Fig. 1 is a flowchart of an ETC charging method based on communication base station data according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the ETC charging method based on communication base station data according to the present preferred embodiment starts with step 101.

In step 101, vehicle identification information and a mobile phone number corresponding to the vehicle identification information are collected, and a vehicle identification information and mobile phone number association table is generated, wherein the vehicle identification information comprises a license plate number of a vehicle and an ETC card number of the vehicle, the mobile phone number corresponding to one vehicle identification information is not less than one, and the vehicle identification information corresponding to one mobile phone number is not less than one.

Preferably, the acquiring the vehicle identification information and the mobile phone number corresponding to the vehicle identification information includes:

In step 102, first station information of toll stations with ETC lanes and second station information of communication base stations capable of covering each toll station in the first station information are collected, a toll station and communication base station association table is established based on the first station information and the second station information, the first station information is names of the toll stations, and the second station information is names of the communication base stations.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for establishing a table associating toll stations with communication base station stations according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, preferably, the step of collecting first station information of toll stations having an ETC lane and second station information of a communication base station that can cover each toll station in the first station information, and establishing a toll station and communication base station association table based on the first station information and the second station information starts from step 201.

In step 201, a plurality of vehicle samples are selected, wherein each vehicle sample includes vehicle identification information and a mobile phone number corresponding to the vehicle identification information.

In step 202, for each toll station in the first station information, when a vehicle passes through an ETC lane of the toll station, recording the first station information of the toll station, collecting vehicle identification information of the vehicle, collecting second station information of a communication base station connected with a mobile phone number corresponding to the vehicle identification information at the current moment, and adding 1 to the confidence of the second station information of the communication base station relative to the first station information of the toll station.

In step 203, for each toll station, the communication base station with the highest confidence level among the different types of communication base stations is used as the communication base station associated with the toll station, and a toll station and communication base station association table is established, wherein the different types of communication base stations comprise mobile, communication and telecommunication communication base stations.

The following is an example of establishing an association table between the toll station and the communication base station.

The vehicle sample can be acquired from the ETC registration department through information registered when the vehicle transacts the ETC card, thereby obtaining sample data.

When a sample of vehicles passes through toll station a at time T, if the corresponding registered mobile phone number of the vehicle is correct (this accuracy is not too low), the mobile phone number will be connected to a base station near toll station a at a high rate for a period of [ T-T, T + T ]. Then, when the vehicle in the existing detection sample is detected to be present, the confidence level +1 of the toll station a corresponding to the base station which establishes communication connection with the corresponding mobile phone number currently is detected.

For example, the mobile phone number registered by the vehicle jing a88888 is 13088888888, and when the vehicle jing a88888 passes through the toll booth a, the base station connected with the mobile phone number 13088888888 is the first base station, and then the confidence of the first base station (relative to the toll booth a) is + 1. Further, if the user registers the ETC, the condition of a plurality of mobile phone numbers is registered, when the user passes through the toll station, the connection condition of all the bound mobile phone numbers and the corresponding base station is detected, and the confidence level of the corresponding base station to the toll station is + 1.

After a period of multi-sample and big data statistics process, the confidence of each base station corresponding to the toll station can be obtained, and the confidence includes different communication base station types such as mobile, communication and telecommunication. And respectively taking the base station with the highest confidence coefficient in different base station types as the base stations of the mobile, communication, telecommunication and other types corresponding to the toll station A. For example: the toll station a corresponds to a base station having three communication types: mobile, connected and telecommunication. Each type corresponds to three base stations with the highest confidence level respectively: mobile type base station 001, mobile type base station 020, telecom type base station 312.

In practical applications, there may be situations in which the mobile phone number provided by the user at the time of registration is wrong, the user has exchanged the mobile phone number afterwards, the user borrows the mobile phone or the vehicle for other people to use, and the like. For example, the number of the mobile phone bound when the vehicle Beijing A88888 registers is 13088888888, and the actual driver and the vehicle user do not carry 13088888888 mobile phones. In this case, when the vehicle passes through the toll station a, it is normally detected that the identification information of the vehicle and the bound mobile phone number are 13088888888, but the base station to which the 13088888888 mobile phone number is actually connected is not the real base station corresponding to the toll station a, and may be far away from the toll station a. However, when sample data is large and the analysis period is long, the base station with the highest confidence level among certain communication base station types is completely reliable as the base station of the communication type corresponding to the tollgate a.

