Road ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) and MTC mixed lane system and control method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a road ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) and MTC mixed lane system and a control method thereof. The system comprises an MTC lane controller, a rear end fee display, a barrier, and a vehicle detector, and is characterized by comprising an ETC lane controller, a lane antenna, and a front end feed display; the MTC lane controller is connected with the ETC lane controller; the ETC lane controller is further connected with the lane antenna, the front end fee display, the rear end fee display, the barrier and the vehicle detector. The lane system in the scheme can select the ETC lane controller or MTC lane controller to provide corresponding toll processing service for the vehicle according to the position and trading state of the vehicle based on the condition that the MTC lane controller is connected with the ETC lane controller. The same lane can support two trading modes of the ETC and MTC, and the lane utilization rate and the traffic capacity are greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of road facilities, in particular to a highway ETC and MTC mixed lane system and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] ETC lane system (Electronic Toll Collection, electronic non-stop toll collection) is an advanced automatic highway toll collection system vigorously developed and promoted in my country at present. However, in view of the fact that most of the current ETC lanes are mainly operated in the dedicated lane mode (that is, only ETC users are provided with non-stop charging processing services), for some toll stations with very limited lane resources, if a dedicated ETC lane is set up under the limited lane resources , will inevitably increase business pressure on other lanes, and it is easy to cause discordant phenomena such as insufficient ETC lane flow, but adjacent MTC lanes are queued and blocked, which is extremely detrimental to the long-term development of ETC in my country's express...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, in view of the fact that most of the ETC lanes currently operate in the dedicated lane mode (that is, only provide non-stop toll processing services for ETC users), for some toll stations with very limited lane resources, if a dedicated ETC lane is set up under the limited lane resources , will inevitably increase business pressure on other lanes, and it is easy to cause discordant phenomena such as insufficient flow of ETC lanes, but queuing and congestion of adjacent MTC lanes, which is extremely detrimental to the long-term development of ETC in my country's expressway toll industry

At the same time, most of the current ETC lanes are transformed from the existing MTC lanes. Therefore, if it is necessary to build a highway ETC and MTC mixed lane, in addition to adding the necessary ETC peripheral equipment, it is also necessary to consider the existing MTC lane system. and equipment compatibility issues, otherwise it may cause a large amount of transformation of the MTC lane system, or the inability to effectively reuse existing resources and other adverse effects
