Method for providing location-specific data services

A method for providing location-specific data services to vehicles that carry onboard units for short-range communication with tolling stations at known locations in a road-tolling system as well as mobile terminals for data reception in a mobile communication network, wherein the onboard units have unique device IDs, the mobile terminals have unique terminal IDs, and the data services have unique service IDs, comprising:

• storing a list of service IDs of data services related to the location of a tolling station, a mapping between the device ID and the terminal ID of a vehicle, and at least one booking of a service ID for a device or terminal ID within the road tolling system;
• transmitting the device ID of an onboard unit passing the tolling station, to the tolling station by short-range communication;
• retrieving the booking of the service ID for said device ID or the terminal ID mapped to the device ID;
• testing whether the service ID from said booking is included in the service ID list of location-specific data services for said tolling station;
• when the service ID is included in the service ID list, transmitting the terminal ID mapped to the device ID to the data service identified by the service ID;
• and
• providing said data service via the mobile communication network to the mobile terminal identified by the terminal ID.
