Abstract
In a toll system for paying a fee for allowing a vehicle to use a road network, a random generator generates a random character string and transmits it to an electronic payment system and to a monitoring device for an on-road check on a usage authorization of vehicles using the road network. A user registers with the payment system in order to acquire a usage authorization and inputs a registration number of the vehicle intended for use. The payment system generates a hash value and transmits it to an electronic operator system of a toll operator. The monitoring device records a registration number of the vehicle and generates the hash value from the registration number and the currently valid character string. The operator system checks whether the hash value from the monitoring device matches a hash value from the payment system.
