Abstract (en)

An on-board unit (2) is configured to determine its position on a map based on signals received from a satellite system (1) when the on-board unit (2) is in an operating mode. The map designates at least tolling zones (5) and/or non-tolling zones (6). The on-board unit (2) remains in the operating mode when it is detected that the on-board unit (2) is in a tolling zone (5). The shortest distance to the closest tolling zone entry and/or the estimated time needed to arrive at the closest tolling zone entry is determined when it is detected that the on-board unit (2) is in a non-tolling zone (6). The on-board unit (2) changes from the operating mode into a low power mode when the determined distance is longer than a predefined distance and/or the estimated time is longer than a predefined time, and changes at least partially from the low power mode into the operating mode after a predefined time has elapsed.