Finally, the statistics and analysis are carried out for each toll station, and base stations of various types actually corresponding to the toll stations can be obtained.

In theory, the toll station and the communication base station can be managed in a manual marking mode, the toll station and the communication base station which are close in geographic position are associated together, and a station association table of the toll station and the communication base station is established. However, the toll stations and the base stations are huge in quantity and scattered in positions, and the manual marking is complex and prone to errors, so that the toll stations and the communication base stations are automatically and intelligently associated through multi-sample big data analysis, and the obviously higher accuracy rate of establishing the association table of the toll stations and the communication base stations is achieved.

In step 103, for a vehicle with an on-board unit OBU installed, identification information of the vehicle is collected when the vehicle passes through an ETC lane of a toll gate.

Preferably, for a vehicle with an on-board unit OBU installed, when the vehicle passes through an ETC lane of a toll gate, the collecting identification information of the vehicle includes:

In step 104, based on the association table of the vehicle identification information and the mobile phone number, the mobile phone number corresponding to the vehicle is determined according to the identification information of the vehicle.

In step 105, the connection information between the mobile phone number and the communication base station is collected.

Preferably, the collecting the connection information between the mobile phone number and the communication base station includes:

And 106, determining the vehicle passing state according to the connection information based on the association table of the toll station and the communication base station, and generating a corresponding fee deduction instruction according to the passing state to complete vehicle charging.

Preferably, the determining the vehicle passing state according to the connection information based on the association table of the toll station and the communication base station, and generating a corresponding fee deduction instruction according to the passing state to complete vehicle charging includes:

when only one mobile phone number corresponding to the vehicle is determined according to the vehicle identification information and the connection time is up, the second site information of the communication base station connected with the mobile phone number is the second site information of the communication base station related to the toll station through which the vehicle passes in the toll station and communication base station site association table, the vehicle passing state is determined to be normal, and the vehicle is released and charged; otherwise, the vehicle passing state is considered to be abnormal, corresponding operation is executed according to the selection of the user of the mobile phone number, and the operation comprises refusing to release the vehicle and sending at least one of the alarm messages to the mobile phone number.

For example, the registered license plate number is jing a88888 and the registered mobile phone number is 13088888888 when handling the ETC service, the toll station a that the vehicle passes through is located in the signal coverage range of the first communication base station, and the communication base station is a mobile communication base station.

When a user drives a vehicle through an ETC lane of a toll station A, the toll station A acquires identification information of the vehicle, such as' license plate number: and the Beijing A88888' finds out that the corresponding mobile phone number is 13088888888 according to the license plate number. And further searching all communication base stations which establish communication connection with the mobile phone number currently, if the mobile phone number is in a connection state with the first base station at the moment, releasing the vehicle and deducting high-speed cost or bridge passing cost from a bank account when the ETC card is registered, otherwise, refusing to release.

It can be understood that the connection between the mobile phone number and the base station in the embodiment of the present invention means that a mobile phone or other communication device equipped with an SIM card corresponding to the mobile phone number is connected to the base station; the mobile phone number appearing in the toll station in the embodiment of the invention can mean that a mobile phone or other communication equipment provided with an SIM card corresponding to the mobile phone number appears in the toll station.

When the vehicle passing state is normal, the system can be in butt joint with a system for realizing mobile phone account fee deduction for an operator. Optionally, when the balance of the bank account corresponding to the vehicle is insufficient, when the user has authorized to directly deduct the toll from the mobile phone account, the user can directly deduct the high-speed toll or the bridge fee from the mobile phone account of the user while releasing the vehicle, so that convenience is provided for the user to pay the toll.

