Definitions
- the invention relates to a toll system, a vehicle device and a method for detecting errors in a vehicle-carried vehicle device of a toll system according to the preambles of the independent claims.
- In-vehicle equipment used for toll collection and carried in a vehicle are accordingly adapted to detect position data of positions of the vehicle and to process the position data and / or data derived from the position data for the purpose of collecting a vehicle-related toll fee in accordance with a plurality of state variables of the vehicle device Vehicle is to be raised, which is identifiable on the basis of the detected position data.
- either the vehicle device itself depending on a plurality of state variables of the vehicle device by collecting at least one used by the vehicle toll road surface based on the position data and / or from the position data derived data levy a vehicle related toll for the use of the identified traffic area by the vehicle or a central data processing device of the toll system which has received from the vehicle device the position data and / or data derived from the position data as a result of processing the position data and / or data derived from the position data based on the detected position data and / or data derived from the position data levy a vehicle-related toll for the use of the identified traffic area by the vehicle.
- the state variables of the vehicle device are such that they influence the processing of the position data or the data derived from the position data-for example, enable or prevent it-in the sense that the result of the processing depends on the state variables.
- a state variable may be a registered identifier of the vehicle device or the vehicle needed to obtain an allocation of a toll to the vehicle using the toll road surface.
- Another state variable may be a registered operational readiness state of the vehicle device for which, in the event of a lack of operational readiness, a dedicated processing of the position data or data derived from the position data is prevented.
- In-vehicle toll collection systems typically have a variety of state variables that affect toll collection.
- the values of these state variables are stored in a memory of the vehicle device in the form of output data generated in response to received or generated input data.
- input data of the vehicle device can be supplied via an interface or generated by the vehicle device itself.
- the vehicle device can receive input data whose processing then results in a change of the output data, with the result that a changed value of the affected state variables is stored in the vehicle device.
- the vehicle device in operation itself Generate input data, the processing then also has a change of the output data with the result that a changed value of the state variables concerned is stored in the vehicle device.
- a particular value of a state variable may result in a toll being no longer levied or being levied incorrectly or being allocated to the correct vehicle. Such a certain value can be correct. Due to the complex processing of input data, under unforeseen circumstances that can not be remedied, such a particular value may not be correct. Thus, changing a value of a state variable without the prerequisites necessary for it - as well as maintaining a value of a state variable which has become invalid due to changed boundary conditions or input data - has an unjustified influence on the toll collection - in other words an error. In the interest of both the toll operator and the user, it must be determined in such a case that there is a mistake and, if so, in whose area of responsibility he falls. Thus, an error may be due to the vehicle equipment of the toll operator or the lack of cooperation of the user.
- the present invention has set itself the task of detecting such erroneous values of a state variable of a vehicle device of a toll system.
- the invention provides for the detection of erroneous state variables of a tolling vehicle device, input data from which the vehicle device output data in the form of a value of the state variables are generated in an event log and store the output data in a status protocol to then starting from to be tested

- the time range for the search for prohibited input or output data may be arranged temporally according to the respective time value of the status information or event message to be checked, because on the basis of event messages or status information to be checked, certain subsequent event messages or status information should not occur, and the time range for the Search for expected input or output data to be arranged in time before the respective time value of the status information or event message to be checked, because the existence of the status information or event messages to be checked presupposes the presence of specific input or output data of preceding event messages or status information.
- the time range for the search for prohibited input or output data can also be arranged before the respective time value of the status information or event message to be checked, because on the basis of event messages or status information to be checked, certain preceding event messages or status information must not occur, their forbidden input data being different Output data than the status information to be checked or their prohibited output data would have generated input data other than that of the event message to be checked.
- the time range for the search nach.zu expected input or output data can be arranged in time to the respective time value of the status information or event message to be checked, because on the basis of checking event messages or status information specific subsequent event messages or status information should occur. The temporal readjustment or preposition of the time range does not rule out that the respective time value of the status information or event message to be checked forms a lower or upper limit of the relevant time range.

- the central processor 51 is configured to generate a toll system error message when none or all of the event messages whose input data are indicative of registration of the registered tag are present in the said 10 second time range in the event log and generate a user error message if all Event messages whose input data are authoritative for registering the registered vehicle license plate are present in the said 10-second time range in the event log.
- the central processor 51 is designed to check according to the set of rules whether one or more event messages with input data leading to the registration of the registered axle class are present in the transmitted event log and whose event time value is not earlier than 10 seconds before and not later than the status time value of the registered axis class.
- the central processor 51 is configured to generate a toll system error message when none or all of the event messages whose input data is authoritative for registration of the registered axle class are present in the said 10 second time range in the event log and generate a user error message if all Event messages whose input data are relevant for registering the registered axle class are present in the said 10-second time range in the event log.
