As shown in the figure, the vehicle detection device 50 including the tread 51 and the vehicle separator 52 detects the traffic of the vehicle, and the lane control device 53 detects the traveling lane of the traffic vehicle based on the detection result. Further, the front portion of the vehicle is photographed by a camera (not shown), and the photographed image information is sent to the data processing device 54 to detect the vehicle number of the passing vehicle. On the other hand, the staff at the toll gate visually confirms the vehicle type and then
Take out the toll ticket from the toll ticket issuing machine 55 and hand it over to the driver, in which vehicle type information, entrance toll gate entry date and time information, etc. are entered.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the structure of a conventional entrance toll gate equipped with an automatic ticket issuing machine. As shown in the figure, the vehicle type discriminating device 60 automatically discriminates the vehicle type, and based on the result, the automatic ticket issuing machine 55a issues a traveling ticket according to the vehicle type. Further, the vehicle type identification device 60 is provided with a camera 61, and takes an image of a vehicle passing without receiving a pass ticket. The photographed image is image-processed by the image processor 62 in the tollgate office and then sent to the data processor 54.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the structure of a conventional exit toll gate. The clerk receives the pass ticket or the highway card from the driver and inserts it into the pass ticket confirmation machine 56 or the highway card processor 57. The ticket checker 56 automatically reads the entrance toll gate information, vehicle type information, check barrier information, etc. written on the ticket, and uses it based on the exit toll gate number and processing date and time at the exit toll gate. The charge is calculated and displayed on the charge display 58. Then, the clerk receives cash or a coupon from the driver, collects the usage fee, and then issues a receipt with the receipt issuing machine 59.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the structure of a check barrier provided between the entrance toll gate and the exit toll gate, which is mainly used to prevent illegal use of toll roads. The clerk receives the pass ticket from the driver and inserts it into the pass confirmation machine 56. The pass ticket checker 56 confirms the validity of the pass ticket and checks the barrier information (for example, check barrier number, passing date and time information) on the pass ticket and hands it to the driver.

The toll road toll collection device of FIGS. 6 to 9 described above has the following problems. (1) Personnel must be placed at the entrance toll gate, check barrier, and exit toll gate, and the usage fee must be collected for all vehicles traveling on the toll road, so the burden on the personnel is large. (2) Staff must always work while being exposed to exhaust gas, which is not preferable in terms of working environment. (3) The driver has to stop the vehicle at the entrance toll booth, check barrier and exit toll booth, which is likely to cause congestion because it takes time. In addition, a large amount of exhaust gas is emitted due to repeated start and stop, which causes environmental problems. (4) The driver has to carry cash or a prepaid card at all times, which is troublesome. (5) Even when it is raining, heating in winter, cooling in summer, etc., it is necessary to open the window to receive a toll ticket, collect tolls and cards, and receive receipts, which imposes a heavy burden on the driver.

In order to solve the above problems, AVI (Auto
A fare collection system that eliminates the need to pass tickets, cash, cards, etc. at toll booths and check barriers has been put into practical use in some countries in Europe and the United States, and has also been introduced in Japan. Is planned. In this type of toll collection system, a unique ID
A recording device that stores information and charge information is provided inside the vehicle so that the recording device can be read and written from the tollgate without contact. Examples of the form of the recording device include a portable IC card and a reading device thereof separated from each other, a unit in which the IC card and the reading device are integrally formed, and the like. I will call it.

With regard to the IC card, it is possible to select a prepaid system, a postpaid system, or a coupon ticket system according to the contract between the card user and the road administrator.
Used data and remaining charge data are stored in the card.

FIGS. 10 to 12 are views showing an example of this type of fee collection system (see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-233907).
0 is the unmanned entrance toll booth, Fig. 11 is the unattended exit toll booth, and Fig. 12
Shows an overview of the unattended check barrier.

Various devices are installed near the entrance toll booth, the exit toll booth, and the check barrier (hereinafter, these devices are collectively referred to as roadside devices),
When the vehicle passes through each toll gate or check barrier, it communicates with the vehicle to read and write information stored in the IC card and determine whether or not the vehicle can pass. For example, at the entrance toll gate, information such as the toll gate number and the passing time of the toll gate is written in the IC card. Similarly, in the check barrier, information such as the check barrier number and the check barrier passage time is written in the IC card.

