[0038] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand this solution, the following will clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this solution in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this solution. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this solution, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this solution, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of this solution.

[0039] In the specification, claims, and the above-mentioned drawings of this solution, the term "including" and any other variations thereof mean "including but not limited to", intending to cover non-exclusive inclusion and not limited only to the examples listed in the text. In addition, terms such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish different objects rather than to describe a specific order.

[0040] The implementation of the present disclosure will be described in detail below in conjunction with specific drawings:

[0041] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of the toll station self-service card-issuing control system provided for the embodiments of the present disclosure. Referring to Figure 1 this, the toll station self-service card-issuing control system includes: a card-issuing mechanism module, a main control module, a card shortage detection module, a mechanism card-reading module, a vehicle identification module, an audio-video call module, a first card-issuing module, and a second card-issuing module;

[0042] The card-issuing mechanism module is used to place electronic cards, the mechanism card-reading module is configured to identify invalid electronic cards, and the card shortage detection module is configured to monitor the number of electronic cards in the card-issuing mechanism module;

[0043] The main control module is respectively connected to the mechanism card-reading module, the card shortage detection module, the audio-video call module, and the vehicle identification module; the vehicle identification module is configured to collect vehicle information;

[0044] The vehicle identification module is respectively connected to the first card-issuing module and the second card-issuing module.

[0045] In this embodiment, the card-issuing mechanism module may include multiple card-issuing mechanisms to store electronic cards.

[0046] Exemplarily, the card-issuing mechanism module may include two independent sets of upper and lower card-issuing mechanisms, and each set includes three rows of card-issuing mechanisms. When a single mechanism is loaded with cards or maintained, it can be pulled out separately for card loading or maintenance without affecting the operation of another mechanism. The card loading capacity of the upper and lower two sets of card-issuing mechanisms can be freely configured. The capacity of each card-issuing mechanism to store electronic cards is 450, and the total capacity is 900, which can adapt to application lanes with different traffic flows.

[0047] In this embodiment, the vehicle identification module may include a camera unit and a vehicle detector; both the camera unit and the vehicle detector are respectively connected to the main control module, the first card-issuing module, and the second card-issuing module. The vehicle detector may include a coil vehicle detector and a passive vehicle detector.

[0048] Exemplarily, when the vehicle enters the self-service card-issuing lane of the toll station, the camera unit and the vehicle detector in the vehicle identification module start to work. The camera unit is responsible for taking pictures of the vehicle to obtain information such as the license plate, and the vehicle detector detects the arrival and related status of the vehicle. The collected vehicle information is transmitted to the main control module, which processes and analyzes this information. The electronic cards to be issued are placed in the card-issuing mechanism module, and the card-reading module of the mechanism will identify the electronic card to be issued to determine whether it is an invalid electronic card to ensure that the issued card can be used normally.

[0049] Exemplarily, the coil vehicle detector can be divided into a single-channel coil vehicle detector and a dual-channel coil vehicle detector, and their base specifications are the same. By burying a single induction coil under the road surface, when the vehicle passes by, it will cause a change in the inductance of the coil. The circuit inside the vehicle detector will detect this change and convert it into an electrical signal output of information such as the presence, passing, and speed of the vehicle. By burying two induction coils, the vehicle passes through these two coils successively. By measuring the time difference between the vehicle passing through the two coils, the speed and driving direction of the vehicle can be calculated more accurately.

[0050] In this embodiment, the low-card detection module includes a low-card detection sensor; the low-card detection sensor is configured to monitor the quantity of the electronic cards. The low-card detection sensor can include a photoelectric sensor, a capacitive sensor, a pressure sensor, a ultrasonic sensor, or an infrared sensor. The low-card detection sensor is arranged in each card-issuing mechanism to realize the function of detecting when the cards are about to be used up.

