Definitions

  • the invention refers to a method for pricing and/or billing for the use of a public road system etc. by vehicles, called road pricing hereinafter.
  • One aim is to provide a method and means respectively in which the privacy of each individual (vehicle) user will be guaranteed.
  • Another aim is to provide a method and means respectively in which as much as possible central processing capacity is used, while the processing capacity in each vehicle is minimal. Moreover there is no need for communication between the vehicle and road-side equipment. Both aspects implicate the possibility of cheap on-board-equipment.
  • a method and means respectively are proposed for pricing and/or billing for the use of a public road system etc. by vehicles (often called road pricing), comprising:
  • vehicle data The data related to the vehicle and/or its owner, called vehicle data hereinafter, may also be stored in the vehicle processing means and be used (see last step above), together with the received pricing data, to calculate, declare or pay, by the responsible person or authority the road pricing of his/her/its vehicle.
  • vehicle data may be stored and used separately, e.g. within a PC or (via any terminal) within any Internet accessible server.
  • the vehicle processing means transmit the vehicle's motion data to the pricing processing means in an anonymized way, e.g. by data (block) partitioning and scrambling or any form of data (block) desequencing, which prevents reconstruction of private or sensitive information from the data exchanged between the vehicle processing means and the price processing means.
  • One aspect is to provide a method and means respectively for registration the numbers of kilometres driven by vehicles in a privacy friendly way, which need can be fulfilled by the above measures, which will be elucidated more in detail further below.
  • Another aspect is to provide a method and means respectively for verifying -by a verification or enforcement authority- whether the users indeed use the road pricing as prescribed.
  • the pricing means preferably comprise two components to ensure, in collaboration with the vehicle processing means, the privacy aspect.
  • the price processing means processes, in a first step, the motion data, using the especially geometrical road data, into a trajectory, i.e. a set of pairs (t i , x i ) where the x i is the best fitting point on a geometrically described road element and i is an index.
  • a second step it processes the trajectory into the prices for driving on the respective road elements (sections).
  • a privacy agent to ensure the impossibility for the price processing means to derive information related to the privacy or sensitive aspects of the vehicle's motions.
  • the three parties i.e.
  • the vehicle processing means communicate in an anonymous way with the price processing means, e.g. akin to the way a prepaid GSM communicates with a GSM provider.
  • the provider only knows that 'someone' has paid for an amount of services (in this case: geometrical fitting and pricing service).
  • the price processing means receive the motion data via the privacy agent, fulfils its service task and sends again via the privacy agent its data back to the vehicle processing means. So the privacy agent has the task to work as an intermediate party between the vehicle processing means and the price processing means: it receives the motion data of the vehicle processing means in such a way that it can not interpret the motion, only the times of the measurements.
  • FIG. 1 gives a schematic and exemplary illustration of a system which is arranged to perform the method according to the invention.
  • Figure 1 shows a number of cars 1 driving along a public road system.
  • Each car 1 is provided with a rather simple car module 2, arranged for assessing -by means of a position measuring system, e.g. GPS- and transmitting data related to motions of the car along or through the road system, indicated as motion data m in figure 1 , and for receiving, and (temporarily) storing, pricing data p related to the car and its motions.
  • a position measuring system e.g. GPS- and transmitting data related to motions of the car along or through the road system, indicated as motion data m in figure 1
  • pricing data p related to the car and its motions.
  • the public road system is provided with a server 3 for storing data related to the public road system and/or sections of it, like individual roads etc., called road data r hereinafter.
  • a server 3 may already be in use for other purposes, e.g. for road management and maintenance etc.
  • a pricing server 4 is provided for processing the motion data m received from each individual car into individual pricing data p.
  • the car module 2 transmit the car's motion data m (without its car data like license number etc.) to the pricing server 4.
  • the pricing server 4 calculates the pricing data p, using the received motion data m and the related road data r, retrieved from road server 3 using those motion data m, and returns the calculated pricing data p to the car module 2 of the relevant car 1.
  • the car module 2 receives the pricing data p and makes them available to a person or authority who/which is responsible for the declaration or payment of the road pricing of the car, the car user or owner.
  • the data related to the car and/or its owner/user may or may not be stored in the car module. If stored in the car module 2, it can be used, together with the received pricing data p, to calculate, declare or pay, by the responsible person or authority the road pricing of his/her/its car. If the car data v is not stored in the car module 2 it may be stored in e.g. the owner's or user's PC, which can be used to declare or pay the road pricing to the Tax Authority (not shown in the figure).
