On Board Equipment for DSRC Systems

The Electronic Tolling is used in the majority of countries, in special the Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) but with no compatibility between systems/ countries. With the newer sub-standard created by European Committee for Standardization (CEN), the Medium Data Rate (MDR) enables the enhancement of communications between systems/countries. This paper proposes an On-Board Equipment (OBE) capable of communicating with DSRC-MDR system using low-level software to simplify hardware. Moreover, this proposed OBE offers the possibility to transfer non-standard data through an external port available. Therefore, this OBE can be used has a DSRC data terminal controlled by a host.