[0051] Exemplarily, multiple pressure sensors can be arranged in the card-issuing mechanism module as the low-card detection sensors. The pressure sensors are installed at the bottom of the electronic card storage or on the support structure, and the quantity of the cards is inferred by detecting the pressure of the cards. Commonly used is the strain gauge pressure sensor. When the quantity of the cards decreases and the pressure decreases, the electrical signal output by the pressure sensor will also change. The low-card detection pressure sensor monitors the quantity of the electronic cards in the card-issuing mechanism module in real time. When the quantity of the electronic cards is lower than the preset threshold, it will send a signal to the main control module to prompt that the cards need to be replenished.

[0052] Exemplarily, during the period with large traffic flow, the quantity of the electronic cards in the card-issuing mechanism module gradually decreases. When the sensor in the low-card detection module detects that the quantity of the cards is lower than the set threshold, it immediately sends a signal to the main control module. The main control module controls the sound and light alarm to give an alarm to remind the staff to replenish the electronic cards in time. After the staff quickly replenish the cards, the card-issuing work resumes normal. When loading cards into a single card-issuing mechanism, it can be pulled out separately without affecting the work of another card-issuing mechanism.

[0053] In this embodiment, the audio-video call module is started when needed. The audio-video call module may include a display, a camera, a voice speaker, and an intercom speaker; the display, the camera, the voice speaker, and the intercom speaker are all connected to the main control module. For example, when vehicle information is abnormal or the driver has questions, the driver can communicate with the toll station staff through the intercom speaker, and the staff can view the on-site situation through the camera, give answers through the voice speaker, and at the same time, relevant images will be displayed on the display.

[0054] Exemplarily, a suspected cloned vehicle enters the lane, and there is a conflict between the information collected by the vehicle identification module and the records in the vehicle system. The main control module immediately starts the audio-video call module, and the staff can view the vehicle situation through the camera and communicate with the driver for verification. At the same time, the reading and writing module reads the information in the electronic card to further confirm the true situation of the vehicle. After confirming the problem, relevant law enforcement departments are notified for handling.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first card issuing module and the second card issuing module issue electronic cards to passing vehicles according to the instructions and information of the vehicle identification module. The first card issuing module is arranged above the second card issuing module, and the position of the second card issuing module is lower than that of the first card issuing module. The first card issuing module is used to issue cards for the first type of vehicles, and the second card issuing module is used to issue cards for the second type of vehicles. The first type of vehicles are large vehicles, such as fire trucks and large transport trucks. The second type of vehicles are ordinary small vehicles, such as ordinary private cars. Matching different card issuing modules according to different vehicle types can facilitate the driver to get cards.

[0056] The two card issuing modules may include a card hooking mechanism, a telescopic mechanism, and a card issuing panel; the card hooking mechanism is respectively connected to the vehicle identification module, and the telescopic mechanism is connected to the card issuing panel. The card hooking mechanism may include a floating four-link hook, which is driven by a linkage mechanism and can hook cards simultaneously. For example, the first card issuing module has an upper floating four-link hook, which is driven by a linkage mechanism and can hook cards simultaneously; if the front hook is damaged, it can be used in a degraded mode. For example, when the front hook is damaged, the remaining three hooks can be used to continue the card hooking action to ensure that the card issuing function is not affected too much to a certain extent. For example, the card issuing or recycling speed can be 0.5 seconds per card. The telescopic mechanism can adopt a DC reduction motor and a screw-type telescopic mechanism to control the telescopic distance and the movement process.

[0057] The card issuing channel can be an integrated card channel, which adopts a modular structure, is stable and reliable in operation, and is convenient for maintenance and replacement. The cavity of the integrated card channel assembly is entirely made of non-metallic materials, and is matched with a reader and antenna assembly optimized specifically for the China Proximity Card (CPC) used on Chinese expressways. When the amount of read and written data increases by 10 times, the read and write failure rate can be maintained within 0.3% for a long time.