  • the car module 2 transmits the car's motion data m to the pricing server 4 in an anonymized way, e.g. by data partitioning and scrambling or any form of data desequencing, causing that individual car trips cannot feasibly be tracked, or by introducing a privacy agent in between (not shown in the figure).
  • a verification authority 5 transmits verification codes to the pricing server 4, which verification codes are linked to sections of the road system (hence not linked with the cars on it).. These verification codes are not intelligible for the vehicle processing means, nor for his owner or any other than the verification authority (for instance by encryption).
  • car identifiers e.g. license plates, of passing cars are recorded, e.g. by photo or video cameras 6.
  • the pricing data p calculated by the pricing server, are returned to the car module 2 of the relevant car 1, the verification codes which correspond to the road sections at the time the car moved along or through them, are added to those pricing data.
  • the data are stored in the car module 2 in a secure way as long as necessary.
  • the car module 2 After the car module 2 receives the pricing data p and the relevant verification code(s) both are made available to the person or authority responsible for the declaration or payment of the road pricing of the car, which person or authority adds the car's identifier, e.g. license number, and -for instance on explicit demand of the verification authority- the received verification codes to his/her/its declaration or payment of the road pricing of the car.
  • the verification authority checks the received declaration or payment, including the car's identifier and the presence of the right (see also the example below) verification codes with its own records of verification codes and links to the sections of the road system where the identifiers of passing cars were recorded.
  • the vehicle's car module 2 detects the vehicle's motion (in fact outcomes of measurements of time and coordinates) along its path A-B and transmit the car's motion data m (without its license number) to the pricing server 4.
  • the road server 3 has subdivided the road network into rather short road sections which are coded into section codes.
  • the pricing server 4 calculates the pricing data p, using the received motion data m and the related road data r, retrieved from road server 3 using those motion data m, and returns the calculated pricing data p to the car module 2 of the relevant car 1.
  • the car module 2 receives the pricing data p and makes them available to a person or authority who/which is responsible for the declaration or payment of the road pricing of the car, the car user or owner.
  • the pricing data e.g. includes a dataset like: License AA-99-BB Date/time Section code 4-11-2008 09:00 FeuZiyfp 4-11-2008 09:02 8AhFhSvu 4-11-2008 09:03 G7CiD4gw 4-11-2008 09:05 RZNdGe9G 4-11-2008 09:09 anx7NpSJ 4-11-2008 09:10 EG7ffTRV 4-11-2008 09:14 vecdoawQ 4-11-2008 09:16 i8wtPvbk 4-11-2008 09:17 RP9vpBFe 4-11-2008 09:20 nAzP4w7R 4-11-2008 09:22 WCGq6nts 4-11-2008 09:25 7ao2uRKK 4-11-2008 09
  • the road section codes may be used as verification codes for verifying, to prevent fraud with the declaration of trips to the Tax Authority.
  • the verification authority 5 transmits the verification/section codes to the pricing server 4, which verification codes thus are linked to the sections of the road system in particular those where -for verification reasons- the license plates of passing cars may be recorded, e.g. by photo or video cameras 6.
  • the verification authority 5 installs such a "check point" 6 at a certain road section, e.g. at road section WCGq6nts, during a certain period, e.g. at 2008-11-04 between 09:00 and 10:00, the verification 5 authority changes the code of that road section, e.g. from WCGq6nts into SUgbJq6j.
  • the car module 2 After the car module 2 receives the pricing data p and the relevant verification code(s) both are made available to the person or authority responsible for the declaration or payment of the road pricing of the car, which person or authority adds the car's identifier, e.g. license number, and -for instance at explicit demand of the verification authority- the received verification codes to his/her/its declaration or payment of the road pricing of the car.
  • the verification authority compares the received declaration or payment, including the car's identifier (AA-99-BB) and the verification codes with its own records of verification codes and links to the sections of the road system where the identifiers of passing cars were checked.
  • the verification authority only needs to check whether or not for the user's license number AA-99-BB, the section code SUgbJq6j is present in the user's declaration or payment. If that code should not be present in the dataset the submitted declaration proves to be fraudulent (after all car AA-99-BB was gatsoed driving over road section SUgbJq6j ), after which the Tax Authority can take measures in consequence of that.
  • the verification authority will change the codes of the road segments (not only of the segments where license plates are recorded) frequently -e.g. four times a day at varying times- to prevent interpreting of the codes.
