    Abstract: A toll advertisement message (TAM) broadcast from a roadside unit (RSU) is received by a vehicle via V2X communication, the TAM indicating geographic locations of lanes of a roadway for which tolls are due and cost information for traversing the lanes of the roadway. A heading of the vehicle is determined in relation to a TAM reference point indicating a geographic location of a toll gantry. A toll zone boundary region for the vehicle is identified by filtering the geographic locations of the lanes in the TAM to include only those lanes in a travel direction consistent with the heading. A lane straddling algorithm is utilized to identify, for each of the lanes in the travel direction, a respective percentage within each lane that the vehicle is traveling. A tolling usage message (TUM) is sent via the V2X communication, indicating to the RSU the percentage lane usage of the vehicle.

    Abstract: A system includes a processor configured to detect a vehicle key-off. The processor is also configured to delete from a primary memory (“internal memory”) of an electronic control unit an existing software version for which a new software version update exists in a secondary memory of the ECU. The processor is further configured to load the new software version from the secondary memory (“external memory”) into the primary memory and upon detection of a failure during the load, delete the new software version from the primary memory and reload the existing software version from the secondary memory.

    Abstract: Computing vehicle-centric road usage without high definition (HD) road maps is performed. Road usage charging (RUC) charge geometry rules defining a zone in which RUC are charged are received via a V2X transceiver of a vehicle. The vehicle determines a roadway type based on captured sensor data indicative of the surroundings of the vehicle, the roadway type being selected from a plurality of roadway types including a first roadway type where RUC charge is incurred and a second roadway type where RUC charge is not incurred. The vehicle identifies applicable rules of the RUC charge geometry rules according to a current location of the vehicle, the applicable rules specifying how tariffs are computed for the determined roadway type. The vehicle accumulates, by the vehicle, vehicle RUC charge using vehicle bus data indicative of progress of the vehicle within the zone and the determined roadway type.

    Abstract: An on-board unit of a vehicle includes first and second transceivers. A processor of the vehicle monitors transmissions received from the first and second transceivers, receives an incoming message sent to the processor from the first transceiver, the incoming message being designated for distribution to roadway participants, identifies based on the monitored transmissions whether the second transceiver is in communication with devices of roadway participants available to receive outgoing messages, and if so, construct an outgoing message based on the incoming message and send the outgoing message via the second transceiver, and monitors vehicle network bus traffic to identify a current speed of the vehicle, and responsive to the vehicle moving at least a threshold speed, construct and send vehicle-information outgoing messages including roadway observations of the vehicle, using the first transceiver and the second transceiver, the vehicle-information outgoing messages being designated for distribution to the roadway participants.
