  • When a customer passes through the system, e.g. the Camera Bridge, of a toll route (including Free-Flow Sections), images and videos of the vehicle number plate are captured;

  • DKV BOX order form by ticking the respective option. The discount offers of the toll companies which have already been ticked are mandatory and must be accepted by the customer.
