Description

この発明は、有料道路の料金所に設置された複数の料金収受用のゲートのうち、少なくとも１つのゲートに、車両に搭載された車載器との無線通信により料金収受処理を行う路側機器を設置したノンストップ自動料金収受システム（Electronic Toll Collection；ＥＴＣ（登録商標））で運用される料金所の車線運用方法に関するものである。   In the present invention, a roadside device that performs toll collection processing by wireless communication with an onboard device mounted on a vehicle is installed at least one gate among a plurality of toll collection gates installed at a toll gate on a toll road The present invention relates to a lane operation method for a toll gate operated by the non-stop automatic toll collection system (Electronic Toll Collection; ETC (registered trademark)).

有料道路料金所での料金の収受は、従来、料金所各ゲートのブースの係員と車両の運転手との現金や回数券などの受け渡しやプリペイドカードによる支払いによっていたが、かかる方法では車両が料金収受場所で完全に一旦停止する必要があるため、料金所付近で車両の流れが滞ることが多い。   Toll collection at toll road toll gates has traditionally been based on the delivery of cash, coupon tickets, etc. between the booth staff at each toll gate gate and the driver of the vehicle, and payment by a prepaid card. Since it is necessary to stop completely at the receiving place, the flow of vehicles often stagnate near the toll booth.

そこで、かかる不都合を解消し、料金所の渋滞発生を少なくするための方法として、料金所をノンストップで走行しながら料金の収受を行うノンストップ自動料金収受システム（ＥＴＣ（登録商標））が導入された。このＥＴＣ（登録商標）は、料金所に設置される路側機器（アンテナ等）と車両に搭載した車載器との双方向無線通信により、ノンストップで料金の収受を行うシステムである。   Therefore, a non-stop automatic toll collection system (ETC (registered trademark)) that collects tolls while traveling non-stop at the toll booth was introduced as a method to eliminate such inconvenience and reduce the occurrence of traffic congestion at the toll booth. It was done. This ETC (registered trademark) is a system that collects charges non-stop by two-way wireless communication between a roadside device (such as an antenna) installed at a toll booth and a vehicle-mounted device mounted on a vehicle.

そして、ＥＴＣ（登録商標）を導入した料金所では、車載器を搭載したＥＴＣ（登録商標）車（自動料金収受機能車載器搭載車）と車載器を搭載しない非ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車とでは、料金の収受方法が異なることから、従来からの料金手払いによる従来車線とＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用車線とを併設している。   And at toll gates that have introduced ETC (registered trademark), ETC (registered trademark) vehicles equipped with onboard equipment (automatic toll collection function equipped vehicles) and non-ETC (registered trademark) vehicles without onboard equipment Since the toll collection method is different, a conventional lane by conventional fee manual payment and an ETC (registered trademark) vehicle dedicated lane are provided side by side.

ところで、現状はＥＴＣ（登録商標）車の数が渋滞を緩和するのに十分なものに達していないため、ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用車線を非ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車も利用できる混在車線に切り替えて、料金所全体としての交通処理能力を上げるＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用車線切替運用を行っている。   By the way, since the number of ETC (registered trademark) vehicles has not reached enough to alleviate traffic congestion, the ETC (registered trademark) dedicated lane is now a mixed lane that can also be used by non-ETC (registered trademark) vehicles. ETC (registered trademark) dedicated lane switching operation is performed to increase the traffic processing capacity of the toll gate as a whole.

図３はその一例を示すもので、２つのＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用ゲート１と３つの非ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用ゲート２とを設置した料金所３で、これら合計５つのゲートに至る、３本の車線の全てを混在車線４ａ、４ｂ、４ｃとして、ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車５も非ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車６も前記混在車線４ａ、４ｂ、４ｃを走行してそれぞれＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用ゲート１や非ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用ゲート２に到達する。   FIG. 3 shows an example of this. A toll gate 3 with two ETC (registered trademark) car-dedicated gates 1 and three non-ETC (registered trademark) car-dedicated gates 2 is installed, and these total five gates are reached. All of the three lanes are mixed lanes 4a, 4b, 4c, and both ETC (registered trademark) vehicle 5 and non-ETC (registered trademark) vehicle 6 travel in the mixed lanes 4a, 4b, 4c, respectively. (Trademark) Car-only gate 1 and non-ETC (registered trademark) car-only gate 2 are reached.

