  • Publication number: 20060200379
    Abstract: A road toll collection system includes a vehicle device for the vehicle-autonomous determination of a road toll for a vehicle within a use billing area. Data required for determining the road toll are transmitted, when required, from an operator control center to the vehicle device by means of a communications device, and the vehicle device determines partial tolls which are incurred continuously for traveled route sections, as well as the total toll for a journey by summing the individual part tolls. When predefined criteria are fulfilled, the vehicle device transmits the currently determined total toll via the communications device to an operator control center for billing.

  • Publication number: 20060064345
    Abstract: A monitoring method for registration of road tolls uses a monitoring system with a plurality of registration devices for vehicle information, and a trigger device for the correctly timed activation of the registration devices. The individual registration devices are activated at times at which the spatial arrangement of the vehicle and the respective registration device which registers vehicle information is at an optimum. Various vehicle information items which are registered separately in spatial and chronological terms by the registration devices are assigned by the monitoring system to the vehicle and to a reference time.
