Multi-business zone electronic fee-charging roadway system and fee charging method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides a multiple trading area electronic toll collection lane system and a charging method thereof. The system comprises a main control computer, and roadside read-write equipment, an automatic railing, a vehicle detection sensor, a fee amount displayer and auxiliary brushing card equipment which are respectively connected with the main control computer, wherein the roadside read-write equipment comprises more than two groups of microwave antennas which cover different regions of the toll collection lane, and each microwave antenna is connected with a same antenna controller or respectively connected with different antenna controllers. The method switches communication coverage regions under the control of a lane system according to the vehicle positions and the trading status, releases vehicles which complete normal trading or stops vehicles which do not complete the trading, and when a non-ETC vehicle appears, releases the vehicle after carrying out supplementary brushing card treatment. The invention solves the problems of vehicle-following interference and the contradiction between the speed of vehicle passage and trading correctness, occupies small space of a toll plaza, has small civil reconstruction work amount, and can ensure the vehicles to pass normally when microwave antennas in any trading range fail.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a hybrid electronic toll lane system under non-free flow application conditions, in particular to a hybrid electronic toll lane system with two or more trading areas and its realization method. Among them, the hybrid electronic toll collection lane system refers to a system that can have both electronic non-stop toll collection and manual computer toll collection in the same lane. Background technique [0002] At present, in the field of road toll collection systems, there are two charging methods, one is manual computer charging (MTC), and the other is electronic non-stop charging (ETC). In the manual computer toll collection method (MTC), when the vehicle passes the road toll station, the toll collector or self-service equipment completes the process of card issuance or toll collection. In the electronic non-stop charging method (ETC), when the vehicle passes the road toll station, the vehicle conducts microwave communicatio...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] (1) ETC system at the front of the railing in the single transaction area: When the long communication area is used, the following vehicle interference is serious, and the effective coverage area of ​​the communication exceeds 4.5 meters in front of the automatic railing arm. Due to the large communication coverage area, multiple vehicles may be in the The phenomenon in the antenna communication coverage area, when the front car cannot trade normally but the rear car can trade, there may be a situation where the front car is mistakenly released, which is called car following interference; when the short communication area is used, the vehicle speed is low and the communication The effective coverage area is within 4.5 meters in front of the automatic railing arm. When trading, the vehicle is close to the automatic railing, so it can only pass at a slow speed, which reduces the traffic efficiency of the ETC lane

[0005] (2) ETC system behind the railing in the single transaction area: the automatic railing is at the rear of the toll island, and the antenna is at the front of the toll island. Due to the long distance between the antenna and the automatic railing, the disadvantage of this layout is that when several vehicles enter the same toll lane Finally, if one of them is a non-ETC vehicle, then the ETC vehicles in the toll lane cannot pass normally, which reduces the traffic efficiency of the ETC lane

[0006] (3) ETC system in front of the railing in the dual communication area: the antenna and the automatic railing are at the front of the toll island. If the original toll island head is extended to install the antenna, the site requirements for the toll plaza are high, and most ramp toll stations cannot be implemented, which hinders The promotion of ETC lanes; if the original toll island is not extended, the problem of vehicles entering by mistake cannot be solved

[0009] The Chinese invention patent with the patent number ZL 2005 1 0101197.9 provides "a dual-communication area electronic non-stop toll lane system and its realization method" and the Chinese utility model patent with the patent number ZL 2005 2 0067262.6 provides "a Dual communication area electronic non-stop toll lane system", this method uses two sets of wireless communication devices with different emission angles, and is connected through a logic processing circuit, the communication area (far communication area, near communication area) covered by the two sets of devices Partial overlap solves the problems of car-following interference, reversing, malicious queue jumping and low vehicle speed, but it is severely restricted by the implementation site and cannot be promoted on a large scale
