摘要

The invention relates to a method for electronically processing a traffic violation of a vehicle, which comprises an onboard unit having a transceiver, an input device and an output device. The method includes transmitting a traffic violation message from a beacon to the transceiver of the onboard unit and outputting the traffic violation message on the output device of the onboard unit; accepting a user selection concerning two options via the input device of the onboard unit; if the user selection indicates the first option, transmitting the traffic violation message from the onboard unit to a remote central facility; if the user selection indicates the second option, generating a debit transaction related to the traffic violation and charging the debit transaction against a user account. The invention further relates to an onboard unit for carrying out the method.
