20090307151 | Method and device for automatically reconstruction and analyzing a travelled route - A method and device are provided concerning automatic reconstruction and evaluation of a traveled route, e.g., for offboard toll recording. In an embodiment, cost-effective onboard units, i.e., mobile telephony devices installed in a vehicle, are provided which record the position information, compress the recorded position information, and transmit the compressed position data to a main station. The main station is then able to reconstruct from the compressed position data the route a vehicle has actually traveled. An evaluation of the position information, e.g., for determining tolls, is carried out in a separate device. Since position data, digital maps and other operating data are now administered and processed in a central device, these data may be adapted in a simple and rapid manner, e.g., when updating the road geometries. | 12-10-2009 |
