Description

多车道自由车流电子收费系统及其车机Multi-lane free traffic flow electronic toll collection system and its vehicle

技术领域technical field

本发明一种电子收费系统,特别是涉及一种多车道自由车流电子收费(electronic toll collection,ETC)系统及其车机(on board unit,OBU)。The invention relates to an electronic toll collection system, in particular to an electronic toll collection (ETC) system and its on board unit (OBU) for multi-lane free traffic flow.

背景技术Background technique

目前世界各国高速公路的车辆道路通行收费作业大多采行车辆停靠于收费站,而以人工缴款方式付费后才准予放行的方式,然而此种方式除了耗费可观的人事成本外,车辆在通过收费站必须先行停车缴费后再开车前行,无形中增加了用路人时间的浪费以及增加空气污染等问题。At present, most of the road toll collection operations for vehicles on expressways in the world adopt the method that vehicles stop at toll booths and are allowed to pass after paying by manual payment. At the station, you must first stop and pay the toll before driving, which virtually increases the waste of time for passers-by and increases air pollution.

另外,亦有少数使用架设车道系统以特定的短距离通讯协定(dedicatedshort range communication,DSRC)方式进行交易,或利用全球通讯卫星定位系统(global positioning system,GPS)结合移动通讯方式(例如general packetradio service,GPRS)的电子收费(ETC)系统,从而实现电子收费自动化作业的目的。In addition, there are also a few who use the erection lane system to conduct transactions in a specific short-range communication protocol (dedicated short range communication, DSRC), or use the global positioning system (global positioning system, GPS) combined with mobile communication methods (such as general packet radio service , GPRS) electronic toll collection (ETC) system, so as to realize the purpose of automatic operation of electronic toll collection.

然而,无论是采用上述哪一种电子收费系统架构(亦即DSRC或GPS+GPRS),都难以实现多车道自由车流电子收费(multi-lane free flowETC)的目的,其是因行驶在多车道自由车流下的车辆并不需在固定的车道上,而且也不需刻意减速,从而造成收费与执法的困难。However, no matter which of the above-mentioned electronic toll collection system architectures (that is, DSRC or GPS+GPRS), it is difficult to achieve the purpose of multi-lane free flow ETC, because driving in multi-lane free flow Vehicles under the traffic flow do not need to be in a fixed lane, and do not need to deliberately slow down, which causes difficulties in charging and law enforcement.

现将详细参考本发明的示范性实施例,在附图中说明所述示范性实施例的实例。另外,凡可能之处,在附图及实施方式中使用相同标号的元件/构件代表相同或类似部分。Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In addition, wherever possible, elements/components using the same reference numerals in the drawings and embodiments represent the same or similar parts.

图1示出了本发明一示范性实施例的电子收费系统(electronic tollcollection system,ETC system)100的方块图,而图2示出了图1的电子收费系统100实施在收费公路的示意图。请合并参照图1与图2,电子收费系统100包括中控模块(central control module)101、收费模块(toll collectionmodule)103、识别模块(identification module)105,以及执法模块(lawenforcement module)107。基本上,中控模块101用以主导(guide)收费模块103、识别模块105以及执法模块107的行为。也就是说,收费模块103、识别模块105以及执法模块107的运作(operation)皆由中控模块101所控制/掌控。由此可知,中控模块101可以是一个强大的伺服系统(server system)或者是工作站(workstation),但皆不限制于此。FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of an electronic toll collection system (electronic toll collection system, ETC system) 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of implementing the electronic toll collection system 100 of FIG. 1 on a toll road. Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 together. The electronic toll collection system 100 includes a central control module 101, a toll collection module 103, an identification module 105, and a lawenforcement module 107. Basically, the central control module 101 is used to guide the actions of the charging module 103 , the identification module 105 and the law enforcement module 107 . That is to say, the operations of the billing module 103 , the identification module 105 and the law enforcement module 107 are all controlled/controlled by the central control module 101 . It can be seen that the central control module 101 can be a powerful server system or a workstation, but it is not limited thereto.

