METHOD FOR DETERMINING A ROUTE IN A NETWORK OF ROUTES AND FOR DETERMINING THE TOLL TO BE PAID FOR THE USE OF SAID ROUTE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for determining a route and the toll to be paid for the use of said route, taking into consideration the starting point and a destination in a predetermined network of routes. According to said method, a data processing device carries out the following steps: acceptance of starting point information and destination information; determination of a reference route from the starting point to the destination, taking into consideration route information that is stored in a data memory; definition of a characteristic value for the reference route that has been determined and storage of the same in a data memory; determination of a possible alternative route from the starting point to the destination, taking into consideration route information that has been stored in a data memory; definition of a characteristic value that is assigned to said alternative route and storage of the same in a data memory; comparison of the characteristic value assigned to the alternative route with the characteristic value assigned to the reference route; assignment of the alternative route to a pool of permissible routes, as long as the deviation of the characteristic value assigned to the alternative route from the characteristic value assigned to the reference route lies within a tolerance range and storage of the pool in a data memory; and output of the toll to be paid taking into consideration one of the characteristic values that has been determined.
