Provide technology that can be prevented.

  Conventionally, road managers have been alerting drivers with posters and signs, etc., and the police have been cracking down after patrols and inspections. There are few means of technically blocking the loading vehicle from entering the highway.

As a technique related to the present invention, a wireless communication system capable of making emergency contact via a network in the event of an emergency and accurately specifying the location of the place of contact is known from the following patent document. .
JP 2003-209512 A

  When an overloaded vehicle runs on a highway at a high speed, the braking distance becomes longer than when the vehicle is properly loaded, and the brake is not effective. Therefore, there is a high risk of causing an accident in a place with a poor view or a curve. In addition, if a poorly maintained vehicle enters the expressway and stops due to a malfunction, it may cause traffic jams or accidents. In particular, if the brake lamp is in a state where it cannot be lit due to a failure, it cannot be reported that the vehicle is behind the vehicle, and the risk of causing an accident becomes very high. It is a problem that it is difficult to check whether all the vehicles entering the expressway are dangerous vehicles having a high risk of causing an accident as described above.

  In addition, it is difficult for a driver of a vehicle traveling around the above-mentioned dangerous vehicle that has entered the expressway to know. For this reason, it was difficult to take a warning posture against dangerous vehicles so as not to get involved in an accident.

  An object of this invention is to provide the technique which can prevent the accident by a dangerous vehicle beforehand using a DSRC system.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, an aspect of the present invention includes vehicle information storage means for storing predetermined vehicle information including vehicle maintenance records, a vehicle number recorded on an ETC (electronic toll collection) card, A DSRC system that acquires information including a telephone number and acquires the predetermined vehicle information stored in the vehicle information storage means, and a predetermined process based on the vehicle information acquired by the DSRC system. Vehicle information processing means to perform.

  In the embodiment, the following system is disclosed.

  By using a car navigation system, a mobile phone, and a DSRC system, the vehicle information processing means allows the road manager to place a dangerous vehicle at risk of causing a serious accident due to poor maintenance or overloading. You can automatically report that you have entered.

  In addition, by using a car navigation system, a mobile phone, and a DSRC system, the vehicle information processing means notifies the driver that the vehicle is a dangerous vehicle having a risk of causing a serious accident. A system designed to guide and warn you to leave the expressway.

  By using a car navigation system, a mobile phone, and a DSRC system, the vehicle information processing means notifies a good driver that a dangerous vehicle is traveling around and alerts him. A system aimed at.

  When a vehicle is maintained at a dealer or a maintenance factory, a maintenance company or driver inputs vehicle maintenance information to the vehicle maintenance information storage unit 113 via the car navigation device control unit 101 (for example, tires or Oil change time, vehicle inspection date, etc.).

  The vehicle having the in-vehicle system 100 monitors the state of the main module at a predetermined time interval during traveling by means 111 for controlling and detecting the state of the main module such as the engine and the lamp, and the monitoring result is displayed each time. It records in the dynamic data storage means 112 as vehicle status information.

  For example, the following items are listed as examples.

(Example 1) The suspension control means 111i estimates how much the vehicle height position has changed from the default state by loading a load, and when the vehicle height becomes lower than a certain standard due to overloading, Status information that the vehicle is overloaded is transmitted to the dynamic data storage means 112.

(Example 2) The lamp control means 111f compares the measured value of power consumption when the brake lamp is lit with a default value, and if the measured value does not fall within a certain reference range, status information indicating that the brake lamp has failed is displayed. It transmits to the dynamic data storage means 112.

  When the vehicle having the in-vehicle system 100 passes through the ETC gate at the IC entrance, the ETC terminal control means 117 performs a toll fee payment procedure via the transmission / reception means (DSRC) 102 and 201, and the following information: Give and receive.

  A telephone number, an e-mail address, an automobile registration number, a vehicle name and model, vehicle maintenance information, and vehicle status information are transmitted from the vehicle side transmission / reception means (DSRC) 102 to the ETC gate side transmission / reception means (DSRC) 201.

  The vehicle information determination means 205 confirms the contents of vehicle maintenance information and vehicle status information. When a dangerous vehicle suspected of poor maintenance or overloading enters the highway through the ETC gate, the above information, such as a telephone number, email address, The car registration number, car name and model, vehicle maintenance information, and vehicle status information are transferred.

  The vehicle movement monitoring server 218 records information telephone number, mail address, vehicle registration number, vehicle name and model, vehicle maintenance information, vehicle status information of the dangerous vehicle, and forwards the information to the control room terminal 214. .

  When the control room terminal 214 receives the telephone number, e-mail address, automobile registration number, vehicle name and model, vehicle maintenance information, and vehicle status information, the dangerous vehicle enters the highway through the display means 216 to the controller. Notify you.

  The controller uses the following means to guide and warn the driver of the dangerous vehicle to reduce the speed and exit the highway or stop in the nearest evacuation space.

  The telephone number is dialed, and the driver is guided and warned from the business phone 217 to the mobile phone 109.

  Via the control Web server 221, a mail for guiding / warning is sent to the mail address of the mobile phone 109 to the driver.

  Information for guiding / warning the driver is displayed on the car navigation screen from the control WEB server 221 via the mobile phone 109 or the data communication transmitting / receiving means 116.

  If the driver is a malicious driver who does not follow the guidance of the controller, the dangerous vehicle information is transferred to the police through the business telephone 217, the control WEB server 221 or the control room terminal 214. In addition, the controller gives an instruction to a member of the site who is in charge of road management to take action against the dangerous vehicle via the business wireless command console 210 of the business wireless system BB.

  The controller alerts a good driver of another vehicle traveling in the section where the dangerous vehicle exists by using the following means.
