Abstract
A toll payment apparatus for a vehicle includes a synchronizer, an occupant data obtainer, and a vehicle processor. The synchronizer is configured to synchronize with a communicator of an occupant of the vehicle and acquire, from the communicator of the occupant, payment data of the occupant and identification data of the occupant. The occupant data obtainer is configured to acquire occupant data from the occupant. The vehicle processor is configured to perform a comparison between the identification data and the occupant data when the synchronizer synchronizes with the communicator of the occupant after a start up of the vehicle, and validate a payment that is based on the payment data when the vehicle processor determines that the occupant is a person identified by the payment data.