しかしながら、このようなＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用車線切替運用によっても向上できる交通処理能力には限界があり、能力以上に需要交通量が増えると渋滞が発生することを防止できない。そして、渋滞が発生するとＥＴＣ（登録商標）車５も非ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車６と同様に渋滞に巻き込まれることになるため、混在車線４ａ、４ｂ、４ｃからＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用ゲート１に到達できるまでの時間が長くなってＥＴＣ（登録商標）車５にとっても料金所通過に要する時間が長くなり、非ＥＴＣ車６と大差がなくなり、ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車５であることの優位性、利点がなくなる。   However, there is a limit to the traffic processing capacity that can be improved even by such an ETC (registered trademark) vehicle dedicated lane switching operation, and it is impossible to prevent the occurrence of traffic congestion when the demand traffic volume increases beyond the capacity. When a traffic jam occurs, the ETC (registered trademark) car 5 is also involved in the traffic jam in the same manner as the non-ETC (registered trademark) car 6, so the ETC (registered trademark) car gate is mixed from the mixed lanes 4a, 4b, 4c. It takes a long time to reach 1 and the time required for the ETC (registered trademark) car 5 to pass through the toll booth is also longer, so there is no significant difference from the non-ETC car 6 and the ETC (registered trademark) car 5 There is no advantage or advantage.

そこで、各料金所における交通量の変化やＥＴＣ（登録商標）利用率の変化といったような、当該料金所固有の交通状況に応じた最適な車両交通流を確保し、交通渋滞の緩和、解消を行い、料金収受業務を効率的に行うとともに、最終的には利用者の利便性を向上できるようにしたものがある（例えば、特許文献１参照）。この特許文献１は、料金所の交通量やＥＴＣ（登録商標）利用率をコンピュータで計算し、その計算結果から、料金所の各レーン（車線）の運用形態をＥＴＣ（登録商標）専用・混在・従来・閉鎖のいずれかに決定し、各レーン（車線）に設けられた各システムの機器を利用可能な状態に保ちながら、各レーン（車線）の運用形態の表示と実際の運用形態を自動的に切り替えるものである。
特開２００１−１４３１１０号公報 Therefore, the optimal traffic flow according to the traffic conditions unique to the toll booth, such as changes in traffic volume at each toll booth and changes in the ETC (registered trademark) usage rate, is secured, and traffic congestion is alleviated and resolved. In some cases, the fee collection operation is efficiently performed, and the convenience of the user can be improved in the end (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This Patent Document 1 calculates the traffic volume and ETC (registered trademark) usage rate of a toll gate with a computer, and based on the calculation results, the operation form of each lane (lane) of the toll gate is dedicated to ETC (registered trademark) and mixed・ Determine whether the vehicle is closed or closed, and automatically display the operation mode and actual operation mode of each lane (lane) while keeping the devices of each system installed in each lane (lane) available. Is to switch automatically.
JP 2001-143110 A

ところが、特許文献１は、料金所での交通渋滞の緩和、解消を行うための手段として料金所の各レーン（車線）、すなわち料金所の各ゲートの運用形態を料金所の交通量やＥＴＣ（登録商標）利用率によって任意に設定するものであるので、各レーン（車線）の運用形態だけでなく、レーン（車線）に設けられるゲートでの料金収受方法の形態もレーン（車線）の形態にしたがって任意に切り替えられることになり、ゲート設備だけでなく、料金収受方法の切り替えの制御も容易ではない。   However, in Patent Document 1, as a means for alleviating and eliminating traffic congestion at a toll gate, the operation form of each lane (lane) of the toll gate, that is, each gate of the toll gate, is represented by the traffic volume of the toll gate and the ETC ( (Registered trademark) Since it is arbitrarily set according to the usage rate, not only the operation mode of each lane (lane) but also the form of toll collection at the gate provided in the lane (lane) is changed to the form of lane (lane) Therefore, it is possible to switch arbitrarily, and it is not easy to control not only the gate facility but also the charge collection method.

また、料金所全体の交通渋滞の緩和を目的とするもので、渋滞発生時におけるＥＴＣ車の優位性を確保しようとするものではない。   Moreover, it aims at alleviating traffic congestion at the toll gate as a whole, and does not attempt to secure the superiority of ETC vehicles when congestion occurs.

