A system for airspace tolling determines a presence of an aerial vehicle in a monitored airspace and determines a unique identity of the aerial vehicle. The system then determines an operator of the aerial vehicle and accesses an account associated with the operator. The system applies a charge to the account of the operator in response to the detection and identification of the aerial vehicle in the monitored airspace.

Airspace tolling

An aircraft tolling system uses tolling tags that are configured for attachment to aerial vehicles. The tolling tags include a data format that can be used by any and all aerial vehicles. The system detects and tracks aerial vehicles in a monitored airspace, and receives data from the aerial vehicles in the monitored airspace. The data include unique identifiers for each of the aerial vehicles in the monitored airspace. The system and device determine operators for the aerial vehicles in the monitored airspace based on a database of aerial vehicle and operator associations, access accounts in the database associated with each of the operators, and apply charges to the accounts associated with each of the operators in response to the reception of the unique identifiers of the aerial vehicles in the monitored airspace.
