차종별 자동 과금 방법{AUTOMATION TOLL METHOD REGARD TO A CLASS OF CAR}Automatic charging method by car type {AUTOMATION TOLL METHOD REGARD TO A CLASS OF CAR}

본 발명은 지능형 교통 시스템(ITS ; Intelligent Transport Systems)에 관한 것으로 특히, 자동 과금 서비스에 있어서 차종별 자동 과금 방법에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), and more particularly, to an automatic charging method for each vehicle type in an automatic charging service.

현재 지능형 교통 시스템에서는 차량에 ETC(Electronic Toll Collection) 단말기를 장착하여 도로 이용 차량에 대한 요금을 부과하는 기술이 제시되어 있다.Currently, the intelligent transportation system has been proposed to charge a road vehicle by mounting an electronic toll collection (ETC) terminal in the vehicle.

종래 기술은 도1의 구성도에 도시된 바와 같이, ETC 단말기(110)를 장착한 차량이 ETC 통신 범위 내로 진입하면 상기 ETC 단말기(110)와 통신하면서 고유 번호를 수신하는 노변 기지국(120)과, 상기 차량의 영상을 촬영하기 위한 카메라(140)와, 상기 노변 기지국(120)으로부터 차량 진입과 그 차량의 고유 번호가 전송되어 오면 차량의 영상을 촬영하도록 상기 카메라(140)를 동작시키고 상기 카메라(140)의 촬영 영상을 분석하여 차종을 인식한 후 해당 차량에 대한 요금을 산출하는 정산 센터 서버(130)를 구비하여 구성된다.As shown in the configuration of FIG. 1, the conventional technology includes a roadside base station 120 that receives a unique number while communicating with the ETC terminal 110 when a vehicle equipped with the ETC terminal 110 enters an ETC communication range. And a camera 140 for capturing an image of the vehicle, and operating the camera 140 to photograph an image of the vehicle when the vehicle entrance and the unique number of the vehicle are transmitted from the roadside base station 120. It is configured to include a settlement center server 130 for analyzing the photographed image of 140 to recognize the vehicle type and calculates the fee for the vehicle.

이와같은 종래 기술의 동작 과정을 설명하면 다음과 같다.Referring to the operation of the prior art as follows.

ETC 단말기(110)를 탑재한 차량이 ETC 통신 범위 내로 진입하면 노변 기지국(120) 에서 송신하는 데이터를 수신하며 상기 ETC 단말기(110)는 상기 노변 기지국(120)에서 결정하는 채널로 고유 번호(ID)를 포함하는 데이터를 송신하게 된다.When the vehicle equipped with the ETC terminal 110 enters the ETC communication range, the vehicle receives the data transmitted from the roadside base station 120 and the ETC terminal 110 is a channel determined by the roadside base station 120. Will be sent.

이때, 노변 기지국(120)은 ETC 단말기(110)로부터 수신한 고유 번호(ID)를 정산 센터 서버(130)로 전송하며 상기 정산 센터 서버(130)는 차량 운전자를 인식한 후 카메라(140)를 작동시켜 해당 차량을 촬영하게 된다.At this time, the roadside base station 120 transmits the unique number (ID) received from the ETC terminal 110 to the settlement center server 130, the settlement center server 130 recognizes the vehicle driver and then the camera 140 Activate it to shoot the vehicle.

이에 따라, 정산 센터 서버(130)는 카메라(140)로 촬영한 차량 영상을 분석하여 차량의 종류(대,중,소형)를 인식한 후 해당 차량의 종류에 따른 요금을 산출하게 된다.Accordingly, the settlement center server 130 analyzes the vehicle image photographed by the camera 140 to recognize the type (large, medium, small) of the vehicle and calculates a fee according to the type of the vehicle.

즉, 종래 기술은 ETC 단말기(110)로부터 고유 번호를 수신한 후 카메라(140)로 차량 영상을 촬영하여 차량의 종류(대,중,소형)를 구분하고 그 구분된 차량의 종류에 따라 요금을 부과하게 된다.That is, the prior art classifies the type of vehicle (large, medium, small) by receiving the unique number from the ETC terminal 110, and then photographing the vehicle image with the camera 140, and charges according to the type of the separated vehicle. To impose.

