Electronic non-stop toll collection method based on electronic non-stop toll collection system capable of preventing toll evasion

Abstract

The invention provides an electronic non-stop toll collection method capable of preventing toll evasion, which can be applied to an ETC system. The method includes the following steps of: detecting the state of a vehicle entering an ETC lane; detecting the height of the vehicle entering the ETC lane and storing the height into a memory; detecting a type of the vehicle entering the ETC lane through an on-board electronic tag detector; performing vehicle determination and decision, i.e., determining the type of the vehicle entering the ETC lane according to preset height pre-determined values of various vehicle types and a detection result of a raster detector; and comparing the vehicle type of a determined result with the vehicle type detected by the on-board electronic tag detector, and deciding an intercept signal and an intervention alerting signal based on a comparison result. The invention also relates to an electronic non-stop toll collection system capable of preventing toll evasion. The method can decide the intercept signal and the intervention alerting signal based on the comparison result of the vehicle type determined by the actual vehicle height and the vehicle type detected by the ETC system rather than only electronic tag identification, and can effectively prevent toll evasion.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of expressway toll collection, in particular to an electronic non-stop toll collection method and system capable of preventing toll evasion. Background technique [0002] Electronic Toll Collection system (ETC, Electronic Toll Collection) is currently the most advanced road and bridge toll collection method in the world. The ETC special lane is specially used for vehicles equipped with ETC vehicle-mounted devices. Microwave-specific short-range communication between the vehicle-mounted electronic tag and the microwave antenna on the ETC lane of the toll station, using computer networking technology to carry out background settlement processing with the bank, so as to achieve the purpose of paying road and bridge tolls without stopping when vehicles pass through the road and bridge toll stations . [0003] The ETC system is especially suitable for use in the environment of highways or bridges and tunnels wit...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, there are many difficulties in the use of the existing ETC system. For example, for different types of vehicles, such as large trucks, large buses, medium-sized buses, small cars, etc., different charging standards are adopted. The standard is implemented in the vehicle-mounted electronic tags and system processing servers. When the corresponding vehicle-mounted electronic tags are recognized, the corresponding deduction will be made according to its information. The charging standard for vehicles is much higher than that for small cars. Many car owners choose to apply electronic tags to replace the on-board electronic tags of small cars on large trucks, large buses, and medium-sized buses, so as to evade fees. This gives ETC The system poses great operational difficulties

[0005] Moreover, in recent years, on statutory holidays, such as National Day, Labor Day, Spring Festival, etc., according to relevant regulations, small cars with less than 7 seats are allowed to pass free of charge, which means that all small cars with 7 seats or less can be on any highway. For the traditional manual toll lanes, the implementation of this method is smooth, but in the ETC lanes, due to the non-stop charging method adopted by the ETC system itself, small cars equipped with on-board electronic tags can quickly Passing through the ETC lane, no toll will be deducted, and non-free vehicles will pay the normal toll

However, due to the serious phenomenon of small passenger cars (vehicles without on-board electronic tags) entering the ETC lane by mistake, there are many special situations in the ETC lane, and the management personnel are tired of dealing with it, and interfere with the normal passage of electronic toll collection vehicles