この発明は前記従来例の不都合を解消するため、請求項１記載の発明は、有料道路の料金所に設置された複数の料金収受用のゲートのうち、少なくとも１つのゲートに、車両に搭載された車載器との無線通信により料金収受処理を行う路側機器を設置したノンストップ自動料金収受システム（ＥＴＣ（登録商標））で運用される料金所の車線運用方法において、道路際に一定間隔で設置した速度センサで計測される車両の走行速度が所定値以下になり渋滞が発生したときには、複数のゲートに至る車線の全てをラインの表示によりＥＴＣ（登録商標）車（自動料金収受機能車載器搭載車）と非ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車とが走行可能としたの混在車線に、前記表示ラインとは異なる箇所の道路下に埋設され車線を区画する路面発光表示部の発光により、前記混在車線および路肩の幅員を縮小してＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用車線を新たに形成することを要旨とするものである。   In order to eliminate the inconvenience of the conventional example, the invention according to claim 1 is mounted on a vehicle at at least one gate among a plurality of toll collection gates installed at a toll gate on a toll road. In the lane operation method of the toll gate operated by the non-stop automatic toll collection system (ETC (registered trademark)) that has installed roadside equipment that performs toll collection processing by wireless communication with the onboard equipment, it is installed at regular intervals on the road When the running speed of the vehicle measured by the speed sensor falls below a predetermined value and traffic congestion occurs, all the lanes leading to multiple gates are displayed as ETC (registered trademark) vehicles (automatic toll collection function onboard equipment) Vehicle) and non-ETC (registered trademark) vehicles can run in mixed lanes, and light is emitted from the road surface light-emitting display section that embeds under the road at a location different from the display line and divides the lane Ri, it is an gist that the mixed lanes and hard shoulder width newly reduced to ETC (registered trademark) drive dedicated lane formation.

請求項１記載の本発明によれば、渋滞発生時には、料金所の各ゲートにおける料金収受方法は変更せずに、ＥＴＣ（登録商標）で運用されるゲートへ続くＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用車線を新たに形成することで、ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車はこの専用車線を走行することにより渋滞を避けてスムーズにゲートに到達できる。また、非ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車も、走行する車線からＥＴＣ（登録商標）車がＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用車線へ移動することで走行台数が減少するため、スムーズに走行できる。   According to the first aspect of the present invention, when a traffic jam occurs, the toll collection method at each gate of the toll gate is not changed, and the ETC (registered trademark) lane dedicated to the gate operated by the ETC (registered trademark) By newly forming the ETC (registered trademark) vehicle, it is possible to smoothly reach the gate by avoiding traffic congestion by traveling in this exclusive lane. Non-ETC (registered trademark) vehicles can also travel smoothly because the number of traveling vehicles decreases as the ETC (registered trademark) vehicle moves from the lane in which it travels to the ETC (registered trademark) vehicle dedicated lane.

また、ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用車線の新たな形成は、道路全体を拡幅せずに行えるから、容易であり、そして、既設の各車線および路肩の幅員を縮小しても、渋滞時で走行速度が遅くなっているから、交通の安全を脅かすことはない。 Moreover, new forms of ETC (registered trademark) drive dedicated lane, since perform the entire road without widening is easy, and, even by reducing the width of the beauty path shoulder Oyo each lane of the existing congestion Because the driving speed is slow at times, traffic safety is not threatened.

また、新たな車線の表示は、車線を区画する路面発光表示部の発光により行うから、路面発光表示部を動作させるだけでよく、道路上での作業がなく、安全で簡単に行える。   Further, since the display of the new lane is performed by the light emission of the road surface light emitting display section that divides the lane, it is only necessary to operate the road surface light emitting display section, and there is no work on the road, and it can be performed safely and easily.

請求項２記載の発明は、前記幅員が縮小された車線および新たに形成したＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用車線の表示長さは、渋滞の距離にしたがって決定することを特徴とする。 According to a second aspect of the invention, ETC (registered trademark) display length of the car-only lanes which the width is reduced lane and newly formed, and determining with distance traffic jam.

請求項２記載の本発明によれば、渋滞の距離に比例して幅員が縮小された車線および新たに形成されたＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用車線の長さが決定されるから、渋滞程度にしたがって確実に渋滞を緩和、解消できる。 According to the present invention described in claim 2, since the length of the width is reduced lane and newly formed in proportion to the distance congestion ETC (registered trademark) drive dedicated lane is determined, It can alleviate and eliminate traffic jams according to the level of traffic jams.

