Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for tracking toll vehicles in a toll system, for example in a road toll system, as well as a system for carrying out the method.
  • 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.
  • toll collection systems levying usage are also known in such a way that an automated registration of the toll vehicles is carried out.
  • the toll vehicle is automatically detected upon entering the toll road surface, leaving the toll road surface and / or driving on the toll road surface and evaluated its movement and / or route to determine in this way the toll due for the actual distance traveled and to be able to raise.
  • decentralized elevating systems are known 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 Global Navigation Satellite System, GNSS for short
  • GNSS Global Navigation Satellite System
  • DSRC Dedicated Short Range Communication
  • 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 a position determination and toll recognition exclusively on the road side Perform vehicle detection devices.
  • the toll vehicle sends to the roadside vehicle detection device a corresponding identification signal.
  • the identification signals received by the road-side vehicle detection devices are transmitted to a toll center, which determines the toll on this basis and raises the toll.
  • the collection of the toll takes place after driving on the toll road section.

  • the vehicle devices can accordingly determine and / or detect the position of the respective vehicle subject to tolling and, on the basis of map material stored in the vehicle device, detect 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 in the toll center is charged, 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.

  • 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 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 procedure (MV) sets accordingly before the actual driving on the toll road sections to fixed route and pays the appropriate toll.
  • the toll can either be paid directly at the toll booth terminal or on the Internet, or be made available to registered users via the toll center in a monthly collective bill or deducted from an existing credit.
  • 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.
  • a highly accurate position determination by means of the position determining device is possible, wherein this has a GNSS receiver which receives specific signals from satellites of a global navigation satellite system, which are stationed in Earth orbit and which transmit corresponding position signals.
