Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an information transmission system using a separate payment plate used, for example, as a toll collection means for specific users of toll roads.

Generally, a toll collection system on an expressway hands a toll ticket to the driver at the entrance gate, a toll collector receives the toll ticket at the exit gate, and charges the toll based on various information recorded on the toll ticket. It is calculated and billed.

However, it is extremely troublesome for carriers and the like who regularly use expressways to pay tolls every time they use the expressway. Therefore, a toll collection system is implemented in which so-called special users, such as these transport companies, use expressways all the time, in which they pay tolls, for example, for one month at a time.

Specifically, the specified user will be issued with a separately paid plate that records fixed information such as the user's individual code number. When the specific user uses the expressway, he or she first receives a toll ticket at the entrance gate, and then hands the toll ticket and separate payment plate to the toll collector at the exit gate.

The toll collector inserts these passes and separate payment plates into the toll collection device. Then, the toll collection device reads the entrance gate number and vehicle model number from the ticket.

The fare is calculated from vehicle operation information such as year, month, day, hour, minute, etc., and fixed information such as the user's individual code number is read from the separate payment plate. After the information processing by the toll collection device is completed, the toll collector returns only the separately paid plate to the user.

On the other hand, the tolls and user code numbers processed by the toll collection device will be processed by the data processing device, and once the records of the processing results for one month are compiled, the specific user will be billed for the toll. It has become.

In this way, current separate payment plates only record individual codes necessary for toll billing, and do not record data such as input gate numbers or other vehicle operation information. Therefore, the driver had to fill out all vehicle operation information etc. in a prescribed form and submit it to the specified user.

In addition, there are many cases where it is necessary to exchange information such as work reports or work instructions between the specific user's office and the driver, but this type of information exchange can only be done by separate means such as telephone. was the reality.

The present invention has been made based on the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide vehicle operation information, work reports, work instructions, etc. between the specific user's office, etc. and the driver via the separately paid plate. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an information transmission method that enables the exchange of business information and streamlines document creation, delivery work, etc. on the side of specific users.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is characterized by the following configuration. In other words, a magnetic strip unit that records fixed information such as the user's code number, traffic information such as one-pass gate per day of travel, work instructions to the driver, and an accumulation area where the driver can record or read work reports, etc. An information terminal device is installed in the vehicle of a specified F□ user, and a toll collection device is installed at the tollgate as a device for reading and writing information to the separately paid plate consisting of a circuit section. A central data processing unit will be installed in the offices, etc. of specified users. This central data processing device and the toll collection device are connected online via a communication line, and information can be exchanged between the specific user's office, etc. and the vehicle via the separate payment plate. It is characterized by
