Description

Toll collection system, vehicle loading and toll collection method {TOLL COLLECTION SYSTEM, ONBOARD UNITS AND TOLL COLLECTION METHOD}

The present invention relates to a toll collection system for performing a charge transfer with a vehicle executed at a toll highway of a toll highway by wireless communication, and a vehicle mounting and toll collection method for the toll collection system.

The ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) is a system executed by exchanging fee information by wireless communication between an antenna installed in a toll station and a vehicle mounted vehicle mounted on the vehicle. This ETC system allows a vehicle (an ETC car equipped with a vehicle loading machine) to pass through the toll booth non-stop, thereby eliminating and alleviating congestion at the toll booth.

In mixed lanes of ETC cars and non-ETC cars, notification to the collection point of whether or not the entered vehicle is an ETC car is performed by vehicle type indications such as chimes and ramps when the vehicle reaches a specific point of the toll booth. It is becoming. In addition, the driver of the vehicle is notified whether or not the vehicle is an ETC car at the same timing through a roadside indicator installed on the island. On the other hand, even when a vehicle is mounted on an ETC car, the driver is notified of the effect by voice or screen display when the toll collection is completed normally.

Toll collectors working in toll lanes with mixed lanes need to pass through the toll station as they enter the ETC car, and collect cash by non-ETC cars or abnormal ETC cars. On the other hand, if the driver is notified of the completion of ETC collection from the roadside indicator or vehicle loading vehicle, the driver passes through the toll stop non-stop. Otherwise, the driver determines that the ETC collection has not been completed normally due to non-ETC or any abnormality. It is necessary to stop once and pay the fee by means other than ETC.

However, in the tolls with such mixed lanes, the type notification of the entry vehicle is executed for the collection source, but when the vehicle enters continuously, the result of the determination of the subsequent vehicle before the collection source recognizes whether the preceding vehicle is an ETC car or not. May be notified.

If the driver can recognize "ETC collection completed" by the on-board indication or sound, but the recognition by this driver is earlier than the timing at which the collector can know the ETC completion notification, If the next vehicle is an ETC car, such as when the ETC car is concerned about the processing of the ETC car, and the next judgment is delayed, the collector may pass before the eyes.

In any case, there are cases where ETC cars that do not stop at the booths are mistaken for stopping as a breakthrough, or on the contrary, mistake the breakthrough as an ETC.

In addition, it is difficult to identify the chime tone when the vehicle passes at high speed as to the method of identifying the ETC car, the non-ETC car, and the abnormal ETC car by changing the tone of the chime ringing during the passage of the vehicle. Although a short ringing time has been devised to shorten the period of the chime sound so that it is easy to distinguish the tone, in this case there is a problem that the long time chime continues to ring with a tone that is not in a hurry at the time of congestion to stress the collector.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and in a situation where a toll-free ETC car and a non-ETC car that precedes the ETC car are mixed together in the lane of the toll booth, the confusion of the work by the collector is prevented. The aim is to provide a toll collection system, vehicle loading and toll collection methods that enable more accurate ETC collection.

In addition, the present invention makes it easy to identify the tone even in a high-speed passing vehicle in terms of the identification of the tone of the ETC car or the non-ETC car by the collector, and can greatly reduce the stress of the collector by the sound. It is to provide a collection system and toll collection method.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a system for performing toll collection through wireless communication with a vehicle mounted on the vehicle, the road side indicator for notifying the completion of toll collection for the ETC car on the mixed lane, A booth indicator for notifying the collection officer whether the vehicle on the mixed lane is an ETC vehicle, a collector for performing a toll collection on a vehicle other than the ETC vehicle, an ETC vehicle that has not completed toll collection in the mixed lane, and If the preceding non-ETC vehicle is mixed with the ETC vehicle, the contents of each notification of the roadside indicator and the display in the booth are waited for the completion of toll collection of the non-ETC vehicle by the collector. The present invention relates to a toll collection system having a lane control device having a function of controlling to switch to a vehicle related content.