The method provided by the embodiment can acquire the identification information of the vehicle passing through the ETC lane, search the mobile phone number corresponding to the identification information of the vehicle, acquire the connection condition of the mobile phone number and the base station, determine whether the passing vehicle is abnormal or not according to the connection condition of the mobile phone number and the base station, and take corresponding measures when the passing vehicle is abnormal. Thus, only if the associated mobile phone number appears at the toll station, the vehicle can normally pass through the ETC channel. The condition that the ETC account of the user is damaged due to the fact that people, cards and vehicles such as car stealing and card stealing are separated is effectively prevented, intelligent anti-theft is achieved, and safety of the vehicle and the user account is greatly improved.

When a plurality of mobile phone numbers corresponding to the vehicle are determined according to the vehicle identification information, and one mobile phone number exists in the plurality of mobile phone numbers during the connection time, and the second site information of the connected communication base station is the second site information of the communication base station related to the toll station passed by the vehicle in the toll station and communication base station site association table, determining that the vehicle passing state is normal, releasing the vehicle, and deducting the fee from an account corresponding to the mobile phone number of the second site information of the communication base station related to the toll station passed by the vehicle in the toll station and communication base station site association table from the second site information of the connected communication base station; otherwise, the vehicle passing state is considered to be abnormal, corresponding operation is executed according to the selection of the users of the plurality of mobile phone numbers corresponding to the vehicle identification information, and the operation comprises refusing to release the vehicle and sending at least one of the alarm information to the mobile phone numbers.

Table 1 is an example of a table associating vehicle identification information with a mobile phone number. As shown in table 1, at least two mobile phone numbers associated with the vehicle identification information are provided, and correspondingly, each mobile phone number has a deduction account. When a vehicle passes through an ETC lane of a toll station, a plurality of mobile phone numbers corresponding to the vehicle can be acquired, the mobile phone numbers appearing at the toll station are confirmed from the plurality of mobile phone numbers, and then fees are deducted from corresponding accounts. For example. If the vehicle Beijing A88888 passes through an ETC lane of a toll station A, acquiring the identification information of the vehicle as a license plate number Beijing A88888, and finding that the vehicle corresponds to two mobile phone numbers by looking up an association table: 13088888888, 13077777777. At this time, the connection between the cell phone numbers 13088888888, 13077777777 and the communication base station can be acquired.

Assume that the cell phone number 13088888888 is currently connected to a first base station corresponding to toll booth a and the cell phone number 13077777777 is connected to a second base station that is hundreds of miles away from toll booth a. Then it may be determined that the user currently at cell phone number 13088888888 is driving through toll station a, at which point the fee may be deducted from the account 6214031888888888888 corresponding to cell phone number 13088888888. In addition, because the vehicle identification information is associated with the mobile phone number of the user, and the current mobile phone can generally open the payment function, the deduction account can be not recorded in the association table, and the corresponding fee can be directly deducted from the mobile phone account under the authorization condition of the user with the mobile phone number.

Table 1 is also taken as an example. When a vehicle passes through an ETC lane of a toll station, a plurality of mobile phone numbers corresponding to the vehicle can be obtained, and when two or more mobile phone numbers appearing in the toll station are confirmed from the plurality of mobile phone numbers, fee deduction is carried out from an account with the highest priority in the mobile phone numbers passing through the toll station according to fee deduction priority set by the mobile phone numbers.

By the method, the identification information of the vehicle passing through the ETC lane of the toll station can be acquired, all the mobile phone numbers bound correspondingly are searched, then the actual mobile phone number connected with the base station corresponding to the toll station is determined, and the cost is deducted from the account corresponding to the mobile phone number. When the number of the actual mobile phone numbers connected with the base station corresponding to the toll station is multiple, the fee can be deducted from the account corresponding to the mobile phone number with the highest priority according to the set fee deduction priority, so that the fee deduction requirements in different scenes (such as the scenes of sharing vehicles by multiple users and the like) such as 'who passes, who deducts fee, who has high priority and who deducts fee' are met, convenience is provided for the user, accurate fee deduction is realized, and the safety of each user account is ensured.
