Definitions

  • Control unit for checking the correct operation of toll devices on the vehicle
  • the invention relates to a control unit for checking the correct operation of vehicle-side toll devices in the context of an electronic toll collection system for vehicles in a toll route network.
  • a system for billing user fees for a toll route network which provides electronic toll devices installed in the vehicles traveling on the route network.
  • These toll devices have a device for the exact determination of the current geographical position by means of the signals emitted by a navigation satellite system (e.g. GPS) and a digital map accessible in a memory for the toll route network. With these devices, the toll device can determine whether and, if so, which ones are subject to charges
  • Each toll device also has a memory with tariff data so that it can calculate the toll amounts due independently.
  • Device prepaid prepaid credit card (e.g. chip card) similar to a telephone card.
  • EP 0 741 891 B1 A similar user fee billing system is known from EP 0 741 891 B1, which differs from the system described above in that the toll amounts determined are not debited from a prepaid card in the toll device, but are instead reported via digital mobile radio to a central office, which transfers the charges to the user of the route network
  • control unit is characterized by the features of patent claim 1 and can be configured in an advantageous manner by the features of the dependent subclaims
  • the vehicles to be checked each have an electronic toll device, which is provided with devices for wireless communication via mobile radio and for determining one's own geographical position (eg GPS receiver). Via the mobile device, the toll device can communicate with a computer center for billing data The toll amount to be exchanged
  • the control device which can be installed or installed on the street side has a communication device which is also set up for wireless communication and, like the toll device, also has a set-up for determining its own geographical position equipped with a camera for generating evidence-preserving pictures of passing vehicles
  • the control unit in turn communicates with the communication device of the toll devices of passing vehicles This is preferably done using GSM mobile radio in a GSM microcell.
  • GSM mobile radio in a GSM microcell.
  • DSRC Dedicated Short Range Communication
  • the toll devices are provided with a unique identifier so that it can easily be checked whether it is an approved toll device or possibly an unauthorized device.
  • Another purpose of the communication is to read out toll data stored in the toll device, including the current position determination data of the toll device, and to transmit it to the control unit. This data is checked for plausibility in the control unit.
  • the control unit can preferably also use data that it retrieves from the computer center using its communication device, which in turn continuously receives data for toll billing from the toll devices. This allows the security of the
  • the position determination data of the position determination device of the control unit can also be used in particular.
  • a precise assignment can be ensured by comparing the own position determination data with the transmitted data.
  • the invention provides that in a manner known per se an evidence-preserving picture is taken, on which the license plate of the vehicle checked can be recognized.
  • the control unit has the camera already mentioned and a memory for storing the Image information.
  • a negative test result occurs regularly when the vehicle toll device is not in operation at all or, for example, when the toll device was only switched on immediately before reaching the control unit, which can be seen from the fact that no plausible toll information has yet been exchanged with the computer center ,
  • control the control unit for an automatic evaluation of the number plate recorded in each case by means of optical character recognition
  • OCR OCR
  • Control unit Information about the control process is transmitted to the toll device of the controlled vehicle for storage.
  • control unit according to the invention can, for example, be stationary, i.e. installed in a fixed location. However, training the control unit according to the invention
  • Control unit as a mobile or transportable device that is easy to assemble and disassemble and can therefore be used at any location (e.g. installed in an emergency vehicle).
  • this enables surprising controls and, on the other hand, allows a reduction in the number of control units required for effective control in the respective toll route network.
  • the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the schematic exemplary embodiment shown in the single figure.
  • the figure shows a vehicle 9 " with a number plate 10, which is equipped with a toll device 2.
  • This toll device 2 has a communication device 3 and a position determining device 4 in the form of a GPS receiver.
  • the toll device 2 transmits by means of Mobile data for billing the toll amounts to a computer center 8.
  • Reference number 1 denotes a control unit installed on the roadside, which in turn has a communication device 5 which, like the toll device 2, is equipped with a position determining device 6 in the form of a GPS receiver.
  • the control unit 1 also has an electronic camera 7, which can take evidence-preserving pictures of the vehicle 9 being checked with its license plate 10.
  • the image information can be stored in a memory 1 1 of the communication device.
  • the toll device 2 When the toll device 2 is operating properly, it regularly transmits data for billing the toll amounts to the computer center 8. If a vehicle to be passed through the control unit is to be checked, the communication device 5 of the control unit 1 sends a corresponding one, for example on the frequency 2.45 GHz Request signal to the toll device 2 of the passing vehicle 9. If there is no response from the toll device 2, the evidence 7 is automatically made by the camera 7 with the license plate 10. However, if the toll device 2, supplies the requested data relating to the identity of the toll apparatus 2 and the data stored in the toll apparatus 2 toll data and current position determination data, the data is' rtuschsüber phenomenon subjected to Plausibil. This will be advantageous from the
  • Computer center 8 polled by the control unit 1 data that are available there about the current operation of the toll device 2. If the plausibility check does not lead to a satisfactory result, as in the case of a toll device 2 that has been switched off, an evidence-preserving picture is taken.
  • control unit is made available which nevertheless guarantees a very effective control of the correct operation of the toll devices used in the vehicles in a fully electronic and therefore paperless toll billing system.
  • the equipment and personnel required for this is very low.
  • This control unit is preferably used in the context of an electronic toll collection system, in which the charge is collected by a computer center which communicates with the respective toll devices in the vehicles by wireless means.