According to the present invention, when a non-ETC vehicle having a toll collection and a non-ETC vehicle preceding the ETC vehicle are mixed together on a mixed lane, the contents of each notification of the roadside indicator and the indicator in the booth are set by the collector. Waiting for the completion of the toll collection and switching together to prevent the confusion that the judgment result of the subsequent entry vehicle is notified before the collector recognizes whether the preceding vehicle is the ETC car, and the driver of the ETC car recognizes the completion of the toll collection Since the timing which can be made and the timing which can recognize that the vehicle which the collector passes next are ETC cars match, there is no recognition shift of both.

In addition, the present invention transmits a charge completion notice to the vehicle onboard of the ETC car when the lane control device completes the charge collection by radio with the ETC car and at the same time precedes the completion of the fee collection at the toll collector. The present invention relates to a toll collection system that also has a function of requesting to delay the timing of informing the driver of the charge completion completion notification to the on-vehicle vehicle if the non-ETC vehicle exists by examining the presence or absence of the non-ETC vehicle.

In addition, the present invention provides a notification means for notifying the driver of the completion of the charge collection notification from the charge collection system, and means for delaying the notification timing of the notification collection completion notification to the driver by the notification means based on the delay request It relates to a vehicle mounting device having a.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the driver must inevitably decelerate the vehicle by slowing down the timing of informing the driver of the ETC car to complete the toll collection, and before the collector recognizes that the ETC car is the ETC car through the indicator in the booth, The passage through the booth can be prevented.

In addition, the present invention relates to a system for performing charge collection through wireless communication with a vehicle-mounted vehicle mounted on a vehicle, wherein at least one of an ETC car and a non-ETC car that enters the mixed lane is intermittent. An intermittent output from the sound output device on the basis of the sound output device which can be distinguished by the difference of the tones, the speed measuring means for measuring the passing speed of the vehicle, and the vehicle passing speed measured by the speed measuring means. A toll collection system having means for varying the period of sound.

According to the present invention, when the entry speed of the vehicle is fast, the period of the sound is shortened, so that the chime tone can be easily identified when the vehicle passes at a high speed, and the period of the chime sound becomes long when the vehicle is stopped to stress the collector. Do not give.

The vehicle passes in the order of the vehicle detector 13 (hereinafter referred to as S1), the vehicle detector 14 (hereinafter referred to as S2), and the vehicle detector 18 (hereinafter referred to as S4).

Fig. 5 is a timing when the vehicle runs alone in the lane of the toll booth, and the operation in this case is as follows.

If the vehicle is a normal ETC car, the toll collection by the ETC is completed between S1 and S2, and the on-vehicle device 40 executes a notification by display or voice of completion of processing. When the vehicle reaches S2, the roadside indicator 15 displays "ETC", and the booth indicator 19 also lights up the "ETC" lamp, and also for ventilation of the collection source. Notification by chime is executed.

The driver recognizes the "ETC process normal completion" by the display of the roadside indicator 15, and can pass through the toll station non-stop, and the toll collector is able to pass the vehicle by the display and sound of the indicator 19 in the booth. We can recognize that it is ETC car.

If the vehicle is a non-ETC vehicle, when the vehicle reaches S2, a message indicating the "one-stop" is displayed on the roadside indicator 15, and a "non-ETC" lamp is also displayed on the indicator 19 in the booth. At the same time, the notification by the chime for ventilation to the collector is executed. The non-ETC vehicle stops at the booth 16 once and pays a toll fee in cash or the like under the operation of the collector 27 by the collector.

In addition, when the ETC vehicle is not normally completed due to any obstacle, the onboard vehicle 40 executes a notification by an unprocessed display or voice. In addition, when the vehicle enters S2, the content prompting the user to "stop once" is displayed on the roadside indicator 15. In addition, the lamp "abnormal ETC" lights up on the indicator 19 in the booth, A notification by chime is executed to ventilate.

The driver recognizes the "end of ETC process abnormality" by the indication of the road side indicator 15, and can stop at the toll booth once. ETC car ".

