Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, known methods are insufficient to detect road use by road users in a traffic- and demand-satisfied manner
The control effect of the known methods and systems for improving the traffic flow is therefore only very limited, in particular it is not possible to take into account any individual different needs of road users for the use of the road

Embodiment Construction

[0041] Such as figure 1 It is shown schematically that the device according to the invention is associated with a road user 1 and with a road user 2 and is arranged in the same configuration in the respective vehicles. According to an exemplary embodiment, the device comprises a central unit in combination of a positioning module for determining the position of the vehicle, for example by means of GPS, and a transaction module for processing financial transactions, possibly also a driver indicator to indicate to the driver an overtaking request , can also optionally contain environmental sensors and a navigation system for determining further parameters of the driving situation. The central unit is arranged to process the data communicated by the rest of the assembly and to this end contains eg a processor and storage means. From localization, it is possible to determine the direction and speed of the vehicle by taking advantage of changes in position over time. Furthermore,...

Abstract

A system and method for handling a road-use-dependent communication, such as a financial transaction, the execution of an overtaking maneuver is sensed and on the basis of the overtaking maneuver which has been performed a financial transaction is executed by an overtaking road user for an overtaken road user.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods and apparatus and suitable computer program products for processing financial transactions related to road use. Background technique [0002] Methods and devices are known for charging road usage-related charges for financing road networks and also for the purpose of controlling traffic flow. In this regard, for example, a toll is charged for using a tolled section of a road, which needs to be paid when entering the tolled section of a road or when leaving the relevant road section. [0003] DE 4305324A1 discloses a device for collecting road usage tolls, in which, when passing a transmitter or an induction loop placed on the road or when a certain period of time passes, a stored-value card that needs to be carried on the motor vehicle The card reader debits a specific amount. Therefore, road user charges need to be better tailored to the costs incurred by drivers. In order to make the traffic flow more even,...
