Definitions

  • the invention relates to a roadside control device for controlling the proper operation of a toll device installed in a vehicle passing the control device and having an identifying license plate, the toll device performing a satellite-based electronic toll bill.
  • the known system provides that in each vehicle a toll device is installed, in which a receiver for the signals of a navigation satellite system such.
  • GPS Global Positioning System
  • Glosnar has and is provided with an electronic memory in which the paid routes and the geographical zones (in the following is simply spoken of toll roads or routes) and the respective associated usage rates are recorded.
  • the toll device On the basis of the signals of the navigation satellite system, the toll device has at all times the current geographical position of the vehicle and recognizes from the stored data on the toll roads, whether the vehicle is on a toll route or not, and in this way the possibly due tolls determine automatically.
  • the known system provides for the use of value-added-value-cards (eg chip card) on which the respectively due toll amounts are debited by the toll-collecting device.
  • a tolling device which for this purpose has a device for self-monitoring of unauthorized manipulation of the individual components of the toll device and a fault memory for recording of diagnosing data in case of unauthorized manipulation.
  • the tolling device can emit a signal via an appropriate signaling device, which indicates an improper operation of the device.
  • a tolling device which has a signaling device, via which diagnostic data, which provide information about the functionality of the toll device or its individual components, can be interrogated wirelessly from the outside.
  • diagnostic data which provide information about the functionality of the toll device or its individual components.
  • the control device has a communication device for the wireless exchange of information between the control device and the toll device in passieranden vehicle.
  • the toll device is able to determine toll amounts based on time-based usage tariffs and electronically debit from a stored on a stored credit card value assets.
  • the devices of the control device are activated by triggering a corresponding signal of an optical sensor.
  • the communication device of the control device transmits to the vehicle currently passing a data query which must be answered within a predetermined time.
  • the response of the vehicle is then checked by the control for the presence of an error code.
  • An error code will be stored by the toll collection device if the externally visible device light becomes damaged, if the value balance on the memory card becomes negative and if the antenna of the communication device has been shielded for a certain time and was therefore not ready to receive. If no error code is detected, the controller assumes proper operation of the toll device. If, on the other hand, an error code is detected or the dialogue between the passing vehicle and the control device fails, then a camera is activated which takes a picture of the vehicle.
  • US 5,767,505 also a roadside control device for the operation of a toll device in vehicles that pass the control device.
  • the toll device performs a satellite-based electronic toll settlement. In this case, billing of single amounts always takes place when the vehicle has passed a virtual toll booth whose position data are stored in the toll device.
  • the tolling device also has the position data of control points in which Do it pass automatically by means of digital mobile radio certain control data to a central office. Cameras installed at the checkpoint pick up all passing vehicles with their license plates and pass this information on to the central office. There, a picture analysis and a comparison with the respectively übermitteiten by the vehicle control data takes place, which are not explained in detail content. If there is no correlation between the compared data, a report will be prepared at the central office for manual follow-up of the matter. Otherwise, the data transmitted to the central office will be deleted.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a roadside control device for the control of the proper operation of a toll device for the satellite-based electronic toll collection, on the one hand ensures a high accuracy in the controls to be performed, but on the other hand the least possible effort for the equipment and the operation of the Control device required.
  • the invention thus provides a control device which can perform the required roadside monitoring of the passing vehicles practically automatically. Via the communication device, the control device can wirelessly request the toll device of the respectively passing vehicle to transmit information about the current operating state of the toll device.
  • Such information includes, in particular, information about the class of vehicle used for the billing and about the proper booking of the toll amounts, for example on a prepaid card, or alternatively about the proper transfer of the toll amounts to a billing center.
  • the control device In principle, it is also possible to use a communication device in which the information is transmitted via infrared or ultrasound signals. However, optical transmission methods are less preferred because of their sensitivity to physical obstacles in the transmission path. It is also advisable to carry out the dialogue between the control device and the toll unit of the respective vehicle in encrypted form. For this purpose, appropriate encryption and final encryption components are to be provided in the control device and in the vehicle or in the toll device of the vehicle. As a result, the security against manipulation is significantly increased. In the vehicle, the keys necessary for encryption can be stored, for example, in a chip card or a fixed memory of the toll device or the communication device used on the vehicle side.
