In addition, the vehicle types covered here refer to vehicle types based on Category 1 of the toll system for toll roads.

Vehicle-related information detected by 11 vehicle sensors (vehicle type,
The detection output of the axle, etc.) is sent to the terminal.

On the other hand, the terminal 21 receives the ticket information written on the ticket carried from the entrance gate by the driver of the vehicle that entered the gate.

Based on the detection output of the vehicle sensor 1, the terminal device 2 determines whether the vehicle that entered the gate matches the presented pass ticket (the vehicle type and the number of axles described here).

The terminal device 2 compares the output of the vehicle sensor 1 with the ticket information as described above, and if there is no abnormality in the ticket information, the ticket information is directly stored in the storage device 6t via the control device 3. be done.

Furthermore, if an abnormality is found in the pass ticket information 1, the terminal 2 displays the pass ticket information read from the terminal 2 and the In addition to displaying the output of vehicle sensor 1,
A television camera 4 installed inside the gate displays images of vehicles entering the gate on the same screen.

These pieces of information are displayed on the screen of the image display device 5, and the guard can ascertain which item of the pass ticket information is incorrect.

For example, if the abnormality in the ticket information is the vehicle type, the guard sends an instruction to the terminal 2 to change the vehicle type.

When an instruction to change the vehicle type is given, a vehicle type change instruction lamp on the keyboard section of the manual information input device of the terminal 2 lights up.

The gate staff inputs the correct ticket information using the keyboard under this instruction lamp.

Here, all keys unrelated to the instruction contents are electrically or mechanically locked.

Therefore, one mistake in keyboard operation by the gate staff can be prevented.

Furthermore, the keyed-in information is again sent to the image display device 5ic and displayed, and is checked by the supervisor.

The information corrected in this way is sent to the control device 3 in response to a command from the supervisor, and is stored in the storage device 6r under the control of the control device 3.

In this way, one normal pass ticket information is always stored in the storage device 61.

In the above explanation, the terminal device 2 has the function of comparing the output of the vehicle sensor 1 and the ticket information, but the output of the vehicle sensor 1 and the ticket information can be directly displayed on the image display device. Of course, there is no problem even if the information is entered in 5 and verified by the monitor.
