Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a toll collection system for a toll road that collects a toll according to the travel distance of an expressway provided with a service area and a parkink area at an exit gate of each interchange.
[0002]
[Prior art]
On toll roads that collect tolls from tolls according to the distance of a toll road such as an expressway laid over a long distance, there are a number of interchanges (IC: interchange) Is provided. As a general method of collecting a toll from a toll road on such a toll road, an entrance ticketing machine is arranged at the entrance gate of each inter, and an exit toll collector is arranged at the exit gate of each inter.
[0003]
The entrance ticket issuing machine issues a pass ticket 1 shown in FIG. 13 to a vehicle entering the toll road from this intern. On this pass ticket 1, an inter name 2a for specifying the corresponding inter, an approach time 2b, a vehicle type 2c of the approaching vehicle, and a series of pass ticket numbers 2d are printed. Further, these pieces of information are magnetically recorded on the magnetic stripe 3 of the pass ticket 1.
[0004]
When the driver leaves the toll road, when the driver passes the toll 1 to the attendant at the exit gate of the interchange, the attendant inserts the toll 1 into the exit toll collector. In the exit toll collector, a toll table storing tolls in each toll section from the self-inter to each inter is stored for each vehicle type.
[0005]
Then, the exit toll collector searches for the toll of the corresponding vehicle from the vehicle type 2c and the inter name 2a magnetically recorded in the inserted toll 1 and displays it electronically. The driver pays the displayed toll to the attendant.
[0006]
Conventionally, the following methods (a) to (e) have been put into practical use as a settlement method for this toll.
(A) Cash payment
(B) Payment of coupon tickets
(C) Prepaid card payment
(D) House card payment
(E) Credit card payment
In each method other than (a) and (b) above, the attendant at the exit gate of the intern receives the card together with the toll from the driver, and passes the toll ticket 1 and the card to the toll gate of the exit toll collector and the card. Insert it into the insertion slot. The exit fee collection machine obtains the toll from the toll ticket 1 using the above-mentioned toll table. If the card inserted separately into the card slot is a post-payment card such as a house card or credit card, the toll fee is charged only when payment is possible with this card by executing a credit inquiry for this card. Card sales processing for paying with the corresponding card is executed.
If the inserted card is a prepaid card that is prepaid, it is not necessary to make a credit inquiry.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the toll collection system for toll roads that collect tolls according to the procedure described above still has the following problems to be solved.
That is, in the payment of the toll by the postpaid card at the exit gate of the internet, it is not possible to omit a credit inquiry for checking the validity of the card. Therefore, in order to shorten the time required for this credit inquiry, each exit fee collection machine has a black list table storing card numbers of cards related to accidents and theft, etc. The blacklist table is searched to check the validity.
[0008]
However, even if a black list table is provided in the self-device, the processing time required for checking the validity of this card is still 2 to 3 seconds. In general, traffic congestion on toll roads is considered to be one of the major causes because it takes time to collect tolls at the exit gates at the Inter. Therefore, it is required to shorten the charge collection work by this card payment as much as possible.
[0009]
In particular, in the case of a motorcycle, the driver stores the pass ticket in a pocket such as a jacket, and the card is stored in a wallet or the like, so it is necessary to take both of them at the exit gate and hand them to the staff. Furthermore, the rate of work for collecting tolls is further reduced.
[0010]
In addition, as shown in FIG. 13, only the name 2a of the entrance interchange is described in the pass ticket 1.Not in.And only the entrance interface name 2a is recorded on the magnetic stripe.Not in.Therefore, it is impossible to grasp any information on which route on the toll road the vehicle having the ticket 1 has reached the exit interchange.
[0011]
Therefore, it is not possible to completely prevent an illegal act of exchanging the pass ticket 1 between two vehicles of the same vehicle type and paying the toll cheaper than the regular fee.
Specifically, in FIG. 14, it is assumed that the vehicle 4a enters from the inter A on the toll road 5 and exits at the inter D, and the vehicle 4b enters from the inter E on the toll road 5 and exits at the inter B. In this case, when the passing tickets 1 are exchanged in the service area SA, the driver of the vehicle 4a pays only the charge for the passage section between the inter E and the inter D when leaving the inter D. In addition, when the driver of the vehicle 4b exits at Inter B, he pays only the charge for the passage section between Inter A and Inter B.
[0012]
Thus, in the conventional toll collection system, fraud is likely to occur in payment of tolls.
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and in the payment of the toll using the card at the exit interface by pre-writing the card information in the toll ticket in the service area or parking area, the driver and It is an object of the present invention to provide a toll collection system for toll roads that can greatly reduce the work burden on the staff and greatly reduce the toll collection time.