On the other hand, when an ETC car enters continuously after a non-ETC car, that is, when a non-toll-free ETC car and a preceding non-ETC car are mixed in the lane of the toll booth, the display timing is as follows. .

The display timing of the display 19 and the road side indicator 15 in the booth when the non-ETC car, which is the front car, reaches S2, is the same as that of the single vehicle.

When a subsequent ETC car is completed by the ETC when the collection by the collector of the non-ETC car, which is the previous vehicle, is the same as when entering alone.

As shown in Fig. 6, when the toll collection by the ETC of the subsequent ETC car is completed (when communication is completed), if the collection by the collector of the non-ETC car of the preceding car is incomplete, Notification of completion of ETC collection shall be after a certain time (for example, after 1 second).

If the toll collection by the front car (non-ETC car) is completed when the next ETC car reaches S2, the road side indicator 15 and the in- booth indicator 19 indicate that the "ETC car" is shown. As shown in FIG. 6, when the toll collection of the preceding vehicle is incomplete, a display such as "stop once" or "deceleration" is made on the roadside indicator 15, and the display of the in- booth indicator 19 remains the content of the preceding vehicle.

"ETC car" is displayed on the display 19 in the booth when the toll of the preceding vehicle is completed, and if there is no entry of a new vehicle behind the ETC car at that time, the road side indicator 15 displays "ETC" for the second vehicle. Car ", and if there is an entry of a new vehicle, the display of the road side indicator 15 is not changed, and the display is made based on the conditions of the following car.

FIG. 7 is a process flowchart of a lane control apparatus for realizing the operation timing of each device shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.

The lane control apparatus waits for vehicle entry at step S1 (step 701). If the vehicle detection notification has been received at S1, wireless communication with the on-board vehicle 40 is started (step 702).

If the wireless communication between the lane control device and the on-vehicle 40 is established through the antenna 26 before the vehicle reaches S2 (step 703), the vehicle is treated as an ETC car and the on-vehicle 40 Is notified via the antenna 26 (step 704). At this time, if there is a non-ETC difference incompletely collected in the preceding vehicle (step 705), it executes in accordance with the "notification of notification request" (step 706), and waits for the vehicle to reach S2 ( Step 707).

When the ETC car reaches S2, when there is no non-ETC car that has not been collected in the previous vehicle (step 708), "ETC" is displayed on the road side indicator 15 (step 709). The " ETC " lamp of the display 19 in the booth is turned on (step 710). In addition, the completion of charge collection by the collector for the non-ETC vehicle is notified in full text from the collector 27.

If there is a non-ETC vehicle that has not been collected in the previous vehicle at step 708, the collection completion of the non-ETC vehicle which is the preceding vehicle is awaited (step 711), and the "ETC" of the indicator 19 in the booth is completed with collection. The lamp is turned on (step 712). At this time, if the subsequent vehicle does not reach S2 (step 713), "ETC" is displayed on the roadside indicator 15 (step 714), and if the subsequent vehicle has already reached S2, the roadside indicator ( The display of 15) does not change.

If the wireless communication cannot be established until the vehicle reaches S2 in step 703 (step 715), the vehicle is treated as a non-ETC vehicle and the display indicating "one stop" on the roadside indicator 15 is shown. (Step 716), the "non-ETC" lamp of the in-boot display 19 is turned on (step 717).

After step 710, step 713, step 714, and step 717 wait for the vehicle to pass through S4 (step 718), if the next car does not come (step 719), the indicator in the booth The display of the 19 and the road side indicator 15 is erased (steps 720 and 721).

FIG. 8 is a process flowchart of the on-vehicle device 40 for realizing the operation timing of each device shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.

The onboard 40 reads IC card data (step 801). After that, the onboard device 40 starts communication with the antenna 26 (step 802), and transmits the onboard device and IC card information to the antenna 26 (step 803).

Processed data is received from the antenna 26 (step 804), and data is input to the IC card (step 805). When the "notice of delay" is received from the antenna 26 (step 806), after waiting for a predetermined time (step 807), a display, a buzzer, etc. to notify the driver of the completion of the process are executed (step 806). (808)).

