- FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a hardware configuration of the billing communication processing apparatus 50.
- the billing communication processing device 50 includes a memory 52, a storage / reproduction device 53, an IO I / F (Input Output Interface) 54, and a communication I / F (Interface) 55. are further provided.
- the memory 52 is a medium such as a RAM (Random Access Memory) that temporarily stores data used in the program of the billing communication processing device 50.
- the storage / reproduction device 53 is a device for storing data in an external medium such as a CD-ROM, DVD, flash memory, etc., and reproducing data in the external medium.
- the IO I / F 54 is an interface for inputting and outputting information and the like between the billing communication processing device 50 and each device of the fee collection facility 1.
- the communication I / F 55 is an interface that performs communication between the billing communication processing device 50 and the central settlement processing device 70 via a communication line such as the Internet or a dedicated communication line.
- the installer installs the first RFID tag 41A at a position where it can communicate with the RFID reader 40 in both the state where the towed vehicle 20B is attached to the attachment portion 20C and the state where it is not attached (ST11: first onboard device). Installation step).
- the installer attaches the first RFID tag 41A to the inner surface 20S of the windshield 20E of the vehicle main body 20A.
- the installer is in a position where the second RFID tag 41B can communicate with the RFID reader 40 in a state where the towed vehicle 20B is not attached to the attachment portion 20C, and the towed vehicle 20B is attached to the attachment portion 20C. In a state, it is installed at a position where it cannot communicate with the RFID reader 40 (ST12: second vehicle-mounted device installation step).
- the installer attaches the second RFID tag 41B to the attachment portion 20C.
- the second OBE installation step ST12 is performed after the first OBE installation step ST11.
- the first OBE installation step ST11 may be performed after the second OBE installation step ST12. .
- the installer may install the third RFID tag 41C on the towed vehicle 20B (ST13: third onboard equipment installation step).
- the third RFID tag 41C is installed at a position where the towed vehicle 20B can communicate with the RFID reader 40 regardless of whether the towed vehicle 20B is attached to the vehicle main body 20A or not.
- the installer attaches the third RFID tag 41C to the upper surface of the rear end of the towed vehicle 20B.
- ST11 to ST13 may be performed in any order.
- the communication state between the second RFID tag 41B of the vehicle main body 20A and the RFID reader 40 is switched depending on the presence or absence of the towed vehicle 20B. That is, the second RFID tag 41B of the vehicle main body 20A cannot communicate with the RFID reader 40 with the towed vehicle 20B attached, and can communicate with the RFID reader 40 without the towed vehicle attached. Therefore, the vehicle 20 can determine the presence or absence of the towed vehicle 20B with a small-scale facility. Further, the vehicle determination system 10 can determine the presence or absence of the towed vehicle 20B of the vehicle 20 with a small-scale facility.
- the vehicle body 20A determines that the towed vehicle 20B is not towed, and the fee discounted from the regular toll is calculated. The amount is charged.
- the above-described third RFID tag 41C is used as an RFID tag for determining the presence / absence of the towed vehicle 20B, and the toll is discounted when communication with the third RFID tag 41C is impossible. In that case, for example, by destroying or concealing the third RFID tag 41C, the third RFID tag 41C is illegally disabled for communication, so that it is possible to pass with a low charge amount.
- the charge amount is low, so even if the second RFID tag 41B is destroyed or hidden, the charge amount is not low.
- the vehicle discrimination system 10 can prevent fraud.
- the vehicle determination system 10 of the present embodiment can determine the presence or absence of the towed vehicle 20B without detecting the number of axes of the vehicle 20 or measuring the vehicle length. Therefore, the presence / absence of the towed vehicle 20B can be determined without a large-scale device such as an axis number detection device or a vehicle length measurement device of the vehicle 20.
- the vehicle-mounted device itself and the roadside device can be configured at a low price.
- the second RFID tag 41B of the vehicle body 20A uses electromagnetic shielding by the towed vehicle 20B for switching the communication state with the RFID reader 40. Since the towed vehicle 20B and its accessory parts usually need to be made of a robust material, it is made of, for example, a thick metal and has a structure that hardly transmits electromagnetic waves. For this reason, when the towed vehicle 20B is attached to the vehicle main body 20A, the second RFID tag 41B of the vehicle main body 20A is electromagnetically shielded by the towed vehicle 20B from the communication path with the RFID reader 40, and therefore communicates with the RFID reader 40. It becomes impossible. Therefore, the vehicle 20 can disable communication between the second RFID tag 41B and the RFID reader 40 in conjunction with the attachment of the towed vehicle 20B to the attachment portion 20C of the vehicle main body 20A.
