Description

A high-pass terminal using a smart terminal {Hi-pass terminal}

The present invention relates to a high-pass terminal using a smart terminal, and more particularly, to a high-pass terminal capable of paying a toll fee by a payment means of a smart terminal interfacing with a high-pass terminal when a vehicle passes through a toll gate .

Generally, the toll collection method of the Euroway road such as the expressway, etc., is issued a prepaid card or a right of passage from the road entrance toll gate, and the toll charge is manually paid by the tollgate by the tollgate.

However, when issuing such a right of way or paying tolls, many vehicles were waiting around the toll gate, causing a problem of stagnation,

For the purpose of computerizing such problems and the toll, an Electronic Toll Collection System (ETCS) called High Pass has emerged.

For reference, in a Hi Pass system, a gantry is installed on a toll gate of a highway, and a high pass terminal (OBU: On Board Unit) is installed on a corresponding moving vehicle,

When the moving vehicle passes the toll gate of the highway, the gantry collects the billing information transmitted by the high pass terminal of the vehicle, and when the electronic bill collection system completes the settlement based on the collected billing information, By transferring the facts, you will complete the collection through.

However, such a high-pass system has a disadvantage that the electronic card installed in each high-pass terminal must be charged with a certain amount of money, or it must be installed in the high-pass terminal socket after issuing an electronic card for postpaid high-pass .

In order to solve the inconvenience described above, a method of paying a toll according to the NFC method using a smart phone possessed by each driver has appeared (Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2014-0102523).

However, this method can pay the toll conveniently, but since the smartphone must be touched to the NFC terminal of the toll gate, it should be stopped once around the toll gate,

In particular, since the communication methods and specifications of the smartphone and the high-pass terminal are not compatible with each other, there is a problem that the high-pass dedicated road can not be used.
