Definitions
- the present invention relates to a vehicle device, a toll center and a method for collecting a toll for the use of a toll road through a toll vehicle.
- tolling systems are dependent on the collection of the route of the respective toll vehicles at least in the area which is decisive for the use of the toll road.
- the vehicle positions in the toll collection system operated by the German toll operator Toll Collect GmbH are regularly recorded in the area of the driveway to the respective toll area and the departure from this traffic area.
- Toll data is here understood to mean data associated with a user of tollable traffic areas and / or tolls, which are determined by a toll recognition and / or toll determination.
- Toll relevant data are all data that are included in the determination of the toll, such as the identifier and / or the length of the toll road surface and the vehicle data such as weight, number of axles and pollutant class.
- At least one toll-relevant data record is usually coupled with a basic charge or charge rate, which, in conjunction with the other toll-relevant data, permits the determination of the total charge for toll collection.
- toll recognition is technically understood the process of linking a used, on the basis of the detected vehicle position (s) recognized, toll road surface with the user. In other words, it is understood to associate the user for the first time with a used toll road surface.
- toll determination is technically understood the process of determining a toll from the used or perspective to be used toll road surface, possibly taking into account toll-related vehicle data and times.
- Tolling is understood herein to be technically the process of collecting certain tolls from the user whose vehicle has been proven to use or prospectively use the toll road, for example by taking cash such as at a toll station, by central debiting an account or by decentralized deduction of a pre-paid credit on a chip card arranged in a vehicle device.
- a toll fee is due.
- the determination of the amount of the toll for example, according to measured on the toll road surface, for example, in meters, according to the number of used toll sections or lump sum or time for the use of a specific toll route network, such as a city toll, take place.
- the toll can be determined, for example, by calculating the toll or by reading the relevant toll from a database.
- a position determining device is again provided in the vehicle or a vehicle device, which transmit the position data to a toll center and the toll recognition, the toll determination and the toll collection are carried out in the toll center.
- a GNSS receiver in the vehicle detects the position of the vehicle via a GNSS system and a DSRC receiver in the vehicle can receive positions from roadside equipment.
- the toll recognition can be carried out in the vehicle unit or in the toll center. If toll recognition is carried out outside the vehicle unit, only position data which carries out toll recognition is transmitted to the toll center. The collection of the toll takes place after driving on the toll road section.
- toll collection systems which dispense with the use of GNSS receivers and perform position determination and toll recognition exclusively via roadside vehicle detection devices.
- the toll vehicle sends to the roadside vehicle detection device a corresponding identification signal.
- the identification signals received by the road-side vehicle detection devices are transmitted to a toll center, which determines the toll on this basis and raises the toll.
- the collection of the toll takes place after driving on the toll road section.
- toll center this is always referred to as a toll center.
- the toll can also be charged by a separate toll service.
- Vehicle-side vehicle devices which are also referred to as OBUs (on-board units), have proven useful for individual and largely automatic detection of the use of the toll roads, which have a position-determining device for position detection of the vehicle or are coupled to a position-determining device provided in the vehicle.
- the vehicle devices can accordingly determine and / or detect the position of the respective vehicle subject to tolling and detect, on the basis of map material stored in the vehicle device, whether the vehicle is on a toll road. If this is the case, a toll fee for the use of the determined toll road surface is determined by the vehicle device and the corresponding toll data, which include the determined fee, transmitted to a toll center.
- the toll due can then be collected in the toll center, either by calculating the toll from the transmitted route data or by using the transmitted charge data.
- the due toll will then be charged to the respective user or deducted from an existing credit.
- the user In order to enable a proper toll collection, the user must initialize the vehicle device before departure and enter, among other vehicle data, such as the total weight of the vehicle, its emission class and the current number of axles. Based on this, the vehicle unit, taking into account the position of the toll vehicle determined by the position determination device and the adjustment of the position of the toll vehicle with a database in which the toll roads are deposited, determines the toll incurred for the respective journey and transmits this toll data at the latest Fulfillment of a certain criterion, for example when leaving the toll route, to the toll center.
- vehicle data such as the total weight of the vehicle, its emission class and the current number of axles.
- the position data determined over the course of the journey by the position-determining device and recorded by the vehicle device are transmitted continuously or when a specific criterion, such as the achievement of a predetermined amount of data at position data, to the toll center is met.
- the toll for the toll vehicle to be paid for this journey is then determined and collected centrally in the toll center on the basis of the vehicle data and the toll road traffic areas recognized as traffic from the position data.
- This method of collecting the toll data in which the user of the toll vehicle only has to initialize the vehicle device and then the detection of the route, the transmission of the toll data to the toll center, as well as the collection of the toll after initialization are carried out without further user input is also referred to as automatic procedure (AV).
- AV automatic procedure
- the toll is determined in this process only after driving on the respective toll section and thereby charged that it is charged accordingly or deducted from a deposited or pre-paid credit.
- the vehicle device carried by the vehicle subject to toll recognizes according to the comparison of position data, which were determined by means of the position determining device with stored in a database map data, whether, and if so, which toll road section is traveled.
- a toll road section is then stored in a storage device of the vehicle device.
- toll sections are stored section by section in the storage device in the vehicle unit and then transmitted as toll data upon the occurrence of a predetermined criterion, for example, after exceeding a predetermined number of stored sections, to the toll center.
- the toll determination takes place on this basis either in the toll center or in the vehicle unit. In the latter case, the toll to be collected is then transferred to the toll center as toll data.
- the right to use the traveled, toll section is then acquired step by step after driving through each toll section, the toll charged via the toll center after leaving the toll section and transmitting the relevant data to the toll center becomes.

