    Abstract: A method for detecting wheels of a vehicle on a road comprises directing a vehicle classification sensor onto a section of the road and recording a 3D representation of the vehicle, directing a camera onto the section and recording a source 2D image, determining a bounding box circumscribing the 3D representation, a side and four corner points of said bounding box side, identifying corner points in a source 2D image plane, defining four corner points of a rectangle in a destination 2D image plane, calculating a projective transformation between the source corner image points and the destination corner image points, transforming source 2D image pixels to destination 2D image pixels of a first destination 2D image, and detecting the wheels using the destination 2D image.

    Abstract: An Intelligent Transportation System, ITS, service station is disclosed. The ITS service station has: a receiver having an area of radio coverage and configured to receive a first Collective Perception Message, CPM, from a first ITS station at a first position within the coverage area, the first CPM including first sensor data on at least one first free space area perceived by the first ITS station; an aggregator configured to aggregate said first sensor data with at least one second sensor data on at least one second free space area into a third sensor data, which second sensor data is received via the receiver in a second CPM from a second ITS station at a second position within the coverage area or is determined by a sensor of the ITS service station; and a transmitter configured to broadcast said third sensor data in a third CPM.

    Abstract: Methods for tolling locations of a vehicle having a license plate number are performed by means of a tolling system. The tolling system has a camera at each location to be tolled, a server, a user terminal, linked by a network, and a database The method includes: generating one or more tolling records, each including a picture of the vehicle taken by one of the cameras, the location of the camera, and a license plate number read by optical character recognition from the picture, and storing the tolling records in the database; sending a confirmation request to the user terminal including the read license plate number and location information dependent on the locations in the tolling records; and receiving a response from the user terminal and, if the response confirms the request, deleting the pictures from the tolling records in the database. Alternative embodiments include pre-/post-registration of locations to toll.

    Abstract: Described are an on board unit (OBU) and a method to control an OBU within a communication zone of a road side unit (RSU), said OBU can be set into an active mode and a sleep mode. Said OBU is set into sleep mode upon receiving a release command from said RSU, and the OBU electronics are shut down so no or a minimum of power is consumed, and is set into active mode when entering said communication zone. A communication unit of said OBU is thereby powered such that the OBU can communicate with said RSU. Said OBU can be set into a tracking mode by said RSU, whereby in said tracking mode at least said communication unit is shut down and a timer is activated in said OBU, such that said OBU can restart said communication unit within a specified time limit from when it is shut down.

    Abstract: An onboard unit for a vehicular identification system is disclosed herein. The onboard unit comprises a housing attachable to an exterior surface of a vehicle's windscreen, a transceiver, and a processor coupled to the transceiver and configured to communicate with the identification system via the transceiver. The transceiver and processor are contained in the housing. The onboard unit comprises a tampering protection unit which is split into a first part which is contained in the housing and a second part which is attachable to an inner surface of the windscreen. The first and the second part each comprise a limited range communication module for communication between each other. The tampering protection unit is configured to detect a loss of communication between both communication modules and, upon detection, to trigger an alarm event.
