Description

  Embodiments of the present invention relate to a toll collection system and a toll collection method that automatically perform toll collection processing on a vehicle using a toll road on a toll road such as an expressway, for example.

  The toll collection system on the toll road is an antenna installed on the toll collection lane between the roadside device installed at the toll gate and the vehicle-mounted device with the toll collection IC card installed on the vehicle side. By performing wireless communication through the device, the toll collection process is automatically performed on the vehicle in a non-stop manner.

  The toll collection system includes a distance-based system (a distance-toll system) that charges according to the distance the vehicle travels on the toll road, and a flat-rate system that collects a fixed amount of toll when using the toll road. System (flat rate system). The flat fee system is a system with a fixed toll when using a toll road, and the road can be used by paying a fixed fee at either the entrance toll gate or the exit toll gate.

  By the way, in the use of toll roads, after flowing out of the toll road once, it may flow into the toll road (same toll road or different toll road). In such a case, if it is a specific route, the transfer fee at the time of re-inflow is charged by applying a predetermined transfer discount fee (a certain amount of discount or free of charge) System is implemented.

  Conventionally, when such a system is realized by a toll collection system, a roadside device for transmitting and receiving information to and from passing vehicles has been installed at the exit toll booth that allows transfer, and the entrance toll gate that has flowed in again has been installed. The installed roadside device determines whether the vehicle is a vehicle that has flowed out of the exit toll gate to be transited, and depending on the operation system, considers the elapsed time from the exit toll gate, etc. Whether or not the billing process is performed.

  The above toll collection system is not a problem when the system is operating normally.For example, when a failure occurs in a roadside device installed at the exit toll gate to be connected or when a communication error occurs. Cannot correctly obtain information that the vehicle has flowed out of the exit toll gate to be connected, and therefore it is not handled as a transfer at the roadside device of the re-entered toll gate, and the normal toll (initial Boarding fee) is charged, and there is a risk of overcharging for the driver of the vehicle.

  In particular, if the roadside device installed at the exit toll booth to be connected in this case is a free flow type (a roadside device without a start control device for stopping the vehicle), a communication error or the like has occurred. However, the vehicle cannot be stopped and processed correctly again, resulting in serious damage.

  Therefore, the embodiment provides a toll collection system and a toll collection method that can prevent damage due to excessive charging for transit while being a simple process even when the process cannot be correctly performed at the exit toll gate to be transited. The purpose is to provide.

  The toll collection system according to the embodiment performs toll collection processing for a toll for the vehicle by acquiring the tollgate information used last time from the onboard device when the vehicle equipped with the onboard device passes the toll gate on the toll road. In the toll collection system to perform, at the entrance toll gate to be transited on the toll road, information acquisition means for acquiring toll gate information used last time from the vehicle-mounted device flowing into the entrance toll gate, and this information acquisition means A first determination means for determining whether or not the previous passage history is an exit toll gate to be transited based on the previous toll gate information acquired by the If it is determined that the previous passage history is not an exit toll gate subject to transfer, the toll gate information of the previous use acquired by the information acquisition means 2nd determination which acquires the information of the entrance toll gate which flowed first in the last traffic route from this, and determines whether the said vehicle is a transit vehicle based on this acquired information of the entrance flow gate which flowed first And the first determination means determine that the previous passage history is an exit toll gate to be transited, or the vehicle is a transit vehicle by the second determination means. If it is determined that the vehicle is a transit vehicle, the predetermined transit discount fee is applied in advance and billing processing is performed, and the previous determination history can be transited by the first determination means. Or if it is determined that the vehicle is not a transit vehicle by the second determination means, The vehicle is regarded as not a transit vehicle, and a charging processing means for performing accounting processing in the normal charge is not applied to transit discounts.

Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings.
First, the first embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 1 schematically shows the configuration of a toll collection system according to the first embodiment. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a toll road with a flat fee system, for example, and it is assumed that a vehicle 3 equipped with an in-vehicle device 2 travels in the direction of the arrow shown in the figure. A plurality of entrance toll gates 4 and 5 and a plurality of exit toll gates 6 and 7 are arranged on the toll road 1. The toll booths 4 to 7 are arranged in the order of the entrance toll booth 4, the exit toll booth 6, the entrance toll booth 5, and the exit toll booth 7 in the traveling direction of the vehicle 3, and the exit toll booth 7 is the exit to be transited. Suppose that it is a toll gate.

