Abstract: A method and system for determination of dynamic traffic information or traffic events. Relevant data from vehicle-mounted terminals are recorded automatically, by remote interrogation or manually, and transmitted directly, together with a location identifier, via a wide-coverage mobile-telephone network, for example, GSM, to other mobile-telephone subscribers and/or a higher level exchange. In the exchange, the incoming data are processed and fed to selected terminals and/or third parties. In addition, the results of interrogation, for example, braking behavior, can be pre-defined by a traffic-control center and transmitted by radio broadcast or mobile telephone system to the terminals of road users in a geographically limited area who can then "observe" the flow of traffic directly and immediately report incoming interrogation results by mobile telephone back to the exchange.

Abstract: Process and apparatus for locating mobile stations in a cellular mobile radio network.

Abstract: With the proposed method and system for determining toll charges for traffic routes and areas, toll charges are calculated with the aid of a device installed in the vehicle on the basis of positional and tariff data. The data are then transmitted via a data transmission system to a central point, with the possibility of verification of the appropriate charge.

Abstract: In the proposed method of determining toll charges for vehicles using a traffic route, a radiolocation system is used to compare a vehicle's geographical location continuously with the geographical location of virtual collection points. The virtual collection points are formed by data acquisition sectors extending over predetermined distances in the direction of each route.
