Abstract
A device located in a vehicle for the registration of fees. It includes an activation unit for remote communications, a time counter, a sensor for sensing the traveling status of the vehicle from travel to immobility, a maneuvering unit for starting and stopping the registration of the parking time, a registration unit for the vehicle fees and preferably a signal unit for indication of whether the vehicle fees are registered. The time counter is arranged to register cost in dependence on time partly during periods when the sensor indicates movement in the vehicle and partly when the maneuvering unit indicates parking position of the vehicle, where no fee registration occurs when the sensor indicates that the vehicle is running and the maneuvering unit is not set on parking position. The sensor is an accelerometer.
