Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for tracking toll vehicles in a toll system and to a toll system for carrying out such a method.
  • toll roads Different methods for collecting user charges or tolls for tolled traffic areas, such as toll roads, are known.
  • the toll is paid for example by the purchase of a vignette or other use authorization and is then valid for a predetermined period and a predetermined range.
  • the toll is charged depending on use.
  • the actual distance covered by the toll vehicle on the toll road surface is used to calculate the toll due - usually according to vehicle types and / or vehicle specifics such as the mass of the vehicle, the number of axles of the vehicle, the length of the vehicle, the emission class of the vehicle and / or the presence of a trailer.
  • decentralized elevating systems in which a position-determining device is provided in the vehicle, for example in a vehicle device or a vehicle device, which is also referred to as "on-board unit" (OBU).
  • a GNSS receiver in the vehicle detects the position of the vehicle via a GNSS system and a DSRC receiver in the vehicle can receive positions from roadside facilities.
  • these position data are processed in the vehicle unit for recognizing the traffic area subject to tolls.
  • the toll can be charged decentrally in the vehicle unit, for example by debiting a pre-paid credit.
  • the toll may be charged after transmission of the calculated toll data to a toll center through the toll center, which makes the debit or billing.
  • the collection of the toll takes place after driving on the toll road section.
  • a position determining device is again provided in the vehicle or a vehicle device, which transmit the position data to a toll center and the toll recognition, the toll determination and the toll collection are carried out in the toll center.
  • a GNSS receiver in the vehicle detects the position of the vehicle via a GNSS system and a DSRC receiver in the vehicle can receive positions from roadside equipment.
  • the toll recognition can be carried out in the vehicle unit or in the toll center. If toll recognition is carried out outside the vehicle unit, only position data which carries out toll recognition is transmitted to the toll center. The collection of the toll takes place after driving on the toll road section.
  • toll collection systems which dispense with the use of GNSS receivers and perform position determination and toll recognition exclusively via roadside vehicle detection devices.
  • the toll vehicle sends to the roadside vehicle detection device a corresponding identification signal.
  • the identification signals received from the roadside vehicle detection devices become sent to a toll center, which determines and levies the toll on this basis.
  • the collection of the toll takes place after driving on the toll road section.
  • the Toll Collect GmbH system is used to levy tolls on the use of motorways, with roadside controls in the form of fixed, fixed surveillance bridges spanning the road, covering the marks of each passing vehicle.
  • roadside controls in the form of fixed, fixed surveillance bridges spanning the road, covering the marks of each passing vehicle.
  • a comparison can be made with vehicle-specific data present in a central database under license plates of vehicles, in order to be able to check the correct charging of the toll incurred and possibly determine whether the driver of the vehicle is currently making a toll violation, in particular if no vehicle-specific data, in particular toll data, are present under the identified license plate of a vehicle for the relevant route section on which the vehicle was detected.
  • information about a route preselected for the respective license plate can be stored or information about the payment modalities.
  • Vehicle-side vehicle devices which are also referred to as OBUs (on-board units), have proven useful for individual and largely automatic detection of the use of the toll roads, which have a position-determining device for position detection of the vehicle or are coupled to a position-determining device provided in the vehicle.
  • the vehicle devices can accordingly determine and / or detect the position of the respective vehicle subject to tolling and detect, on the basis of map material stored in the vehicle device, whether the vehicle is on a toll road. If this is the case, a toll fee for the use of the determined toll road surface is determined by the vehicle device and the corresponding toll data, which include the determined fee, transmitted to a toll center.
  • the toll due can then be collected in the toll center, either by calculating the toll from the transmitted route data or by using the transmitted charge data.
  • the due toll will then be charged to the respective user or deducted from an existing credit.
  • the user In order to enable a proper toll collection, the user must initialize the vehicle device before departure and enter, among other vehicle data, such as the total weight of the vehicle, its emission class and the current number of axles. Based on this, the vehicle unit, taking into account the position of the toll vehicle determined by the position determination device and the adjustment of the position of the toll vehicle with a database in which the toll roads are deposited, determines the toll incurred for the respective journey and transmits this toll data at the latest Fulfillment of a certain criterion, for example when leaving the toll route, to the toll center.
  • vehicle data such as the total weight of the vehicle, its emission class and the current number of axles.
  • the position data determined over the course of the journey by the position-determining device and recorded by the vehicle device are transmitted continuously or when a specific criterion, such as the achievement of a predetermined amount of data at position data, to the toll center is met.
  • the toll for the toll vehicle to be paid for this journey is then determined and collected centrally in the toll center on the basis of the vehicle data and the toll road traffic areas recognized as traffic from the position data.
  • This method of collecting the toll data in which the user of the toll vehicle only has to initialize the vehicle device and then the detection of the route, the transmission of the toll data to the toll center, as well as the collection of the toll after initialization are carried out without further user input is also referred to as automatic procedure (AV).
  • AV automatic procedure
  • the toll is determined in this process only after driving on the respective toll section and thereby charged that it is charged accordingly or deducted from a deposited or pre-paid credit.
  • the vehicle device carried by the vehicle subject to toll recognizes according to the comparison of position data, which were determined by means of the position determining device with stored in a database map data, whether, and if so, which toll road section is traveled.
  • a toll road section is then stored in a storage device of the vehicle device.
  • toll sections are stored section by section in the storage device in the vehicle unit and then transmitted as toll data upon the occurrence of a predetermined criterion, for example, after exceeding a predetermined number of stored sections, to the toll center.
  • the toll determination takes place on this basis either in the toll center or in the vehicle unit. In the latter case, the toll to be collected is then transferred to the toll center as toll data.
  • the right to use the traveled, toll section is then acquired step by step after driving through each toll section, the toll charged via the toll center after leaving the toll section and transmitting the relevant data to the toll center becomes.
  • the toll collection system operated by Toll Collect GmbH also allows logging in according to the so-called manual procedure (MV).
  • AV automatic procedure
  • MV manual procedure
  • the respective user can use one of the approximately 3600 toll-station terminals, which are typically set up on truck stops, rest areas or petrol stations.
  • the manual procedure (MV) can also use a web service on the Internet.
  • the user acquires in the manual procedure (MV) a right to use the respective toll section before driving on the toll section or a toll route, which consists of one or more toll sections.
  • the user already indicates the planned driveway and the planned departure from the toll road surface before driving on the route at the toll station or in the web service, which then defines the one or more toll road sections of the route.
  • the user can also enter via positions in his route, which are taken into account in the determination of the route to be traveled and which are based on the calculation of the toll fee due.
  • the user of the manual method (MV) determines accordingly before the actual driving on the toll road sections the route to be traveled and pays the appropriate toll.
  • the toll can either be paid directly at the toll station or on the Internet, or for registered users can be provided via the toll center in a monthly collective bill or deducted from an existing credit balance.
  • a booking of a route with the manual procedure results in a fixed route, which the user can not leave without possibly being considered a toll-bumper.
  • a change in the route may become necessary, for example, if a section of the route booked is blocked or if a traffic jam occurs that is to be avoided. It may also happen that a user wants to go to additional stations while traveling. If the user wants to change his route after starting the trip booked via the manual procedure, he must do so at a stationary toll terminal so that his actually traveled route remains traceable. The user then has to make a partial cancellation of the booked route and then book the new desired route.
  • the position determination device In the vehicle devices or vehicle devices, a highly accurate position determination is possible by means of the position determination device, which has a GNSS receiver which receives specific signals from satellites of a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), which are stationed in Earth orbit and which corresponding position signals send out.
  • the position determining device uses these signals in a known manner for calculating the own position.
  • GNSS systems include, for example, the US GPS system, the Russian GLONASS, the European Galileo and the Chinese Compass system, the latter of which are still under construction.

