Toll Collect
Intelligent toll collection with the first satellite-based system: Toll Collect
Toll Collect GmbH is the company in charge of operating the world's first satellite-based toll system. T-Systems is now responsible for the development, integration, installation and operation of the core components of the central Toll Collect system. As a subsidiary of T-Systems (Deutsche Telekom AG), Satellic brings together the know-how behind the toll system and promotes its technological advancement.
With the end-to-end solution, Satellic supplies an integrated and complex development that meets the high standards of a process-oriented, state-of-the-art technical implementation concept.
The Toll Collect system is used to record information and account for more than 900.000 vehicles, including over 640.000 equipped with a built-in electronic device known as an On-Board Unit (OBU). Protecting personal data is a top priority in the development and operation of the entire system.
The satellite-based Toll Collect system does not require any road-side equipment and enables a free-flow-traffic on German motorways and federal roads. In contrast to conventional toll systems, there is no need for vehicle speed restrictions, stops or special toll lanes. More than 100 billion kilometers have been recorded and invoiced to customers.

- 12.500 km on highway