  • a particularly effective protection against tampering can then be ensured if, in addition to current charge and chip card information, satellite, position and / or other device information is also queried and transmitted to the control device.
  • the roadside control device is equipped with a receiver for the signals of the navigation satellite system used in a manner similar to the vehicle-side tolling device, then, for example, the satellite signals currently received on the vehicle side can be compared with the satellite signals currently received by the roadside control device. In this way, confusion with other vehicles passing the roadside control device simultaneously or very soon, and data manipulation can be virtually eliminated. The same applies if the passing Vehicle gives direct information about his current position at the time of the dialogue.
  • information from the vehicle could also be transmitted via the communication device for police purposes that go beyond the mere monthly statement (for example: travel times of a truck driver or vehicle data that could be read out via a CAN bus).
  • a particularly important part of the road-side control device is the Klassfikations issued, which expediently works according to an acoustic or optical measuring principle. It has the task of recognizing the type of the passing vehicle on the basis of characteristic signals so accurately that it can be clearly assigned to a certain fee class with utmost security.
  • acoustic measurement principles for example, the sounds emitted by a vehicle can be analyzed.
  • a commercial vehicle trucks or bus
  • From ultrasound signals can be derived, for example, information that can be used to determine the size of a vehicle in order to make a class assignment in this way.
  • several different measurement methods can be combined with each other to increase the security of the assignment.
  • the classification device has a sensor system which has an electronic image sensor.
  • This image sensor enables the electronic recording of images of the respective vehicle, which can then be compared with stored images from a vehicle class database.
  • the assignment to a vehicle class takes place according to the greatest agreement in the image features.
  • the classification device operates on the principle of optical correlation. In this case, not the image information, but the spatial frequencies of the images are optically superimposed and transversely illuminated with a light source.
  • the intensity of the transmitted light is a direct measure of the correlation of the images and thus of the vehicle class.
  • the vehicle class could also be modeled on the heat distribution over the vehicle length using an infrared image sensor, e.g. by means of a microbolometer array.
  • an infrared image sensor e.g. by means of a microbolometer array.
  • Another alternative is to see in the assignment of passing the control device vehicles based on a geometric vehicle measurement using infrared detectors.
  • this type of vehicle classification is relatively complex and usually requires the installation of the control device on a bridge over the track to be observed.
  • the central component of the control device is a trigger device, which activates the various devices and components of the control device functionally and also determines the timing of the vehicle classification.
  • the trigger device detects the time at which a vehicle has reached a defined position on the road or a defined distance from the control device and supplies as needed z. B. also an indication of the respective vehicle speed.
  • the trigger device has an electronic image sensor with downstream image processing. Alternatively, a radar sensor or even a laser sensor can be provided. Of course, the combination of several different sensors is possible.
  • the evaluation unit has the task of determining whether the controlled vehicle is driving the road lawfully or not, ie whether the tolls due from the in-vehicle toll collection device are properly calculated and deducted according to the respective applicable tariff. For this purpose, the information that is provided on the one hand via the dialogue with the toll device and on the other hand by the classification device, compared and checked for plausibility. If the vehicle class queried, for example, by radio via the communication device from the toll device of the vehicle deviates from the vehicle class determined by the classification device, the evaluation device delivers a signal which causes further measures to punish the infringement which is likely to be present. Instead of fraudulent manipulation, there could also be a technical error. The most important measure is to secure evidence that provides reliable evidence that the vehicle under observation has undoubtedly failed to properly calculate and charge the applicable road user charge.
  • a receiving device which, in the event of a negative result of the plausibility check or in the event that no dialogue with the vehicle or the toll device of the vehicle has come about, takes a picture of the vehicle with which this vehicle is clearly identifiable , Of course, this is primarily the inclusion of the number plate of the vehicle.
  • a recording device may comprise, for example, an electronic camera. It is also possible that the electronic camera of the recording device is physically identical to an electronic camera that forms the sensors of the classification device, so that the cost of this component can be saved. The time at which the registration of the license plate is made is given by the trigger device by a corresponding signal.