[0058] Exemplarily, the self-service card-issuing control system of the toll station can be applied to a self-service card-issuing robot, which is an intelligent front-end device of an unmanned toll station. Through this self-service card-issuing control system of the toll station, a variety of hardware modules required for lane toll collection are integrated, supplemented by human-computer interaction engineering design, and with the help of technical means such as edge computing, intelligent voice, 4G / 5G, etc., relying on the support of the intelligent toll collection cloud platform, it realizes unmanned self-service toll collection at the toll station site and automatic handling of special situations, greatly reducing the labor cost expenditure of the road management unit and achieving the purpose of cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

[0059] Exemplarily, an ordinary car drives into the self-service card-issuing lane of the toll station. The vehicle recognition module accurately recognizes the arrival of the vehicle and the license plate information and transmits it to the main control module. The main control module confirms that the vehicle information is normal. At the same time, the card reader module of the card issuing mechanism does not detect an invalid card, and the card quantity detection module shows that the card quantity is sufficient. At this time, the first card-issuing module issues an electronic card to the vehicle according to the instruction. After the driver successfully gets the card, the vehicle passes through the toll station.

[0060] The card reader module of the card issuing mechanism in this embodiment can identify invalid electronic cards. The cooperation between the card issuing mechanism module and the card reader module of the card issuing mechanism can ensure that the issued electronic cards are all valid, avoid the issuance of invalid cards, reduce subsequent toll collection disputes and management chaos, and improve the accuracy and fairness of toll collection.

[0061] The card quantity detection module can monitor the quantity of electronic cards in the card issuing mechanism module in real time, facilitating timely replenishment of cards, avoiding service interruption due to lack of cards, and ensuring the continuity and stability of the card-issuing service.

[0062] The vehicle recognition module can automatically collect vehicle information, connect to the first card-issuing module and the second card-issuing module respectively, and adopt different card-issuing modules for different vehicles, realizing accurate card issuance, improving the card-issuing efficiency, and reducing the vehicle waiting time.

[0063] The unified connection and control of the main control module to each module makes the entire system operate more coordinately and efficiently, and seamless cooperation can be achieved between each module.

[0064] The introduction of the audio and video call module provides a real-time communication channel for the driver and the toll station staff, solves the doubts or problems encountered during the card-issuing process, and improves the service quality and user experience.

[0065] The first card-issuing module and the second card-issuing module issue cards according to the vehicle type, which not only improves the accuracy of card issuance, but also optimizes the card-issuing process, further improving the traffic efficiency of the lane.

[0066] This embodiment adopts a modular design. When a single card-issuing machine core is loaded with cards or maintained, it can be pulled out separately for operation without interference, ensuring the continuous operation of the card-issuing machine core on the other side of the lane and improving the traffic efficiency of the lane. This embodiment supports the free configuration of the upper and lower groups of card-issuing machine cores, can adapt to the needs of different traffic flows, especially during peak hours, and effectively reduces the waiting time of vehicles.

[0067] In summary, the present disclosure realizes unmanned self-service toll collection and special situation automatic processing at the toll station, improves the ability of the self-service card-issuing system to handle complex situations, meets the actual needs, improves the traffic efficiency of the lane, greatly reduces the labor cost expenditure of the road section operation and management unit, and achieves the purpose of cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the self-service card-issuing control system of the toll station further includes:

[0069] A voice broadcast module;

[0070] The voice broadcast module is connected to the vehicle identification module.

[0071] In this embodiment, the voice broadcast module may include a speaker. After the vehicle identification module collects the information of the vehicle, it transmits this data to the voice broadcast module. The voice broadcast module analyzes and processes the received information according to preset rules and programs, then generates a broadcast content and converts the broadcast content into a voice signal for broadcasting.

