Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a parking charging method, in particular to a roadside parking charging method based on a video patrol system. Background Art

[0002] Facing the increasing parking demand, the role of roadside parking begins to stand out. However, since there is no toll gate with an interception function in the roadside parking mode compared with the parking lot and parking garage modes, it is difficult to bill and collect fees for the vehicles on each parking berth. The traditional charging method for such roadside parking is to use a handheld PDA for billing and collection. That is, the toll collector holds a charging machine to enter and obtain the license plate of the newly parked vehicle, and then reads the license plate number when the vehicle leaves to obtain the parking time of the vehicle, so as to charge in the way of generating a QR code order or scanning for payment. However, this method is not only limited by the supervision and inspection scope of the toll collector, resulting in a reduction in the parking range and the number of berths; and when a car in the distance or blind spot of vision drives away quickly, it is very difficult for the toll collector to immediately notice and stop the vehicle to complete the charging, resulting in problems such as drivers evading fees and not paying in time.

[0003] In view of the above defects, Patent 202110632280.8 "A Video Patrol System" proposes a patrol and charging mode by a patrol vehicle. The patrol system consists of a remote management platform, geomagnetic parking detectors installed at each parking position, and a positioning system, a management control module and a camera installed on the patrol vehicle; when in use, the patrol vehicle regularly takes pictures and recognizes the license plates of the vehicles at each parking position, and at the same time the geomagnetic parking detectors obtain the parking and leaving times of each parked vehicle, and then send the obtained vehicle information and parking data to the remote management platform respectively; the remote management platform matches and integrates the data obtained by the two to obtain the license plate number, vehicle parking photo and parking duration of the vehicle at each parking position, so as to generate the final charging information and perform online payment and automatic deduction for the vehicle through the license plate number. This method has a wider supervision scope than the traditional manual billing and collection method, lower labor intensity of the toll collectors, and effectively avoids the problem of vehicle fee evasion. Although this parking charging method can record the charging information of vehicles in time, for users who have not bound the automatic deduction agreement and do not actively complete online deduction, there may still be problems such as untimely vehicle payment or fee evasion. Therefore, the video patrol system needs to have a more perfect and comprehensive deduction method.

[0004] With the development of technology, adding the ETC charging method, which was traditionally used for highway toll stations, to parking charging has become a hot topic for manufacturers' research and development. However, the current application method of the ETC charging system in parking lots is to install the ETC charging module at the toll pole at the entrance and exit of the parking lot, enabling automatic sensing and deduction of fees when the vehicle leaves. However, for roadside parking spaces without entrances and exits, this mode cannot achieve the function of ETC charging. On the other hand, when adding the ETC charging system to the existing patrol charging system, due to the problem of network delay in charging for different payment channels, it is easy for users to have payment conflicts and double payment phenomena during the payment process. And how to avoid the above phenomena is a problem that manufacturers need to solve.

[0005] Therefore, a method for realizing ETC charging for roadside parking and preventing mutual conflicts between different payment channels is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a roadside parking charging method based on a video patrol system. It can realize ETC charging for roadside parking and effectively prevent mutual conflicts between different payment channels.

[0007] The technical solution of the present invention: A roadside parking charging method based on a video patrol system includes the following steps:

[0008] A. The patrol vehicle drives along the planned patrol route. The video patrol system on the patrol vehicle acquires vehicle information and recognizes license plates for the vehicles at each parking position. At the same time, the ETC charging module on the patrol vehicle reads the ETC information of the vehicles within the recognition area and sends the read ETC information to the management control module.

[0009] B. The management control module sends the ETC information and the vehicle information with license plate numbers and parking positions obtained by the video patrol system at the same time to the management platform. The management platform matches the ETC information and the vehicle information. If the ETC information of the vehicle corresponds to the license plate number, the ETC information of the vehicle is recorded. If the ETC information of the vehicle does not correspond to the license plate number, the ETC information of the vehicle is not recorded.

[0010] C. After the patrol vehicle completes one patrol according to the plan, the management platform obtains and records the data information of all parked vehicles during this time period.

[0011] D. The patrol vehicle conducts multiple patrols along the original route at a specified time interval. The management platform obtains the data information of each parked vehicle in the same way during each patrol. When the vehicle reaches the charging condition, the management platform calculates the ETC charging information of the vehicle and sends it to the ETC settlement center for charging.

[0012] In the aforementioned roadside parking charging method based on the video patrol system, the charging condition in step D is that the management platform separately obtains the vehicle's entry time and departure time to generate a complete order.

[0013] In the aforementioned roadside parking charging method based on the video patrol system, when the vehicle enters and exits the parking position, the geomagnetic vehicle detector at this parking position separately obtains the vehicle's entry time and departure time, and sends this time information and location information to the management platform; in step D, after receiving the vehicle departure information, the management platform first calculates the vehicle's parking time according to the time information. If the parking time meets the charging requirements, it generates the corresponding charging information, then obtains the license plate number and ETC information of the parked vehicle corresponding to this location information, and then combines the license plate number, charging information and ETC information to obtain the vehicle's ETC charging information; if the vehicle's parking time does not meet the charging requirements, no charging operation is performed.

