Le dispositif d'enregistrement de péage (BE1) présente une unité de réception (EMP) qui est destinée à recevoir des données position du système de détermination de position (PES) et à les transmettre à un dispositif de commande (STE). Ce dispositif de commande (STE) est conçu pour déterminer, sur la base des données position, des coordonnées locales (OKO) actuelles ; pour calculer une signature (SIG) caractéristique d'un trajet parcouru (STR) et, sur la base de la signature (SIG), pour déterminer si le trajet parcouru (STR) est soumis à une taxe de péage. Si le trajet parcouru (STR) est effectivement soumis à une taxe de péage, le dispositif de commande (STE) permet également de vérifier sur la base d'une autorisation utilisateur (BER) enregistrée dans une mémoire (SPR) si le véhicule (FAR) est autorisé à emprunter ce trajet (STR).