[0072] Exemplarily, if the vehicle identification module detects that the license plate does not match the registration information in the vehicle system, the reasons may include license plate cloning, license plate damage or misidentification. The voice broadcast module will promptly remind: "The vehicle information is incorrect, please wait a moment." When the actual vehicle type is inconsistent with the system judgment, the voice broadcast module will remind: "The vehicle type identification is abnormal, please confirm." For another example, the vehicle does not hang a license plate, and the vehicle information cannot be obtained through license plate recognition; excessive modification makes it difficult to accurately judge the vehicle type, which does not match the preset vehicle type; it shows that the vehicle has an overdue payment record and needs to handle the overdue payment problem first; the vehicle is on the blacklist due to reasons such as violations and toll evasion; the vehicle exceeds the vehicle size limit specified by the toll station; the key identifiers such as the license plate and vehicle identification number are deliberately blocked; the relevant information of the vehicle cannot be accurately obtained. If the number of electronic cards in the card-issuing machine core module is insufficient, the voice broadcast module will issue a notice: "The current card quantity is insufficient, and it is being replenished. Please wait patiently."

[0073] This embodiment significantly improves the user experience and management efficiency of toll booths by introducing a voice broadcast module. After vehicle information is recognized, the voice broadcast module can immediately provide feedback on vehicle status, such as license plate discrepancy, vehicle model recognition anomaly, etc., so that drivers can quickly understand and handle it. In addition, for situations such as insufficient card volume, voice prompts also avoid unnecessary waiting and reduce the possibility of congestion at toll booths. The entire system is more user-friendly and intelligent, providing drivers with a more convenient and efficient travel experience.

[0074] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the toll station self-service card issuance control system further includes:

[0075] A recycling box; the recycling box is configured to recycle the invalid electronic card.

[0076] In this embodiment, the recycling box can be set as an upper recycling box, a middle recycling box and a lower recycling box. The upper recycling box can recycle the electronic cards received by the upper card issuing port (corresponding to the first card issuing module), the lower recycling box can recycle the electronic cards received by the lower card issuing port (corresponding to the second card issuing module), and the middle recycling box can recycle the invalid electronic cards identified by the movement card reading module or the invalid electronic cards recycled by the card issuing port.

[0077] For example, when a vehicle exits a toll station on a highway, staff or related equipment can retrieve the electronic pass card (i.e., electronic card), read the vehicle driving information recorded in the card, and calculate the toll amount accordingly. After payment is completed, the electronic pass card will be centrally processed or recycled for reuse. Even if the electronic pass card is recycled, the vehicle driving path, time and other data recorded in the electronic pass card will be uploaded to the database of the toll system for storage, and used for subsequent statistical analysis, cost accounting and auditing, etc. For example, a vehicle receives an electronic pass card from toll station A and exits at toll station B. The staff at station B retrieves the electronic pass card, completes the toll after the data is read by the movement card reader module, and then uploads the data of the electronic pass card to the main control module, which decides whether to destroy or recycle it according to its condition.

[0078] For example, for vehicles equipped with Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) equipment, the electronic pass card can be associated with the ETC system. When the vehicle passes through the ETC gantry, the relevant information will be automatically recorded and transmitted, the fee will be automatically deducted at the exit, and the data of the electronic pass card will also be synchronously updated and stored.

[0079] Exemplarily, after a certain period and processing flow, if the electronic access card has reached its service life, is damaged and cannot be used anymore, or for security and management considerations, it will be centrally destroyed. At this time, this type of electronic access card can be recycled into the middle recycling bin. If the card is in good condition and meets the standards for reuse, it will be recycled into the upper recycling bin or the lower recycling bin according to different card issuance ports. This type of electronic access card will be recycled and reused after being cleaned and reset.

[0080] Exemplarily, before issuing a card to a passing vehicle, the core card reading module will read and identify the upcoming electronic card. If it is identified as an invalid electronic card, the electronic card will be recycled into the middle recycling bin.

[0081] In this embodiment, by introducing the design of recycling bins, the classified recycling and reuse of electronic cards are realized. The setting of the upper, middle, and lower recycling bins effectively distinguishes electronic cards from different sources, ensures the precise management and efficient utilization of electronic cards, reduces resource waste at the same time, and improves the sustainability of system operation.

