Description

Toll collection system and method

The present invention relates to a toll collection system and method, and more particularly, to a system and method for collecting a toll on a highway or toll road using a smart card.

Toll collection systems are divided into open and closed systems. The open system divides the toll road into sections and collects tolls for each section. In contrast, the closed system is a system that issues a toll at the entrance of a toll road and checks the toll at the exit and collects the toll according to the section.

1 shows a conventional toll collection system installed at the entrance of a toll road and issuing a toll ticket upon entry of a vehicle.

Referring to FIG. 1, the conventional toll collection system 100 installed at the entrance of a toll road includes a vehicle detecting apparatus 110 and a toll issue machine 120.

The vehicle detecting apparatus 110 is composed of an optical sensor 112 and a measuring plate 114. The optical sensor 112 detects whether the vehicle has entered, and the measuring plate 114 detects lubrication and wheel width of the vehicle.

The pass ticket issuing machine 120 determines a vehicle type based on the webbing and wheel width of the entry vehicle received from the vehicle detecting apparatus 110, and the entrance information including the entrance office identification number, the entry time, the car model, and the like is issued. Such a ticket issue operation of the ticket issuer 120 is performed by the driver pressing a ticket issue button (not shown in the figure) installed in the ticket issuer 120.

2 shows a conventional toll collection system installed at the exit of a toll road and collecting tolls when the vehicle enters.

Referring to FIG. 2, the conventional toll collection system 200 installed at the exit of a toll road is composed of a vehicle detecting device 210, a toll collection device 220, and a toll indicator 230.

The light sensor 212 of the vehicle detecting device 210 detects whether the vehicle is advancing, and the measuring plate 214 detects lubrication and wheel width of the advancing vehicle. Vehicle information detected by the vehicle detection apparatus 210 is output to the toll collection unit 220. The toll collection unit 220 is composed of a pass right confirmation unit 222, a charge settlement unit 224, a receipt issuing unit 226, and an output unit 228.

The passage check unit 222 reads the entrance information recorded in the passage right inserted into the toll collection device 200, and identifies the identification number, advance time, and vehicle detection device of the office where the entrance information and the passage right checker are installed. Toll is calculated based on the exit information including the vehicle model determined by the webbing and wheel width of the advancing vehicle.

The fare settlement unit 224 is a device that collects tolls by recognizing payment means such as a flat-rate ticket checking device and a card reader. When the receipt issuing unit 226 receives a signal indicating that the toll collection is normally completed from the toll collection device 224 or receives a toll collection completion key from an office worker, the receipt issuance unit 226 receives entrance information, exit information, and the like. And a receipt stating the tolls. The output unit 228 displays information about the toll calculated by the toll pass checker 222 and the payment means recognized by the toll settlement unit 224. The toll indicator 230 outputs the toll fee provided from the toll collector 220.

3, a pass 300 is shown. The entrance information 310 and the exit information 320 are printed on the pass 300. The pass ticket issuing machine 120 records the entrance information in the magnetic recording unit 330, and the pass checking machine 222 reads the entrance information recorded in the magnetic recording unit 330, calculates the toll fee, and exits for later confirmation. The information is recorded in the magnetic recording unit 330.

When entering the toll road where the conventional toll collection system is installed, the driver should stop the vehicle at a point near the traffic island where the toll issue machine is installed, and then press the issue ticket button and receive the issued toll ticket. Should be. In addition, when entering the business, the vehicle must be stopped at a point near the traffic island where the sales office booth is installed, and the pass must be handed to the salesperson. At this time, the side of the vehicle may be scratched at the corner of the traffic island where the ticket issuing machine is installed or the traffic island where the sales booth is installed, or the vehicle may receive the ticket issuing machine or the sales booth.

In addition, if the vehicle is stopped at a point too far from a traffic island with a ticket issuing machine or a traffic island where a sales office booth is installed, the driver must get off the vehicle and receive or pass the ticket. Due to these problems, the sales office must wait for the entrance workers by car, which is a factor that increases the toll rate.

5 illustrates an example of a smart card 500. An IC card, commonly called a smart card, consists of an IC chip with a microprocessor and memory in a plastic card, a coil or a flat antenna, and can exchange information without contacting the card reader. Because of its convenience, it is widely used for ID cards and payment methods.

The smart card 500 shown in FIG. 5 includes a magnetic recording unit 510 which is a contact information input / output means, a wireless chip 520 which is a non-contact information input / output means, and a display unit which displays information input from the wireless terminal unit 420 ( 530). The smart card 500 operates by receiving power from the wireless terminal 420, and may include a separate power supply unit. On the other hand, the entrance information displayed on the display unit 530 is preferably displayed until leaving the toll road.

The display unit 430 displays entrance information provided from the wireless terminal 420, and a hologram display device may be adopted. The hologram display can be used as a head up display (HUD) and can be used as a fluorescent display (VFD) or liquid crystal display (LCD) with high brightness (usually 10,000 ㏅ / ㎡ or more). It is a display device that allows the driver to check the information without disturbing the field of vision by projecting the display information into the air by using a display element such as a) and a reflecting plate.

The basic principle of the hologram is to form interferences by simultaneously irradiating light of different phases or wavelengths on the photographic plate. When the appropriate waveforms are applied, it reproduces and displays the information of the two waveforms that formed the interferences. Holograms can be used to reproduce virtual images of objects or to reflect or filter light in certain wavelength ranges. The hologram display currently produced has a diffraction efficiency of 90% or more, a resolution of 600 pieces / mm or more, and full color display.
