Has been done.

Reference numeral 3 denotes, for example, a toll charge for an expressway or the like based on wireless communication with the wireless communication station 2 by storing charge information purchased or rented in advance from a road administrator and prepaid in the vehicle 5. In-vehicle device for payment, processing control unit 31, memory unit 32, transmission unit 33, reception unit 3
4 and an antenna 34. 4 is an island for separating each lane in the toll collection facility, and 5 is a passing vehicle.

Here, the management table 12 in the fee transfer control device 1 stores the table contents as shown in FIG. 6, for example. That is, from the entrance toll booth of each entrance interchange to the toll booth, light cars, ordinary cars,
Toll list data table 12a that stores data on each toll for medium-sized vehicles, large vehicles, and oversized vehicles, and blacklist information 12b that stores ID information of stolen notifications, delinquent charges, forced breakthroughs, and other malicious vehicles. The contents of are stored.

The memory section 32 in the in-vehicle device 3 stores in-vehicle device information, charge information, and entrance information. The in-vehicle device information is the in-vehicle device I.
D, information on vehicle types of emergency vehicles and vehicles subject to discounts for the use of persons with disabilities, and other information on license plates as necessary. As the entrance information, the entrance toll gate number and the entrance date and time of the entrance toll gate. There are passing dates and times, vehicle type information determined at the entrance toll gate, lane numbers of passing lanes, and the like. Further, the charge information is set by paying cash at a charge office or the like, and is deducted at the time of collecting the charge and accumulated at the time of repurchasing.

[0006] Next, the operation of the toll collection system for a traveling vehicle of the type in which the toll calculation is performed in the roadside device having the above configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 7. First, when the vehicle-mounted device 3 passes through a gate (hereinafter referred to as an unmanned gate) having a charge collection function by wireless communication at the entrance toll gate, it receives the above-mentioned entrance information from the wireless communication station 2 at the entrance toll gate, and the memory unit 32. Stored in. In this state, when the passing vehicle 5 equipped with the in-vehicle device 3 enters the unmanned gate of the exit toll gate and enters the communication area of the wireless communication station 2, the in-vehicle device 3 receives the entrance information received at the entrance toll gate, The in-vehicle device information and the like are transmitted to the fee collection control device 1 via the wireless communication station 2 (step S60).

The charge collection control device 1 performs validity check and charge calculation from the received data based on the charge list data table 12a of the management table 12 and the blacklist information 12b (steps S61 and S62). For example, in the validity check, the travel time to the exit toll gate is calculated based on the reception of the entrance information, and the time is checked whether the travel time is too early or too late. Based on the reception of the in-vehicle device information, it is checked whether the ID information of the in-vehicle device is an unauthorized vehicle corresponding to the blacklist information 12b. The check result,
If it becomes invalid, you can either stop it and perform regular cash settlement, or process the payment procedure at a later date. In addition, the charge calculation is based on the reception of the entrance information and the charge table data table 12 described above.
The charge is calculated with reference to a.

Then, the applicable fee is transmitted to the vehicle-mounted device 3 via the wireless communication station 2 to deduct the fee (step S6).

At that time, if there is no shortage of the balance, new balance information and detailed information are written in the memory unit 32 in the vehicle-mounted device 3. On the other hand, if there is a shortage of the balance, it is stopped and the ordinary cash settlement is performed or the payment procedure is processed at a later date (steps S65 and S66).

Next, FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a toll collection system for a traveling vehicle of a type in which a toll calculation is performed in an on-vehicle device. 8, the same components as those shown in FIG. 5 are designated by the same reference numerals, and 1 is a charge collection control device that controls and monitors roadside devices related to automatic charge collection and cooperates with a higher-level processing device (not shown). The charge collection control unit 11 is built in. Reference numerals 2a and 2b are first and second wireless communication stations for controlling wireless communication in roadside devices, respectively. The first wireless communication station 2a is installed on the roadside in front of the island 4, and the second wireless communication station 2b is The wireless communication stations 2a and 2b are installed in the vicinity of an unmanned gate. The wireless communication stations 2a and 2b include a communication control unit 21, a transmitting unit 22, a receiving unit 23, and an antenna 24, and the first wireless communication station 2a further includes A management table 25 including blacklist information and a tariff data table having the same contents as the management table 12 shown in FIG. 6 is provided. Reference numeral 3 denotes an in-vehicle device, which includes a control processing unit 31, a memory unit 32, a transmitting unit 33, a receiving unit 34, and an antenna 35. 4 is an island and 5 is a passing vehicle.

