PARKING COLLECT SYSTEM USING OF HIGH-PASS CARD}

The present invention relates to a parking fee collection system using a high pass card, and more specifically, to establish a high pass card collection means to automatically collect parking fees through a high pass card in an unmanned parking lot, thereby dramatically reducing the initial facility cost of an unmanned parking lot. The present invention relates to a parking fee collection system using a high pass card, which is intended to reduce the number of parking fees, and greatly reduce the parking fee settlement time of the borrower.

As is well known, the toll collection method of toll roads such as highways is tolled by the toll collector manually at the exit toll gate after the toll prepaid card or toll is issued at the road toll gate, or in some sections the toll gate fee. The collector collects tolls manually. This is caused by vehicle congestion due to vehicles stopping at the toll gate for toll collection, and there are various problems such as increase in labor costs due to the arrangement of the toll collector and expenditure due to issuance of prepaid cards or toll tickets.

Therefore, to solve the above problems and to minimize the inconvenience and traffic delays caused by toll collection, and to introduce the intelligent transportation system for the purpose of computerizing toll collection, toll gates are automatically collected at toll gates in some sections of the expressway. HIGHPASS system that installs a wireless transmission / reception system for the vehicle and installs an OBU on the vehicle to automatically settle the toll by the wireless transmission / reception system and the wireless communication method so that the toll can be automatically collected even during the high-speed driving of the vehicle. Is being implemented.

In the high pass system, an OBU mounted in a vehicle is detachably inserted with a contact high pass card equipped with an intelligent IC chip capable of reading card information and storing data on the card, and the OBU reads the high pass card. The data can be entered. The high pass card is installed in the card insertion unit of the OBU, and the interface between the high pass card and the OBU is made through a contact method, and for the high pass payment, the transaction is possible only when the high pass card is inserted into the OBU.

The OBU communicates with a wireless transceiver of the toll automatic toll collection system, which is installed at a toll gate, for example, by using an infrared or RF method, so that the inserted high pass card (for example, the card identification information and the current charge amount) is used. New information that wirelessly transmits information to the wireless transmission / reception system side and calculates tolls from the charge amount of the high pass card based on charging information (for example, tolls, etc.) wirelessly transmitted from the wireless transmission / reception system side, and deducts the toll fee. After the balance is updated and stored in the high pass card, the toll settlement result information (for example, the renewed balance amount) is wirelessly transmitted to the wireless transmission / reception system side. Subsequently, the OBU transmits and stores settlement processing response information (for example, receipt information, etc.) that has been wirelessly transmitted from the wireless transmission / reception system side to a high pass card.

This series of processes is performed in the wireless communication section with the toll gate automatic transmitting / receiving system installed in the toll gate, and even if the vehicle equipped with the OBU passes through the toll gate at high speed, it is within the wireless communication section with the wireless transmitting / receiving system for the automatic toll collection. Tolls should be settled in the OBU.

However, this high-pass system is simply a system built to pay tolls when the vehicle is on the highway. Compared to OBU, which requires a rather excessive purchase cost, the highpass system has a single function toll payment function. It acts as a significant limiting factor.

In particular, in the case of a parking fee collection system applicable in the same way, a parking ticket is still issued, and a parking fee settlement system is still in operation due to the parking ticket. Or excessive operating costs, and in the case of an unmanned parking lot there was a problem that the initial investment cost is excessive. In addition, the borrower has a problem that the departure time is delayed because the parking fee must be settled through a separate parking fee setter.

Therefore, it is urgent to prepare a solution to solve this problem.
