Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, a fee judging / collecting system 1 (hereinafter simply referred to as a system 1) of the present invention includes an automatic ticket collection machine 2 and an automatic payment machine 4 installed in the premises of each railway station, and each train Data transmission / reception device 6 (hereinafter simply referred to as data transmission / reception device 6) installed in the train, and predetermined data between the automatic ticket collection machine 2, the automatic payment machine 4, and the data transmission / reception device 6 It includes a center processor 10 for transmitting and receiving and controlling the entire system 1. The data transmitter / receiver 6 installed in each train transmits and receives data to and from an ID card carried by the passenger, that is, a boarding card C (described later) at a timing when passing through each station.

When the passenger carrying the boarding card C goes to the destination station by rail, the data of all the passing stations including the boarding station and the destination station are transmitted via the data transceiver 6 at a predetermined timing. It is transmitted to the boarding card C and written on the boarding card. The data transmitted to the boarding card C is transmitted to the center processor 10 via the data transceiver 6 together with the boarding card ID code as necessary. For example, in a control in which the amount of data written in the boarding card C is relatively large (in the case of crossing or double riding), passing station data is transmitted to the center processor 10 and processed by the center processor 10.

When the passenger gets off at the destination station, the collection ticket processing and the settlement processing are performed based on the passing station data written on the boarding card C itself or the passing station data transmitted to the center processor 10. You.

FIG. 2 shows a schematic configuration of the boarding card C. The boarding card C has a CPU 11 that controls the operation of the entire boarding card C. The CPU 11 outputs the information indicating the section in which the boarding board can be boarded by the boarding card C together with the encoded data on the departure station, the transit station, and the destination station.
RAM 12 storing the D code, ROM 13 storing the control program for the boarding card C, display section 14 for displaying various messages, vibrating section 15 for warning the abnormality by vibrating when an abnormality such as crossing or double riding occurs. ,
Also, a speaker 16 that issues a warning by voice when an abnormality occurs is connected. Note that it is sufficient that at least one of the vibration unit 15 and the speaker 16 is provided.

Next, a description will be given, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When a passenger carrying a boarding card C storing information about a departure station, a transit station, and a destination station (hereinafter, referred to as encoding information) as information indicating a boardable section, gets on a train, the data transceiver 6 installed in the car , The encoding information of the boarding card C is acquired by the center processor 10 together with the ID code (step 1). Then, based on this encoding information, it is determined whether or not the boarded train stops at the destination station (here, the destination station) (step 2), and when it is determined that the train passes without stopping at the destination station. At (Step 2; NO), a message such as “passing the destination station” is displayed via the display unit 14 of the boarding card C, and a warning by vibration or voice is issued via the vibration unit 15 and / or the speaker 16 ( Step 3). In addition, at least one of the vibrating unit 15 and the speaker 16 may be operated in the subsequent control.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the train stops at the destination station as a result of the determination in step 2 (step 2; YE
S) At the timing when the boarding train passes each station, the data of each station is transmitted as passing station data to the boarding card C via the data transmitter / receiver 6 each time and written in the boarding card C (step 4). At the same time, the passing station data is transmitted to the center processor 10 together with the ID code of the boarding card C (step 5), and is acquired by the center processor 10 as passing station data corresponding to the ID code.

For example, if the boarding range of the boarding card C is a part of a circular route, if the vehicle crosses the circular route a plurality of times after passing through the destination station, the obtained passing The amount of station data increases. For this reason, in a control in which the amount of data to be acquired increases, it is desirable that the center processor 10 acquires and processes passing station data.

The acquired passing station data is a boarding card C
Each time the data is transmitted by itself or the center processor 10, the data is checked against the encoding information of the boarding card C,
It is determined whether or not the passing station is within the boarding range of the boarding card C (step 6). That is, it is determined whether the passenger has passed the destination station and turned over at the next station, or the above-mentioned double riding. As a result, if it is determined that the passing station is a station within the ridable range (step 6; YES), it is conditioned on not getting off at the passing station and performing a ticket check process (step 7; NO). Returning to the processing of step 4, the subsequent data processing relating to the passing station is repeated.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 6 that the passing station is out of the ridable area (step 6; NO), it is determined that the vehicle has passed or double-ridden, and a warning is issued via the boarding card C ( (Display, vibration, voice) are issued (step 8). At this time, the center processor 10 also determines that the boarding card C has deviated from the boardable range. Further, when a warning is issued via the boarding card C, the fact that the boarding card C has departed from the boarding section may be notified via a portable in-vehicle adjustment machine carried by the conductor. .