The operation of the toll collection system for a passing vehicle of the type in which the toll calculation is performed in the on-vehicle device having the above-mentioned configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. First, when the vehicle-mounted device 3 passes through the unmanned gate at the entrance toll gate, it receives the entrance information from the wireless communication station 2 at the entrance toll gate and stores it in the memory unit 32. In this state, when the passing vehicle 5 equipped with the in-vehicle device 3 enters the communication area of the first wireless communication station 2a installed on the roadside in front of the island 4, the in-vehicle device 3 is moved from the first wireless communication station 2a. The charge table data table of the management table 25, the blacklist information, and the like are received, and validity check and charge calculation are performed (steps S80 to S82).

As a result, when it is detected that the in-vehicle device 3 cannot be used or the balance is insufficient (when it is determined that the in-vehicle device 3 is invalid), the in-vehicle device 3 notifies to that effect and the current cash fee is charged. The lane will be changed to a gate with a toll collection function (hereinafter referred to as a manned gate), a waiting place, etc. If the vehicle-mounted device 3 is valid, when entering the unmanned gate and entering the communication area of the second wireless communication station 2b, the charge information, the entrance information, the vehicle-mounted device information and the like are transmitted from the vehicle-mounted device 3 to the second wireless communication. While transmitting to the fee collection control device 1 via the station 2b, the corresponding fee is deducted (steps S83 to S).
85). On the other hand, if there is a shortage of balance, the lane is changed and ordinary cash settlement is performed at the manned gate, or the payment procedure is performed at a later date (steps S83 and S86).

[0012]

In the conventional toll collection system for a passing vehicle, as described above, in the method of calculating the toll on the roadside device, the validity check and the toll calculation are
It was necessary to perform it in the gate in order to make one-to-one communication between the roadside equipment and the onboard equipment. For this reason, when collecting cash from a passing vehicle 5 equipped with an unauthorized vehicle-mounted device 3 instead, the vehicle must be stopped or the vehicle must be specified and billed at a later date. However, in the latter case, there were problems such as the complexity of billing work at a later date.

That is, since the charge is calculated near the gate of the exit toll gate and the shortage of the charge before entering the gate cannot be known, the vehicle with the shortage of charge must be stopped at the unmanned gate. The vehicle must also stop or slow down, resulting in a reduction in the number of gated units per unit time.

In addition, in the method of calculating the charge in the in-vehicle device, the validity check / charge calculation is performed in the in-vehicle device before entering the gate, and if it is invalid, it is notified to the waiting place dedicated to the illegal vehicle to notify the user. Is relatively easy to induce. However, nationwide tariff data tables and a large amount of blacklist information must be transmitted to in-vehicle devices, and a certain distance from the main line to the toll gate is required to secure a wide communication area. It is difficult to secure the distance at some tollgates, and it is expected that the capacity of the tollgate table will further increase due to an increase in tollgates due to route expansion, diversification of routes, and subdivision of vehicle types. .
In addition, along with this, the cost of in-vehicle equipment increases due to diversification and complexity of in-vehicle equipment, and system management becomes more complicated (every time the function of in-vehicle equipment is improved, it is necessary to collect in-vehicle equipment of all users. ) And other problems.

That is, the necessary fare can be calculated based on the contents of the fare table data table before entering the gate, and the driver can know the lack of fare before entering the gate. Therefore, the lane can be changed from the unmanned gate to the manned gate. , There was a problem with the method of sending the contents of the tariff data table. In other words, the contents of the applicable toll list data table are all vehicle types that can use the expressway and the amount of charge from each tollgate on the expressway, so the service extension of the applicable expressway is relatively long and the number of tollgates is large. If there are many vehicle types, this tariff will have a huge amount of data. For this reason, when there is a large amount of tariff data, it becomes impossible to send all the tariff data tables within a limited time and a limited distance, which makes it difficult to apply this method. In addition, when the applicable expressway is extended in the future and the content of the toll table data table increases, the same problem occurs.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and can notify the user whether or not the vehicle can pass before entering the gate at the exit toll gate, and the geographical distribution of the toll gates nationwide. The objective is to obtain a toll collection system for passing vehicles that allows for a flexible system construction without major remodeling considering factors. It is also an object of the present invention to obtain a toll collection system for passing vehicles that can easily cope with an increase in toll gates due to future route expansion, diversification of routes, and subdivision of vehicle types.