  • encoders tiltometer, odometer
  • direction sensors such as a gyroscope or an electronic compass of the toll vehicle or with the position determining device may be connected to allow an even more accurate position determination by a dead reckoning. This may be particularly important if no GNSS data is available by covering, for example in a tunnel, and yet a precise position determination is desired.
  • the transmission of the information to the toll center is carried out via a communication module present in the vehicle equipment, which uses a known mobile radio standard and communicates the data, for example via the GSM standard, to the toll center.
  • a two-way communication is generally not provided, but only the toll-relevant data determined by the vehicle device are transmitted to the toll center when the vehicle device has completed the collection of data.
  • tolling systems are dependent on the collection of the route of the respective toll vehicles at least in the area which is decisive for the use of the toll road.

  • toll determination is technically understood the process of determining a toll from the used or perspective to be used toll road surface, possibly taking into account toll-related vehicle data and times.
  • toll collection is technically understood the process that has certain tolls from the user whose vehicle has proven to use the toll road surface or in perspective, for example, by taking cash such as at a toll station, by central debiting of an account or by decentralized deduction of a pre-paid balance on a chip card arranged in a vehicle device.

  • a toll violation is understood herein to mean that a toll vehicle has used or used a toll road surface and that the toll actually due for the use can not be charged. This may have the background that the toll vehicle is not accessible for automatic detection, since the technical prerequisites for carrying out an automatic procedure are missing - for example, an on-board unit suitable for the respective toll system is not present, is not switched on or is defective. However, it may also be that the current section of the route has not been booked for the respective vehicle in the manual procedure.
  • a toll may also exist if the toll collection fails because the toll to be paid can not be collected - for example, because an account, a credit card or a credit account is not covered.

  • controllers are usually trained by the crews of control vehicles. Present in the control vehicles or carried by the respective crew are mobile display devices on which the markings of the toll vehicles for which a toll violation is suspected are displayed. For this purpose, a mobile display device in the control vehicle usually receives toll-infringement notices from the road-side control device assigned to it.
