  • the invention relates to a method and a device for charging according to the features of the independent claims 1 and 8.
  • DSRC is the abbreviation for "Dedicated Short Range Communication".
  • beacons arranged along the toll roads communicate with vehicle devices in the vehicles.
  • the beacons are often arranged on bridges above the individual lanes.
  • the communication usually takes place via a microwave radio link, the vehicle devices individually establishing a communication link with the beacons in a standardized handshake procedure. It is thus a direct exchange of data between each vehicle unit and each beacon possible. Due to the limited range of the microwave signals transmitted with low transmission power, communication is only possible within a limited common detection range of the beacon and the vehicle device.
  • beacons that do not affect each other.
  • different frequency ranges can be used, for example 5.8 GHz in European countries, 2.45 GHz in Singapore or 900 MHz in the USA.
  • Each vehicle is equipped with a device comprising a DSRC transponder, a GSM module and a system for detecting vehicle position.
  • the position detection system may e.g. include a GPS module for the satellite-based location and a mass storage in which the toll road network is stored.
  • DSRC beacons are located along the toll roads. Based on the information of the position detection system, the vehicle unit recognizes its position and can perform the charging within the conurbations with the DSRC beacons and outside of these areas in different ways. Within the metropolitan areas, charging takes place by the road-side DSRC radio beacons establishing a communication link with the vehicle-side DSRC transponders and a corresponding Initiate debit of the fee. The debiting of fees can either be done by a chip card carried in the vehicle device or from a bank account of the vehicle owner. In the latter case, the vehicle device transmits, via mobile radio, the vehicle registration number and the route used to a central station, this data being determined by the vehicle device on the basis of the information from the satellite navigation module.
  • a disadvantage of this system is that in the vehicle in addition to the DSRC communication device and the mobile module, a position detection system is required. Furthermore, as the number of vehicles within the detection range of a beacon increases, the time required for the beacon increases to establish a communication link with each of the reachable vehicle devices. This in turn restricts the actual usable detection range, within which a secure communication with all passing vehicle devices is possible.
  • the usable detection range is limited not only by the Rechweite the beacon signals, but also by the range of the vehicle-side transmitter. Especially in dense traffic, obstacles and sources of interference can have a particularly negative effect on the usable detection range.

  • Road network small transmitting radio equipment arranged with low transmission power and range. At short intervals, they send out information packets which can be received by vehicle devices with a standardized DSRC device or a corresponding receiving device within the range of the radio devices.
  • the data of the information packets may, for example, include information such as location, time and a tariff level. These use only a few bytes and can be sent in a very short time. Since the repetition intervals for the transmission sequences compared to the transmission duration be long can, it is possible to keep the energy consumption of the radio very low.
  • the radio devices are designed only as transmitters, but not for receiving DSRC transmission signals from vehicle devices. The radio devices can therefore be built very compact and space-saving.
  • the signals of a single transmitting radio device can be detected by vehicle devices on all - or at least several - lanes.
  • the information packets of the radio device can be detected and evaluated at the same time by all vehicle devices that are within the range of the radio device even at low transmission power. An exact positioning and alignment of the radio to the passing vehicles is not required.
  • the radio devices can eg inconspicuously be attached to small pylons - similar to those of lighting pylons - at the roadside.
  • existing equipment such as bridges, signal panels, lampposts, building walls, etc. may also be used as assembly sites for the radio equipment.
  • no complex satellite-based location system is required for locating because the position information is transmitted from the radio devices to the vehicle unit. Especially in densely built-up areas and at tunnels, this method of location is much safer and cheaper than a satellite-based location.
  • a satellite-based location system can be used in addition to the radio location.
  • each radio device also includes a mobile radio module for communication with a central computer of a service organization. This can be done, for example, via the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) or UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) mobile radio network and used for remote maintenance and / or to change the content of the data packets to be transmitted.

  • not only data but also processing instructions or executable program code can be transmitted from the central computer to the radio devices. Since the communication between each radio and the central computer is bidirectional, the radio devices can report any information about detected faults directly to the central computer.

These may e.g. be integrated directly into the vehicle devices and communicate via GSM or GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) or UMTS with the computer of a central control or billing center. Alternatively, information may also be conveyed indirectly to the control or clearinghouse by first communicating via DSRC links to relay stations specially designed for that purpose and from there to the clearinghouse.