  8 is a general road as a transferable route, 9 is a toll road (toll road that is the same as or different from the toll road 1) that re-enters, and an entrance toll gate 10 is provided. In this example, it is assumed that the vehicle 3 that has flowed out from the exit toll gate 7 re-enters the toll road 9 from the entrance toll gate 10 via the road 8.

  Roadside devices 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 are installed at the entrance toll gates 4, 5, 10 and the exit toll gates 6, 7. In this example, it is assumed that a roadside device 16 for route determination is installed on the main line of the toll road 1 between the exit toll booth 6 and the entrance toll booth 5.

  The toll road 1 is assumed to have a charging form (flat fee system) in which a fixed amount of a flat fee is collected at one of the entrance toll gates 4 and 5 when the vehicle 3 uses the toll road 1. In this example, for example, a travel route indicated by a broken line in FIG. 1, that is, for example, flows from the entrance toll gate 4 and travels on the toll road 1, flows out from the exit toll gate 7 and passes through the road 8, When the vehicle 3 re-enters the toll road 9 from the entrance toll gate 10, the vehicle 3 is regarded as a transit vehicle and is charged by applying a predetermined transfer discount fee (a certain discount or free). Processing shall be performed.

  The in-vehicle device 2 is mounted with an IC card 17 (see FIG. 2) for toll collection so that it can be inserted and removed, and the in-vehicle device identification information (in-vehicle device as unique information for identifying (specifying) the in-vehicle device) is set in advance. ID) and vehicle-mounted device information such as vehicle type information for specifying the vehicle type of the mounted vehicle (not shown), and is read in advance from the IC card 17 when the vehicle passes through the toll gate on the toll road. Card information, vehicle-mounted device information, etc. are transmitted to the roadside device, and toll collection processing (billing processing) is performed.

  The IC card 17 includes, for example, a nonvolatile memory such as an EEPROM and a control unit (CPU or the like) that controls writing and reading of information with respect to the nonvolatile memory. Information on payment (payment) when a person uses a toll road, card ID (identification information) for identifying or identifying a card, card contract information, etc. are stored, and each time a toll road is used, the roadside The in-vehicle device 2 stores billing information, tollgate information, passage time (passage date / time), and the like transmitted from the device.

  The control unit of the IC card 17 uses the passage time (traffic date and time) when the vehicle passes the toll gate and the toll gate code (identification information) for identifying or identifying the toll gate as entrance toll gate information or exit toll gate information. Store in non-volatile memory.

  In addition, the control unit of the IC card 17 reads out card information including the entrance toll gate information or the exit toll gate information used last time by the vehicle from the nonvolatile memory and passes it to the vehicle-mounted device 2. The vehicle-mounted device 2 stores the card information received from the IC card 17 and transmits it to the roadside device when communication with the roadside device becomes possible. Furthermore, the control part of IC card 17 receives the information of the result processed by the roadside device via the vehicle-mounted device 2 and stores it in the nonvolatile memory.

The roadside devices 11, 12, and 13 of the entrance toll gates 4, 5, and 10, for example, include a sensor device 21, an antenna device 22, a start control device 23, and a lane control device 24 as shown in FIG. Yes.
The sensor device 21 is installed at the entrance, midway, and exit of each lane (lane) of the toll gate, and detects the inflow of the vehicle, the position in the lane, the start, and the like.

  The antenna device 22 obtains card information and vehicle-mounted device information from the IC card 17 via the vehicle-mounted device 2 by performing wireless communication with the vehicle-mounted device 2 detected by the sensor device 21, or to the IC card 17. Or writing information.

  The start control device 23 opens the lane exit for a vehicle that has entered the lane and is allowed to pass by the lane control device 24, while closing the lane exit for a vehicle having a problem in the toll collection process. For example, the start permission / non-permission permission (stop) of the vehicle from the lane is controlled.

  The lane control device 24 has an operation processing function, an IC card processing function, an online communication processing function, and the like, and comprehensive control of the sensor device 21, the antenna device 22, the start control device 23, etc., and a toll for the vehicle Is calculated and charged (charge collection process), and is connected via a communication line to a host device (host computer) 26 installed in a charge calculation office or the like.

