Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système et un procédé de détermination de la distance parcourue par un véhicule en vue du calcul des droits de péage afférents à l'utilisation d'une route. Les véhicules (V) sont équipés d'un organe de contrôle (15) comportant un système mondial de radiorepérage 'GPS' (40) et une unité de commande (42). Un modem radio (44) en mode paquet met en forme les données reçues par le système GPS (40), ce qui permet de produire, selon une périodicité prédéterminée, un signal de radiorepérage. L'unité de commande (42) qui traite cette information calcule directement les données de distance parcourue ou émet simplement les informations de traitement à des relais aériens (20, 21, 22) qui retransmettent ces informations à des stations de surveillance (30) de sorte qu'il soit possible de déterminer les distances de façon à imputer au propriétaire de véhicule les droits de péage afférents à l'utilisation de la route.