この発明は、有料道路の料金所に設置された複数の料金収受用のゲートのうち、少なくとも１つのゲートに、車両に搭載された車載器との無線通信により料金収受処理を行う路側機器を設置したノンストップ自動料金収受システム（ＥＴＣ（登録商標））で運用される料金所の車線運用方法において、渋滞発生時には、料金所の各ゲートにおける料金収受方法は変更せずに、ＥＴＣ（登録商標）で運用されるゲートへ続くＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用車線を新たに形成するだけの簡単な方法で、渋滞発生時におけるＥＴＣ（登録商標）車の優位性を確保できる。   In the present invention, a roadside device that performs toll collection processing by wireless communication with an onboard device mounted on a vehicle is installed at least one gate among a plurality of toll collection gates installed at a toll gate on a toll road In the lane operation method of the toll gate operated by the non-stop automatic toll collection system (ETC (registered trademark)), the ETC (registered trademark) does not change the toll collection method at each gate of the toll gate when traffic congestion occurs The ETC (registered trademark) vehicle's superiority in the event of traffic jams can be ensured by a simple method that only forms a new ETC (registered trademark) vehicle lane following the gate operated at the airport.

また、ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用車線の新たな形成は、道路全体を拡幅せずに行えるから、容易であり、そして、既設の各車線および路肩の幅員を縮小しても、渋滞時で走行速度が遅くなっているから、交通の安全を脅かすことはないものである。 Moreover, new forms of ETC (registered trademark) drive dedicated lane, since perform the entire road without widening is easy, and, even by reducing the width of the beauty path shoulder Oyo each lane of the existing congestion Because the driving speed is slow at times, it does not threaten traffic safety.

以下、図面についてこの発明の実施形態を詳細に説明する。図１はこの発明の料金所の車線運用方法の１実施形態を示す説明図、図２は同上運用方法による渋滞状況変化を示す説明図で、図中、図３に示した従来例と同一の構成要素には同一の参照符号を付してある。   Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing one embodiment of a lane operation method of a toll gate according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing a change in a traffic jam situation due to the operation method same as the above, and is the same as the conventional example shown in FIG. Components are given the same reference numerals.

この発明の料金所の車線運用方法も、基本構成は従来と同様に料金所３には例えば２つのＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用ゲート１と３つの非ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用ゲート２とを設置してあり、これら合計５つのゲートに至る車線は、前記ゲート数よりも少ない例えば３本とし、図２（ａ）に示すように渋滞が発生していない通常時には、３本の車線の全てを混在車線４ａ、４ｂ、４ｃとして、ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車５も非ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車６もこの混在車線４ａ、４ｂ、４ｃを走行してそれぞれＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用ゲート１や非ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用ゲート２に到達する。   In the toll gate lane operation method of the present invention, the basic configuration of the toll gate 3 is similar to the conventional one in the toll gate 3, for example, two ETC (registered trademark) vehicle dedicated gates 1 and three non-ETC (registered trademark) vehicle dedicated gates 2. There are three lanes that are installed and reach a total of five gates, for example, less than the number of gates. As shown in FIG. Are mixed lanes 4a, 4b, and 4c, and both ETC (registered trademark) vehicle 5 and non-ETC (registered trademark) vehicle 6 travel on mixed lanes 4a, 4b, and 4c, respectively. A non-ETC (registered trademark) car exclusive gate 2 is reached.

かかる構成の料金所において、この発明の実施形態では、例えば前記混在車線４ａ、４ｂ、４ｃの幅員は通常の３．５ｍに、路肩７ａ、７ｂの幅員は通常の１．７５ｍにそれぞれ設定され、道路全体の幅員は１４．０ｍになっている。   In the toll gate having such a configuration, in the embodiment of the present invention, for example, the width of the mixed lanes 4a, 4b, and 4c is set to a normal 3.5 m, and the width of the road shoulders 7a and 7b is set to a normal 1.75 m. The width of the entire road is 14.0m.

