Abstract

Procédé et système de péage (SYS) permettant la facturation électronique à l'aide d'un système de détermination de position (PES) destiné à déterminer les coordonnées de position effectives (OKO) d'un véhicule. Selon ledit procédé, au moins une signature (SIG) caractéristique du tronçon parcouru par le véhicule (FAR) est calculée à l'aide des coordonnées de position (OKO) du véhicule (FAR). Cette signature (SIG) permet de déterminer si le tronçon parcouru (STR) est soumis à péage. Lorsque le tronçon parcouru (STR) est soumis à péage, une autorisation d'utilisation permet de vérifier si le véhicule (FAR) est autorisé à utiliser le tronçon (STR) soumis à péage.
