A mobile communication-based freeway toll collection system and method

Abstract

The invention provides a highway electronic toll collection (ETC) system and method based on mobile communication. The system comprises a vehicle mobile communication terminal, an exit / entrance toll station terminal, and a central platform database of a highway management center. Before a vehicle arrives, the entrance toll station terminal detects a license plate number of the vehicle in advance through a wireless signal emitter, the vehicle is directly released, and vehicle entrance information and vehicle binding information in the central platform database are introduced to a local real-time database; and the exit toll station terminal detects the license plate number of the vehicle in advance through the wireless signal emitter, the toll of the vehicle is calculated before the vehicle arrives, and after the vehicle arrives, the corresponding expense is deducted and the vehicle is released. A user does not need to stop in the whole passing process, rapid interaction of information is realized only through a wireless network, identity check and expense calculation and deduction are performed before the vehicle arrives, electronic toll collection of the highway is realized, and the work efficiency of charging of the highway is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of intelligent traffic charging, in particular to a mobile communication-based non-stop charging system and method for expressways. Background technique [0002] At present, my country's expressway toll generally adopts two methods: [0003] 1. Manual toll collection method: that is, the vehicle takes the card at the entrance lane of the expressway, and completes the payment by cash or mobile phone scanning code at the exit lane. [0004] 2. ETC non-stop charging method: first, the vehicle needs to be equipped with an OBU unit and pre-charged. Vehicles need to enter from the ETC dedicated lane and drive out from the ETC dedicated lane. The toll is automatically deducted when driving out of the expressway, and there is no need to stop. [0005] Among the two charging methods, the manual charging method takes a long time and has low charging efficiency. The ETC non-stop charging method needs to install a specific OBU...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] Among the two charging methods, the manual charging method takes a long time and the charging efficiency is low. The ETC non-stop charging method needs to install a specific OBU unit, and the ETC special lane also needs to install special testing equipment, which is relatively expensive.