  As the IC card processing function, for example, charge collection processing is performed based on a charge table such as card information acquired from the vehicle-mounted device 2 and vehicle-mounted device information, and the opening / closing control of the blocking rod of the start control device 23 is performed based on the processing result. It is a function to perform.

  The lane control device 24 includes a toll table 25. This toll table 25 includes, for example, a fixed toll for each vehicle type such as a normal car and a large car, and a relationship with another toll gate based on the toll gate (own toll gate) (the toll gate is discounted) Discounted charges are registered. When the toll gate where the lane control device 24 is installed is an entrance toll gate, information indicating whether the own toll gate is a normal entrance or a discount target entrance is registered in the toll table 25.

  The roadside devices 14 and 15 of the exit toll gates 6 and 7 and the roadside device 16 for route determination are basically the same as the configurations of the roadside devices 11, 12 and 13 of the entrance toll gates 4, 5 and 10. There is a difference in that the start control device 23 and the charge table 25 are omitted.

Next, the operation of the transit process on the toll road according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 3 in such a configuration.
In the following description, for example, a travel route indicated by a broken line in FIG. 1, that is, an inflow from the entrance toll gate 4, travels on the toll road 1, flows out from the exit toll gate 7, passes through the road 8, This is a transfer processing operation in the roadside device 13 (lane control device 24) installed in the entrance toll gate 10 when the vehicle 10 re-enters the toll road 9.

  When the vehicle 3 flows into the entrance toll gate 10 of the toll road 9, information (card information and in-vehicle device information including toll gate information used last time) is acquired from the on-vehicle device 2 mounted on the vehicle 3 (step S1). ).

  Next, based on the toll gate information used last time in the information acquired from the vehicle-mounted device 2, the exit toll gate to be transited based on the previous passage history, in this case the exit toll gate 7, and Then, it is determined whether or not the time when the exit toll gate 7 has flowed out is within a certain time (for example, 24 hours) from the current time (the time when it entered the entrance toll gate 10) (step S2).

  As a result of this determination, if the previous passage history is the exit toll gate 7 to be transited and is within a certain time from the current time, the vehicle 3 is regarded as a transit vehicle and is treated as transit (step S3). Then, the billing process is performed by applying a predetermined transfer discount fee (a certain amount of discount or free) (step S4).

  If the result of determination in step S2 is that the previous passage history is not the exit toll gate 7 to be transited, based on the toll gate information used last time acquired from the vehicle-mounted device 2, the entrance toll gate that flowed in the previous traffic route (hereinafter, In this example, referred to as the first entrance toll gate, it is determined whether or not the passage date and time at the entrance toll gate 4) is within a certain time (for example, 24 hours) from the passage date and time at the entrance toll gate 10 to be transited. (Step S5).

  If the result of this determination is that it is within a certain time, the first entrance toll gate (in this example, the entrance toll gate 4) on the previous route based on the previous toll gate information obtained from the vehicle-mounted device 2 will make the transit pass. It is determined whether or not the entrance toll gate can be permitted (for example, whether or not the entrance toll gate is the same as the road operator) (step S6).

  As a result of this determination, if the first entrance toll gate is an entrance toll gate that can permit transit, the first entrance toll gate on the previous route based on the previous toll gate information acquired from the vehicle-mounted device 2 ( In this example, passage information (for example, the roadside for route determination) that invalidates the connection in the time zone from the date and time of passage at the entrance toll gate 4) to the date and time of passage at the entrance toll gate 10 to be transited. There is no problem with the device 16, but when there is passing information of the exit toll gate 6 or the entrance toll gate 5, the transit is considered to be invalid because it travels outside the transferable route). Whether or not (step S7).

  As a result of the determination, if the passing information that invalidates the connection is not included, the vehicle 3 is regarded as a connection vehicle and is treated as a connection (step S3), and a predetermined predetermined connection discount fee is set. The billing process is performed by applying a certain amount of discount or free (step S4).

  If the result of determination in step S5 is not within a certain time, or if the result of determination in step S6 is that the first entrance toll gate is not an entrance toll gate that can permit transit, or if the result of determination in step S7 is Is included, the vehicle 3 is considered not to be a transit vehicle and is treated as a first ride (step S8), and billing processing is performed at a normal rate that does not apply the transit discount fee ( Step S9).