收费模块103受控于中控模块101而用以发布事先扣款服务(pre-payservice)与事后扣款服务(post-pay service)(例如可以通过一组大功率全向性天线(omni antenna)而于一相对大范围发送事先扣款服务与事后扣款服务,但并不限制于此),藉以使得行驶在收费公路(例如高速公路,但并不限制于此)上的车辆201的车机(OBU,装设于车辆201内)反应于此事先扣款服务与事后扣款服务其中之一而完成扣款。The charging module 103 is controlled by the central control module 101 and is used to issue pre-pay service and post-pay service (for example, through a group of high-power omnidirectional antennas (omni antenna) And send pre-deduction services and post-deduction services in a relatively large range, but not limited to this), so that the vehicle 201 of the vehicle driving on a toll road (such as a highway, but not limited to this) (OBU, installed in the vehicle 201) responds to one of the pre-deduction service and the subsequent deduction service to complete the deduction.

识别模块105受控于中控模块101而用以撷取(capture)车辆201的影像(image),并且发布识别服务(identification service)给装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)(例如可以通过多组小功率指向性天线(directional antenna)的其中之一或组合而于一相对小范围发送识别服务),藉以获得至少包含有车辆201的车牌(license plate)与型号(model)的身份信息(identificationinformation)。其中,每一组小功率指向性天线所覆盖的通讯范围大约为一个车道的宽度,但并不限制于此。The identification module 105 is controlled by the central control module 101 to capture (capture) the image (image) of the vehicle 201, and issue identification service (identification service) to the vehicle unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 (for example, can Send identification service in a relatively small range through one or a combination of multiple groups of low-power directional antennas (directional antenna), so as to obtain at least the identity information including the license plate and model of the vehicle 201 (identification information). Wherein, the communication range covered by each group of low-power directional antennas is about the width of a lane, but it is not limited thereto.

执法模块107受控于中控模块101而用以接收并连结(link)车辆201的影像与身份信息(当识别模块107有获得车辆201的身份信息时),从而进行记录(亦即把已连结车辆201的影像与身份信息的数据储存在数据库(database)内),否则,仅接收并记录车辆201的影像(当识别模块107未获得车辆201的身份信息时,可能车辆201并未装设车机(OBU),或者装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)已发生故障),藉以作为往后执法的依据。The law enforcement module 107 is controlled by the central control module 101 and is used to receive and link (link) the image and identity information of the vehicle 201 (when the identification module 107 has obtained the identity information of the vehicle 201), thereby recording (that is, the linked The image and identity information of the vehicle 201 are stored in the database), otherwise, only the image of the vehicle 201 is received and recorded (when the identification module 107 does not obtain the identity information of the vehicle 201, it is possible that the vehicle 201 is not equipped with machine (OBU), or the vehicle machine (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 has broken down), so as to serve as the basis for future law enforcement.

于本示范性实施例中,收费模块103可以于第一通讯范围(亦即图2的事先扣款通讯范围(pre-pay communication range)E与事后扣款通讯范围(post-pay communication range)F所涵盖的范围)发布事先扣款服务与事后扣款服务给装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU);另外,识别模块105可以于第二通讯范围(亦即图2的识别通讯范围(identification communication range)A~D所涵盖的范围)撷取车辆201的影像,并且发布识别服务给装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)。In this exemplary embodiment, the charging module 103 can be used in the first communication range (that is, the pre-pay communication range (pre-pay communication range) E and the post-pay communication range (post-pay communication range) F in FIG. 2 ) Scope covered) to issue pre-deduction services and post-deduction services to the vehicle unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201; in addition, the identification module 105 can be in the second communication range (that is, the identification communication range of FIG. 2 ( The identification communication range) A~D) captures the image of the vehicle 201, and issues the identification service to the on-board unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201.

换言之,第一通讯范围可以包括事先扣款通讯范围E与事后扣款通讯范围F;而第二通讯范围可以包括多个识别通讯范围A~D,且识别通讯范围A~D对应等量(isometric)的多个车道(lane)L1~L4。由此可知,事先扣款通讯范围E可以涵盖所有的识别通讯范围A~D。也就是说,事先扣款通讯范围E的部分区域会与识别通讯范围A~D重迭(overlap)在一起。In other words, the first communication range may include the pre-deduction communication range E and the post-deduction communication range F; and the second communication range may include multiple identification communication ranges A~D, and the identification communication ranges A~D correspond to equivalent (isometric ) of multiple lanes (lanes) L1-L4. It can be seen from this that the pre-deduction communication range E can cover all identification communication ranges A-D. That is to say, some areas of the pre-debit communication range E overlap with the identification communication ranges A˜D.