- MV manual procedure
- the respective user can use one of the approximately 3600 toll-station terminals, which are typically set up on truck stops, rest areas or petrol stations.
- the manual procedure (MV) can also use a web service on the Internet.
- the user acquires in the manual procedure (MV) a right to use the respective toll section before driving on the toll section or a toll route, which consists of one or more toll sections.
- the user already indicates the planned driveway and the planned departure from the toll road surface before driving on the route at the toll station or in the web service, which then defines the one or more toll road sections of the route.
- the user can also enter via positions in his route, which are taken into account in the determination of the route to be traveled and which are based on the calculation of the toll fee due.
- the user of the manual method (MV) determines accordingly before the actual driving on the toll road sections the route to be traveled and pays the appropriate toll.
- the toll can either be paid directly at the toll booth terminal or on the Internet, or be made available to registered users via the toll center in a monthly collective bill or deducted from an existing credit.
- a booking of a route with the manual procedure results in a fixed route, which the user can not leave without possibly being considered a toll-bumper.
- a change in the route may become necessary, for example, if a section of the route booked is blocked or if a traffic jam occurs that is to be avoided. It may also happen that a user wants to go to additional stations while traveling. If the user wants to change his route after starting the trip booked via the manual procedure, he must do so at a stationary toll terminal so that his actually traveled route remains traceable. The user then has to make a partial cancellation of the booked route and then book the new desired route.
- the position determination device In the vehicle devices or vehicle devices, a highly accurate position determination is possible by means of the position determination device, which has a GNSS receiver which receives specific signals from satellites of a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), which are stationed in Earth orbit and which corresponding position signals send out.

- This embodiment is advantageous if the decentralized communication device of the vehicle device - for example, for security reasons (see above) - only allows unidirectional communication starting from the vehicle device. Then destination choices that were generated by the toll center due to the previously transmitted failure message can be transmitted to the mobile device. There, the user can then make a selection and generate booking data and transmit it to the toll center.
- the mobile device may be a smartphone on which an application is installed, which sets up the computing device of the smartphone accordingly.

- the driver indicates the planned destination (and preferably the route planned there, if several routes are possible) and thus manually books the toll route starting from the last known position of the automatic procedure to the destination.
- the vehicle device here serves as a kind of mobile toll terminal and must be equipped accordingly with a possibility for data input or at least data selection.
- the vehicle device additionally has a user interface communicatively coupled to the decentralized computing device, and the computing device is further configured to display at least one destination selection option at the user interface, to generate destination position data in response to user input to a displayed destination selection facility, and the generated destination location data as part of booking data to the toll center.

- the target position data is transmitted separately from the failure message. This is necessary because the toll center can only send at least one destination selection option to the vehicle facility in response to receiving the one outage message.
- the decentralized computing device is further configured to generate at least one destination selection option itself and display it to a user at the user interface.
- This is a specific destination selection option.
- it may be the nearest service station or the nearest toll terminal.
- This embodiment of the vehicle device has the advantage that the decentralized computing device does not have to receive any data from the outside after the failure. This is particularly advantageous if incoming communication - for example, for security reasons (see above) - is not possible or allowed at all (unidirectional communication) or the incoming communication is restricted.
- the vehicle device then preferably has a memory coupled to the decentralized computing device.
- Data is stored in this memory. These comprise at least one of the following elements: data relating to the toll network, user data, data relating to the vehicle, pre-stored destination positions and map data.
- the decentralized computing device On the basis of the data stored in the memory, and preferably the start position data generated in the event of a failure, the decentralized computing device then generates at least one destination selection option. According to this embodiment, the decentralized computing device then displays to the user the at least one destination selection option at the user interface.

- the number of data to be transmitted separately can be reduced and the initiation process can be accelerated.
- the decentralized computing device autonomously determines a target position which is best according to given criteria and transmits it immediately as part of the failure message to the toll center.