  In the determination in step S7, it may be determined whether or not the place where the connection is invalidated as described above, or conversely, it is determined whether or not there is no passage other than the route allowing the connection. May be. That is, it may be determined whether or not there is passing information other than the passing information that allows connection.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, for example, even when the roadside device 15 installed at the exit toll booth 7 does not operate normally due to a failure or the like, the entrance from the exit toll booth 6 or other roads A vehicle that reaches the toll booth 10 can be charged as the first ride, while a vehicle that has reached the entrance toll booth 10 from the exit toll booth 10 can be treated as a transit.

  Further, in the check of past passage information such as the determination in step S7, the traffic at the entrance toll gate 10 from the date and time of the first entrance toll gate on the previous traffic route (for example, the traffic date at the entrance toll gate 4). Since it is only necessary to check the passing information only in the time zone between the date and time, the period to be checked can be greatly limited, and the calculation load can be remarkably reduced.

  Next, a second embodiment will be described.

  In the first embodiment described above, the transfer process is described when the toll road once flows out from the toll road to the general road and then flows into the toll road again. However, depending on the toll road form, There is a structure in which a toll gate is provided on the main line, and an additional toll is collected every time the main toll gate is passed. And at this main toll gate, for example, if it is the first charge after inflow from a general road, it will be the first charge, but if the toll road is used as a series of traffic, it will be treated as a continuous use and determined in advance. There is a case where a system is introduced in which a predetermined continuous use discount fee (a certain amount of discount or free of charge) is applied. The second embodiment is applied to such a case, and will be described in detail below.

  The same parts as those in the first embodiment described above are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted, and only different parts will be described in detail.

  FIG. 4 schematically shows a configuration of a toll collection system according to the second embodiment. In FIG. 4, reference numeral 31 denotes a toll road with a flat fee system, for example, and it is assumed that the vehicle 3 on which the vehicle-mounted device 2 is mounted travels in the direction indicated by the arrow. The toll road 31 is provided with a plurality of entrance toll gates 32, 33, 34 and a plurality of exit toll gates 35, 36. The toll booths 32 to 36 are arranged in the order of the entrance toll booth 32, the exit toll booth 35, the entrance toll booth 33, the exit toll booth 36, and the entrance toll booth 34 in the traveling direction of the vehicle 3. It is assumed that the toll booth 36 is an exit toll booth for continuous use and is arranged on the main line.

  On the main line of the toll road 31, a main toll gate 37 to be continuously used is disposed in front of the exit toll gate 36 and in front of the entrance toll gate 34. In this example, it is assumed that the vehicle 3 that has flowed out of the exit toll gate 36 flows again from the main toll gate 37.

  Roadside devices 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43 are installed at the entrance toll gates 32, 33, 34, the exit toll gates 35, 36 and the main line toll gate 37. In this example, it is assumed that a roadside device 44 for route determination is installed on the main line of the toll road 1 between the exit toll booth 35 and the entrance toll booth 33.

  The toll road 31 has a billing mode (flat fee system) in which a fixed amount of a uniform fee is collected at one of the entrance toll gates 32, 33, 34 and the main toll gate 37 when the vehicle 3 uses the toll road 31. Shall be taken. In this example, for example, as shown by a travel route A indicated by a broken line in FIG. 4, the vehicle enters the toll road 31 through the toll road 31 and flows out from the exit toll booth 36 on the main line. In the case of re-inflow from 37, the vehicle 3 is considered to be a continuous use vehicle, and a predetermined continuous use discount fee (predetermined amount or free of charge) is applied to perform charging processing. 4, the vehicle 3 flows from the entrance toll gate 34 via the general road and travels on the toll road 31 as shown by the broken line in FIG. It is assumed that the vehicle is not a continuous use vehicle, and the first boarding fee is assumed.

  The roadside devices 38, 39, 40, and 43 of the entrance toll gates 32 to 34 and the main line tollgate 37 are the same as the configuration of the roadside devices 11 to 13 in the first embodiment described above. The 36 roadside devices 41 and 42 and the roadside device 44 for route determination are the same as the configuration of the roadside devices 14 to 16 in the first embodiment described above, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

Next, the operation of the continuous use process on the toll road according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 5 in such a configuration.
In the following explanation, for example, the travel route A indicated by a broken line in FIG. 4, that is, flows from the entrance toll gate 32, travels on the toll road 31, flows out from the exit toll gate 36 on the main line, and from the main toll gate 37. This is an operation of continuous use processing in the roadside device 43 (lane control device 24) installed in the main toll gate 37 when re-inflowing.

