Problems solved by technology

When the system relies on built-in safety modules, it becomes an expensive operation if these modules need to be replaced in all cars in a country
Also, if a car with a built-in OBU is stolen, the owner still has to pay for the kilometers the thief has driven the car
[0014] Therefore, there are many problems associated with stationary OBUs, however, since the replacement of portable road tolling units is not advisable if the owner forgets to bring the portable unit with him and the vehicle is not available

Embodiment Construction

[0049] The present invention provides a road tolling system using a satellite navigation receiver installed in a vehicle, from which the traveling distance and the resulting road toll are determined. The billing system bills users according to the generated road fees. The portable activation device sends information about the owner of the portable activation device to the vehicle mount unit, and the vehicle mount unit provides information to the billing system so that the owner of the portable activation device can be identified. The invention is directed to the system as a whole and to the vehicle-related components, ie the vehicle-mounted unit and the activation device (together referred to as the road tolling device).

[0050] In combination, it is believed that the portable activation device and the vehicle mounted unit work in a similar manner to existing vehicle mounted OBUs. However, by separating the data needed to provide user personalization in the portable activati...

Abstract

The invention relates to a road toll system using a vehicle-mounted satellite navigation receiver, from which routes taken and road prices incurred are determined. A billing system bills a user in dependence on the road prices incurred. A portable activation device transmits information concerning the owner of the portable activation device to the vehicle-mounted unit, and the vehicle-mounted unit provides information to the billing system to enable identification of the owner of the portable activation device. In combination, the portable activation device and the vehicle-mounted unit can be considered to function in a similar way to a known vehicle-mounted OBU. However, by separating the data necessary to provide user-personalisation into the portable activation device, the vehicle-mounted unit can become more standard, and the user is able to drive other vehicles more easily.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a road toll system for realizing an automatic payment system for deducting road tolls according to the road sections used. Background technique [0002] The combined use of telecommunications and informatics is called telematics. Vehicle telematics can be used for many purposes, including collecting road tolls, managing road usage, tracking the location of moving vehicles, recovering stolen vehicles, providing automated collision notifications, driver information services for driving locations, and in-vehicle advance warning notifications Warning system (auto accident prevention). [0003] For vehicle telematics, road tolling is thought to be probably the largest market. Telematics is now starting to enter the consumer automotive environment as a multimedia service box for closed services. The market is still small and considered an opportunity market. The European Union, with the Netherlands as the lead country int...
