Definitions

  • the invention relates to methods, devices, a system and computer program products for charging tolls according to the preambles of the independent claims.
  • a toll region (for example, the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany) comprises a road network comprising a first network (primary network) of superordinate roads (eg federal motorways with two or more lanes per direction of travel) and at least one secondary network (secondary network) of subordinate roads (For example, federal highways and / or state / state roads and / or county roads, etc. with usually not more than one lane per direction of travel), wherein the first network and the second network at junctions between each a section of a road of the first network and a section of a road of the second network are linked together.
  • a first network primary network
  • superordinate roads eg federal motorways with two or more lanes per direction of travel
  • secondary network secondary network of subordinate roads
  • a driver may drive his vehicle from the first network to the second network (in which case the interchange is a departure or exit of the first network) or vice versa from the second network to the first network (in this case the interchange is one Driveway or entrance of the first network).
  • the automatic method (AV) of detecting the use of sections of the second network analogous to the existing automatic method (AV) of detecting the use of sections of the first network by means of one of each toll vehicle entrained vehicle device (OBU, on-board unit ) respectively.

  • 86,600 km of state / state roads, 91,700 km of county roads and 450,000 km of municipal roads are reported.
  • the second network of highways has a density of junctions on it subordinate networks of state / state roads, county roads and local roads, which is well above the density of junctions of the parent network to subordinate networks. This leads to a disproportionate to the network size increased number of interfaces limited by junctions in the subordinate network over the parent network.
  • An analysis by the applicant has shown that the first network of motorways comprises less than 6000 sections with an average length of more than 4 km, while the second network of trunk roads comprises more than 300,000 sections with an average length of less than 300 m.
  • This small size of the second network leads to an immense additional storage space and computing time requirements of the already used OBU and the already existing booking facilities.

  • the secondary toll charge of the toll system according to the invention results from the unpaid toll sections.
  • an overall primary toll charge of a route within the first network may be composed of the individual primary toll charges of the respective traveled route sections, while in one embodiment of the method according to the invention a total secondary toll charge of a route within the second network is summarily can compose the individual primary tolls of the respective sections of the first network, which were bypassed with the route in the second network, ie from primary tolls of a the first section of the route from which the vehicle has left the first toll road network, immediately following section to at a section immediately preceding the second section, at which the vehicle has again entered the toll road network.
  • the method according to the invention is based on a Driveway in the toll road network and the subsequent departure from the toll road network results in the collection of a secondary toll, resulting from a departure from the toll road network and the subsequent driveway in the toll road network.

This allows intermediate journeys of relatively long distances in the second network, which do not correspond to the shortest route from the first to the second route section.
  • a method may be provided for charging secondary tolls for journeys of a particular vehicle in a second network of subordinate roads, to junctions with a first network of parent roads with toll sections, for each of which use a primary toll fee is charged, wherein (a) the driving of a first connection point on a subordinate road of the second network is detected by the particular vehicle in terms of data, (b) driving through a second connection point on a subordinate road of the second network the particular vehicle is detected by data technology, (c) the determination of a secondary toll charge is performed in dependence on data of the first connection point and data of the second connection point and (d) the determined secondary toll charge is charged by data technology.
  • the method according to the invention is encompassed by such a method, because the first route section is characterized by the said first connection point at which the particular vehicle leaves the first network into the second network using a subordinate road, and because the second route section passes through characterized in that said second connection point at which the particular vehicle leaves the second network into the first network using a subordinate road.

  • the subsequent and previous links are identical, and the secondary toll corresponds to the primary toll for the other (non-traveled) link. If the first and the second route section are not separated by any other route section, the secondary toll charge is zero. If the first and second route sections are identical, the vehicle has placed in the second network a route back to the driveway of the first (equal to the second) route section; and the secondary toll corresponds to the first and second (identical) primary tolls.
  • the data-related determination of the secondary toll charge may include that from a database in the charge-related data stored in pairwise combinations of identifiers of two route sections are deposited, those charge-related data are determined, which are stored for the combination of the identifier of the first route section and the identifier of the second route section in the database, and the determined fee-relevant data are used as or for the determination of the secondary toll.
  • Such a database may be in the form of a table in which for first sections in columns and second sections in rows (or vice versa) line by line secondary tolls or secondary toll-related parameters are deposited, from which secondary tolls can be determined with the inclusion of additional data .
  • Such secondary toll charge relevant parameters may be given by indicating the identifiers of avoided sections whose primary tolls can be taken from another database, or by specifying a route length, for example the length of the shortest route in the second network from the first section to second stretch to be multiplied by a toll factor, for example a toll of x Euro per kilometer, to obtain the secondary toll.

  • the travel of the vehicle in the second road network is only chargeable to the extent that it represents transit traffic between a first and a second toll road section of the first motorway network: If an overall route of the vehicle has a first sub-route and a second sub-route generally toll-liable first route network as well as a supplementary partial route in the delivery network generally free of charge second network, by the first and the second part of the route are connected to the entire route, so the supplementary route is subject to a toll.
  • the relevant journey in the second route network is considered as delivery traffic and remains free of charge.
  • free delivery traffic is also any deviation from the shortest route between the first and the second section. Only the unerring transit in the second network between the first and the second stretch is subjected to the collection of the secondary toll.

  • a possible route in the second network results in both methods - in manual and in automatic - retroactively after the second section of the second journey in the first network was detected. Therefore, no control is necessary with regard to a possible toll-compliant behavior of the user in the subordinate second road network, but can advantageously be restricted to the superordinated first road network. Only on the second trip in the first network does the obligation to pay the toll for the route in the second network arise.