그러나, 종래에는 요금 부과 서비스를 위하여 차량의 종류를 판별하기 위한 별도의 감지 센서 또는 감시 카메라를 설치하여야 함으로 운용 비용이 증가하는 단점이 있다.However, in the related art, a separate sensor or surveillance camera for determining the type of vehicle is required to charge a service, thereby increasing operating costs.

또한, 종래에는 차종 종류 판별을 위한 연산 시간이 지연됨으로 인해 요금 부과를 위한 처리 시간이 길어 시스템에 부하를 주는 단점이 있다.In addition, the conventional method has a disadvantage in that the processing time for charging the vehicle is delayed due to a delay in the calculation time for determining the type of the vehicle, thereby causing a load on the system.

따라서, 본 발명은 종래의 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 차량용 ETC 단말기에 차종 정보를 미리 기억시켜 차량이 ETC 통신 범위 내로 진입할 때 고유 번호와 함께 차종을 인식하고 그 인식된 차종에 따른 요금을 산출하도록 창안한 차종별 자동 과금 방법을 제공함에 목적이 있다.Therefore, in order to solve the conventional problem, the present invention stores vehicle model information in advance in a vehicle ETC terminal to recognize a vehicle model with a unique number when the vehicle enters the ETC communication range and calculates a fee according to the recognized vehicle model. The purpose is to provide an automatic charging method for each vehicle type.

이와같이 구성한 본 발명의 실시예에 대한 동작 및 작용 효과를 도4의 동작 순서도를 참조하여 설명하면 다음과 같다.The operation and the effect of the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be described with reference to the operation flowchart of FIG. 4.

ETC 단말기(210)를 탑재한 차량이 ETC 통신 범위 내로 진입하면 노변 기지국(220)에서 송신하는 데이터를 수신하며 상기 ETC 단말기(210)는 상기 노변 기지국(120)에서 결정하는 채널로 고유 번호(ID) 및 차종 정보를 포함하는 데이터를 송신하게 된다.When the vehicle equipped with the ETC terminal 210 enters the ETC communication range, the vehicle receives the data transmitted from the roadside base station 220 and the ETC terminal 210 is a channel determined by the roadside base station 120. ) And vehicle model information.

이때, 노변 기지국(220)은 ETC 단말기(210)로부터 수신한 고유 번호(ID) 및 차종 정보를 정산 센터 서버(230)로 전송한다.At this time, the roadside base station 220 transmits the unique number (ID) and the model information received from the ETC terminal 210 to the settlement center server 230.

따라서, 정산 센터 서버(230)는 통신부(230)가 노변 기지국(220)에서의 고유 번호 및 차종 정보를 수신하면 고유번호 판독부(233)가 고유번호를 디코딩하고 차종 판별부(234)가 차종을 판별하며 요금 산출부(235)가 상기 차종 판별부(234)에서 판별된 차종에 따른 요금을 산출하게 된다.Therefore, when the communication unit 230 receives the unique number and the vehicle model information from the roadside base station 220, the settlement center server 230 decodes the unique number and the vehicle model determination unit 234 the vehicle model. The fee calculation unit 235 calculates a fee according to the vehicle type determined by the vehicle type determination unit 234.

이 후, 제어부(231)는 고유 번호, 차종, 요금을 포함하는 과금 데이터를 메모리(236)에 저장하게 된다.Thereafter, the controller 231 stores the charging data including the unique number, the vehicle type, and the charge in the memory 236.

즉, 본 발명은 차량의 고유번호를 인식한 후 차종 정보를 판독하여 차종(대,중,소형)을 판별하고 그 판별된 차종에 따른 요금을 산출하게 된다.That is, in the present invention, after recognizing the unique number of the vehicle, the vehicle model information is read to determine the vehicle type (large, medium, small), and the fee according to the determined vehicle type is calculated.

상기에서 상세히 설명한 바와 같이 본 발명은 차량에 ETC 단말기 장착시 차종 정보를 기록함으로써 차종 판별을 위한 별도의 센서 또는 카메라가 필요없어 운용 비용을 절감할 수 있고 또한, 차종 판별을 위한 별도의 보조 장치와의 연동 동작을 제거함으로써 과금 처리를 신속히 수행할 수 있어 시스템 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 효과가 있다.As described in detail above, the present invention can reduce operating costs by recording vehicle model information when the ETC terminal is mounted in the vehicle, and thus does not require a separate sensor or camera for vehicle type determination, and additional auxiliary device for vehicle type determination. By eliminating the interlocking operation, the billing process can be performed quickly, thereby improving the system performance.
