Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides an exit gate monitoring system for detecting an abnormality in vehicle ticket information at an exit gate 2, for example, a toll road toll collection station, and for smoothly and reliably correcting the information. Regarding.

In recent years, automation has been progressing in various fields,
Recently, entrance and exit gates of toll roads are no exception to this rule, and the trend toward unmanned gates is progressing.

However, especially at the exit gate of a toll road, there is a special task depending on the situation regarding the handling of tolls for passing vehicles, so there is no choice but to deploy staff (hereinafter referred to as collectors).

For example, if the ticket information on the ticket presented by the driver of a vehicle that entered the gate is incorrect, the ticket information is promptly corrected and checked, and the vehicle is returned to the gate. It is necessary to charge the vehicle driver a corresponding fee.

Further, this work, that is, correcting the ticket information promptly, is an important work in obtaining accurate toll calculations even when tolls are totaled on a daily or daily basis.

In view of the above-mentioned special nature of the work, the present invention constantly monitors the pass ticket information at the exit gate for abnormalities.

Specifically, the vehicle type recorded on the ticket as ticket information,
By monitoring the axles, date of entry, time of entry, etc., it checks the vehicle sensors, ticket issuing machines, etc., which will be described later, placed at the entrance/exit gate, and at the same time checks whether the vehicle driver is fraudulent.

Furthermore, if an abnormality is detected in the pass ticket information, the system provides optimal instructions to the ticket collector stationed at the gate and monitors whether the ticket collector operates the terminal correctly according to the instructions. It also performs fraud checks on employees.

That is, the purpose of the present invention is to constantly monitor for abnormalities in the pass ticket information and to supervise and instruct the collector to correct the pass ticket information through key-in operations, thereby simultaneously monitoring the pass ticket information and monitoring the collector. This provides a method for monitoring exit gates.

A further object of the present invention is to provide an exit gate monitoring system that allows for smooth relative operations between a collector and a supervisor who supervises and guides the collector.

An object of the present invention is to detect an abnormality in the toll ticket information by detecting vehicle identification information of a vehicle that has entered a gate, and by comparing the vehicle identification information with the toll ticket information of the toll ticket presented by the vehicle driver. an exit processing terminal that issues a warning to the guard, a camera installed inside the gate that takes pictures of vehicles that have entered the gate, and displays image signals from the camera, vehicle identification information, and ticket information. This is achieved by providing an exit gate system having an image display device that monitors the pass ticket information based on the image signal and vehicle identification information displayed on the image display device.

The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a vehicle sensor, 2 is an exit processing terminal, 3 is a control device, 4 is a television camera, 5 is an image display device, and 6 is a storage device.

The vehicle sensor 1 detects the axle width and vehicle height of a vehicle that has entered the gate, and specific detection means for these include, for example, a treadle, light, and ultrahigh waves.

In addition, the vehicle types handled here refer to vehicle types based on the toll system classification on toll roads.

Now, the detection output of the vehicle axle, vehicle width, and vehicle height detected by the vehicle sensor 1 is inputted to the exit processing terminal 2.

On the other hand, to the exit processing terminal 2, the ticket information written on the ticket carried from the entrance gate by the driver of the vehicle that entered the gate is input directly by the driver or via a collector.

The exit processing terminal 2 determines whether the vehicle entering the gate matches the vehicle type and the number of axles written on the presented pass ticket based on each detection output of the vehicle sensor 1.

In other words, by checking the vehicle type and axle data, it is possible to detect abnormalities in the ticket issuing machine at the entrance gate and the vehicle sensor, and to prevent fraud such as counterfeiting or exchanging tickets by drivers.

At the same time, the exit processing terminal 2 generates the month, day, hour, and minute within its own device, and based on this, the pass has passed a specified amount of time since the entry date and time written on the pass. It also determines whether it is.

For convenience of explanation, the detection output of the vehicle axle, vehicle width, and vehicle height detected by the vehicle sensor 1 and the month, date, hour, and minute output generated inside the exit processing terminal 2 will be hereinafter referred to as vehicle discrimination information.

As mentioned above, the exit processing terminal 2 compares the vehicle identification information with the ticket information, and if there is no abnormality in the ticket information with respect to the vehicle identification information, the ticket information is stored in the storage device 6 via the control device 3. is stored as is.

Here, the control device 3 is used to collect one pass ticket into a storage device, and is used to collect data from exit processing terminals scattered at each booth of the ink change.

In addition, if there is an abnormality in the ticket information compared to the vehicle identification information, the exit processing terminal 2 issues a warning to the gate, that is, a monitoring station located relatively far from the exit processing terminal 2. Inform the staff member that there is an abnormality with the ticket.

In the embodiment shown in the figure, the warning generating section is attached to the image display device 5.

Now, when the guard station detects that there is an abnormality in the pass ticket, the guard operates the television camera installed inside the gate and displays the vehicle entering the gate on the image display device 5. At the same time, the ticket information and vehicle identification information read from the exit processing terminal are displayed on the same screen.

At this time, in addition to the above-mentioned vehicle type, axle, entry date, and entry time, the image display device 5 displays other information recorded on the pass, such as entrance interchange, entrance gate number, ticket serial number, and ticket issue. It is also displayed along with coded information such as the person.

The guard can ascertain which of the pass ticket information is incorrect from the screen of the image display device 5 on which this information is displayed.

For example, if there is an abnormality in the ticket information about the vehicle type, the guard will give instructions to the collector on the Kate side to change the vehicle type.

In addition, if a vehicle is detected that has presented a pass for an unreasonable amount of time after the date and time of ticket issue recorded in the pass information, this is regarded as a suspicious vehicle and appropriate instructions are given to the collector.

Furthermore, other ticket information can be easily recognized on the image display device, so it is clear that the information stamped on the ticket is detected by the vehicle sensor at the entrance gate, the automatic ticket issuing machine, or the ticket in the exit processing terminal. If it is due to an abnormality in the reading section, these abnormalities can also be known.

As mentioned above, if an abnormality is detected in the ticket information, the guard will give instructions to the collector at the gate.

An instruction signal from the guard is given to the exit processing terminal 2, and an instruction lamp on the keyboard section of the exit processing terminal 2 is turned on.

The collector enters new information using the keyboard under this instruction lamp.

The keyed-in information is sent again to the image display device 5 of the monitoring station and displayed, and is re-recognized by the monitoring staff.

The information corrected in this way is also sent to the control device 3 and stored in the storage device 6 under the control of the control device 3.

In this way, normal pass ticket information is always stored in the storage device 6.

In this way, the guard can constantly monitor the ticket information and the operations of the collector at a location remote from the gate.

In addition, when multiple gates are installed, it is also possible to collectively monitor the exit processing terminals placed at each gate with one or two image display devices, and in such a case, the present invention is particularly effective.

As explained above, according to the present invention, abnormalities in the pass ticket information are constantly monitored, and by remotely instructing the ticket collector to correct the pass ticket information through key-in operation, the ticket information and the collector's operations are combined. can be monitored.

The supervisor can quickly learn about the correction process of the collector and can quickly give appropriate instructions.

In the above embodiment, the present method was applied to the exit gate of a toll road, but the present method is not limited to this. Can be applied.
