Online highway toll collection method and system

Abstract

The invention discloses an online highway toll collection method and system. After reading the data of an ETC card, a toll collection terminal uploads the data online to a toll collection background.The toll collection background carries out online check and toll calculation based on the data, and returns a result to the toll collection terminal. The toll collection terminal writes the card to deduct a toll, and uploads a transaction record online to the toll collection background. The toll collection background generates a transaction flow. The number of data transmission layers of the tollcollection system is reduced, and the transmission link is simplified and shortened. The toll collection parameters are updated in a timely manner, and the correctness of toll collection is ensured. The transaction flow is uploaded in a timely manner, and the business efficiency is improved. The transaction failure flow is recorded, so that the toll collection background can query for all transaction operation details in real time, management is more convenient, and disputes and complaints can be easily handled. As the toll collection terminal and the toll collection background are networked and communicate with each other, the software version of the terminal can be updated online, and the cost of maintenance can be reduced. By means of wireless communication, the amount of construction of wired communication links is reduced, and the toll collection terminal can be made light and portable.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of intelligent transportation, in particular to an online charging method and system for expressways. Background technique [0002] The traditional manual semi-automatic toll collection system (MTC, Manual Toll Collection System) and the electronic non-stop toll collection system (ETC, Electronic Toll Collection System) both adopt the offline toll collection method, that is, when the vehicle passes through the toll station lane, it is on the workstation of the lane itself The charging is completed independently, and there is no networking during the charging process. The parameters used in the transaction, such as the rate parameters for calculating tolls, and the blacklist check for toll evasion, etc., all use locally stored parameters. These parameters are based on the provincial center -The path of road section-toll station-lane is sent to the local regularly, step by step, and in batches. After the toll ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] (1) There is a high risk of delay in issuing toll parameters. From the road section to the toll station to the lane, any level of transmission link may have problems, resulting in a lag in the release of parameters, so that the local blacklist of the lane and the toll calculation parameter version Not the latest version, affecting the correctness of charging

[0005] (2) There is a high risk of delay in the upload of transaction flow. From the driveway to the toll station to the road section, any level of transmission link may have problems, resulting in a delay in the upload of transaction flow, making subsequent reconciliation impossible to start in time, resulting in delays in fund settlement

[0006] (3) Since only the successful transaction data is uploaded to the provincial center for settlement, the provincial center has no data for the records of abnormal transaction failures, and when disputes and complaints occur, it is difficult to trace the investigation information

[0007] (4) When the lane toll program needs to be upgraded, the update project is cumbersome, requiring operation and maintenance personnel to perform local installation and update lane by lane

[0008] (5) All data transmission needs to rely on wired links, and the construction work is relatively large