基于上述,当车辆201例如行驶在收费公路的车道L2上,且已进入了事先扣款通讯范围E时,则中控模块101会基于特定通讯协定(specificcommunication protocol,例如IEEE 1609通讯协定,但并不限制于此)而控制收费模块103于IEEE 1609通讯协定所提供的控制通道(control channel,亦即通道178)发布事先扣款服务给装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU),藉以使得装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)可以反应于此事先扣款服务而于IEEE 1609通讯协定所提供的多个(亦即6个)服务通道(service channel)中的一扣款服务通道(pay service channel,例如通道182,但并不限制于此)进行一『间歇(intermittent)扣款程序』。Based on the above, for example, when the vehicle 201 is driving on the lane L2 of the toll road and has entered the communication range E of the deduction in advance, the central control module 101 will be based on a specific communication protocol (specific communication protocol, such as the IEEE 1609 communication protocol, but not not limited thereto) and the control charging module 103 issues the deduction service in advance to the vehicle unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 on the control channel (control channel, namely channel 178) provided by the IEEE 1609 communication protocol, so as to make The on-board unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 can respond to the deduction service in advance and provide a deduction service channel among multiple (that is, 6) service channels (service channels) provided by the IEEE 1609 communication protocol (pay service channel, such as channel 182, but not limited thereto) carry out an "intermittent (intermittent) deduction procedure".

于此,由于IEEE 1609通讯协定所提供的控制通道(通道178)与6个服务通道(通道172、174、176、180、182、184)的频率(frequency)彼此相异(如图3所示),而且IEEE 1609通讯协定可以提供交替通道存取模式(alternating channel access mode)(如图4所示),所以一旦装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)监听到收费模块103于IEEE 1609通讯协定所提供的控制通道(通道178)上所发布的事先扣款服务后,装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)就会到IEEE 1609通讯协定所提供的扣款服务通道(通道182)进行付费。Here, since the frequencies (frequency) of the control channel (channel 178) and the six service channels (channels 172, 174, 176, 180, 182, 184) provided by the IEEE 1609 communication protocol are different from each other (as shown in FIG. 3 ), and the IEEE 1609 communication protocol can provide an alternate channel access mode (alternating channel access mode) (as shown in Figure 4), so once the vehicle unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 monitors the charging module 103 in IEEE 1609 After the pre-deduction service issued on the control channel (channel 178) provided by the communication agreement, the vehicle unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 will go to the deduction service channel (channel 182) provided by the IEEE 1609 communication agreement. ) to make a payment.

于本实施例中,由于IEEE 1609通讯协定所提供的扣款服务通道(通道182)的服务时段(service interval)有限,所以装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)可能必需于IEEE 1609通讯协定所提供的控制通道(通道178)与扣款服务通道(通道182)进行多次的交替通道存取后才有可能完成扣款(亦即也有可能无法完成扣款),而这也就是前述『间歇扣款程序』的涵义所在。然而,装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)也有可能于IEEE 1609通讯协定所提供的控制通道(通道178)与扣款服务通道(通道182)进行仅一次的交替通道存取后即可完成扣款,一切均视通讯网络环境而定。In this embodiment, since the service interval (service interval) of the chargeback service channel (channel 182) provided by the IEEE 1609 communication protocol is limited, the vehicle unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 may need to communicate with IEEE 1609 The control channel (channel 178) and the deduction service channel (channel 182) provided by the agreement can only complete the deduction after multiple alternate channel accesses (that is, the deduction may not be completed), and this is the aforementioned What is meant by the "intermittent debit procedure". However, the on-board unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 may also perform only one alternate channel access to the control channel (channel 178) and the deduction service channel (channel 182) provided by the IEEE 1609 communication protocol. To complete the deduction, everything depends on the communication network environment.

于本示范性实施例中,当装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)于事先扣款通讯范围E所进行的间歇扣款程序成功(succeed)时,则表示完成扣款;反之,当装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)于事先扣款通讯范围E所进行的间歇扣款程序失败(fail)时,则表示未完成扣款。于此,装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)一定有能力知道于事先扣款通讯范围E所进行的间歇扣款程序为成功或失败。In this exemplary embodiment, when the intermittent deduction procedure carried out by the OBU installed in the vehicle 201 in the pre-deduction communication range E is successful (succeed), it means that the deduction is completed; otherwise, when When the intermittent deduction procedure performed by the on-board unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 in the pre-deduction communication range E fails (fail), it means that the deduction has not been completed. Here, the on-board unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 must be able to know whether the intermittent deduction procedure performed in the pre-deduction communication range E is successful or failed.