At this time, if the settlement by the in-car settlement machine carried by the conductor is selected (step 9; YES), the in-car settlement machine is settled by the passenger's declaration, and the adjusted data is written on the boarding card C. Rarely, at the same time, the settlement data and the ID code of the boarding card C are sent to the center processor 1
0 (step 10). At this time, if there is a crossover or a double ride, the corresponding passing station data is written in the boarding card C, or the corresponding passing station data is acquired by the center processor 10. Overrides and compounding are also settled. As a result, the boarding card C for which the in-vehicle settlement has been completed can be inserted into the automatic ticket collection machine 2 as it is and can pass through the automatic ticket collection machine 2 (step 11).

By the way, when processing the adjusted data written on the boarding card C itself through the automatic ticket collection machine 2,
When the processing speed by the center processor 10 is relatively high, the adjusted data written on the boarding card C is drawn up by the center processor 10 and it is determined whether or not the vehicle can pass.
On the other hand, if the processing speed by the center processor 10 is relatively slow, the pass / fail of the pass is determined from the passing station data or the adjusted data obtained in advance corresponding to the ID code of the boarding card C. Is transmitted to the automatic ticket collection machine 2 in advance. Thus, when the boarding card C is inserted into the automatic ticket collection machine 2, it is quickly determined whether or not the boarding is allowed.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 9 that the in-vehicle settlement is not performed (step 9; NO), the passing station data after the passing station at which the warning indicating that the vehicle has departed from the boarding section is issued in step 8 is the boarding card. It is written after C,
The ID code is transmitted to the center processor 10 (step 12). Then, when the passenger gets off the train (Step 13; YES), if the settlement by the automatic settlement machine 4 is selected (Step 14; YES), the automatic settlement machine 4 is set.
After the payment processing is performed and the payment completed data is written in the boarding card C, the passage through the automatic ticket collection machine 2 is permitted (step 15). In step 14, the automatic payment machine 4
Is not selected (Step 14; N)
In O), the settlement / ticketing process is performed by the station staff (step 16).

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the data of the passing station through which the train passes is transmitted and written to the boarding card C each time, and is transmitted to the center processor 10 together with the ID code. In addition, the boarding card C itself or the center processing machine 10 can reliably grasp the regular boarding route. For this reason, even if there is a crossover or a double ride, a regular ride fare along the boarding route can be determined, and a normal ride fare for the crossover or double ride can be reliably received.

Next, a method of adjusting the fare will be described with reference to specific examples of the above-described crossing and double riding. FIG. 4 shows an example of a route map for explaining the overtaking. When going from the boarding station A to the destination station B, take the express train at the station A, pass the station B once, change to the local train in the opposite direction at the station C outside the boarding area, and return to the station B, the passing station As the data, the data of A → B → C → B is acquired by the boarding card C itself and / or the center processor 10.
In this case, at the destination station B, based on the obtained passing station data and the encoding information (departure station, transit station, arrival station) of the boarding card C, the boarding route A → B → C
→ The fare (fee for akm + bkm) along B is settled, the adjusted data is written into the boarding card C and acquired by the center processor 10, and the passage through the ticket gate is permitted.

FIG. 5 shows an example of a route map for explaining the squaring. Here, the station A on the ring route is a temporary starting station, and the station C far from the station A is a temporary terminal station. When going from the boarding station B to the destination station D, passing through the station A, the passing station data of the station A is acquired, and the boarding distance adjusted at the station D is 5 km. On the other hand, when going from station A to station D via station C, the passing station data of station C is obtained and D
The boarding distance settled at the station is 5.5km.

When boarding from station B on such an annular route and returning to B station after making two rounds on the annular route, passing station data of each station is acquired twice, and the boarding distance calculated is 10.5 ×
2 = 21 km.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can be variously modified within the scope of the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, a warning to that effect is issued when the vehicle goes beyond the boarding section in the encoding information of the boarding card C. However, it is not always necessary to warn.
