Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of tolling vehicles in an open road toll system with onboard vehicle-based units that can communicate with roadside radio beacons via short range radio interfaces, wherein the onboard units include electronic toll credit storage and the radio beacon prompts debiting a debit amount from toll credits to passing onboard units.
  • On-board units (OBUs) of this type are also referred to as "prepaid OBUs" and carry in the manner of an "electronic purse” a toll with it, can act as a toll booths charge beacons on the passage.
  • OBUs On-board units
  • each radio beacon autonomously maneuvers the passage through exactly that road segment where it - e.g. as “Mautplaza” - is set up.
  • the radio beacons have no connection to each other; their data are only forwarded to a central system for control purposes with a relatively long delay. Sending data from one beacon to another in a time-defined framework would be technically very complex and associated with high implementation costs.
  • Open road toll systems thus have no "memory", i. E. A toll-bake has no information about the current path of a vehicle in the road toll system, which does not allow cross-billing calculation of tolls.
  • the aim of the invention is to overcome this disadvantage and to provide a method for building vehicles in an open road toll system, which enables a dynamic, multi-beacon and real-time billing.
  • the debiting of the debit amount from the toll credit could also take place in the tolls bake, if this initially reads out the toll credit from the onboard unit and then reduced by the debit amount, so updated toll credit again in the first memory of the onboard unit writes back.
  • the method according to the invention thus creates as it were a "memory" for the path of a vehicle over several toll beacons an open road toll system by each onboard unit itself information about their previous path in the form of an updated at each beacon passage, stored in the onboard unit factor transported.
  • This ongoing The updated factor may then be used, for example, in the form of a discount factor and "reward" trips over multiple radio beacons, ie over a longer distance in the road toll system, as it progressively decreases in each beacon passage, or "punish" as it advances on each beacon passage is increased.
  • the transaction information transported thereto in the second memory and used for the factor update may include the location, the time, the debit amount and / or simply the fact of one or more of the last debits; the factor may be updated depending on one or more of these information. For example, the factor may be reduced at or about a fraction of its previous value for each update if the transaction information is a previous beacon passage, a previous beacon passage with a certain (minimum) charge amount, a previous beacon passage within a certain time window, and / or a previous one Indicates beacon passage in a specific location area.
  • the factor is preferably reduced if the location read out and the time read out are within predefined limits before the current location and the current time of the radio beacon.
  • the factor is particularly preferably also increased again or reset to its original value if the location read or the time read out are outside such limits.
  • the vehicles 2 are each equipped with an on-board unit (OBU) 3 which has a short-range radio interface 4, for example according to the DSRC (dedicated short range communication), WLAN (wireless local area network) or WAVE (wireless access in a vehicle environment ) Standard with a radio beacon B i can radio-communicate, if it happens this.
  • OBU on-board unit
  • DSRC dedicated short range communication
  • WLAN wireless local area network
  • WAVE wireless access in a vehicle environment
  • each radio beacon B i sends a debit request to a passing onboard unit 3, which causes them to deduct a certain amount from an "electronic purse" contained in the onboard unit 3.
  • the radio coverage area of a radio beacon B i and thus the range of the radio interface 4 are usually limited to a few meters to a few tens of meters around the area of a radio beacon B i , so that a vehicle 2 - with successful wireless communication between onboard unit 3 and radio beacon B i - to the location of the beacon B i and thus their Street segment a i can be located to charge this location use.
  • Fig. 2 shows an exemplary structure of an onboard unit 3 for this purpose.
  • the on-board unit 3 contains a control unit 5, for example a microprocessor, which is connected to a transceiver 6 for establishing the radio interface 4 to a radio beacon B i .
  • the control unit 5 is further connected to a first memory 7, which carries an electronic toll credit C ("credit”), from which toll amounts d can be deducted continuously, when a radio beacon B i sends a corresponding debit request ("toll transaction”), as later still based on Fig. 3 is described.
  • credit electronic toll credit
  • the on-board unit 3 further contains a second memory 8 for receiving a transaction information T regarding the last debit transaction.
  • the transaction information T may be Boolean information about the fact that a debit has been made (at all); and / or the amount of the last debit amount d deducted from the toll credit C; and / or the time t of the last debit or debit request; and / or the location p of the last debit, eg also only coded as identifier of the beacon B i which has sent the last debit request, since the locations of the beacons B i in the road toll system are known.
  • the transaction information T comprises the time t and the location p of the respectively last debit made on the toll credit C in the memory 7. It is understood that more than one transaction information T can also be stored in the memory 8, for example with regard to several last-made debit transactions.
  • the on-board unit 3 also includes a third memory 9 for receiving a factor F for the calculation of the debit amounts d in the toll beacons B i , as will be explained in detail below.
  • Fig. 3 shows a flowchart of the method, which is handled each time an on-board unit 3 passes a radio beacon B i between them.
  • the radio communication is initiated on the radio interface 4 when an onboard unit 3 enters the radio coverage area of a radio beacon B i .
  • the initialization step 10 usually includes a "wake-up" of the on-board unit 3 from a power-saving sleep mode and the exchange of some data packets for mutual identification, for example in the DSRC standard of a "Beacon Service Table" message (BST) from the beacon B i to the onboard unit 3 and a "Vehicle Service Table” message (VST) in response from the onboard unit 3 to the radio beacon B i .
  • BST Beacon Service Table
  • VST Vehicle Service Table
  • the current time t and the current location p for example referenced as an identifier of the beacon B i , can be communicated to the onboard unit 3, or even later, as described below.
  • the transaction information T from the second memory 8 and the factor F from the third memory 9 of the on-board unit 3 are read out in a first step 11 and read into the radio beacon B i via the radio interface 4.
  • the transaction information T in the example shown is the time t and the location p of the last charge made by a previous radio beacon B i-1 on the toll credit C.
  • a decision step 13 it is checked whether the read-out time t is within predefined limits R t and the read-out location p lies within predefined limits Rp.
  • the time limits R t for example, one hour or a day: Only when thus the last debit transaction for no more than an hour or a day, is the temporal condition "t ⁇ R t?" Fulfills.
  • the local boundaries Rp may, for example, be a location area immediately around a beacon B i-1 which is upstream in the direction of travel, ie the local condition "p ⁇ Rp?" eg is only fulfilled if the last debit transaction took place at the immediately upstream beacon B i-1 .
  • step 12 the factor F could be updated in another way depending on the transaction information T, as explained above.
  • the factor F in step 14 could also be increased and reduced in step 16, e.g. if the debit amount d is to be increased as a function of the distance traveled, for example for controlling traffic flows.
  • the subsequent step 19 represents the billing request sent by the beacon B i to the on-board unit 3 ("send d"), supplemented by the updated factor F and optionally the location p of the beacon B i , for example referenced as a beacon identifier, if the transaction information T uses this location p and this has not already been sent to the onboard unit 3, for example in the initialization step 10.
  • step 21 then the updated toll credit C in the first memory 7, the transaction information T - here including the billing time t and the billing location p - in the second memory 8 and the updated by the beacon B i factor F in the third memory 9 is written ,
  • the on-board unit 3 then expires again in its idle state until the next beacon passage (step 22).
  • the debiting of the debit amount d from the toll credit C could also take place in the radio beacon B i .