紧接着,当行驶在收费公路的车道L2上的车辆201经过事先架设(mount)在收费公路上多个排列成一直线以横跨车道L1~L4的感应装置(sensor)S的瞬间(如图2所示的打圆黑点直线处,其可视为识别模块105的一部分,且可藉由微波、光学与压力等技术的其中之一或组合来实现感应车辆201的机制),识别模块105会藉由感应装置S通知中控模块101,车辆201会进入至识别通讯范围B(假设车辆201维持行驶在车道L2上)。然而,若车辆201在进入识别通讯范围B前临时变换至车道L3的话,则识别模块105会藉由感应装置S通知中控模块101,车辆201会进入至识别通讯范围C。Immediately afterwards, when the vehicle 201 driving on the lane L2 of the toll road passes through a plurality of induction devices (sensor) S that are arranged in a straight line on the toll road in advance to cross the lanes L1-L4 (as shown in Figure 2 The circled black dot shown in the straight line can be regarded as a part of the recognition module 105, and the mechanism of sensing the vehicle 201 can be realized by one or a combination of technologies such as microwave, optics and pressure), the recognition module 105 will The central control module 101 is notified by the sensing device S that the vehicle 201 will enter the identification communication range B (assuming that the vehicle 201 keeps driving on the lane L2). However, if the vehicle 201 temporarily changes to the lane L3 before entering the identification communication range B, the identification module 105 will notify the central control module 101 through the sensing device S, and the vehicle 201 will enter the identification communication range C.

如此一来,中控模块101就会立即控制识别模块105以触发(trigger)任何一种可以进行摄像的装置G(即车辆201维持行驶在车道L2上)/G’(即车辆201变换至车道L3上)(其皆可视为识别模块105的一部分,且可以为照相机、CCD影像感测器、CMOS影像感测器等,但皆不限制于此,而两进行摄像的装置G与G’的摄像范围可以撷取到三车辆并行于两车道的影像)来撷取车辆201的影像,且此时中控模块201也会基于IEEE 1609通讯协定而控制识别模块105于IEEE 1609通讯协定所提供的控制通道(通道178)发布识别服务给装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU),藉以使得装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)反应于此识别服务而于IEEE 1609通讯协定所提供的6个服务通道(通道172、174、176、180、182、184)中的多个识别服务通道(除了通道182以外)的其中之一(例如通道176)回报车辆201的身份信息(亦即车辆201的车牌、型号等)给识别模块105。In this way, the central control module 101 will immediately control the identification module 105 to trigger (trigger) any device that can take pictures G (that is, the vehicle 201 keeps driving on the lane L2)/G' (that is, the vehicle 201 changes to the lane L2 On L3) (it can be regarded as a part of the identification module 105, and can be a camera, a CCD image sensor, a CMOS image sensor, etc., but is not limited thereto, and the two imaging devices G and G' The camera range can capture images of three vehicles running parallel in two lanes) to capture the image of the vehicle 201, and at this time the central control module 201 will also control the identification module 105 based on the IEEE 1609 communication protocol provided by the IEEE 1609 communication protocol The control channel (channel 178) issues the identification service to the on-board unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201, so that the on-board unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 responds to the identification service and conforms to the IEEE 1609 communication protocol. One of the multiple identification service channels (except channel 182) among the provided 6 service channels (channels 172, 174, 176, 180, 182, 184) (for example channel 176) returns the identity information of the vehicle 201 (also That is, the license plate, model, etc. of the vehicle 201) to the identification module 105.

另一方面,就算车辆201在进入车道L2的识别通讯范围B后又临时变换至车道L3的识别通讯范围C,由于识别模块105已经在识别通讯范围B发布识别服务给装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU),所以装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)仍然会反应于此识别服务而于IEEE 1609通讯协定所提供的识别服务通道(亦即通道176)回报车辆201的身份信息给识别模块105。换言之,无论车辆201如何变换车道,装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)都会于识别模块105所指定的识别服务通道进行回报车辆201的身份信息。On the other hand, even if the vehicle 201 temporarily changes to the identification communication range C of the lane L3 after entering the identification communication range B of the lane L2, since the identification module 105 has issued the identification service to the identification communication range B installed in the vehicle 201 On-board unit (OBU), so the on-board unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 will still respond to this identification service and report the identity information of the vehicle 201 on the identification service channel (that is, channel 176) provided by the IEEE 1609 communication protocol to the identification module 105. In other words, no matter how the vehicle 201 changes lanes, the vehicle unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 will report the identity information of the vehicle 201 in the identification service channel designated by the identification module 105 .

