Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the position and shape of a control area on a road on which a vehicle is travelling, and to which a usage charge applies. According to the invention, a segment of the road is divided into segment sections and the perimeter of geographical coordinates of the control area associated with each segment section is calculated. At at least two different moments, a GNSS receiver calculates the position of the vehicle, said calculated positions being inside the control area; a control area being provided that is defined by a perimeter of geographical coordinates, fulfilling the requirements in terms of charging availability being above a pre-determined threshold value and the probability of a charging error being below a threshold value.
