Abstract

A vehicle transmits vehicle data to an observer entity when the vehicle and the observer entity are in proximity. The vehicle data includes unique vehicle identification information; proximity is defined by an upper threshold for a distance between the vehicle and the observer entity. The observer entity adds data to the vehicle data, the added data including an indication of a position of the observer entity and a time stamp indicating a time of reception of the vehicle data to generate joint data. The joint data is transmitted to an external database and the aforementioned steps are repeated. From the added data a usage estimation value is calculated which is a measure for usage of the vehicle and which is compared with the vehicle usage data retrieved from the vehicle. Information on validity of the vehicle usage data based on the comparison result is generated and output.