于本示范性实施中,当车辆201维持行驶在车道L2上,且已进入至事先扣款通讯范围E与识别通讯范围B的重迭区域(亦即图2所示的打斜线区域)时,中控模块101主导识别模块105于IEEE 1609通讯协定所提供的控制通道(通道178)发布识别服务的优先权(priority)会高于收费模块103于IEEE 1609通讯协定所提供的控制通道(通道178)所发布的事先扣款服务。可见得,中控模块101有能力对事先扣款服务与识别服务进行调度(scheduling)。In this exemplary implementation, when the vehicle 201 keeps driving on the lane L2 and has entered the overlapping area of the pre-deduction communication range E and the identification communication range B (that is, the hatched area shown in FIG. 2 ) The control channel (channel 178) provided by the control channel (channel 178) provided by the central control module 101 in the IEEE 1609 communication protocol will be higher than the control channel (channel 178) provided by the charging module 103 in the IEEE 1609 communication protocol. 178) Advance debit service posted. It can be seen that the central control module 101 is capable of scheduling the deduction service and identification service in advance.

另外,由于IEEE 1609通讯协定可以提供立即通道存取模式(immediatechannel access mode)(如图4所示),所以一旦装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)于此重迭区域(亦即图2所示的打斜线区域)接收到识别模块105所发布的识别服务时,装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)就会立即反应于此识别服务而于对应的识别服务通道(亦即通道176)持续地回报车辆201的身份信息给识别模块105,直至一预设时间为止(由实际状况决定其时间长短)。亦即,装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)在这段预设时间是不会监听IEEE 1609通讯协定所提供的控制通道(通道178)所发布的服务。换言之,一旦超过这段预设时间,装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)才会恢复监听IEEE1609通讯协定所提供的控制通道(通道178)所发布的服务。In addition, since the IEEE 1609 communication protocol can provide an immediate channel access mode (immediate channel access mode) (as shown in FIG. 4 ), once the vehicle unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 is in this overlapping area (that is, as shown in FIG. 2) when receiving the identification service issued by the identification module 105, the on-board unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 will immediately respond to the identification service and in the corresponding identification service channel (also That is, the channel 176) continuously reports the identity information of the vehicle 201 to the identification module 105 until a preset time (the length of time is determined by the actual situation). That is, the on-board unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 will not monitor the services issued by the control channel (channel 178 ) provided by the IEEE 1609 communication protocol during this preset time. In other words, once the preset period of time is exceeded, the on-board unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 will resume listening to services issued by the control channel (channel 178 ) provided by the IEEE1609 communication protocol.

在此先值得一提的是,位于相邻车道的相异车机(OBU)反应于识别模块105所发布的相同识别服务会于相异识别服务通道回报其各别车辆的身份信息给识别模块105。举例来说,行驶在车道L1~L3的三辆车的车机(OBU)可以各别于IEEE 1609通讯协定所提供的3个相异的识别服务通道(例如通道174、176、180)回报其各别车辆的身份信息给识别模块105。换言之,相邻车道上的车辆可以不同的识别服务通道回报其各别的身份信息给识别模块105,从而得以避免回报车辆的身份信息的通道竞争行为。It is worth mentioning here that different OBUs located in adjacent lanes will report the identity information of their respective vehicles to the identification module in different identification service channels in response to the same identification service issued by the identification module 105 105. For example, the OBUs (OBUs) of the three vehicles driving in the lanes L1-L3 can report their respective identification service channels (such as channels 174, 176, and 180) provided by the IEEE 1609 communication protocol. The identity information of each vehicle is given to the recognition module 105 . In other words, vehicles on adjacent lanes can report their respective identity information to the identification module 105 through different identification service channels, thereby avoiding channel competition behavior of reporting the vehicle's identity information.

因此,当识别模块105撷取到车辆201的影像,并且也获得车辆201的身份信息时,中控模块101就会进一步控制执法模块107接收并连结车辆201的影像与身份信息(亦即车辆201的影像与身份信息两者有一对应(mapping)关系),从而进行记录,否则,控制执法模块107仅接收并记录车辆201的影像,藉以作为往后执法的依据。Therefore, when the identification module 105 captures the image of the vehicle 201 and also obtains the identity information of the vehicle 201, the central control module 101 will further control the law enforcement module 107 to receive and link the image of the vehicle 201 and the identity information (that is, the vehicle 201 There is a mapping relationship between the image of the vehicle 201 and the identity information), so as to record, otherwise, the control law enforcement module 107 only receives and records the image of the vehicle 201 as a basis for future law enforcement.

