Electronic ETC lane self-service card-swiping system and charging method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides an electronic ETC lane self-service card-swiping system and a charging method thereof. The system comprises a principal controller, a road side reading equipment, an automatic railing machine, a vehicle detection sensor, a charge display, a signal sharing switcher and a self-service card-swiping equipment, wherein, the self-service card-swiping equipment and the road side reading equipment are respectively connected with the principal controller, the automatic railing machine, the vehicle detection sensor and the charge display are all connected with the signal sharing switcher, and the signal sharing switcher is connected with the principal controller. The charging method is as follows: under the control of the lane system, releasing normal transaction vehicles or stopping illegal vehicles according to vehicle position and transaction state; when vehicles can not automatically transact, the vehicles can pass through after automatically swiping cards and processing. The invention is characterized in that vehicles still can automatically swipe cards and pass through the electronic ETC lane capable of passing through from the ETC lane when equipment (OBE, microwave antenna and principal controller) breaks down, or antenna and OBE have poor communication.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electronic non-stop charging lane system, in particular to a self-service card swiping system for an electronic non-stop charging 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 Toll Collection (ETC), when the vehicle passes the road toll station, the vehicle communicates with the antenna through the on-board equipment (OBE) in the communication coverage area, automatically completes the transaction process, and realizes non-stop traffic. The existing ETC lane system can be divided into three types according to the microwave signal coverag...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] (1) When the on-board equipment of the vehicle fails, or the lane antenna fails, or the communication between the two is poor, and the vehicle cannot pass, it can only be transferred to the manual toll lane for processing, thereby reducing the traffic efficiency of the ETC lane;

[0005] (2) When the ETC lane master controller fails, all vehicles will not be able to pass through the ETC lane, and the system will not alarm, resulting in lane congestion;

[0006] (3) When the vehicle follows the vehicle, the system cannot capture the license plate of the rear vehicle because the vehicle in front blocks the rear vehicle;

[0007] (4) When the vehicle cannot pass, the owner cannot communicate with the toll station monitor in time

[0008] The Chinese invention patent with the patent number ZL 200510101197.9 provides "a dual-communication area electronic non-stop toll lane system and its realization method" and the Chinese invention patent with the patent number ZL 200520067262.6 provides "a dual-communication area electronic non-stop toll lane system and its realization method" Parking 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 areas (far communication area, near communication area) covered by the two sets of devices overlap partially, which solves the problem of Car-following interference, reversing, malicious queuing and low vehicle speed, etc., but it cannot solve the problem that the vehicle needs to be transferred to the manual computer toll collection (MTC) lane due to the failure of the antenna, tag and main control computer
