Description

[0001] SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PASSAGE PAYMENT [0002]

The present invention relates to a toll settlement system and a method for soliciting a toll payment for a licensee of a vehicle that travels on toll roads and performing a payment approval.

Generally, the fare collection method for a vehicle passing through a toll road is manually performed through a gate installed in each toll gate, or a high pass fare collection technique is applied.

However, the method of paying by hand between the toll gate staff and the driver causes the congestion before and after the toll booth, and the human consumption is consumed, and the high pass fare collection technique proposed for solving this problem requires the driver to purchase a separate terminal There is a problem of occurrence.

In addition, when the high-pass terminal is used, if there is a battery shortage, a communication failure, or a shortage in the case of a prepaid card, an unpaid fee is generated, and the driver inquires and pays the unpaid fee through a separate terminal installed at the highway rest area , It is inconvenient to receive a bill printed on paper and send it to a bank account to pay the bill.

In addition, in the case of forgetting to pay for an unpaid fee, the driver must pay up to the additional toll due to the minor carelessness of the driver as specified in the ordinance so that an additional toll corresponding to ten times the toll is imposed, resulting in dissatisfaction of the driver .

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been proposed in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for notifying a user of a toll- The present invention provides a toll payment system and a method thereof which can be conveniently applied to a smart tolling system in which a non-vehicle can maintain the speed on the road and pay a fee without delay or congestion, There is a purpose.

A toll payment system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a vehicle recognition unit for sensing an incoming vehicle in a preset area, a server for transmitting a toll payment request signal including at least one of an unpaid fee and a current toll information to the entry vehicle, And a user terminal requesting payment approval according to the toll payment request signal.

According to the toll payment system and method of the present invention, when an unpaid toll occurs on a toll road such as a highway, it is possible to receive a notice and a settlement request through the portable terminal, It is possible to prevent the occurrence of a cost incurred by the fare notice and the damage of the driver who forgets to pay the unpaid fee and pays the additional toll.

According to the present invention, the smart tolling system recognizes the vehicle and requests the user portable terminal to pay the toll to the user, so that it is possible to perform the toll payment without installing a separate high-pass terminal or the like in the vehicle .
