(Processing flow of the exit monitoring system)
FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing an example of processing of the exit monitoring system 6 according to this embodiment. Hereinafter, an example of processing in which the exit monitoring system 6 according to the present embodiment creates post-collection data for non-ETC vehicles and issues a notification for collecting tolls will be described with reference to FIG. 18 .

When a non-ETC vehicle enters the lane L, the toll collection processing is not performed in the ETC facility 2, and the opening/closing bar of the start controller 25 remains closed. A non-ETC vehicle stops before the start controller 25. - 特許庁At this time, the toll collector at the tollgate office communicates with the user boarding the non-ETC vehicle via the lane side communication unit 31 of the roadside device 3 and the office side communication unit 41 of the monitoring device 4. . The toll collector explains to the user the method of deferred payment of the toll (step S401). In addition, the toll collector inserts the toll ticket for the user into the toll ticket receiving/reading portion 39 of the roadside device 3 via the office side calling portion 41 of the monitoring device 4 and the lane side calling portion 31 of the roadside device 3. (step S402).

Instead of the explanation by the toll collector, the roadside device 3 may reproduce the voice stored in the storage (37/45) or memory (36/44) of the roadside device 3 or monitoring device 4 in advance. For example, the roadside device 3 may further include a display device such as a touch panel, and a button such as "start payment" may be displayed on the display device. When a user boarding a non-ETC vehicle touches a button labeled "start payment", a voice pre-stored in the memory may be reproduced. Furthermore, after playing back the voice, the roadside device 3 sends a message such as "insert a toll ticket" stored in advance in the storage (37/45) or memory (36/44) of the roadside device 3 or the monitoring device 4. It may be displayed on a display device.

A user boarding a non-ETC vehicle inserts a pass into the pass ticket receiving/reading section 39 of the roadside device 3 according to the explanation of the toll collector. The toll ticket receiving/reading unit 39 of the roadside device 3 receives the toll ticket inserted by the user boarding the non-ETC vehicle (step S403). The pass receiving/reading section 39 of the roadside device 3 reads information from the magnetic recording section of the pass (step S404).

The toll ticket receiving/reading unit 39 of the roadside device 3 determines whether or not the information has been successfully read from the magnetic recording part of the toll ticket (step S405).