このような車線構成の料金所で、図１に示すように例えば路肩７ａ、７ｂの幅員を１．２５ｍに縮小し、混在車線４ａ、４ｂ、４ｃの幅員を２．７５ｍに縮小して、幅員２．７５ｍの３本の非ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車車線９ａ、９ｂ、９ｃとし、縮小により確保できる余裕幅と路肩スペースとで幅員３．２５ｍのＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用付加車線１０をＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用車線として新規に増設できるように構成する。   In the toll gate having such a lane configuration, as shown in FIG. 1, for example, the width of the road shoulders 7a and 7b is reduced to 1.25 m, and the width of the mixed lanes 4a, 4b and 4c is reduced to 2.75 m. Three non-ETC (registered trademark) lanes 9a, 9b, 9c of 2.75m, and ETC (registered trademark) additional lane 10 with a width of 3.25m with a margin width and shoulder space that can be secured by reduction are ETC. (Registered trademark) It is configured so that it can be newly added as a dedicated lane for vehicles.

新たに形成される車線を区画する路面発光表示部１１ａ、１１ｂ、１１ｃ、１１ｄ、１１ｅは、発行手段として、例えば発光ダイオード（ＬＥＤ）ランプや光ファイバーなどを使用して、道路下に予め埋設しておく。この路面発光表示部１１ａ〜１１ｅは、混在車線４ａ〜４ｃや路肩７ａ、７ｂを区画しているラインとは異なるものである。   The road surface light emitting display portions 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d, and 11e that divide the newly formed lane are embedded in advance under the road in advance by using, for example, a light emitting diode (LED) lamp or an optical fiber as an issuing means. deep. The road surface light emitting display portions 11a to 11e are different from the lines that divide the mixed lanes 4a to 4c and the road shoulders 7a and 7b.

また、ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用付加車線１０には同様に発光ダイオード（ＬＥＤ）ランプや光ファイバーなどを使用して例えば「ＥＴＣ（登録商標）」のような文字の路面発光表示部１２を設け、ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用付加車線１０がＥＴＣ（登録商標）専用であることを車両の運転者にわかるようにする。   In addition, the ETC (registered trademark) dedicated lane 10 is similarly provided with a light-emitting diode (LED) lamp, an optical fiber or the like, and a road surface light emitting display portion 12 of characters such as “ETC (registered trademark)”, for example. The driver of the vehicle is made aware that the ETC (registered trademark) dedicated additional lane 10 is dedicated to ETC (registered trademark).

さらに、道路際に一定区間（例えば１５ｍ）毎に道路を走行する車両の速度を検出する速度センサ１３を設置する。この速度センサ１３は道路の交通状態が渋滞状態かどうか判断するための指標の一つとして、走行速度を検出するためのものであり、例えば従来からスピード違反取り締まり用として使用されている機器を利用し、固定したマイクロ波源から走行する車両に対して電波を発射し、送信周波数と反射波の周波数との差を求めて車両の速度を非接触で計測するものである。   Further, a speed sensor 13 for detecting the speed of the vehicle traveling on the road is installed every certain section (for example, 15 m) on the road. This speed sensor 13 is used to detect the traveling speed as one of the indexes for judging whether the traffic state of the road is a traffic jam condition. For example, the speed sensor 13 uses a device that has been conventionally used for speed violation control. Then, radio waves are emitted to a vehicle traveling from a fixed microwave source, the difference between the transmission frequency and the frequency of the reflected wave is obtained, and the speed of the vehicle is measured without contact.

次にＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用付加車線１０を形成する方法を図２によって説明する。図２（ａ）のように渋滞が発生していない状態では、全ての３本の車線は混在車線４ａ〜４ｃとしてＥＴＣ車５も非ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車６も混在車線４ａ〜４ｃを走行している。   Next, a method for forming the ETC (registered trademark) dedicated lane 10 will be described with reference to FIG. In a state where there is no traffic jam as shown in FIG. 2 (a), all three lanes run as mixed lanes 4a-4c, and both ETC vehicle 5 and non-ETC (registered trademark) vehicle 6 travel in mixed lanes 4a-4c. is doing.