随后,当车辆201从识别通讯范围B进入至事后扣款通讯范围F时,若装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)已于事先扣款通讯范围E完成扣款的话,则装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)就不再监听/理会中控模块101基于IEEE1609通讯协定而控制收费模块103于IEEE 1609通讯协定所提供的控制通道(通道178)所发布的事后扣款服务。Subsequently, when the vehicle 201 enters from the identification communication range B to the post-deduction communication range F, if the on-board unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 has completed the deduction in the pre-deduction communication range E, it will be installed in the The on-board unit (OBU) in the vehicle 201 no longer monitors/regards the post-deduction service issued by the central control module 101 based on the IEEE1609 communication protocol and controls the charging module 103 in the control channel (channel 178) provided by the IEEE1609 communication protocol.

然而,若装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)未于事先扣款通讯范围E完成扣款的话,则装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)就会监听/理会中控模块101基于IEEE 1609通讯协定而控制收费模块103于IEEE 1609通讯协定所提供的控制通道(通道178)所发布的事后扣款服务。如此一来,装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)就会反应于此事后扣款服务而于IEEE 1609通讯协定所提供的扣款服务通道(通道182)进行一『延续(extended)扣款程序』,从而完成扣款。当然,在本发明的其它示范性实施例中,装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)也可以反应于事后扣款服务而于IEEE 1609通讯协定所提供的另一扣款服务通道(亦即相异于通道182的另一通道)进行『延续扣款程序』,从而完成扣款。一切端视实际设计需求/状况而论。However, if the on-board unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 has not completed deduction within the pre-deduction communication range E, the on-board unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 will monitor/disregard the central control module 101 Based on the IEEE 1609 communication protocol, the post-deduction service issued by the charging module 103 on the control channel (channel 178) provided by the IEEE 1609 communication protocol is controlled. In this way, the on-board unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 will respond to the subsequent deduction service and carry out an "extended (extended) deduction in the deduction service channel (channel 182) provided by the IEEE 1609 communication protocol. Payment procedure" to complete the deduction. Of course, in other exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the on-board unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 can also respond to the post-deduction service in another deduction service channel provided by the IEEE 1609 communication protocol (also That is, another channel (different from the channel 182) carries out the "continuation of the deduction procedure" to complete the deduction. Everything depends on the actual design needs/situations.

于此,由于IEEE 1609通讯协定可以提供延续通道存取模式(extendedchannel access mode)(如图4所示),所以一旦装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)监听到收费模块103于IEEE 1609通讯协定所提供的控制通道(通道178)上所发布的事后扣款服务后,装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)就会到IEEE 1609通讯协定所提供的扣款服务通道(通道182或相异于通道182的另一通道)进行付费。Here, since the IEEE 1609 communication protocol can provide an extended channel access mode (extended channel access mode) (as shown in FIG. 4 ), once the vehicle unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 monitors the toll module 103 in the IEEE 1609 After the deduction service issued on the control channel (channel 178) provided by the communication protocol, the vehicle unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 will go to the deduction service channel (channel 182) provided by the IEEE 1609 communication protocol. or another channel different from channel 182) to pay.

而且,由于IEEE 1609通讯协定所提供的扣款服务通道(通道182或相异于通道182的另一通道)的服务时段(service interval)在延续通道存取模式下相对为长(因装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)不需再监听IEEE 1609通讯协定所提供的控制通道(通道178)上所发布的任何服务),所以装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)即可在IEEE 1609通讯协定所提供的扣款服务通道(通道182或相异于通道182的另一通道)致力地进行付费(亦即给予装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)更多的时间以完成扣款),而这也就是前述『延续扣款程序』的涵义所在。但是,若装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)在还是无法在事后扣款通讯范围F完成扣款的话,则执法单位就必须采纳记录于执法模块107内车辆201的影像来做为执法凭证的依据。And, because the service period (service interval) of the deduction service channel (channel 182 or another channel different from channel 182) provided by the IEEE 1609 communication protocol is relatively long in the continuation channel access mode (due to being installed in The on-board unit (OBU) in the vehicle 201 does not need to monitor any services issued on the control channel (channel 178) provided by the IEEE 1609 communication protocol), so the on-board unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 can The chargeback service channel (channel 182 or another channel different from channel 182) provided by the IEEE 1609 communication protocol is committed to paying (that is, to give the vehicle unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 more time to Complete the deduction), and this is the meaning of the aforementioned "continuation of the deduction process". However, if the on-board unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 still cannot complete the deduction in the post-deduction communication range F, the law enforcement unit must adopt the image of the vehicle 201 recorded in the law enforcement module 107 as a law enforcement basis for the certificate.