In each roadside device, a vehicle determined to be illegal is photographed by a camera and used as reference data when collecting a fee, and is registered in a negative list to help prevent fraud.

On the other hand, at the exit toll gate, the information stored in the IC card of the passing vehicle, such as ID information, vehicle information, entrance toll gate information, check barrier information, etc., is read out and the information is obtained at the exit toll gate. AVI information,
The collected amount of money is calculated by collating with the passing date and time information, negative information, etc., and the fee is collected based on the remaining charge data stored in the IC card. As described above, it is not necessary to pass the toll ticket or cash at the tollgate, and it becomes possible to pass the tollgate or the check barrier nonstop.

[0013]

However, since the conventional toll collection system does not take measures against a stolen vehicle, it has the following problems. The capture of stolen vehicles must rely on the visual inspection of the toll collectors, and as the number of passing vehicles increases, it becomes impossible to detect them and it becomes impossible to detect stolen vehicles. The IC card can be freely inserted and removed, and it is not possible to externally judge whether or not it is a stolen product. Therefore, the IC card may be misused.

The sign 21 is for notifying the passing vehicle of the type of toll gate or check barrier, and displays information for determining whether or not the gate is for an automatic toll collection system, for example.

The vehicle separator / tread 23 determines the type of passing vehicle (for example, whether the passing vehicle is a towing vehicle or the like) by detecting the number of axles of the passing vehicle. The camera 24 is used to determine the vehicle type of a passing vehicle, and, for example, captures a vehicle for which normal communication could not be performed or a vehicle with insufficient charges. The roadside processing device 25 is connected to a center computer, and relates to roadside-vehicle information (for example, various information transmitted from the vehicle-mounted communication unit 100) and blacklist information (IC card 6 that is prohibited from use due to unauthorized use). Information) etc. are accumulated. The display board 26 displays information required by the driver of the passing vehicle, such as communication contents with the vehicle-mounted communication unit 100, toll road fee information, instruction information to the passing vehicle, and road information.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a communication procedure between the roadside device 200 installed at the entrance or exit toll gate or the check barrier and the in-vehicle communication unit 100. Hereinafter, based on FIG. 4, this embodiment will be described. The operation will be described.

When the vehicle approaches the toll gate or the check barrier, the radio wave transmitted from the antenna 21 of the roadside device 200 is received by the vehicle-mounted communication unit 100, and the communication between the vehicle and the roadside device 200 is started. When the roadside processing device 25 cannot normally communicate with the vehicle, the roadside display device 26 displays the vehicle guidance information to guide the vehicle to a manned gate.
To be displayed. If the vehicle does not follow the instructions on the roadside display board 26, the camera captures the vehicle number and the like.

On the other hand, when the system information transmitted from the roadside device 200 is normally received by the vehicle-mounted communication unit 100, the vehicle-mounted communication unit 100 stores the received system information in the RAM 55. Next, the vehicle-mounted communication unit 100 transmits the ID code information, IC card information, etc. stored in the RAM 63 inside the IC card 6 to the roadside device 200. Specifically, the in-vehicle communication unit 1
00 ID code information, vehicle information such as vehicle type and number of axles, I
C card valid / invalid information, payment method information, balance information, postpaid information, etc. are transmitted.

These pieces of information are input to the roadside processing device 25 inside the roadside device 200, the toll road usage fee collection process is performed inside the roadside processing device 25, and various information is displayed on the display board 26. The displayed information is, for example, the end information of the fee collection process, the toll information, the balance information of the IC card 6 after the fee collection, and the like. Further, the roadside processing device 25 transmits information unique to the tollgate and the check barrier to the in-vehicle communication unit 10.
Send to 0. The information to be transmitted is, for example, toll gate number information, vehicle type information, lane gate number information, toll gate passage date / time information, toll collection result information (information indicating whether payment has been normally completed), or the like.

On the other hand, when a vehicle theft report is issued from the owner of the vehicle, the stolen vehicle information (for example, vehicle type, number of axles, vehicle body color and vehicle number) and in-vehicle device information (for example, in-vehicle communication unit 100 and IC card). 6 each ID code) is stored in the memory inside the roadside processing device 25. Then, the roadside processing device 25 determines whether or not the passing vehicle is a stolen vehicle based on these pieces of information.

