Abstract
Digital navigation systems may identify routes with fee-based road segments, such as tolls or vignettes, but may not provide an integrated method for payment. This can result in a fragmented and manual process for drivers with varied and unfamiliar payment systems. A system is described for integrating road usage fee management within a digital navigation service. The system can utilize a route analysis engine to identify fees, a client-side geofencing module on a computing device (e.g., a smartphone, smart watch, wearable device, in-vehicle infotainment system, augmented reality glasses, etc.) To detect a vehicle's entry into a fee-based zone, and a transactional orchestration service to execute payments with tolling authorities. Automating the identification, calculation, and payment of road usage fees within the navigation workflow can reduce manual driver intervention during transit.
