Abstract
A procedure for operating a toll collection device (10) and a toll collection device (10) are proposed, in which a switch from an active operating mode of the toll collection device (10), in which a toll collection function is enabled, to a passive operating mode of the toll collection device (10), in which the toll collection function is disabled, occurs if a communication connection between the toll collection device (10) and a toll control center (40) cannot be established repeatedly. For this purpose, the toll collection device (10) repeatedly performs communication connection tests in active operating mode. If these tests fail twice, the device registers errors, and if the communication connection tests fail repeatedly, time-dependent and / or distance-dependent errors accumulate.If a predetermined error quota is exhausted during the accumulation of errors, the toll collection device (10) switches to passive operating mode.
