Definitions

  • the invention relates to a control system for Review of road user fee payments in an automatic fee entry system with payment stations on highways and appropriately equipped Vehicles which have an on-board device and a communication device for wireless data exchange with a Vehicle transceiver and an electronic usage card have in the form of a processor card.
  • the payment stations previously proposed for such systems are based on automatic, combined debiting and control stations.
  • the vehicles have to do this an on-board device and an electronic wallet in the form a processor card (e.g. smart card).
  • the payment process happens automatically during the transit through the station.
  • the vehicles are supposed to can drive undiminished speed and also Lane changes may be possible.
  • Nonpayers become automatic through a suitable photographic recording system or Video system detected (see. EP-A-0401192).
  • Any vehicle without an on-board device or with a defective one decommissioned device triggers in the stations Video capture. Will be many in the course of the journey When stations pass, a large amount of images quickly emerges. Foreign drivers also have to go with it be equipped with an on-board device.
  • the recording technique arrives at high vehicle speeds and due to the construction unfavorable camera position to its limits. A automatic recognition of the number plates is under these practical conditions only possible to a limited extent. The situation is similar with the safe automatic Detection of the vehicle type from which the amount of the fee can depend. The imposition of a penalty fee is problematic for nonpayers, if this is not done immediately. Payment requests that arrive after a long time, must be legally unassailable. For one Evidence from the driver must be debited as electronic Document must be reliably logged.
  • the object of the invention is to overcome the disadvantages shown above to avoid and in an automatic fee collection system a simple control system for payment to propose the road toll.
  • this task is for an initially described Fee registration system solved by that the payment stations only as validation stations are trained, each with a certain usage fee debit and the debits of the last Validation stations with the necessary data for one Log evidence protection on the processor card, and that from the validation stations independently separate, stationary or / and mobile Control devices are provided that the logged debits and data of the processor cards of the individual Wirelessly query vehicles in flowing traffic and vehicles with improper payment of fees as Nonpayer identify and register these vehicles.
  • the vehicles are, as described above, with an on-board device and an "electronic ticket".
  • the payment stations are purely validation stations. There is no facility for recording at the stations Not paid (black drivers). A station passage with undiminished speed and any Lane change is possible. Motorists who a Have on-board equipment, "validate” each time you pass through the validation station the electronic ticket that up to the next validation station is valid. The high of Fee may vary depending on the route between Stations, vehicle type, time of day, etc.
  • Some recent cancellations (debits) on the electronic ticket are stored in an event memory saved, i.e. logged. That memory can preferably be contactless from mobile control devices be queried.
  • infrared beacons for infrared light transmission used.
  • the control or interrogation device is correspondingly of an infrared transmission and Receiver device (infrared head) with associated Control and display device formed on the the vehicle to be checked is or will be aligned.
  • control device additionally an infrared light sensitive Have video camera with the Querying and checking the vehicles to be checked due to a separate signal from the Vehicle when querying an exact location of the controlled vehicle can be reached.
  • the control or interrogation device can do this be designed as a handheld device, which as Infrared gun similar to a radar gun for that Speed control on the vehicle to be checked is aligned.
  • control device in a control vehicle arranged that a behind the control vehicle moving vehicle at high driving speed and large vehicle distance from or from the control vehicle can be checked here.
  • the control system according to the invention is comparable to a ticket inspection in the subway itself and at the subway station exits.
  • the traffic for contactless polling is of course encrypted, what with a processor card with the help of cryptography is possible and necessary is to make sure that pretending is one valid ticket through a tampered device is possible.
  • a stationary control device can be provided, the only vehicles detects those who have paid and vehicles that have not have paid. This way it is possible for statistical purposes to register the number of non-payers without identifying the individual vehicles.
  • control station it is also expedient to have fixed, automatic control stations be used if the level of equipment of the Vehicles with on-board equipment is high, otherwise that is the beginning described problem of the abundance of images arises.
  • control device additionally automatic vehicle identification devices on how they are known per se are, for example photographic detection systems such as Video systems etc.
  • the exchange of data between the vehicles and the validation stations or the control stations can also be used Made with the help of microwave transmission technology become.
  • control system according to the invention with validation stations and control devices, preferably used separately can be advantageously in one open fee collection system.
  • Fig. 1 is a highway AS with two directions of travel and three lanes each with various ascents and descents shown. At certain points and predeterminable distances are validation stations built within an EWS certain communication area KB the passing Record vehicles and a corresponding user fee debit. 1 is also perspective the AS autostrasse is shown with a validation station EWS, that of two infrared beacons IRB with a control device STV is formed. The two beacons are on the left and to the right of the AS road and light up in the direction of travel two intersecting communication areas KB within which the data exchange takes place.
  • Such Control stations with infrared beacons can be constructive be relatively simple.
  • Fig. 2 is shown schematically, as from a control vehicle Cars from a vehicle driving behind this FZ is checked.
  • the control and query facility KON is installed in the vehicle control vehicle and asks questions With the help of infrared technology, the vehicle to be checked via its vehicle transceiver. Has the vehicle properly paid its fees, it will in the control vehicle KFZ on a display device ANZ displayed, the vehicle type, the time and the last stations at which payment was made, along with the time are displayed. Vehicles that do not have an on-board device have or where no ordinary fee payment can be done, for example, photographically be held and / or immediately for payment be stopped.
  • a hand-held device HG is shown schematically in FIG. 3.
  • control device 4 schematically illustrates a control station for statistical purposes.
  • the control device is here arranged in the course of a multi-lane road AS and for example from two infrared beacons IRB and the associated control device, the control device STV educated.
  • For vehicle detection is in this embodiment a vehicle detector in each lane Form of an inductive loop IS arranged, which also is connected to the control device STV. There you can the number of vehicles that paid and all Vehicles that have driven over the loops are determined and from this a statistical information about Payer and non-payer.
  • Fig. 5 shows schematically indicated a permanently installed automatic control station, which also has two infrared beacons IRB, which is to the left and right of the AS road are arranged, and these with a certain communication area Illuminate KB.
  • IRB infrared beacon
  • This are connected to the control device, where the various Processing, correlations and acquisitions carried out be that are not the subject of the invention here.
  • Such stations can be in narrowed lane areas or motorway exits with only one lane be arranged, then there is no vehicle detector in Form of a radar device required. With a multi-lane Execution, as already mentioned above, this is necessary to detect the correct vehicle, to identify and register.