この間、車両の走行速度は速度センサ１３で計測され、設置した速度センサ１３の前区間（ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用ゲート１、非ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用ゲート２側）内の走行速度が例えば２０Ｋｍ／ｈ以下になったときには、渋滞状態と判断して図２（ｂ）に示すように設置した速度センサ１３の後区間（混在車線４ａ〜４ｃ側）の路面発光表示部１１ａ、１１ｂ、１１ｃ、１１ｄ、１１ｅを点滅させて、３本の非ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車車線９ａ、９ｂ、９ｃと１本のＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用付加車線１０とを設ける。   During this time, the traveling speed of the vehicle is measured by the speed sensor 13, and the traveling speed in the preceding section (the ETC (registered trademark) car dedicated gate 1 side, the non-ETC (registered trademark) vehicle dedicated gate 2 side) of the installed speed sensor 13 is For example, when it becomes 20 km / h or less, the road surface light emitting display portions 11a, 11b in the rear section (mixed lanes 4a to 4c side) of the speed sensor 13 that is determined as a traffic jam state and is installed as shown in FIG. 11c, 11d, and 11e are blinked, and three non-ETC (registered trademark) lanes 9a, 9b, and 9c and one additional ETC (registered trademark) lane 10 are provided.

同時にＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用付加車線１０は、ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車５専用のものであることを路面発光表示部１２の点滅により表示して車両の運転者に知らせる。   At the same time, the ETC (registered trademark) dedicated vehicle lane 10 is dedicated to the ETC (registered trademark) vehicle 5 by blinking the road surface light emitting display unit 12 to notify the vehicle driver.

これにより、非ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車６は３本の非ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車車線９ａ、９ｂ、９ｃを走行し、ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車５は１本のＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用付加車線１０をそれぞれ走行する。この状態で、非ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車車線９ａ、９ｂ、９ｃは渋滞が解消されていないが、ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用付加車線１０は専用車線であることから渋滞がなく、ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車５はスムーズに走行でき、ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用ゲート１に容易に到達できる。   Accordingly, the non-ETC (registered trademark) vehicle 6 travels in three non-ETC (registered trademark) lanes 9a, 9b, and 9c, and the ETC (registered trademark) vehicle 5 is dedicated to one ETC (registered trademark) vehicle. Travel on each additional lane 10. In this state, the non-ETC (registered trademark) lanes 9a, 9b, and 9c have no congestion, but the ETC (registered trademark) dedicated lane 10 is a dedicated lane, so there is no congestion and ETC (registered) (Trademark) Car 5 can travel smoothly and can easily reach ETC (Registered Trademark) Car Gate 1.

この場合、非ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車車線９ａ、９ｂ、９ｃの幅員は前の混在車線４ａ、４ｂ、４ｃよりも狭くなり、ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用付加車線１０の幅員も混在車線４ａ、４ｂ、４ｃよりも狭いものとして形成されるが、車両の走行速度が渋滞のため例えば２０Ｋｍ／ｈ以下になっているから、車線の幅員が縮小されても走行上の安全が脅かされるおそれはない。   In this case, the width of the non-ETC (registered trademark) lanes 9a, 9b, 9c is narrower than the previous mixed lane 4a, 4b, 4c, and the width of the ETC (registered trademark) dedicated additional lane 10 is also mixed lane 4a, Although it is formed to be narrower than 4b and 4c, the traveling speed of the vehicle is, for example, 20 Km / h or less due to traffic congestion, so there is no risk that the safety on driving will be threatened even if the width of the lane is reduced. .

図２（ｃ）〜（ｆ）のように、さらに渋滞の距離が延長して、前記のように非ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車車線９ａ、９ｂ、９ｃとＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用付加車線１０とを設けた区間も渋滞状態となった場合は、その後の区間（混在車線４ａ〜４ｃ側）の路面発光表示部１１ａ、１１ｂ、１１ｃ、１１ｄ、１１ｅを点滅させて、３本の非ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車車線９ａ、９ｂ、９ｃと１本のＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用付加車線１０とを、続けて設ける。   As shown in FIGS. 2 (c) to 2 (f), the distance of the traffic jam is further extended, and the non-ETC (registered trademark) lanes 9a, 9b, 9c and the ETC (registered trademark) dedicated additional lane 10 as described above. When the section provided with is also in a traffic jam state, the road surface light emitting display portions 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d, and 11e in the subsequent section (mixed lanes 4a to 4c side) are blinked, and three non-ETC ( (Registered Trademark) Lanes 9a, 9b, 9c and one ETC (Registered Trademark) vehicle dedicated additional lane 10 are provided in succession.