[0013]
At the same time, the purpose is to provide a toll collection system for toll roads that can greatly reduce the probability of illegal payment of tolls by writing the passing information of the corresponding position on the pass ticket of each vehicle in the service area and parking area And
[0014]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention issues a toll ticket that records inter information for identifying the relevant inter to the driver of vehicles entering the toll road at the entrance ticketing machine of each inter on the toll road, and pays at the exit toll collector of each inter The present invention is applied to a toll collection system for a toll road that collects a toll based on the inter-information recorded in the pass ticket possessed by the driver of the vehicle leaving the road.
[0015]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, in claim 1 of the present invention, a card deposited from a driver who wishes to pay a toll with a postpaid card in each service area and each parking area on a toll road A card information writer for writing the card information on a pass ticket possessed by the driver after the check of the validity of the card information recorded on the card is provided.
[0016]
Furthermore, when the card information is written in the pass ticket possessed by the driver of the exiting vehicle at the exit toll collector of each interport, the card that collects the toll required by using this card information Sales processing means are added.
[0017]
In the toll road toll collection system configured in this way, the driver who wishes to pay the toll with a postpaid card is self-sufficient with the card information writer provided in each service area and each parking area. The card information of the card possessed by is written on the pass ticket owned by the same person. Then, it is possible to pay the toll card using only the pass ticket on which the card information is recorded at the exit interface. As a result, the work efficiency of payment (collection) of charges at the exit interface is greatly improved.
[0018]
Since the validity check of the card is performed in advance by the card information writer, it is not necessary to perform the validity check again at the exit fee collector of the exit interface, and the processing speed of the exit fee collector can be further improved. .
[0019]
Further, according to claim 2 of the present invention, in each service area and each parking area on the toll road, a passing ticket possessed by a driver of a vehicle passing through this area passes through the corresponding area including each lane going up and down. A passage information writer for writing passage information to be specified is provided.
[0020]
Furthermore, when the passing information is written in the pass ticket possessed by the driver of the exiting vehicle for the exit toll collector of each inter, the inter information that specifies the ingress operator written in the same pass ticket And unauthorized traffic monitoring means for monitoring unauthorized traffic of the exiting vehicle based on its own inter-information identifying the exiting intercom and passing information.
[0021]
In the toll collection system for toll roads configured in this way, the pass ticket possessed by the driver of the vehicle that has stopped at each service area and each parking area must pass through the corresponding area, including information on the passing direction. The passing information shown is written.
[0022]
The exit toll collector at the exit interport will accept this toll pass if the passing information recorded on the pass ticket indicates a passing position and direction that do not exist between the inter information that identifies the entering intercom and this exiting intercom. It can be determined that the ticket is not a leaving vehicle. Therefore, the probability that illegal fee payment can be prevented in advance is increased. This is because there is a high probability that unauthorized exchange of a pass ticket will be performed in a service area or a parking area.
Furthermore, the invention of claim 2It also has the function of improving the card payment processing efficiency of claim 1 described above.It is.
[0023]

The CPU 48, the program memory 49, the keyboard 38, the display 40, the customer display 46, and the data transmission / reception unit 57 connected to the regional management device 23 are connected to the system bus 47 via the transmission path 24. Yes.
[0037]
Further, the prepaid card R / W 51 for updating the reduction of the card balance with respect to the prepaid card 50 inserted from the card insertion slot 43, and the pass ticket 9 inserted from the pass ticket insertion slot 41 are entered into the system bus 47. A card R (reader) that reads card information recorded on a postpaid card 34 such as a house card or a credit card inserted from the card insertion slot 42, a ticket reader 52 that reads the ticket information stored in the magnetic stripe 18. 52, a printer 54 for printing a toll on the receipt 44, a database 55, and a sales totaling file 56 are connected.
[0038]
In the database 55, as shown in FIG. 9A, a black list table 57 for storing card types and card numbers of cards related to accidents and thefts, and an interface in which the exit fee collector 16 is installed. A toll table 58 and a touring route table 59 for storing each toll corresponding to each toll section from 7 to each other intercom for each vehicle type are formed.
[0039]
In the traffic route table 59, the number of each service area including the up and down lanes included in the corresponding traffic section and the parking area of each toll road section of the toll road from each of the other interns to its own inter 7 are listed. The number is stored.
[0040]
For example, in the case of the toll road 5 shown in FIG. 14, the route (traffic section) from Inter A to its own Inter B in the travel route table 59 of the exit fare collector 16 of the Inter B is an upstream. Only the parking area (PA) number is set. Therefore, when the vehicle 6 that holds the pass ticket 9 in which the inter A is recorded leaves the inter pass B, a parking area other than the upstream parking area (PA) and other service areas are added to the pass ticket 9. If the passage information 18g to be specified is written, it can be determined that there is fraud.
