The invention provides a hand-held ETC reader and an employed RFID and AR fusion method thereof, and used for displaying information of an ETC vehicle equipped with an OBU. The hand-held ETC reader comprises a short-range communication module, an ETC
database, a phased-array antenna, an electronic
compass, an AR information display
assembly, an image recognition
assembly, a camera, and a processor, the short-range communication module reads MACID and
data information of the OBU and transmits the MACID and the
data information to the AR information display
assembly, the ETC
database is connected with the short-range communication module and the AR information display assembly, the phased-array antenna obtains position information of the OBU and is connected with the AR information display assembly, the electronic
compass obtains coordinate information of the reader and is connected with the AR information display assembly, and the image recognition assembly is connected with the AR information display assembly and the camera. According to the hand-held ETC reader, the processor transmits the position information of the ETC reader and the position information and the
data information of the OBU to the AR information display assembly, the image recognition assembly performs matching of the position information of the OBU and the vehicle position, and fusion and superposition of various information can be realized.
