eTOLLING
eTolling
For truck drivers, toll roads are a part of everyday life. However, stopping at multiple toll points can greatly affect the overall schedule and staffing toll roads is often cost prohibitive. With eTolling, less road infrastructure is needed and roads and highways keep moving. Using a Cinterion wireless module and a SIM card, when a truck passes the 'begin of highway'-sign, data is transferred from the on-board unit to the central server of the toll service provider.
Case summary
When using an embedded Cinterion module and a SIM card on-board, data is transferred from the on-board unit to the central server of the toll service provider, as soon as a truck passes the 'begin of highway'-sign. All tolling relevant information such as vehicle identification number, emission class of the truck, number of axles, GPS position and kilometers driven on the highway is automatically transmitted. Automatic hand-over between the GSM base-stations along the highway ensures a permanent data connection to the central eTolling system. When leaving the highway and entering the city, eTolling and data transmission stop automatically and a “one day congestion charge” is applied for city driving. eTolling saves precious times for truck drivers and increases revenue for municipalities by tracking and taxing city vehicle traffic.