[0041]
In the sales summary file 56, as shown in FIG. 9B, the cash sales total file 60 when the toll is collected in cash, and the prepaid card sales total file 61 when the toll is collected by the prepaid card 50. , Credit card sales information file 62 that stores sales information for each customer (card holder) when tolls are collected by credit card, and for each customer (card holder) when tolls are collected by house card House card sales information file 63 is stored.
[0042]
The card information writing machine 10 provided in the service area 6 and the parking area executes the card writing process according to the flowchart shown in FIG.
In S1 (step) 1, when the pass ticket 9 is inserted from the pass ticket slot 25, a pass ticket flag indicating that the pass ticket 9 has been inserted is set to 1 (S2). When a post-payment card 34 such as a credit card or a house card is inserted from the card insertion slot 26 (S3), after confirming that the pass ticket flag is set to 1 (S4), the inserted card 34 The card information such as the card type and card number magnetically recorded on the card is read by the card reader 35 (S5).
[0043]
Next, the black list table 37 is searched with the read card type and card number (S7). When it is confirmed that the card number is not registered, the read card information is written as the card type 18e and the card number 18f in the magnetic stripe 18 of the passing ticket 9 being inserted by the card R / W 33 (S8). Next, the printer 36 is activated, and the message 19 in which the card number has been written by the printer 36 is printed out on the passing ticket 9 that is also inserted, as shown in FIG. 2B (S9).
[0044]
Then, the card 34 is discharged (S10) and the pass ticket 9 is discharged (S11). Finally, the pass ticket flag is cleared to zero.
If the card number is registered in the black list table 37 in S7, the card 34 is a use-prohibited card, so a message “Card cannot be used” is displayed on the display 27 (S13). Without passing the card information to the pass ticket 9, the pass ticket 9 and the card 34 are discharged as they are.
[0045]
Further, the exit toll collector 16 disposed at the exit gate 15 of the inter 7 executes toll collection processing according to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.
In Q1, when the pass ticket 9 of the vehicle 8 exiting from the inter 7 is inserted through the pass ticket insertion port 41, the pass ticket information shown in FIG. 3 stored in the magnetic stripe 18 of the pass ticket 9 is read ( Q2).
[0046]
When the passage information 18g is included in the read passage ticket information (Q3), route check processing is performed using the passage route table 59 of the database 55 at Q4 (Q4).
[0047]
Specifically, with respect to a route (traffic section) determined by an inter number 18b indicating an entry inter of the corresponding vehicle stored in the magnetic stripe 18 and an inter number of the inter 7 where the exit toll collector 14 is installed. The elf numbers of all service areas and parking areas including the registered up / down lanes are read from the travel route table 59. When the passage information 18g read from the pass ticket 9 is included in each area number read from the pass route table 59, it is determined that the pass ticket 9 is a normal pass ticket 9. On the contrary, if it is not included, it is determined that this pass ticket 9 is an illegal pass ticket 9.
[0048]
If it is illegal (Q5), a warning of unauthorized use of the pass ticket 9 is output to the display 40 (Q6). Once a warning of unauthorized use is output, the process does not return to Q1 unless a staff member performs a reset operation (Q7).
[0049]
When the route check is normal (Q5), and when the passage information 18g is not recorded from the beginning in the ticket 9, the process proceeds to Q8, and the toll corresponding to the toll section of the vehicle 8 is read from the toll table 58 ( Calculated) and displayed on each display 40, 46 (Q9).
[0050]
Next, when the card type 18e and the card number 18f are included in the read pass ticket information (Q10), card sales processing is executed at Q11. That is, the previously calculated toll and the card number 18f are cumulatively registered in the credit card sales information file 62 or the house card sales information file 63 specified by the card type 18e. Further, the printer 54 prints a toll on the receipt 44 and issues a receipt.
[0051]
If the card type 18e and the card number 18f are not included in the read toll ticket information at Q10, it is determined that the toll is paid by card or cash at this interface 7.
[0052]
When the card 34 is inserted from the card insertion slot 42 at Q12, the card information of the card 34 is read by the card reader 53 (Q13), and the validity of the card 34 is checked using the black list table 57. (Q14). If it is valid (Q15), the process proceeds to Q11, and the card sales process described above is executed. Then, the card 34 is discharged.
[0053]
If the card 34 has been registered in the blacklist table 57 (Q15), the process proceeds to Q16, “Card Unusable” is displayed on the indicators 40 and 46, the card 35 is ejected, and Q17 in FIG. Proceed to
[0054]
In Q17, when the prepaid card 50 is inserted into the prepaid card insertion slot 43, a prepaid card sales process is executed in Q18. That is, the card balance is read by the prepaid card R / W 51, the toll is reduced from this card balance, and the updated card balance is written again into the prepaid card 50 and discharged. At the same time, the toll is added to the total amount of the prepaid card sales total file 61.