- the decentralized computing device is further configured to retrieve the stored at least one destination selection option from the memory and to display it to a user at the user interface. This is advantageous because the user has already given a destination address in the event of a failure of the monitored operability as a precaution.
- the memory may also be part of a navigation system which is communicatively coupled to the decentralized computing device of the vehicle device. A destination entered in the navigation system can then simply take over the vehicle facility.
- the starting position data are transmitted to the toll center as part of an outage message which is indicative of the failure of the monitored function.
- the one failure message is thus such that it is different from other data received from the toll center. For example, they differ from booking requests, which are transmitted by ordinary toll terminals.
- the starting position data and the destination position data are transmitted to the toll center as part of booking data.
- Booking data includes all the data required to make a booking as part of the manual booking process. If the toll center is set up to self-determine the destination location data (which may include route data), then the booking data need not include destination location data. Otherwise, the booking data also includes the destination location data.
- the booking data may include further toll-relevant data, for example the number of axles of the vehicle and other toll-relevant information.
- the driver receives confirmation from the toll center, for example in the form of an electronic receipt, which receives the vehicle device via the communication device.
- the decentralized communication device only permits unidirectional communication starting from the decentralized communication device. This is to be understood in the sense of a high abstraction in the OSI. In the lower communication layers, of course, data can be exchanged in both directions. Of course, if the distributed communication device communicates according to the GSM standard, data may be exchanged in both directions to establish, maintain and terminate a data connection.
- the decentralized communication device allows bidirectional communication. That is, it also allows two-way communication in the top-level application layer of the OSI reference model. Preferably, however, then incoming communication with the vehicle device is restricted. For example, then the communication might be limited to the data required to perform the manual toll collection process of any of the embodiments below. In particular, it could be limited to receiving a confirmation message or receiving destination selections.
- the restriction of the communication can be implemented on the hardware side or on the software side. Even the decentralized communication device or only the decentralized computing device can be set up so that the communication is limited or prohibited. For example, a kind of firewall may be implemented in the communication device or the computing device.
- the toll center can be a single computer. It can also be a distributed system ("distributed system"). Accordingly, the computing device of the toll center comprises at least one processor with an internal memory. In one embodiment, the computing device is a single, preferably physically delimitable computer. In another embodiment, this is a distributed system, i. to several independent computers that appear to a user as a single coherent system.

- the toll center comprises a storage device, wherein the storage device communicatively communicates with the central computing device of the toll center coupled, the storage device comprises data relating to a toll network, in particular pre-stored destination position data or map material or toll network data, and the computing device is adapted to determine the destination position itself based on the determined start position and the toll network data.
- the central computing device for the determination of the target position is not dependent on further data transmitted by the vehicle device.
- the central computing device determines the target position automatically, ie without further input from the user, be it via the vehicle device or via a mobile telephone or via a service station. This has the advantage that the booking of the route section can be made immediately and without further interaction of the user. The booking is then fast and the user is not distracted from the traffic.

- step S20 the billing in the automatic procedure is performed in a known manner, wherein the corresponding toll data is received from the vehicle facility 200.
- step S24 If, in place of the toll data, position data from the respective vehicle device 200 and / or an outage message are suddenly received in step S22, the further toll determination and toll collection in the manual procedure is carried out in step S24.
- the log-on to the manual procedure with the received position data or with the last known position of the toll vehicle as a starting point is performed in step S25.
- step S22 If no position data and / or no failure message are received in step S22, the survey is continued in the automatic method according to step S20.
- step S26 if the manual operation is performed and the toll center 100 has determined accordingly that the vehicle facility 200 has a toll collection capability, in step S26, the nearest service point address is determined at which the vehicle facility 200 repairs or repairs can be exchanged. The destination address of this next service point is then transmitted in step S28 to the vehicle device 200 for the information of the user on the display 210 of the vehicle device, or sent to a mobile phone or smartphone of the user. Accordingly, the user of the toll vehicle can approach the address of the service point directly without having to stop the vehicle due to the lack of operability having vehicle device 200 and make a manual entry into the manual process.
- the toll center 100 preferably determines the route from the starting point defined via the received position data to the destination address of the service point and stores it as a route booked using the manual method.
- the toll due for this can both the Users are displayed on the display 210 of the vehicle device 200, as well as deducted directly from the user account.
- the toll center 100 may also specify a further manual toll collection terminal as the destination address, so that the respective user can control the toll vehicle legally until the next toll terminal and pay the toll, and then at the toll collection terminal plan the planned route using the manual procedure.
- the user in a signalized failure of the vehicle device 200 and a corresponding switch from the automatic method to the manual method, instead of a predetermined by the toll center 100 destination address in the form of the address of a service point or a toll terminal and a individual address to book.
- the user deselect the transmitted from the toll center 100 destination address of the service point or the toll terminal and indicate instead of specified by the toll center 100 destination address a separate address, for example, provided from the outset destination of the trip.
- a new route is determined in the toll center via the toll areas from the default position to the destination address, the route booked for this user and the toll charged. Any route that has already been booked automatically in the manual procedure, for example to the service point or to the toll terminal, will be canceled or integrated accordingly.
- the deselection of the automatically booked destination address to the service point or the toll terminal can be performed either by a corresponding training of the vehicle device 200 or via a mobile phone or smartphone of the user.
- the deselection of the automatically booked destination address can take place according to the transmission of this to the user.
- the user can also be given the option of selecting either one of the toll center proposed destination address in the form of the nearest service point or the nearest toll terminal or a user-entered, different from the automatically generated addresses destination after completion of the automatic procedure , Only after the selection of the address by the user is then determined in the manual procedure, the route and outgoing determined from the default position or the last known position of the toll vehicle, the route to the specified destination and collected the toll in the manual procedure. Again, the user does not have to interrupt the journey, since the specification or selection of the destination address without interaction with a toll terminal is possible and can also be achieved by voice.
