Abstract: A first toll advertisement message (TAM) is broadcast from a roadside unit (RSU), the first TAM indicating geographic locations of lanes of a roadway for which tolls are due and payment information for traversing the lanes of the roadway. A tolling usage message (TUM) is received from a first priority vehicle in receipt of the first TAM, the TUM including a request to reallocate one or more of the lanes of the roadway for use by the first priority vehicle. Responsive to receipt of the TUM, the RSU sends a TUM acknowledgment to the first priority vehicle indicating a lane allocation for use by the first priority vehicle and broadcasts a second TAM indicating the geographic locations of lanes of the roadway for which the tolls are due, the payment information for traversing the lanes of the roadway, and the lane allocation.

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: Smart tolling leakage prevention is provided. A TUM is stored to a TUM database, the TUM including information with respect to traversal of a vehicle along a roadway for which charges are incurred for travel. The TUM is sent, via a transceiver of the vehicle, to a road-side unit (RSU) in communication with a tolling system. A toll receipt message (TRM) is received, via the transceiver, from the tolling system. The TUM is reconciled with the TRM. A status of the reconciling is indicated.

Abstract: An on-board unit (OBU) of a vehicle receives one or more data messages indicative of intersection geometry for an upcoming intersection along a roadway being traversed by the vehicle and traffic control status of a traffic control of the intersection. An outbound direction for the vehicle through the intersection is identified. A first traffic message is sent to preempt the traffic control to allow the vehicle to perform a maneuver to traverse the intersection in the outbound direction. The maneuver is indicated as complete and a second traffic message is sent to discontinue the preempt of the traffic control.