  • control device comprises a radio device, in particular a data radio device, via which, in the event of improper operation of the in-vehicle toll device detected by the evaluation device, the number plate of the vehicle concerned and, if necessary, further data of the respective control process are sent to a control center is transferable.
  • control device has a data compression device, so that the data transmission to the control center can take place in compressed form.
  • the control device according to the invention consists essentially of electronic components that require little space and have low energy consumption. Therefore, this control device can be produced as a compact device-technical unit. It can be installed in fixed locations, eg. B. on serving as a device carrier mast or on a bridge leading over the respective road. However, the installation in a vehicle is particularly advantageous with regard to the effectiveness of random checks, so that the control device can be used as a mobile device at any location. This has the advantage on the one hand that a large number of control points can be operated with a single device and that on the other hand the users of the toll routes can not adjust to control points known in advance in order to remain undetected as "dodgers", for example.
  • control device is built so compact that it can be used as a handheld device (similar to a "radar gun" for speed control).
  • the present invention makes it possible to carry out a check of the proper operation of satellite-based tolling devices in random or in a gapless form with a comparatively low effort for the construction and operation of a roadside control device, with a very high level of security regarding the factual accuracy of the control operations performed reachable is. It is essential that the necessary personnel expenses are extremely low, since the inspection runs practically in a fully automated form.
  • control device 1 has a communication device 2, for example, as. Short-range radio is designed for a frequency in the range of 5.8 GHz. Furthermore, the control device 1 comprises a classification device 3, the sensor system of which includes an electronic image sensor (eg in the form of an electronic camera). Furthermore, the control device 1 has a trigger device 4, which is connected by signal technology to the communication device 2 and the classification device 3. An evaluation device 5 and a recording device 7 are also connected by signal technology to the trigger device. The evaluation device 5 is z. B. from an electronic computer, which makes a plausibility check with regard to the vehicle class of the currently controlled and the control device passing vehicle.
  • this computer compares relevant information obtained via the communication device 2 from the controlled vehicle or its toll device, with the corresponding information about the passing vehicle, which were determined by the control device itself in order to determine the relevant vehicle class. If the evaluator 5 determines that the vehicle class applied in the in-vehicle toll apparatus is different from the vehicle class determined by the controller 1 itself, then a signal is generated which is representative of the condition that the vehicle currently passing does not properly account for tolls performs. Via the triggering devices 4, a corresponding signal is then given to the receiving device 7 in order to make a picture identifying the affected vehicle.
  • This receiving device 7 is formed for example as an electronic camera. This can advantageously be used simultaneously as a sensor for the classification device 3.
  • a GPS receiver 8 with the signals of the navigation system used by the vehicle-side tolling satellite system are receivable, and a z. B. trained as a data radio radio device 9, with the made recording of the vehicle or its license plate can be transmitted together with other information about the detected Vorkommis to a control center wirelessly.
  • This control center then has reliable evidence after transmission whose basis the detected violation of the law of the driver of the vehicle is traceable.
  • FIG. 2 the process of control by the control device 1 is shown schematically.
  • a vehicle 10 equipped with a toll device 11 and carrying a license plate 6 identifying the vehicle travels on a toll road.
  • the control device 1 according to the invention is set up on a mobile stand.
  • the reference numeral 12 three satellites of a navigation satellite system are shown, which emit signals, based on which an accurate two-dimensional determination of the spatial position of the respective GPS receiver and thus the vehicle position is possible.
  • the control device 1 which of course could also be installed in a vehicle parked at the roadside, addresses the toll device 11 via its short-range radio and queries the data necessary for determining the orderliness of the operation of the toll device 11.
  • the control device 1 detects a vehicle 10 in which the plausibility check leads to a negative result in terms of regularity, the information given in FIG FIG. 2 Unillustrated recording unit a verweisichemde recording of the vehicle 10, preferably of the license plate 6, made and z. B. via an in FIG. 2 Not shown wireless device transmitted to a control center for the follow-up of the identified violation of law.
  • the vehicle in question may then be withdrawn from service by the police at a suitable location (eg at a parking lot or at a rest area) and the relevant driver may be confronted with the evidence. On this occasion, it can then be determined whether the improper operation of the toll device 11 is based on a manipulation or a technical failure of the toll device 11, which would not be responsible for the driver of the vehicle 10.