In addition, when the notification of the "ETC collection completion" in the onboard vehicle 40 is delayed, it is also possible to prompt the driver by displaying a display such as "deceleration" or "waiting for the front vehicle" on the display unit.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, if the toll collection by the front car (non-ETC car) is not completed when the subsequent ETC car reaches S2, the road side indicator 15 indicates "stop once" or "deceleration". The display of the display 19 in the booth indicates the contents of the front car (non-ETC car) and the display indicates the "ETC car" on the display 19 in the booth when the toll collection of the front car (non-ETC car) is completed. If there is no entry of a new vehicle behind the ETC vehicle at that time, the determination of the next entry vehicle is made before the collection agent recognizes whether or not the preceding vehicle is an ETC vehicle by displaying "ETC vehicle" on the roadside indicator 15. The confusion of notifying the result can be prevented, and the timing at which the driver of the ETC car recognizes the completion of the toll collection and the timing at which the collection source recognizes the next vehicle being passed are the ETC car. Because of quantum perception Others draw does not occur.

For this reason, the collection agent misrecognizes and stops the ETC car which did not stop in booth 16 as a forced breakthrough, or conversely misses the missed breakthrough as ETC car.

In addition, when the collection by the ETC of the subsequent ETC car is completed, when the collection by the collection agent of the non-ETC car which is the previous car is incomplete, the notification of "the completion of ETC collection" to the driver by the vehicle loading machine 40 is fixed. By delaying the time, the driver inevitably decelerates the vehicle, thereby preventing the ETC car from passing through the booth 16 before the collector recognizes the ETC car through the in- booth indicator 19.

Next, another embodiment which concerns on this invention is described using FIG.

In the present embodiment, the lane control apparatus has a period of intermittent sound emitted from a tone tone corresponding to the vehicle type (ETC car, non-ETC car, abnormal ETC car) in the speaker 35 of the display 19 in the booth. Controlled by

9 shows a processing flow of the lane control apparatus. When the vehicle enters S1 (step 901), the lane control apparatus stores the passing time of the vehicle S1 (step 902), and when the vehicle reaches S2 (step 903), the vehicle S2 The passing time of is recorded (step 904).

Subsequently, the lane control apparatus obtains the difference between the passing time of S1 and the passing time of S2. If the difference is less than or equal to a predetermined time (step 905), the short-term chime sounds (step 906). A long cycle chime is sounded (step 907). When the vehicle passes S4 (step 908), the chime stops (step 909).

This facilitates the identification of the chime tone when the vehicle passes at high speed, and also prolongs the cycle of the chime sound at the time of congestion, thereby avoiding stress on the collector.

In this example, the two cycles are switched, but it is of course possible to switch the cycles more precisely based on the difference between the S1 passing time and the S2 passing time of the vehicle.

In addition, the toll collection system of this invention is not limited only to the above-mentioned embodiment, Of course, a various change can be added in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention.

As described above, according to the present invention, when there is a mixture of non-tolled ETC cars and non-ETC cars preceding the ETC cars on the mixed lane, the notices of the road side indicators and the in-boot indicators are collected in the collector. By waiting for the completion of the non-ETC vehicle toll collection and converting together, it is possible to prevent the confusion that the determination result of the subsequent entry vehicle is notified before the collector recognizes whether or not the preceding vehicle is an ETC vehicle. The timing at which the driver can recognize the completion of the toll collection and the timing at which the driver can recognize that the vehicle to be passed next is an ETC car can be obtained, so that the recognition misalignment can be obtained.

In addition, according to the present invention, the driver inevitably decelerates the vehicle by delaying the timing of informing the driver of the ETC car to complete the toll collection, and before the collector recognizes that the ETC car is the ETC car through the indicator in the booth, The effect that can prevent passing through can be obtained.

Further, according to the present invention, when the vehicle's entry speed is high, the period of the sound is shortened, so that the chime tone can be easily identified when the vehicle passes at high speed, and the period of the chime sound becomes longer when the vehicle is stopped. There is no stress on me.
