  # The algorithm to calculate the checksum is derived from the one
  # Deutsche Bundesbahn (german railway company) uses for calculation
  # of the check digit of their vehikel numbering.
  # The checksum is calculated by alternately multiplying the digits
  # with 1 and 2 and adding the resulsts from left to right of the
  # vehikel number. The modulus to 10 of this sum is substracted from
  # 10. See: http://www.pruefziffernberechnung.de/F/Fahrzeugnummer.shtml
