This invention describes a system within an electric vehicle that tracks its own road usage. It uses location data to figure out where the vehicle has traveled, identifies specific geographical areas it passed through, and then creates a record of this travel. This record includes the vehicle's ID, timestamps, and details about the areas visited, specifically for road usage monitoring.
Why it matters: Since 2022, the push for mileage-based user fees and road usage charging for electric vehicles has intensified globally. This invention's focus on in-vehicle road usage monitoring and billing data generation directly addresses the growing need for equitable and implementable solutions for EV road funding.