[0082] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the toll station self-service card issuance control system further includes:

[0083] An electronic touch screen, an audible and visual alarm, and a supplementary lighting module;

[0084] The electronic touch screen, the audible and visual alarm, and the supplementary lighting module are all connected to the main control module.

[0085] In this embodiment, the electronic touch screen serves as the human-computer interaction interface. The driver can obtain relevant information, input requirements, or make selections through touch operations. The main control module receives the operation instructions from the touch screen and performs corresponding actions according to the instructions, such as providing more service options, displaying operation prompts, etc.

[0086] Exemplarily, after the driver arrives at the toll station self-service card issuance lane, the driver obtains the operation steps through the electronic touch screen, such as inputting the vehicle type, selecting whether to transport special items, etc. The touch screen transmits the driver's input information to the main control module, and the main control module performs subsequent card issuance processing based on this information.

[0087] Exemplarily, multiple indicator lights can be displayed on the electronic touch screen, which can include a red indicator light (indicating a malfunction of the card issuance module), a green indicator light (indicating normal operation of the card issuance module), and a yellow indicator light (indicating the presence of an invalid card or a damaged card). The number of electronic cards in the card issuance core can be displayed on the electronic touch screen. Relevant operations can be started by touching the start, test, parameter setting, and exception handling on the electronic touch screen, etc., to realize the switching on and off, function testing, parameter setting, and exception and fault handling of the self-service card issuance control system.

[0088] In this embodiment, the audible and visual alarm can include an indicator light and a buzzer. The audible and visual alarm is triggered when a specific situation occurs. For example, when there are equipment failures, insufficient card quantities, abnormal vehicle information, etc., the main control module will send a signal to the audible and visual alarm, causing the corresponding indicator light to light up or flash, and at the same time the buzzer emits an alarm sound to alert the staff or the driver.

[0089] Exemplarily, if a failure occurs in the card reading module of the core of the self-service card dispenser, after the main control module receives the failure signal, it immediately triggers the audible and visual alarm. The alarm emits a loud sound and flashing lights to remind the staff to perform maintenance in a timely manner. At the same time, a failure prompt message is displayed on the electronic touch screen to inform the driver that card issuing is temporarily unavailable and to please wait patiently or switch to the manual lane.

[0090] Exemplarily, when the card quantity detection module detects that the number of electronic cards in the card issuing core module is close to the preset lower limit value, on the one hand, the main control module controls the audible and visual alarm to emit a warning signal, and on the other hand, a prompt message "The card quantity is about to be insufficient, please replenish the cards in time by the staff" is displayed on the electronic touch screen to remind the staff to replenish the cards in time.

[0091] In this embodiment, the supplementary light module can include a light sensor and a supplementary light. When the light sensor detects that the ambient light is insufficient and affects the normal operation of the vehicle recognition module, the main control module will activate the supplementary light module to turn on the supplementary light to provide good lighting conditions for vehicle recognition and ensure accurate acquisition of vehicle information. Or based on a preset time node, the supplementary light module is started regularly. Or based on weather forecast information, the real-time lighting conditions are obtained.

[0092] Exemplarily, when weather conditions such as cloudy days, rainy days, and foggy days that cause insufficient light appear, the supplementary light module is activated to turn on the supplementary light to create good lighting conditions for the vehicle recognition module in advance.

[0093] This embodiment improves the working efficiency and user experience of the toll station. The electronic touch screen provides an intuitive operation interface, enabling the driver or the staff to easily obtain the required information and complete the operation. The real-time prompt function of the audible and visual alarm effectively reduces the delays caused by equipment failures or abnormalities. The supplementary light module ensures that the system can accurately identify vehicles under various light conditions, improving the accuracy and stability of identification. The combined effect of these beneficial effects makes the self-service card issuing control system of the toll station more intelligent, efficient, and convenient.

