Electronic toll collection system

Abstract

The invention discloses an electronic toll collection system comprising a beacon device used for broadcasting beacon information associated with the geographical location of the beacon device, a server used for receiving user-related information and the beacon information from a user side and calculating and collecting the toll according to the user-related information and the beacon information, and a toll gate used for automatically releasing vehicles authorized to pass according to a release license plate set issued by a retrieving server after the server collects the toll, wherein the beacon information is received by the user side from the beacon device, and the user-related information includes a user identifier, vehicle information and payment information.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a toll collection system, and more specifically, to a non-stop toll collection system. Background technique [0002] There are two main types of highway tolls at present, one is the parking payment mode, that is, the vehicle parks at the entrance to receive a billing card, returns the card at the exit and pays with cash, bank card or stored-value card; the other is ETC (ElectronicTollCollection electronic non-stop charging system) payment mode, when the vehicle passes the toll booth, the vehicle identification, information writing (entry) and automatic deduction of corresponding funds (exit) from the pre-bound stored value card account are realized through the on-board equipment. Since the parking payment mode requires many links such as parking, card collection, and payment, it is cumbersome and the payment speed is very slow, which is likely to cause congestion at intersections with heavy traffic. ETC omits links such as par...

Problems solved by technology

Since the parking payment mode requires many steps such as parking, taking the card, and paying the fee, it is cumbersome and the payment speed is very slow. It is easy to cause congestion at intersections with heavy traffic

ETC omits links such as parking and card collection, which improves the efficiency of payment, but ETC payment also has the following shortcomings: first, one vehicle, one sensor device, dedicated to special vehicles, and cannot be mixed; second, ETC usually uses stored-value cards, which need to be recharged in advance , and there are currently few recharge outlets, and it is inconvenient to recharge; finally, ETC devices in various places are not compatible, resulting in difficulties in ETC networking, and cross-province use may require separate purchase of ETC sensing devices
