Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a system for determining a route toll, in particular a road toll.
  • route user fees have been introduced in many countries. These are invoiced via so-called toll collection systems to the actual user of the traffic route.
  • terminals are provided at which the users specify data relating to the planned route, in particular the route, when entering a toll route and must pay a corresponding fee therefor. It is also possible to issue at the terminals a ticket in paper form, which presents the user when leaving the toll route and pays the incurred fee at a counter.

From a vehicle-side communication device are from an odometer kilometers of the vehicle and the positions of the vehicle determined by GPS, for example, are transmitted to a fixed station via a satellite-based communication system. A computer connected to the fixed station processes the position data of the vehicle to estimate the distance traveled and validates the estimated distance by comparing it with the mileage information.
  • a vehicle-side terminal determines the position of the vehicle while driving.
  • the terminal may also be connected to an odometer of the vehicle to measure the distance traveled.
