A METHOD AND A DEVICE FOR THE REGISTRATION OF A VEHICLE IN A ROAD TOLL

摘要

Registering of vehicles in a road toll facility provided with radio transmitter and receiver equipment for microwaves arranged to communicate with vehicle units provided in the vehicles, preferably with a transponder. On command from the road toll facility, identity is obtained from the road toll facility and a toll debiting operation is performed. When a vehicle enters the toll facility it is detected by means of the activation of the toll facility radio equipment if the vehicle is provided with a vehicle unit and if it is in function for the performance of a correct payment maneuver. Vehicles for which such cannot take place are exposed to a successive position determination by means of video cameras through an image processing in which the vehicle in question is tracked between a predetermined recording site and the position where the payment status of the vehicle has been established by means of the radio equipment. In the recording site the number plate of the vehicle is recorded for identification by means of a video camera, which identification in conjunction with data such as time and place is used for search and for post-debiting of the toll.
