevant parameters and positions to the beacon, from which it receives in return the amount of the toll (D2). When this has been debited the transponder sends a guarantee (Z) to the beacon, which responds with an acknowledgment (Q) to the chip card.
