Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a system for preventing illegal passage (passing) of automobiles traveling on toll roads such as Shonen Road.

Expressway interchanges generally have toll gates 3 or 4 Qr. for Yuri Higashi Line 1 and outbound lane 2, as shown in Figure 1.
Therefore, as shown in Figure 2, cars that enter the expressway at the A and B interchanges are separated by 1 point, 1 point, and 0 points.
There are all changing tables, cars that entered at point A or exited at point B',
If a car enters at point A' and exits at point A', it would have to pay tolls between A and B' and B and A'.
There are drivers who only have to pay the tolls for B-B' and A-A', and this is causing a major problem as the management company's income decreases.

In response to this, a method has recently been proposed in which the place and time of entry are memorized in the pass ticket, and when exiting the bath, the distance and time are used to detect unauthorized passage, but this method does not allow reliable fraud checks. Can not.

The reason for this will be explained with reference to FIG.

In Figure 3, A, B, B' are interchanges with the same meaning as in Figure 2, C is a place where all non-traffic exchange is to be performed, t is l-C, t is C-A', t , is B"C,'
4 is the time required for C-'B', t^^'mlyu and tAA'□ are the minimum and maximum times from A to 8, respectively, for determining illegal traffic, and 'BB'ml++ and 'BBmax are B-H for determining illegal traffic.
' is the minimum and maximum time between.

Here, in order to determine that it is illegal passage, '+ + t*ki'AA'mln~tAA'yu, 8 and 's+t4ki'! 11'1lllll~tIIIl-□
However, the time r in III a There is a need to decide, and there is considerable variation, and it is necessary to make a decision with a large middle tone, making it impossible to truly prevent illegal passage.

The purpose of the present invention is to detect illegal traffic on expressways and other toll roads by checking the absolute vehicle number, which is an absolute thing. This is what I did.

The above-mentioned object of the present invention is to provide a system in which toll gates for up and down lanes are located at the same location on a toll expressway such as a rope expressway, so that the vehicle number is memorized on the toll ticket issued at the toll gate for passengers and vehicles on the toll road. ,
Furthermore, when a vehicle leaves a toll road, the vehicle number of the vehicle departing from the toll road is compared with the vehicle number stored in the pass ticket to detect illegal passage.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

Figure 4 is a configuration diagram of the f-=i money entrance, 4 is the l 'l' V camera for detecting the car number, and 5 is the HITV camera 4 that optically converts the human-powered Higashi 41i into electrical signals and stores them. 6 is a car number magnetization device that magnetizes the car number on a card, 7vi is a ticket issuing machine, 8 is an entrance gate that opens and closes automatically, and 9 is a car.

- In the above configuration, when the car 9 enters the toll gate entrance, the ITV camera 4 for car number detection captures the car number 90, and transmits the electric signal to the image processing device jt5. The image processing device 5 first A/D converts the electrical signal and stores it in the image memory section.

Next, the signal is subjected to processing to extract information other than vehicle number information (preprocessing to check whether it contains garbage, d (5 or noise), etc., depending on the interest rate), and then processing to extract the specific vehicle number (called feature extraction). ) to recognize the car number. This car number information is further transmitted to the car number magnetization device 16, where the car number is magnetized on a ticket (magnetic card) and handed to the driver via the ticket issuing machine 7.At the same time, the entrance gate 8 is opened and the car 9 will enter the Shima Expressway. .

Next, Figure 5 is a configuration diagram of the interest rate outlet exit section, 1o and 11i.
, j, toll H in Figure 4 "I for vehicle number detection similar to the entrance section"
'l'V camera and image processing device, 12 is a pass ticket = 1 pick-up fence, 131 is a car number verification machine, 14 is a V alarm that informs the vehicle number verification rate - accident detection iCl/~inver, 15Pi automatic opening/closing The hot spring gate, 16, is a car.

In the above configuration C, when a car 16 comes to the exit of a toll gate and the driver inserts the ticket into the ticket reader 124, the machine 12 resists and reads the magnetized toll ticket. Send the information to the car number verification machine 13) 1 koku On the other hand, similarly to the "Person 1" section of the fare F, the I l' for 14L
V camera l (l or car 16 number 11 711j)
7 The image processing device 11 transmits the %I number to the image processing device 11. The image processing device 11 recognizes the vehicle number without extracting MiJi and %Iia, as explained in the section []. 7 That information is sent to the car number verification machine 13. Here, the vehicle number verification machine 13r compares it with the phone number information sent from the pass ticket reader 12, and if -1 matches, it is normal. As an escort, the hot spring gate 15 will be fully opened automatically 11115 or stomach, outside the expressway - \ will be allowed to pass.If the results on line 1144 do not match, it will be considered illegal passage. ) so lift-gill 4
A warning is issued for all unauthorized traffic, the hot spring gate 15 is kept closed, and after the customer is made to pay a prescribed fee such as a premium fee, the hot water hot water gate 15 is opened to allow a car 16 to pass. The entire block diagram for the explanation of FIGS. 4 and 5 is shown in FIG. 6.

As is clear from the above explanation, by handling information such as the car number, which cannot exist in multiple numbers, it is possible to reliably prevent illegal traffic, and also to add an automatic toll collection machine to this example. It can also be unmanned.

The above is an explanation of one embodiment of the present invention. In this example, the vehicle number is automatically stored on the pass ticket using a TV camera.1. A tollgate employee visually confirms the m on the ticket.
It may be possible to make it memorize.

At this time, by marking the car'ti prominently on the ticket, the driver can be made more aware and fraud can be better prevented.

According to the VC of the present invention, since illegal traffic can be reliably detected, it is possible to reduce the loss of revenue due to illegal traffic, which is said to amount to several billion yen per year just in the case of Shosei Road. can.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. On toll highways such as commercial roads that stop at toll gates for up and down vehicles or at the same location, the vehicle number should be recorded on the toll ticket issued at the toll gate when exiting the toll road, and This is a toll road unauthorized traffic prevention system that detects unauthorized traffic by comparing the vehicle number of the vehicle when leaving the vehicle with the vehicle number stored in the pass ticket.