そして、前の区間（ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用ゲート１、非ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用ゲート２側）で点滅させていた路面発光表示部１１ａ、１１ｂ、１１ｃ、１１ｄ、１１ｅと路面発光表示部１２とは、点滅から点灯に切り替える。このようにして、渋滞の距離が延長するのに対応させて路面発光表示部１１ａ、１１ｂ、１１ｃ、１１ｄ、１１ｅと路面発光表示部１２とを順次点滅させ、その前の区間（ＥＴＣ車専用ゲート１、非ＥＴＣ車専用ゲート２側）で点滅していたものを点灯に切り替えていく。   Then, the road surface light emitting display portions 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d, and 11e and the road surface light emitting display flashed in the previous section (the ETC (registered trademark) car dedicated gate 1, the non-ETC (registered trademark) car dedicated gate 2 side) The unit 12 switches from blinking to lighting. In this way, the road surface light emitting display portions 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d, and 11e and the road surface light emitting display portion 12 are sequentially blinked in correspondence with the increase in the distance of the traffic jam, and the previous section (gate for ETC vehicles) 1. Turn on the flashing lights on the non-ETC car gate 2 side).

渋滞が解消すれば、後の区間（混在車線４ａ〜４ｃ側）から路面発光表示部１１ａ、１１ｂ、１１ｃ、１１ｄ、１１ｅと路面発光表示部１２との点灯を順次点滅に切り替え、さらに消灯に切り替える。   If the congestion is resolved, the lighting of the road surface light emitting display units 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d, and 11e and the road surface light emitting display unit 12 is sequentially switched to blinking and then switched off from the subsequent section (mixed lanes 4a to 4c side). .

以上のようにして、料金所３付近の車線が渋滞した場合、道路全体の幅員を拡幅することなく、ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用の車線を新規に設けることで、ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車５の優位性が確保でき、ＥＴＣ車（登録商標）５は料金所渋滞の影響を受けずにスムーズにＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用ゲート１に到達できる。その結果、ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用付加車線１０の通過台数が増加して利用効率が高まり、料金所全体としての交通処理能力がアップする。   As described above, when the lane near the toll gate 3 is congested, the ETC (registered trademark) vehicle 5 can be provided by newly providing a dedicated lane for the ETC (registered trademark) vehicle without widening the width of the entire road. The ETC vehicle (registered trademark) 5 can smoothly reach the gate 1 for the ETC (registered trademark) vehicle smoothly without being affected by the traffic congestion at the toll booth. As a result, the number of passing ETC (registered trademark) dedicated additional lanes 10 increases, the use efficiency increases, and the traffic processing capacity of the toll gate as a whole increases.

なお、混在車線４ａ〜４ｃを縮小して設けた、ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用付加車線１０以外の３本の車線は、前記のように非ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車車線９ａ、９ｂ、９ｃとすることに限定されるものではなく、混在の車線としてもよい。   The three lanes other than the ETC (registered trademark) additional lane 10 provided by reducing the mixed lanes 4a to 4c are the non-ETC (registered trademark) lanes 9a, 9b, and 9c as described above. It is not limited to be a thing, and it is good also as a mixed lane.

また、新規に形成したＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用付加車線１０は、非ＥＴＣ（登録商標）車車線９ａ〜９ｃよりも幅員が広く、緊急車両の通過スペースとしても利用できる。なお、上記の実施形態は、混在車線４ａ〜４ｃおよび路肩７ａ、７ｂの幅員の縮小により確保できる余裕幅と路肩スペースとでＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用付加車線１０を新規に増設できるように構成しているが、混在車線４ａ〜４ｃまたは路肩７ａ、７ｂの幅員に応じて、いずれか一方の幅員のみの縮小によりＥＴＣ（登録商標）車専用付加車線１０を新たに形成することもできる。   Moreover, the newly formed ETC (registered trademark) dedicated lane 10 has a wider width than the non-ETC (registered trademark) lanes 9a to 9c and can be used as a passing space for emergency vehicles. In addition, said embodiment is comprised so that the additional lane 10 only for an ETC (trademark) vehicle can be newly added by the margin width and road shoulder space which can be ensured by reduction of the width | variety of the mixed lanes 4a-4c and the road shoulders 7a and 7b. However, according to the width of the mixed lanes 4a to 4c or the road shoulders 7a and 7b, the ETC (registered trademark) additional lane 10 can be newly formed by reducing only one of the widths.