[0094] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the self-service card issuing control system of the toll station further includes:

[0095] A reading and writing module and a temperature control module;

[0096] The reading and writing module and the temperature control module are both connected to the main control module; the reading and writing module is configured to perform reading and writing operations on the card; the temperature control module is configured to adjust the temperature of the self-service card issuer.

[0097] In this embodiment, the reading and writing module is connected to the main control module. When an electronic card is issued or the vehicle returns the electronic card at the exit, the reading and writing module starts to work. The reading and writing module can read data such as vehicle information, entrance station, time, etc. stored in the card through contact or non-contact interaction with the electronic card, and transmit these data to the main control module. At the same time, when issuing a card, the reading and writing module can write relevant card-issuing information, vehicle type and other data into the electronic card according to the instructions of the main control module.

[0098] Exemplarily, when issuing a card, the reading and writing module accurately writes information such as the vehicle's entrance station and card-issuing time into the electronic card, providing basic data for subsequent toll calculation. When the vehicle returns the card at the exit, the reading and writing module quickly reads the information in the card, including the entrance station, driving route, etc. The main control module calculates the toll amount based on these data. For some special vehicles, such as vehicles that need to record special identifiers or permissions, the reading and writing module can write the corresponding information into the electronic card so that they can enjoy special treatment or special management on subsequent sections.

[0099] In this embodiment, the temperature control module is connected to the main control module and real-time monitors the temperature inside the self-service card issuer through a built-in temperature sensor. When the temperature exceeds the preset normal range, the temperature control module feeds back the temperature data to the main control module. The main control module controls the temperature control module to start the heating or cooling function according to the situation to adjust the temperature inside the device, ensuring that all components work stably in a suitable temperature environment.

[0100] Exemplarily, the temperature control module can include an industrial-grade outdoor constant temperature heating and cooling air conditioner with a refrigeration power of 600W and a heating power of 500W. In extremely cold regions, an auxiliary heat source of 2000W can be configured for heating. The operating temperature can be -40°C to 70°C.

[0101] Exemplarily, in the hot summer, the temperature inside the self-service card issuer is too high, which will affect the performance of electronic components. After detecting the high temperature, the temperature control module starts the cooling function, such as a fan or an air conditioner, to reduce the temperature inside the device and ensure normal operation. In relatively cold regions, too low temperature will cause the device to run slowly. After the temperature control module senses the low temperature, it starts the heating device to maintain the temperature inside the device within a suitable range, ensuring that the reading and writing module, the main control module, etc. can work stably without freezing or data errors. Under extreme weather conditions, such as sudden temperature drop caused by heavy rain or continuous high-temperature weather, the temperature control module can adjust in time according to the temperature change, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the self-service card control system and being unaffected by external temperature fluctuations.

[0102] In this embodiment, the self-service card-issuing control system of the toll station may further include: a smoke sensor and a water immersion sensor; both the smoke sensor and the water immersion sensor are connected to the main control module; the smoke sensor and the water immersion sensor are configured to collect environmental information.

[0103] Exemplarily, when the smoke sensor detects smoke, it means that there is a device fire or short circuit. At this time, it sends a signal to the main control module, and the main control module immediately activates the audible and visual alarm to notify the staff to come and handle it, and takes emergency measures, such as pausing the card-issuing service and activating the fire extinguishing equipment. When the water immersion sensor detects water accumulation on the ground, the reasons may include water pipe rupture or rainwater leakage. After receiving the signal, the main control module can promptly notify the maintenance personnel for emergency repair to avoid damage to the equipment caused by water accumulation and ensure the normal operation of the self-service card-issuing control system.

[0104] By introducing the reading and writing module and the temperature control module in this embodiment, the efficiency and stability of the self-service card-issuing control system of the toll station are significantly improved. The reading and writing module accurately reads and writes the electronic card information, providing an accurate data basis for toll calculation. The temperature control module ensures the stable operation of the system components in a suitable environment by intelligently adjusting the internal temperature of the equipment, and can maintain high efficiency even under extreme weather conditions, greatly improving the working efficiency and user experience of the toll station.
