  • the device according to the invention can recognize whether it is in each case a vehicle, for which the toll has been paid manually and for which consequently an increased need for control consists.
  • the device according to the invention automatically determine if for the particular vehicle too little or false tolls have been paid so it's not allowed to drive on each one Route is authorized.
  • the device according to the invention has a Detection device, the at least one Identification feature of a passing vehicle can capture.
  • identification features come here basically any elements or signals in question that an assignment of the relevant vehicle to one or several in the charging system Allow records. Accordingly, it may be each to be detected by the detection device Identification feature, for example, an optical recognizable feature, such as the country code and / or the registration number of the vehicle in question, act.
  • the identification feature may be Furthermore, the signal from one in or on the vehicle located signal generator, such as passive or active Transponders, radio equipment or similar Signalers, act.
  • the concerned Identification features can be used at the same time for the automatic booking in the Fee collection system, whereby that of the Signals generated for them to charge significant data should be clearly assigned.
  • the device with both an optical Recognition device for detecting optical Characteristics, as well as with a receiving device for Capture wirelessly transmitted signals.
  • electronic signaling devices such as transponders, equipped and as such in the automatic system
  • Registered vehicles can be automatic this way be checked if that is the respective Identification signal in the data memory associated Kfzund / or Country code with the corresponding, am respective vehicle located optical Identification features match.
  • An abuse of for the automatic payment of tolls Certain signalers can be detected so easily become.
  • the evaluation device evaluates the of the Detector received Identification information. In doing so, she checks whether this information can be assigned a record, to a group of in a data store created, for example, all for driving on each supervised section of the vehicle belonging to the data records. Is that the case, so the result of the finding is positive and it is Clear that the recognized vehicle for driving on the monitored route section is entitled. Is of the evaluation device made statement against it unsuccessful, this is a clear indication that a special inspection of the vehicle concerned is displayed. Unsuccessful is the one of the Evaluation device whenever, if no Identification feature on the vehicle could be detected or if the identified identification feature none to the group of the legitimate vehicles dataset belonging to representative datasets can be assigned.
  • the evaluation device may take the form of a in the Device according to the invention each locally available Data processing device be realized.
  • the required Findings of a distant from the inventive device placed computer unit to be carried out with those in the Device according to the invention locally available Evaluation device in a telecommunication connection stands.
  • the locally existing ones includes Evaluation device a transmitting and receiving station, via which emitted by the detection device Identification information to the remote Computer unit submitted and the result of the Received computer unit statement becomes.
  • the locally available evaluation device supplies then one from the remote computer unit supplied result corresponding control signal to the Display device of the device according to the invention further.
  • the evaluation device When checking by the evaluation device It deals with the vehicle-specific data considered for example, the fee collection system during automatic and / or manual booking of the Vehicles recorded significant vehicle data such as License plate, country code, axle class and Emissions class. Likewise it can be about accounting-specific data, such as Information about the manual entry covered, prepaid route.
  • the detected by the detection device Identification features may be for documentation purposes in a data memory of the device according to the invention or in a data store remotely located Computer unit are stored.
  • the data processing system with a Time and / or date transmitter equipped.
  • This can a time / date stamp on each recognition process generated and read along with the Identification feature are stored. This allows real-time assignment of the passing Vehicles.
  • Is the group of vehicle and booking specific Datasets which are used to drive each supervised section of the vehicle comprise, in a device according to the invention in one stored local memory of the evaluation, so the latter should have a receiving device for receiving data records supplied by a central data server include. In this way it can be guaranteed that at the of the evaluation always used data current status.
  • a wireless connection e.g. a Wireless connection, used, so the inventive Device independent of the presence of a local Fixed connection can be operated safely.
  • Control result is determined by the display device of inventive device displayed.
  • This can be a be provided optical display element. Complementary or Alternatively, however, can also be acoustic signal or others suitable for displaying a unique signal Elements are used.
  • the acoustic signaling device may be for example, one from the respective control person worn headphones after detection an audible vehicle Signal outputs. This ensures that the Control result from the control staff despite the especially in high traffic large number of possible optical interference perceived properly becomes.
