Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for automated Fahrumbleneinbuchung, in particular for toll collection.
- the invention further relates to a route analysis device, which is particularly suitable for use in an apparatus for automated route booking.
- road pricing systems also known as tolls
- Two types are distinguished here, namely systems for general and route-dependent toll collection.
- a toll collection system which is based on short distance communication with the aid of so-called beacon systems.
- beacon systems are characterized in that a microwave transmitter is implemented in a vehicle.
- the passing vehicles which are equipped with a microwave transmitter, detect and report to a central office to calculate the tolls incurred can.
- the toll collection system is based on complex onboard systems.
- On-board systems include onboard units (OBU) installed in vehicles.
- the on-board units evaluate up-to-date location information, which is acquired, for example, by means of a GPS navigation system. With the aid of stored map data, the onboard unit calculates the distance traveled and determines from this the passable toll sections which are then sent to a central station.
- OBU onboard units
- Onboard systems can be seen in the fact that the onboard units installed in vehicles are technically complex and therefore expensive devices.
- the map data stored in on-board units must be constantly updated as the road geometries change.
- the planned route In the case of a third toll collection system, the planned route must be checked in manually via the Internet or by means of stationary terminals before departure. This will usually be data on the
- Toll collection systems that require manual route booking have the disadvantage that, as soon as the driver leaves the booked route, either the Internet has to be booked in via the new route or, for example, a petrol station has to be approached, at which a stationary terminal is installed on which the new route can be booked and paid.
- the invention has for its object to provide a novel method and a novel device for automated route booking and a route analysis device, which avoid the disadvantages of the above-mentioned toll collection systems.
- An essential core idea of the invention is to provide road users cost-effective on-board units available and to facilitate the booking in particular of toll roads by a planned route, also called route, can be automatically booked in a central facility without the Customer must be self-employed.
- An automated booking of routes takes place in particular even if a new route must be determined after a vehicle has left the currently planned route.
- the invention solves the above-mentioned problem on the one hand by the method steps of claim 1.
- Toll collection Before driving, for example, the driver of a vehicle enters a destination at an input device.
- the input device may or may not be installed in the vehicle.
- a current, planned route is determined by a navigation device.
- the starting location may be the current location of a vehicle, which may be determined automatically by the navigation device.
- Navigation device may be a GPS (Global Positioning System) capable device.
- GPS Global Positioning System
- the current route determined by the navigation device is transmitted to a route analysis device which preferably divides the current route into at least one route section as a function of a predetermined property. If the predetermined property relates to a toll, the route analysis device subdivides the route into the associated toll road sections.
- Each section of the route is automatically registered in an evaluation device.
- Registered legs may be evaluated for a predetermined parameter, which may be a toll.
- the evaluation device may be part of a toll system, which is the one for a calculated toll incurred toll charged the customer and charged to the customer.
- a new route to the destination can be determined.
- the newly determined route is automatically transferred to the route analysis device without the customer having to take action.
- the route analysis device In the route analysis device, the current and the newly determined route is compared. Furthermore, the route analysis device causes the unused, that is not passed, sections of the current route to be canceled and the added route section of the newly determined route to be automatically registered.
- An important advantage for the driver or the forwarder is that he does not have to worry about the actually used route, even if the route is changed. Because the registration, cancellation and evaluation of sections is done automatically.
- additional parameters in particular the time, traffic disruptions, route lengths, fuel costs and the like can be considered.
- the current route is checked at predetermined times and, if necessary, a new route to the destination is determined.
- a new route to the destination entered can also be determined when a road user leaves the current route.
- the destination and optionally further preferred positions can be entered manually at an input device or via an automated interface.
- the automated interface ensures that the destination to
- Navigation device and optionally automatically transmitted to a navigation server.
- Route analysis device determined route sections transmitted to a customer-specific control device.
- the control device is designed such that it can calculate the height of the toll on the basis of the actually used sections.
- a first navigation device is used to determine a route in dependence on a starting location and the entered destination.
- the input device can also be implemented separately from the navigation device in the form of an automatic interface, for example in the office of a freight forwarder.
- a second navigation device can be installed in a vehicle and designed to transmit position data, while the first navigation device is assigned to the route analysis device and designed to determine a route in response to position data received from the second navigation device.
- the input device is formed with a wired or wireless interface for automatically transmitting the destination to the first navigation device.
- the input device and the first navigation device may be formed as a unit and installed in a vehicle.