- the vehicle discrimination system 10 reads the vehicle type information read by the RFID reader 40 and discriminates the type of each vehicle. However, as a modification, the vehicle discrimination system 10 merely discriminates the type having a traction structure such as a trailer. Good. For example, if only the presence / absence of a trailer towed vehicle is to be determined, the first RFID tag 41A may have only information indicating whether the vehicle is a trailer as vehicle type information. As a determination of the vehicle, it is only necessary to determine whether the vehicle body 20A is a trailer or the other.
- the vehicle discrimination system 10 of the present embodiment uses the possibility of communication with the second RFID tag 41B for the determination of the presence or absence of the towed vehicle, but as a modification, the configuration in which the third RFID tag 41C described above is provided.
- the availability of communication with the second RFID tag 41B may be used. In this case, for example, when communication with the second RFID tag 41B is possible and communication with the third RFID tag 41C is impossible, it is determined that the vehicle body 20A is not towing the towed vehicle 20B. As a result, the discount from the regular toll can be implemented only when the regular communication is performed.
- the billing system 100 ′ and the vehicle 20 ′ of this embodiment are basically the same as those of the first embodiment, but the ETC antenna 140 and the ETC on-board unit 141 using ETC (Electronic Toll Collection System (registered trademark)).

Description
そこで、本発明は、被牽引車の有無を小規模な設備で判定することができる車両、車両判別システム、車両判別方法、プログラム及び車載器の取付方法を提供することを目的とする。
したがって、車両は、車両本体の取付部への被牽引車の取り付けに連動して、第2車載器と路側装置と通信不能とすることができる。
したがって、通信の取得状態から被牽引車の有無を判定できるので、車両判別システムは、小規模な設備によって、被牽引車の有無を判定することができる。
したがって、通信の取得状態から被牽引車の有無を判定できるので、車両判別方法は、小規模な設備によって、被牽引車の有無を判定することができる。
したがって、プログラムは、車両判別システムのコンピュータを、通信の取得状態から被牽引車の有無を判定できるように機能させるので、小規模な設備によって、被牽引車の有無を判定させることができる。
したがって、取付方法は、被牽引車の有無を、小規模な設備で判定してもらえるように、車両を構成することができる。
本発明に係る課金システムの第1の実施形態について、図1~図8を参照して説明する。
課金システム100の全体構成について説明する。
課金システム100は、図1に示すように、料金収受設備1と、中央決済処理装置70と、を有している。
更に、車線LNの幅方向を車線幅方向(図1における±Y方向)と称し、車両20の車高方向を上下方向(図1における±Z方向)と称する。
