When the product is purchased and the payment is made through the card, the product purchase amount information is transmitted to the traffic information receiving unit 31 of the toll collection terminal 30 through the card insertion unit 15.

The toll calculation unit 32 then calculates a discount on the toll in proportion to the source information, the entry / exit time information, and the purchase amount.

In this case, when the discount toll is calculated in proportion to the purchase price of the product, a part of the discount amount may be supported by the corresponding shop in consultation with the road construction side and the corresponding shop.

In this case, the stores located in the rest area can increase the sales of goods.

In another embodiment, the system further includes a vehicle status information server 50 as shown in FIG. 4.

The vehicle situation information server 50 photographs and stores the situation of the flow of the vehicle on the toll road in real time, and detects whether or not the speed of the vehicle in the toll road is less than a specified speed; And a discount information transmitter 52 for checking the corresponding section and time when the speed is less than the designated speed, and transmitting the section and time information and the rest area information included in the section to the toll collection terminal 30.

The discount information transmission unit 52 transmits the section and time information in which the speed of the vehicle is equal to or lower than the designated speed, and the rest area information included in the section to the toll information receiving unit 31, and the toll calculation unit 32 enters the entry / exit time. When at least one of the information is included in the time information, it calculates by increasing the toll discount rate.

That is, when the vehicle enters the rest area at the time when the car is blocked, it was conceived that it may be helpful to make the flow of the vehicle smooth.

In this case, it is preferable to apply a discount rate applied to the resting place visit time and a discount rate for visiting the rest area at a time when the vehicle speed is less than the designated speed, thereby increasing the toll discount rate.