基于上述示范性实施例所揭示的内容可知,电子收费系统100会在一相对大通讯范围(事先扣款通讯范围E与事后扣款通讯范围F)下与装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)进行通讯,从而使得装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)进行付费(扣款);另外,电子收费系统100会在一相对小通讯范围(识别通讯范围A~D)下与装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)进行通讯,从而撷取车辆201的影像与获得车辆201的身份信息。Based on the contents disclosed in the above exemplary embodiments, it can be seen that the electronic toll collection system 100 will communicate with the vehicle machine ( OBU) to communicate, so that the on-board unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 is charged (deducted); in addition, the electronic toll collection system 100 will communicate with the device in a relatively small communication range (identification communication range A~D). The on-board unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 communicates to capture the image of the vehicle 201 and obtain the identity information of the vehicle 201 .

如此一来,电子收费系统100不但可以实现多车道自由车流电子收费(multi-lane free flow ETC)的目标(因为车辆并不需在固定的车道上(可任意变换行驶车道),而且也不需刻意减速),且又可以精确地将车辆的影像与身份信息做一有效连结,从而提升执法层面的效率与公信力(针对行驶于收费公路上未进行缴费的车辆而言)。除此之外,由于电子收费系统100仅以单一开放式国际标准通讯协定(亦即IEEE 1609通讯协定)来实现多车道自由车流的收费与执法。因此,将有助于提升各国关联于收费公路的产业的发展。In this way, the electronic toll collection system 100 can not only realize the goal of multi-lane free flow ETC (because the vehicle does not need to be on a fixed lane (the driving lane can be changed arbitrarily), but also does not need deliberate deceleration), and can accurately link the image of the vehicle with the identity information, thereby improving the efficiency and credibility of law enforcement (for vehicles driving on toll roads without paying tolls). In addition, because the electronic toll collection system 100 only uses a single open international standard communication protocol (that is, the IEEE 1609 communication protocol) to realize the charging and enforcement of multi-lane free traffic flow. Therefore, it will help to promote the development of industries related to toll roads in various countries.

于此值得一提的是,虽然上述示范性实施例是以电子收费系统100通过IEEE 1609通讯协定来与装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)进行通讯,但在其他示范性实施例中,电子收费系统100亦可采用其他具有多通道(multi-channel)的网络协定来与装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)进行通讯,而这些变形的实施方式亦属本发明所欲保护的范畴之一。It is worth mentioning here that although the above-mentioned exemplary embodiment uses the electronic toll collection system 100 to communicate with the on-board unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 through the IEEE 1609 communication protocol, in other exemplary embodiments The electronic toll collection system 100 can also use other multi-channel network protocols to communicate with the on-board unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201, and these variant implementations are also intended to be protected by the present invention one of the categories.

另一方面,基于上述示范性实施例所揭示的内容可知,装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)经配置(configured)后的运作流程可以如图5所示。换言之,装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)经配置后会执行以下流程:On the other hand, based on the contents disclosed in the above exemplary embodiments, it can be seen that the configured operation process of the OBU installed in the vehicle 201 can be shown in FIG. 5 . In other words, the OBU installed in the vehicle 201 will execute the following process after being configured:

判断是否于事先扣款通讯范围取得事先扣款服务(S501);Judging whether to obtain the pre-debit service within the pre-debit communication scope (S501);

当有于事先扣款通讯范围取得事先扣款服务时,则进行间歇扣款程序,且同时判断是否有取得识别服务(S503);When the pre-deduction service is obtained in the pre-deduction communication range, the intermittent deduction procedure is performed, and at the same time, it is judged whether the identification service is obtained (S503);

当有取得识别服务时,则立即且持续地回报车辆的身份信息至一预设时间为止(由实际状况决定其时间长短)(S505),否则,持续进行间歇扣款程序至离开事先扣款通讯范围为止;When the identification service is obtained, the identity information of the vehicle is reported immediately and continuously until a preset time (the length of time is determined by the actual situation) (S505), otherwise, the intermittent deduction procedure is continued until the pre-deduction communication is left up to the range;