When it is determined that the passing vehicle is a stolen vehicle, the roadside processing device 25 displays the vehicle guidance information on the roadside display board 26 so as to guide the vehicle to the manned gate. At the same time, the roadside processing device 25 transmits the theft information to the vehicle-mounted communication unit 100, and the vehicle-mounted communication unit 100 receiving the theft information stores the theft information in the RAM 55 of the unit body 13 and the RAM 63 of the IC card 6. The IC card 6 in which the theft information is once stored cannot be used thereafter, and the unauthorized use of the IC card 6 is prevented.

Further, the vehicle-mounted communication unit 100 that has received the theft information informs the surroundings that the vehicle is a stolen vehicle by an alarm sound or a voice. Specifically, a warning sound is continuously emitted, a word such as "theft vehicle" is repeatedly output as voice, and when the power switch of the vehicle-mounted communication unit 100 is turned off, the battery power is used or the ignition key is used. When is turned off, the battery of the vehicle-mounted communication unit 100 is used to repeatedly output the alarm sound and voice.
The alarm sound and voice output can be stopped only when a specific condition is satisfied, such as when the theft device 200 transmits the theft cancellation information or when the stolen vehicle can be captured.

When the stolen vehicle comes to the manned gate according to the instruction of the roadside display board 26 and is stopped, the toll collector asks the driver to present the IC card and confirms whether the stolen vehicle is the stolen vehicle. As a result, if it is confirmed that it is not a stolen vehicle,
The theft information stored in the IC card is erased by the operation of the collector.

On the other hand, when the stolen vehicle passes through the toll gate or the check barrier without following the instruction of the roadside display board 26, the roadside device 200 transmits invalid information to the passing vehicle. The control circuit 5 inside the vehicle-mounted communication unit 100 that has received this invalid information sends a signal to the cutter 13 to cut the IC card. This makes it possible to externally determine that the IC card has been illegally used.

Further, even if the passing vehicle is not a stolen vehicle, even if the IC card of the passing vehicle cannot pay the usage fee for the toll road due to insufficient charges and the vehicle does not stop at the exit toll gate, roadside equipment The invalid information is transmitted from 200 to the passing vehicle, and the in-vehicle communication unit 100 cuts the IC card.

As described above, in the first embodiment, when the theft information or the invalid information is transmitted from the roadside device 200 to the vehicle-mounted communication unit 100, a part of the IC card is cut off. It is possible to externally judge that the IC card has been illegally used, and it is possible to reliably prevent the illegal use of the IC card.

-Second Embodiment- FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a second embodiment of the vehicle-mounted communication unit 100. As shown in the figure, the second embodiment is common to the first embodiment except that the IC card inserted in the card insertion slot 15 is provided with a lock mechanism 14 that prevents the IC card from being pulled out. When the theft information or invalid information from the roadside device 200 is received, the control circuit 15 inside the vehicle-mounted communication unit 100 activates the lock mechanism to lock the IC card inside the card insertion slot 15 to cancel the theft cancellation information or invalid information. I until the cancellation information is newly received
Do not remove the C card.

As the lock mechanism 14, for example, it is conceivable that a hole having a small outer diameter is formed in advance in an IC card and a lock pin is engaged with this hole to lock the IC card. Further, by preventing the lock from being released until the theft cancellation information or the invalid cancellation information is received from the roadside device 200, it is possible to reliably prevent illegal use of the IC card.

In the second embodiment, in addition to the lock mechanism, the cutting machine 13 is provided as in the first embodiment.
There is no need for a cutting machine. As described above, in the second embodiment, the use of the IC card can be prohibited without cutting the IC card, and if the IC card is not cut, the owner of the legitimate owner will be stolen after the vehicle or the IC card is stolen. When returning to hand, the authorized owner can continue to use the IC card, and can save the trouble of reissuing the IC card.

In each of the above embodiments, the roadside device 200 discriminates whether or not the vehicle is a stolen vehicle, and the result is judged.
However, the in-vehicle communication unit 100 may determine whether the vehicle is a stolen vehicle.

In the embodiment constructed as described above, I
The C card 6 corresponds to the charge information storage device, the roadside device 200 corresponds to the roadside communication control device, the in-vehicle communication unit 100 corresponds to the in-vehicle communication control device, and the cutting machine 13 corresponds to the shape changing means.

[0042]
