The latter can forward received message, generate and forward the activated message during the activation process, and display the message as information to the driver. A satellite based positioning system is further provided within a single unit, which also enables calculation of toll charge (Electronic Toll Collection). Independent claims are also included for a method of automated communication and a computer program for performing processing and control functions.