当回报车辆的身份信息号之后,判断间歇扣款程序是否有成功(S507);After reporting the identity information number of the vehicle, it is judged whether the intermittent deduction procedure is successful (S507);

当间歇扣款程序成功时,则表示完成扣款(S509),否则,判断是否于事后扣款通讯范围取得事后扣款服务(S511);以及When the intermittent deduction procedure is successful, it means that the deduction is completed (S509), otherwise, it is judged whether to obtain the post-deduction service in the post-deduction communication range (S511); and

当有于事后扣款通讯范围取得事后扣款服务时,则进行延续扣款程序(S513),藉以完成扣款,否则,持续判断是否有取得事后扣款服务至离开事后扣款通讯范围为止。When the post-deduction service is obtained in the post-deduction communication range, the continuation deduction procedure (S513) is performed to complete the deduction; otherwise, it is continuously judged whether the post-deduction service is obtained until leaving the post-deduction communication range.

由此可知,装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)反应于识别服务而回报车辆的身份信息的优先权会高于其反应于事先扣款服务所进行的间歇扣款程序。简单来说,装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)回报车辆201的身份信息会优先于付费。如此一来,纵使装设于车辆201内的车机(OBU)未完成扣款,执法单位也可以藉由所获得的车辆201的身份以进行举发。It can be seen that the priority of the vehicle unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 to report the identity information of the vehicle in response to the identification service is higher than that in response to the intermittent deduction process performed by the deduction service in advance. To put it simply, the on-board unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 reports the identity information of the vehicle 201 prior to payment. In this way, even if the on-board unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle 201 has not completed deduction, the law enforcement unit can use the obtained identity of the vehicle 201 to make a complaint.

另一方面,基于上述示范性实施例所揭示的内容亦可知,电子收费系统100的识别模块105与执法模块107经配置(configured)后的运作流程可以如图6所示。换言之,电子收费系统100的识别模块105与执法模块107经配置后会执行以下流程:On the other hand, based on the content disclosed in the above exemplary embodiments, it can also be known that the configured operation process of the identification module 105 and the law enforcement module 107 of the electronic toll collection system 100 can be shown in FIG. 6 . In other words, the identification module 105 and law enforcement module 107 of the electronic toll collection system 100 will execute the following process after being configured:

感应车辆是否有进入识别通讯范围(S601);Sensing whether the vehicle enters the identification communication range (S601);

一旦有感应到车辆已进入识别通讯范围时,通过可以进行摄像的装置来撷取车辆的影像,并开始进行时间计数(S603),否则持续感应车辆是否有进入识别通讯范围;Once it is sensed that the vehicle has entered the identification communication range, capture the image of the vehicle through a device capable of taking pictures, and start counting the time (S603), otherwise continue to sense whether the vehicle has entered the identification communication range;

同一时间/紧邻时间,送出识别服务给装设于车辆内的车机(OBU)(S605),并且判断所计数的时间是否超过一预设时间(S607);At the same time/close to the time, send the identification service to the on-board unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle (S605), and judge whether the counted time exceeds a preset time (S607);

若未超于步骤S607所述的预设时间的话,则判断装设于车辆内的车机(OBU)是否有回报车辆的身份信息(S609),否则,传送所撷取的车辆的影像(S611),藉以进行记录(S613);以及If it does not exceed the preset time described in step S607, then determine whether the vehicle unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle has reported the identity information of the vehicle (S609), otherwise, transmit the image of the captured vehicle (S611 ), thereby recording (S613); and

若装设于车辆内的车机(OBU)未回报车辆的身份信息的话,则重复送出识别服务给装设于车辆内的车机(OBU),直至超过预设时间为止,否则,传送并连结所撷取的车辆的影像与身份信息(S615),藉以进行记录(S613)。If the on-board unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle does not report the identity information of the vehicle, the identification service will be sent repeatedly to the on-board unit (OBU) installed in the vehicle until the preset time is exceeded; otherwise, it will be sent and linked The captured image and identity information of the vehicle (S615) are recorded (S613).

综上所述,上述示范性实施例所揭示的电子收费系统100的优势至少有以下几点:To sum up, the advantages of the electronic toll collection system 100 disclosed in the above exemplary embodiments are at least as follows:

The OBUs in different vehicles can respond to the same identification service and report the identity information of their respective vehicles through different service channels, so there will be no collisions on the basis of communication, which can improve The success rate of the service, and at the same time can solve the problem of vehicles changing lanes arbitrarily, thus conforming to the concept of multi-lane free traffic flow;