料金収受設備1は、出口料金所を通過しようとする車両20との間で無線による通信処理(以下、単に「無線通信」と表記)を行い、車両20の種別に関連した課金処理を行う装置である。
進入側車両検知器91によって、車両20の進入が検知されると、RFIDリーダ40は、後述する第1RFIDタグ41Aとの間で無線通信を行い、後述する車両本体20Aの車両ID情報及び車種情報を含む第1情報DAを受信する。
さらに、RFIDリーダ40は、後述する第2RFIDタグ41Bとの間で無線通信を行い、後述する車両本体20Aの車両ID情報を含む第2情報DBを受信する。
RFIDリーダ40は、所定周波数帯(UHF帯、マイクロ波周波数帯等)の電磁波を送受可能に形成されており、当該電磁波を介することで到来した車両本体20Aに搭載される第1RFIDタグ41A及び第2RFIDタグ41Bとの無線通信を行う。
図1に示すように、課金通信処理装置50は、取得した情報や決定した課金額の情報等を、通信回線を介して遠隔地Jに設置された中央決済処理装置70(上位装置)に出力する。
本実施形態では、料金収受設備1は、発進制御機92を備えているが、車両20の退出制限を必要としない場合は、料金収受設備1は、発進制御機92を備えなくてもよい。
車両20は、車両本体20Aと、第1RFIDタグ41A(第1車載器)と、第2RFIDタグ41B(第2車載器)とを備える。
第1RFIDタグ41A及び第2RFIDタグ41Bは、車両本体20Aに取り付けられて、RFIDリーダ40と通信可能に設置される。
車両本体20Aは、被牽引車20Bを牽引する場合、取付部20Cに被牽引車20Bを取り付けた状態で走行する。また、車両本体20Aは、被牽引車20Bを牽引しない場合、取付部20Cに被牽引車20Bを付けていない状態で走行する。
第2RFIDタグ41Bは、被牽引車20Bの有無判定用RFIDタグである。第2RFIDタグ41Bには、設置される車両本体20Aの車両ID情報を含む第2情報DBが、RFIDリーダ40で読み出し可能に記録されている。
例えば、第1RFIDタグ41Aには、第2RFIDタグ41Bの個体情報が、RFIDリーダ40で読み出し可能に記録されている。また、第2RFIDタグ41Bには、第1RFIDタグ41Aの個体情報が、RFIDリーダ40で読み出し可能に記録されている。これにより、課金通信処理装置50は、第1RFIDタグ41Aから読み出した第1情報DAと第2RFIDタグ41Bから読み出した第2情報DBとをペアリングすることができる。
したがって、図2及び図3に示すように、第1RFIDタグ41Aは、車両本体20Aが被牽引車20Bを牽引している又は牽引していないにかかわらず、RFIDリーダ40と通信可能である。
第1RFIDタグ41Aの粘着面が、フロントガラス20Eに貼り付けられている。また、第2RFIDタグ41Bの粘着面が、取付部20Cに貼り付けられている。
さらに、第1RFIDタグ41A及び第2RFIDタグ41Bは、カード面全面にわたって複数の切り込みが入れられている。したがって、第1RFIDタグ41A及び第2RFIDタグ41Bは、一度貼り付けた後に強制的に剥がすと破損したり、内部配線間の抵抗値が上昇したりするように構成されている。
例えば、RFID情報を受信するときにおいて、第1RFIDタグ41A、第2RFIDタグ41Bから受信した電磁波の各RSSIが検波されれば、RFIDリーダ40は、第1RFIDタグ41Aと第2RFIDタグ41Bとの設置高さを比較することができる。
第2RFIDタグ41Bは、被牽引車20Bに遮蔽される位置として、相対的に低い位置に設置される。例えば、第1RFIDタグ41Aより高い位置にあることが検知された場合は、不正な位置に第2RFIDタグ41Bが設置されている可能性がある。
RSSIの検波によって、第2RFIDタグ41Bが不正な位置に設置されていることが検知されれば、RFIDリーダ40は、タンパーアラームを発生し、課金通信処理装置50や中央決済処理装置70に通報する。
課金通信処理装置50は、CPU(Central Processing Unit)51を備える。CPU51は、図5に示すように、第1情報処理部51A、第2情報処理部51B、牽引判定部51C及び料金決定部51Dを機能的に備える。
具体的には、第1情報処理部51Aは、少なくともトレーラのような牽引構造を有する種別を、第1情報DAから判別できるように構成されている。また、車両20がトレーラのような牽引構造を有する種別である場合、第1情報処理部51Aは、被牽引車20Bの有無にかかわらず、車両本体20Aがトレーラのような牽引構造を有する種別であると判別する。
具体的には、第1情報処理部51Aが、通過した車両本体20Aがトレーラのような牽引構造を有する車両であると判別した場合、第2情報処理部51Bは、RFIDリーダ40からの第2情報DBの待ち受けを開始するように構成されている。
したがって、第2情報処理部51Bは、通過した車両本体20Aがトレーラのような牽引構造を有する車両である場合に、第2情報DBを取得することができる。
具体的には、牽引判定部51Cは、第2情報DBの待ち受けを開始後、第2情報処理部51Bが第2情報DBを取得したら、車両本体20Aは被牽引車20Bを牽引していないと判定する。
