Methods, systems, and devices for road usage charging (RUC) are being discussed in this abstract. The computation of RUC can be done by a trusted vehicle computing device (VCD) present in the vehicle. This VCD is trusted by the service provider and charger. It is responsible for collecting accurate time and location data for RUC. Additionally, the VCD can calculate the RUC charge based on the applicable charge policies provided to it. To ensure anonymity, certain portions of the RUC data can be encrypted. These encrypted portions can be decrypted by different entities, minimizing the risk of revealing specific vehicle, location, and time information.
