General 

The toll system records survey data on toll roads and transmits them to the toll recording system e.g. by radio data.

Currently the ETC toll system in Japan, "Hi-Pass" in South Korea and the toll system in China are supported.

Function requirements 

• Circuit 15R on
• The toll system is switched on.

The toll system can be switched on and off in Japan and South Korea using the multimedia system control. In China, a Bluetooth® connection to the user's smartphone is required to activate the toll system.

• Japan, South Korea: The ETC/"Hi-Pass" card is located in the control unit for Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC).
• China: The user carries a smartphone with activated access to the toll system with them. The control unit for DSRC has established a Bluetooth® connection to the user's smartphone.

Function 

Data is exchanged between the control unit for DSRC and the toll station via the DSRC antenna.

ETC/"Hi-Pass" 

For data to be exchanged between the control unit for DSRC and the toll station, the control unit for DSRC requires an ETC/"Hi-Pass" card on which user data is stored. The control unit for DSRC also stores evidence that fees have already been paid on the ETC/"Hi-Pass" card.

The control unit for DSRC forwards messages in the toll system to the media display and to a speaker (not in South Korea) via the multimedia system control. In South Korea, the speaker output is through the speaker integrated in the control unit for DSRC.

For example, a message can be issued in the following cases:

• Payment completed successfully
• Fault in the communication with the tollbooth
• ETC/"Hi-Pass" card read error
• Error with ETC/"Hi-Pass" card reader
• ETC/"Hi-Pass" card not accepted
• ETC/"Hi-Pass" card not inserted
• No detailed information regarding the recent fee payments

China toll system 

The Bluetooth® button on the control unit for DSRC is used to establish a Bluetooth® connection to the user's smartphone. Display and operation is carried out via the user's smartphone.