牽引判定部51Cは、第2情報DBの待ち受けを開始後、第2情報処理部51Bが第2情報DBを取得しなかったら、車両本体20Aは被牽引車20Bを牽引していると判定する。
本実施形態では、判定開始のタイミングから判定終了のタイミングの間に、第2情報処理部51Bが第2情報DBを取得できなかった場合、牽引判定部51Cは、車両本体20Aは被牽引車を牽引していると判定する。
また、判定開始のタイミングから判定終了のタイミングの間に、第2情報処理部51Bが第2情報DBを取得できた場合、牽引判定部51Cは、車両本体20Aは被牽引車20Bを牽引していないと判定する。
本発明に係る車両判別方法の一実施形態について、車両判別システム10を用いて説明する。以下、車両本体20Aが被牽引車20Bを牽引しないトレーラである場合に、トレーラの正規の通行料金から、被牽引車20Bを牽引していない分の料金を割り引く場合を例として説明する。
第1情報処理ステップST1で、第1情報処理部51Aが、車両本体20Aの種別を「トレーラ」以外の種別と判別したら(ST1:NO)、料金決定部51Dは、判別した種別に関連する通行料金を課金額として決定する(ST2:第2料金決定ステップ)。
また、上述の実施形態における課金通信処理装置50のハードウェア構成の例について説明する。
図7は課金通信処理装置50のハードウェア構成の一例を示す図である。
図7に示すように、課金通信処理装置50は、CPU51に加え、メモリ52と、記憶/再生装置53と、IO I/F(Input Output Interface)54と、通信I/F(Interface)55と、をさらに備える。
記憶/再生装置53は、CD-ROM、DVD、フラッシュメモリ等の外部メディアへデータ等を記憶したり、外部メディアのデータ等を再生したりするための装置である。
IO I/F54は、課金通信処理装置50と、料金収受設備1の各装置との間で情報等の入出力を行うためのインターフェースである。
通信I/F55は、インターネット、専用通信回線等の通信回線を介して、課金通信処理装置50と、中央決済処理装置70との間で通信を行うインターフェースである。
本発明に係る車載器の取付方法の一実施形態として、車両20への各RFIDタグの取付方法を図8に沿って説明する。
この場合、第3RFIDタグ41Cは、被牽引車20Bを車両本体20Aに取り付けた状態、及び取り付けていない状態いずれにおいても、RFIDリーダ40と通信可能な位置に設置する。例えば、設置者は、第3RFIDタグ41Cを被牽引車20Bの後端上面に貼り付ける。
第3車載器設置ステップST13を設ける場合も、ST11~ST13はどのような順序で実施されてもよい。
本実施形態の作用及び効果について説明する。
本実施形態では、被牽引車20Bの有無によって、車両本体20Aの第2RFIDタグ41Bと、RFIDリーダ40との通信状態が切り替わる。すなわち、車両本体20Aの第2RFIDタグ41Bは、被牽引車20Bを取り付けた状態でRFIDリーダ40と通信不能となり、被牽引車を取り付けていない状態でRFIDリーダ40と通信可能となる。
したがって、車両20は、小規模な設備で被牽引車20Bの有無を判定してもらうことができる。また、車両判別システム10は、小規模な設備によって、車両20の被牽引車20Bの有無を判定することができる。
もし、被牽引車20Bの有無判定用RFIDタグとして、前述した第3RFIDタグ41Cを利用し、第3RFIDタグ41Cと通信不能な場合に通行料金を割り引く構成としたとする。その場合、例えば、第3RFIDタグ41Cを破壊したり隠したりすることによって、第3RFIDタグ41Cを不正に通信不能とすることで、安い課金額で通行できてしまう。
これに対し、本実施形態のように、第2RFIDタグ41Bと通信可能な場合に安い課金額とすることで、第2RFIDタグ41Bを破壊したり隠したりしても安い課金額とはならないので、車両判別システム10は、不正を防ぐことができる。
したがって、車両20の軸数検知装置や車長測定装置といった大がかりな機器がなくても、被牽引車20Bの有無を判定することができる。
したがって、車両20は、車両本体20Aの取付部20Cへの被牽引車20Bの取り付けに連動して、第2RFIDタグ41BとRFIDリーダ40との間で通信不能とすることができる。
本実施形態の車両判別システム10は、RFIDリーダ40によって読み出した車種情報を読み出して各車両の種別を判別しているが、変形例として単にトレーラのような牽引構造を有する種別を判別するものでもよい。
例えば、トレーラの被牽引車の有無を判定するだけであれば、第1RFIDタグ41Aには、車種情報としてトレーラであるか否かの情報だけが記録されているものでよく、車両判別システム10は、車両の判別として車両本体20Aがトレーラであるか、それ以外かを判別するだけでよい。
本発明に係る課金システムの第2の実施形態について、図9を参照して説明する。
ETC車載器141は、車両本体20Aに取り付けられて、ETCアンテナ140と通信可能に設置される。
また、ETCアンテナ140は、通過する車両20’のETC車載器141に、課金処理の結果を含む課金データを送信する。
また、課金通信処理装置の各種機能が、ネットワークで接続される複数の装置に渡って具備される態様であってもよい。
