Problems solved by technology

[0006] A disadvantage of this known method is that no settlement of tolls can take place if the communication link between the vehicle and the settlement center or between the vehicle and the position determination system is interrupted
Another disadvantage of this known toll system is that if the satellite-supported position determination system is interrupted, position determination is no longer possible
In this case, the known toll systems are no longer able to guarantee correct payment

Embodiment Construction

[0020] according to figure 1 According to the toll system SYS of the present invention, in order to determine the position of the vehicle FA1, FA2, it includes a satellite-supported position acquisition system, such as the known "Global Positioning System" or GPS system for short, and a vehicle FA1, FA2. Inertial Navigation System TNS. As will be explained further below, a double toll system can be implemented in a simple manner with the toll system SYS according to the invention.

[0021] In this context, a double toll system is to be understood as a toll system which can be paid without communication with a payment center outside the vehicle directly in a payment device provided for this purpose by the vehicle itself Tolls can again be paid via a settlement center ABZ, wherein in the second case the vehicle must have a payment device that communicates with the settlement center ABZ.

[0022] In order to determine its current position coordinates OKO, the vehicles FA1, FA2 ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for electronically charging tolls, whereby actual position coordinates (OKO) of a vehicle are determined by means of at least one position fixing system, in order to determine if a toll road segment has been taken. Said position coordinates (OKO) are determined at least temporarily by means of a satellite-aided position fixing system (SGS). At least one signature (SIG), which is characteristic of the road segment taken by said vehicle, is calculated by means of said position coordinates of the vehicle (FA1, FA2). Said signature (SIG) permits the determination of whether the road segment taken is a toll road segment or not. At least in case of partial failure of said satellite-aided position fixing system (SGS), the position coordinates are determined by means of an inertial navigation system (TNS).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for electronic toll payment, in which, in order to determine whether a road section to which a toll is due has been traveled, the current position coordinates of the vehicle are determined by means of at least one position determination system, wherein the determination of the position coordinates is at least temporarily is carried out by means of a satellite-supported position determination system. [0002] Furthermore, the invention relates to a toll system for electronic toll payment, which has at least one satellite-supported position determination system for determining the current position coordinates of the vehicle. Background technique [0003] DE 4344433 A1 discloses a toll system of the above-mentioned type and a method. In this known method, the coordinates of the current position are acquired by a GPS receiver and are continuously compared with the entry and exit coordinates of the motorway section stored ...