  • This inventive first route section of the first journey in the first network is the central data processing device 50 before the first booking record from the first toll station terminal 20 and is determined as a result of the central data processing device 50, sent to the second toll station terminal 21 and of the second toll booth terminal 21 (S25 in FIG Fig. 6 ).
  • the second toll booth terminal 21 has the pair of first and second route sections for which a secondary toll charge for using the second network is to be determined and to be charged.
  • the processor calls a Sekundärmaut file from one of its data memory, which is linked to the identifier of the first link section s 103 and line by line contains the secondary tolls of all paired with the first link section s 103 second route sections.
  • the processor of the second toll terminal 21 removes a secondary toll charge in the amount of 2.40 euros (S26 in FIG Fig. 6 ).
  • This amount corresponds to the use of the B13 in the second network with a toll rate of EUR 0.10 per kilometer, with which the longer route in the first network over the sections s 104 , s 105 , s 106 , s 312 and s 313 corresponding to 3.00 Euro would have cost.
  • the B 13 is used only in sections by the driver, its course corresponds to the shortest route between the junctions k 104 and k 314 , which is considered a toll transit trip, while deviations from this transit route are considered toll-free delivery traffic.
  • the central data processing device 20 as soon as it receives a first booking data record from the first toll booth terminal 20, forwards it to all other toll terminal terminals including the second toll booth terminal 21.
  • the step S25 thus moves in the flowchart of Fig. 6 before step S24.
  • the second toll booth terminal 21 after detection of the inventive second section s 314 sends the identifier of this second section together with the vehicle license plate to the central data processing device 50, which in turn a performs central determination of the secondary toll fee and sends this after their discovery for collection to the second toll booth terminal 21.
  • step S25 in Fig. 5 would have to be renamed "sending the second link to a central data processing device".
  • the determined secondary toll is displayed to the driver via the touch-sensitive screen 20a. He has to pay them first before he receives a request for payment of the second primary tolls to be paid for the sections of the second route in the first network.
  • the payment process corresponds to that described for the first partial route at the first toll booth terminal 20.
  • the second toll booth terminal Upon completion of the payment process, the second toll booth terminal a supplementary booking data set, in which for the pairing of the first route section s 103 and the second route section s 314 (read: their identifiers) the collected secondary toll fee is assigned to the vehicle license plate.
  • the secondary toll according to S27 of Fig. 6 as raised.
  • the second toll terminal 21 determines the second primary tolls to be paid for the acquisition of an authorization to use the second section s 314 according to the invention and the further section s 315 of the second journey in the first network, and shows this to the driver in Form of a sum of second primary tolls.
  • the second toll booth terminal prepares a second accounting record in which the vehicle license plate at least with the second start link s 314 and a first target link s 315 , to which the driver has made the request is linked.
  • the second primary toll fee is considered to have been charged (S28 in Fig. 6 ).
  • the second toll terminal 21 transmits the supplementary booking record and the second booking data record to the central data processing device 50.
  • the central data processing device 50 can respond positively to check requests which have been made by a control device which has detected the vehicle including its vehicle registration plate on one of the route sections 314 or 315 with the indication of a present authorization of use.
  • the driver can alternatively acquire all the use authorizations (first, second and supplementary) at the first toll-station terminal, even if he wishes to commit himself to the second partial route there.
  • a second variant of the second embodiment differs from the first in that the requests for booking of user rights are not made to a decentralized device, but by means of a personal computer 25 as a decentralized device via a communication network directly to the central data processing device 50, the so-called "Internet booking system" or IEBS as a web service provides.
  • This web service adopts all the method steps of the toll station terminals 20, 21 of the first variant with the restriction that the input and the display device are provided by the decentralized device, namely by the personal computer 25 of the user.
  • the method steps S23 and S25 can be dispensed with in this second variant because the information of both the first and the second link section are received and processed centrally from the same point
  • a network provided by the toll operator is provided by stationary decentralized booking facilities 20, 21 which uses one and the same user at different locations
  • a data processing device 50 which is central to the toll operator, is provided by a plurality of users via corresponding user-owned terminals 25-in particular also mobile terminals in the form of a smartphone 30-via a communication network (mobile radio, Internet) with regard to the booking of Usage permissions can be addressed by data technology, for example via a web service at the URL http://www.toll-collect.de.
  • accounting requirements of a user carried by the user terminal in the form of a smartphone 30 automatically determine the position of the user and according to the booking requirements to address a request for the granting of authorizations for the use of certain sections of the route as well as for the cancellation of at least one of these authorizations in the case of a determined non-use by the mobile terminal to the central data processing device.
  • the terminal determines elsewhere whether one or none of the booked sections has been traveled. If the mobile terminal 30 determines that the route section s 102 has been traveled, it automatically issues a cancellation request for the non-traveled route section 201 to the central data processing device 50, with which the usage authorization for this primary toll payment, which may have been canceled, will be credited ,
  • This Mobile Internet Automatic Booking (IEBS-2-GO) method can also be used to charge secondary tolls:
  • the central data processing device 50 evaluates this full cancellation as a departure from the first network in the second network at the junction k 104 and detects the last not canceled section (s 103 ) as a first route section according to the invention, which represents the final route section of the first journey in the first network.
  • the central data processing device evaluates this partial cancellation as driveway from the second network in the first network at the junction k 314 and detects the actually traveled Track section (s 314 ) as a second route section according to the invention, which represents the initial route section of the second journey in the first network.
  • the partial cancellation is evaluated as confirmation for the use of the non-canceled second route section, which according to the invention implies a calculation and collection of the secondary toll fee by the central data processing device.
  • the computer program product according to the invention is implemented in the central data processing device 50. Whose orders for carrying out the method according to the invention are called by a processor or a plurality of processors of the central data processing device 50.