[0055]
In addition, when the amount deposited from the driver is input from the keyboard 38 at Q19, it is determined that the toll is paid in cash, and the presence of change is determined by subtracting the toll from the deposited amount (Q20). . If there is a change, a predetermined change process is executed (Q21). Thereafter, cash sales processing is executed at Q22. Specifically, the toll is added to the total amount of the cash sales file 60. Then, the printer 54 is activated and a receipt 44 is issued.
[0056]
In the toll road toll collection system configured as described above, the driver of the vehicle 8 entering the toll road 5 from the inter 7 receives the pass ticket 9 at the entrance ticketing machine 14 of the entrance gate 13. When the service area 6 or the parking area is used and the user wishes to pay the toll with a postpaid card 34 such as a credit card or a house card, the toll ticket 9 and the card 34 are transferred to the card information writing machine 10. Insert into the pass ticket insertion slot 25 and the card insertion slot 26. Then, the card information of the card 34 inserted simultaneously in the magnetic stripe 18 of the pass ticket 9 is written, and the card number written message 19 is printed out.
[0057]
In the case of cash payment, prepaid card 50 payment or coupon ticket payment, it is not necessary to write card information.
All the vehicles 8 that use the service area 6 and the parking area are the passage information writing machines 12 installed at the exits 11 to the main line of the service area 6 and the parking area. The passage information 18g indicating that the corresponding area has been passed is written, and the message 20 indicating that the corresponding area has been passed is printed out.
[0058]
And when leaving the toll road 5 at the intended inter 7 with such a pass ticket 8, the driver of the vehicle 8 only has to hand only the pass ticket 9 to the attendant at the exit gate 15 of the inter 7. When the attendant who has received the toll ticket 9 inserts the toll ticket 9 into the toll ticket insertion slot 41 of the exit fare collecting machine 16, the toll is automatically used by using the card information stored in the toll ticket 9. Card sales are processed.
[0059]
As described above, when the driver performs a writing operation on the pass ticket 9 using the card information writer 10 in the service area 6 or the parking area, the driver can set the pass ticket 9 at the exit gate 15 of the inter 7. There is no need to hand the card 34 to the staff, and only the pass ticket 9 is sufficient. Further, the attendant only needs to receive only the pass ticket 9 from the driver and insert it into the pass ticket insertion slot 41. Therefore, the toll collection work efficiency at the exit gate 15 of the inter 7 can be greatly improved.
[0060]
Further, since the validity check of the post-payment card 34 is carried out in advance by the card information writing machine 10, it is not necessary to carry out by the exit fee collection machine 16 at the exit gate 15 of the inter 7, and the exit of the inter 7 The toll collection work efficiency at the gate 15 can be further improved.
[0061]
Furthermore, the pass ticket 9 possessed by the driver of the vehicle 8 that has stopped at each service area 6 and each parking area indicates that the passage information writer 12 has passed through the corresponding area including the information on the upward and downward passage directions. The passage information 18g shown is written.
[0062]
In the passage route table 59 of the exit toll collector 16 of the exit gate 15 of the inter 7, each inter is registered as all passage information that can be passed for the passage section of the corresponding pass ticket 9. Has been.
[0063]
Therefore, when the passing information recorded in the passing ticket 9 indicates a passing position and a passing direction that do not exist in the passing section that can be specified by the inter information specifying the entering intercom and the leaving intercom, this passing ticket 9 is the corresponding exiting vehicle. It can be determined that the legitimate pass ticket 9 is not 8.
[0064]
Therefore, for example, there is a high probability that unauthorized charges can be prevented from being paid by exchanging the pass ticket 9 in the parking area 6 or the service area. This is because there is a high probability that unauthorized exchange of the pass ticket 9 is performed in the service area 6 or the parking area. That is, since it is very dangerous to exchange the pass ticket 9 on the main road of the toll road 5 without stopping at the service area 6 or the parking area, the pass ticket 9 in which the passage information 18g is not written is used. The probability of fraud can be considered to be very small by nature.
[0065]
Further, in the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2B, when the card information is written or the passage information is written in the magnetic stripe 18 of the pass ticket 9 later, the message 19, 20 is printed out.
[0066]
Therefore, the person in charge at the exit gate 15 of the inter 7 can intuitively determine the payment method of the toll and the presence / absence of fraud only by reading the messages 19 and 20 of the pass ticket 9.
[0067]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, in the toll road toll collection system of the present invention, the card information is written in advance in the service ticket in the service area or parking area. Therefore, in the payment of the toll using the card at the exit interface, the workload of the driver and the staff can be greatly reduced, and the toll collection time can be greatly shortened.
[0068]
Furthermore, since the passing information of the corresponding position is written in the pass ticket of each vehicle in the service area and the parking area, the probability of illegal payment of the toll can be greatly reduced.
