Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system including vehicles and fuel dispensing stations.
  • a system including vehicles and fuel dispensing stations, wherein the vehicles and the stations include means whereby the cost of fuel is adjusted automatically in dependence on electronic information related to at least one of: the route of the vehicle; the date; the day of the week; the time of day; an indication of shared utilisation of the vehicle at least in part via a removable data transfer device; and the nature of the vehicle.
  • a system including vehicles and fuel dispensing stations, wherein the vehicles include means comprising an electronic data store and communication devices within the vehicle for processing data defining physical characteristics relating to the consumption of fuel in dependence on the route of the vehicle, the date, the day of the week, the time, the nature of the vehicle and an indication of shared utilisation.
  • the present invention also comprises, on the one hand, means for use in a vehicle for adapting it to be used in such a system and, on the other hand, data processing means for use in a fuel dispensing station for adapting it to be used in such a system.
  • portable controlling means comprising a data store which can receive information from vehicles and fuel dispensing stations, carrying information relating to the identity of the vehicle, vehicle fuel utilisation and - 2 - vehicle utilisation, adapted for vehicle security and during payment for, or purchase of, a service or commodity.
  • Figure 1 is a block diagram showing communication interfaces in one example of a system according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a schematic view of a fuel station/vehicle interface arrangement of the system
  • Figure 3 shows a vehicle's data processing arrangement in the system
  • Figure 4 shows an arrangement of a local taxation transmitter network and road side activators.
  • the following example relates to the installation within vehicles of a system to enable electronic verification of "vehicle identity and legality" inter-linked with a system for detailed data collection of "fuel utilisation”.
  • the system to be described allows for the time, date and the location in which vehicle fuel is consumed to directly affect the tax which is collected when the vehicle is next refuelled.
  • the system is designed to interface with existing vehicle fuel management systems.
  • the system enables variable and complex control of traffic volumes and increases vehicle security in all areas of any country with suitably equipped vehicles and fixed installations .
  • the functionality to collect tolls without the need to stop vehicles to collect money is also a feature of the system.
  • the system offers taxation control of traffic volume by:-
  • Vehicle sharing Vehicle number plate verified.
  • the system offers vehicle security by verifying via a central database before fuel is dispensed that the vehicle: -
  • the system is designed to interface with existing vehicle security systems.
  • a vehicle's identity is established from two sources, one being from data contained on a removable "smart card", the other being from a “vehicle short range data transmitter receiver” (V. S .R.D.T.R. ) .
  • the smart card immobilises the vehicle.
  • the smart card may be removed and inserted in other vehicles.
  • a "host” vehicle may receive a number of “guest” smart cards. This will enable tax concessions to be given to both the host vehicle smart card and the guest card or cards .
  • the system thereby simultaneously encourages vehicle sharing through taxation savings and ensures that vehicles accruing taxation savings when not in use (through car sharing) are immobilised.
  • Item 7 is a fuel taxation IT system. This system would be under the control of central Government and would set and control the levels of fuel tax payable. Taxation would be calculated using a number of variable options. These include:
  • tax savings on cost of fuel used per litre compared to standard rate would be redeemable as a fuel discount.
  • Tax increases on fuel used per litre above the standard tax rate would be collected or billed. This would be an immediate and very visible encouragement to vehicle users to optimise vehicle usage.
  • Item 8 is a local transmission system used to adjust the amount of tax payable in areas of high congestion. The same system could be used to relay information on traffic conditions (see Figure 4 for a representation of a typical local transmission network) .
  • the collection of tolls for specific roads or crossings would be enabled via use of a roadside transmission 41 to the passing vehicle's V.S.R.D.T.R. 15. The next time the vehicle is refuelled, the cost of the toll would be recovered and electronically transferred to the appropriate company. Alternatively, the bill could be forwarded to the vehicle owner for payment at a later date. - 6 -
  • item 9 is a fuel station IT system.
  • the general relationship between the C.V.R.D., the fuel station IT system and a vehicle are shown in Figure 2.
  • a vehicle data processing system 33 activates its V.S.R.D.T.R. 15 and a signal is received by a fuel station short range data transmitter receiver (F.S.S.R.D.T.R. ) 13.
  • the fuel station IT system 9 receives the following data.
  • the vehicle's identity code The vehicle's identity code.
  • the time and date in the memory of the vehicle's processor are the time and date in the memory of the vehicle's processor.
  • the fuel station IT system 9 contacts the C.V.R.D. to verify that the vehicle is legal as identified from its identity code.
  • the driver inserts the vehicle's smart card 12 into a fuel pump 11.
  • the fuel station IT system 9 then establishes that the vehicle and the smart card are legally related.
  • the smart card contains a "variable code" which is changed every time the vehicle is refuelled by the C.V.R.D. This would ensure security is maintained even in the event that illegal but functional copies of vehicle software and hardware systems are manufactured.
  • the variable code would - 7 - be checked to identify that the vehicle and smart card are uniquely related and therefore legal. (If a complete copy of a vehicle system and smart card were to be produced once one of the vehicles had refuelled, its variable smart card code would be changed. When a second vehicle with identical information attempted to refuel, its variable smart card code would not match the C.V.R.D record and would be signalled as illegal) .

No taxation savings can be made on the transaction. Taxation would continue to be logged by the vehicle data processing system 33, for collection when the smart card 12 is replaced or the V.S.R.D.T.R. 15 is replaced or repaired. For inoperative systems, an additional or default value of taxation would be applied to the cost of the fuel consumed per litre to discourage deliberate damage to the vehicle's systems .

  • Activation of the fuel pump is dependent on compliance with data integrity requirements identified above as signalled to the fuel station IT system 9 by the C.V.R.D. and by the number of such transactions recorded by the C.V.R.D., the number of such transactions being limited to a figure set by the C.V.R.D. Taxation accrued on fuel used would be permanently lost if the vehicle data processing system 33 's data cannot be recovered when examined for repair and fuel tax would therefore be charged at the default rate.

Therefore, the design is to allow for the number of occupied slots to be counted by the data processor 23. Utilisation of the functionality will be at the discretion of the taxation legislators.