  When the vehicle 3 flows into the main line toll gate 37, information (card information and on-vehicle device information including toll gate information and the like used last time) is acquired from the on-vehicle device 2 mounted on the vehicle 3 (step S11).

  Next, based on the toll gate information used last time in the information acquired from the vehicle-mounted device 2, the exit toll gate for continuous use whose previous passage history can be used continuously, in this case the exit toll gate 36 In addition, it is determined whether or not the time at which the outlet toll gate 36 has flowed out is within a certain time from the current time (the time at which the main toll gate 37 has flowed) (step S12).

  As a result of this determination, if the previous passage history is the exit toll gate 36 subject to continuous use and is within a certain time from the current time, the vehicle 3 is regarded as a continuous use vehicle and is treated as a continuous use (step S13) Charge processing is performed by applying a predetermined continuous use discount fee (a fixed amount of discount or free of charge) determined in advance (step S14).

  As a result of the determination in step S12, if the previous passage history is not the exit toll gate 36 subject to continuous use, the first entrance toll gate on the previous traffic route (this In the example, it is determined whether or not the passage date / time at the entrance toll gate 32) is within a certain time (for example, 24 hours) from the passage date / time at the main toll gate 37 to be continuously used (step S15).

  As a result of this determination, if it is within a certain time, the first entrance toll gate (in this example, the entrance toll gate 32) on the previous passage is based on the previous toll gate information acquired from the vehicle-mounted device 2 and continuously used. (For example, whether it is the same road operator as the main toll gate 37) or not (step S16).

  As a result of this determination, if the first entrance toll gate is an entrance toll gate that can permit continuous use passage, the first entrance toll gate on the previous toll route based on the previous toll gate information obtained from the vehicle-mounted device 2 Passage information (for example, route determination) that invalidates continuous use in the time zone from the date and time of travel at the entrance toll gate (in this example) to the date and time of travel at the main toll gate 37 that is the subject of continuous use There is no problem with the roadside device 44 for use, but if there is passing information of the exit toll booth 35 or the entrance toll booth 33, 34, it is considered that the continuous use is invalid because the vehicle travels outside the continuously available route. ) Is not included (step S17).

  As a result of the determination, if the passage information that invalidates the continuous use is not included, the vehicle 3 is regarded as a continuous use vehicle and is treated as a continuous use (step S13). The billing process is performed by applying a discounted usage fee (a certain amount of discount or free) (step S14).

  If the result of determination in step S15 is not within a certain time, or if the result of determination in step S16 is that the initial entrance toll gate is not an entrance toll gate that allows continuous use, or the result of determination in step S17, When passing information that invalidates continuous use is included, the vehicle 3 is regarded as not being a continuous use vehicle and is treated as a first ride (step S18), and charging is performed at a normal charge that does not apply a continuous use discount charge. Processing is performed (step S19).

  Note that, in the determination in step S17, it may be determined whether or not the passage where the continuous use is invalidated as described above, or conversely whether there is no passage other than the route permitting the continuous use. You may judge. That is, it may be determined whether there is passage information other than passage information that allows continuous use.

  As described above, according to the second embodiment, the main toll gate 37 in FIG. 4 is considered to be the entrance toll gate 10 in FIG. It can be applied as a response to a case where a failure has occurred in the roadside device 42 of the toll booth 36.

  That is, for example, even in a case where the roadside device 42 installed at the exit toll gate 36 does not operate normally due to a failure or the like, for the vehicle that has reached the main toll gate 37 from the entrance toll gate 34, the charging process as the first ride The vehicle that has reached the main toll booth 37 from the exit toll booth 36 can be treated as a continuous use.

  Further, in the check of past passage information such as the determination in step S17, the traffic at the main toll gate 37 from the traffic date and time of the first entrance toll gate on the previous traffic route (for example, the traffic date and time at the entrance toll gate 32). Since it is only necessary to check the passing information only in the time zone between the date and time, the period to be checked can be greatly limited, and the calculation load can be remarkably reduced.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the transfer process and the continuous use process are performed by the lane control device of the roadside device has been described, but it is not necessarily performed by the lane control device of the roadside device. For example, the host device (host computer) You may make it carry out.