[0014] In the aforementioned roadside parking charging method based on the video patrol system, when the management control module sends the ETC information and vehicle information to the management platform in step B, the management platform obtains the vehicle's entry or departure time according to the sending time of the management control module. The entry time is the time when the video patrol system first recognizes the new license plate, and the departure time is the time when the video patrol system last recognizes the same license plate number at the same parking position; in step D, after the management platform obtains the vehicle's departure time, it calculates the vehicle's parking time according to the entry time and departure time. If the parking time meets the charging requirements, it generates the corresponding charging information, then obtains the license plate number and ETC information of the parked vehicle corresponding to this location information, and then combines the license plate number, charging information and ETC information to obtain the vehicle's ETC charging information; if the vehicle's parking time does not meet the charging requirements, no charging operation is performed.

[0015] In the aforementioned roadside parking charging method based on the video patrol system, during the vehicle's parking period, the user pays the fee through one of the four payment channels: scanning the code to pay, online payment, binding the license plate for automatic deduction, and ETC deduction.

[0016] The ETC charging method in step D includes the following steps:

[0017] D1. When the management platform calculates the vehicle's ETC charging information, query whether the parked vehicle has completed the payment. If the vehicle has completed the payment, stop the payment. If the vehicle has not paid, proceed to the next step;

[0018] D2. Query whether the vehicle is paying through other payment channels. If the vehicle is paying through other payment channels, proceed to the next step. If the vehicle has not paid, directly enter step D4;

[0019] D3. Lock the specified time of the payment channel for which the vehicle is paying the fee, so that other payment channels cannot perform the payment operation within the specified time. At the same time, retain the ETC toll information of the vehicle within the specified time. After the specified time ends, the management platform queries again whether the parked vehicle has completed the payment. If the vehicle has completed the payment, stop the toll collection; if the vehicle is still in the process of paying the fee, terminate the payment request and proceed to the next step; if the vehicle payment fails, proceed to the next step;

[0020] D4. The management platform sends the ETC toll information to the ETC settlement center and locks the ETC deduction channel at the same time. When the ETC deduction is successful, the toll collection is completed. When the deduction fails, release the ETC deduction channel and send the failure information to the management platform, allowing other payment channels to complete the payment request.

[0021] In the roadside parking toll collection method based on the video inspection system described above, when locking the ETC deduction channel in step D4, when the user pays the fee through other payment channels, it is displayed that the order is in the process of payment and a specified time is given to the ETC deduction channel; if the ETC payment is completed after the specified time ends, it is displayed that the payment is successful. If the ETC payment is not completed after the specified time ends, it is displayed that the payment is overdue. At this time, terminate the payment request of the ETC deduction channel and release the ETC payment channel, allowing other payment channels to initiate the payment request.

[0022] In the roadside parking toll collection method based on the video inspection system described above, in step D, when the parking duration of the vehicle reaches the toll collection condition, the management platform first calculates the toll information of the vehicle based on the parking time and license plate number, and makes the payment through the automatic deduction channel bound to the license plate. If the payment fails, proceed to the ETC deduction channel for payment.

[0023] In the roadside parking toll collection method based on the video inspection system described above, after both the automatic deduction channel bound to the license plate and the ETC deduction channel fail to deduct the fee, the management platform retains the outstanding fee information and notifies the management personnel, and the management personnel conduct manual toll collection.

[0024] In the roadside parking toll collection method based on the video inspection system described above, the vehicle speed of the inspection vehicle in steps A and D is less than 25 km / h, and the parking position in steps A - D is the inner roadside parking space, and the length of the parking space is not less than 5 meters.

[0025] In the aforesaid roadside parking charging method based on a video inspection system, after the management control module in step B sends the data information of the same vehicle at the same parking position to the management platform, the management platform rematches the license plate number and ETC information of the vehicle to obtain the ETC information of the vehicle, and then compares the ETC information of the vehicle with the ETC information of the same license plate number. If the two ETC information of the same license plate number are consistent, the ETC information of the vehicle obtained in the latter time is filtered out.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following characteristics:

[0027] (1) On the basis of the existing video inspection system, the present invention adds an ETC charging module and specifically sets a corresponding charging method, enabling the ETC charging module to sense and obtain the ETC information of the vehicles at each parking position on the road as the inspection vehicle moves for inspection, and matching the sensed ETC information with the license plates obtained by the video inspection system, so as to obtain the ETC information of the parked vehicle; when the vehicle leaves, the management platform can send the charging information to the ETC settlement center for deduction according to the ETC information corresponding to the parked vehicle, realizing the automatic ETC deduction of the parked vehicle by the video inspection system;

[0028] (2) On the above basis, the present invention further optimizes the charging method for parked vehicles. By querying whether the vehicle has paid before the management platform issues an ETC deduction operation and locking the payment channel after it is found that another payment channel is making a payment, it can effectively avoid repeated payments generated by multiple payment channels at the same time or during the payment delay time, improving the stability of parking payment; by giving a specified locking time to the ETC deduction channel when other payment channels send payment requests when the ETC sends a deduction request, it can avoid the problem that other payment channels are locked and unable to complete the deduction when there is an obstacle in ETC deduction, thereby further improving the stability of this charging method;

[0029] (3) The present invention also further optimizes the charging calculation method for parked vehicles on the basis of the video inspection system. By taking the time of the vehicle data information sent by the video inspection system as the parking and leaving time of the vehicle, the present invention can also realize the charging and billing of parked vehicles under the condition of reducing the geomagnetic parking space detectors, thereby effectively reducing its overall parking charging cost;

[0030] Therefore, the present invention can realize the ETC charging for roadside parking and effectively prevent the mutual conflicts between different payment channels. Description of the Drawings

[0031] Figure 1 is the operation flowchart of Embodiment 1;

[0032] Figure 2 It is the operation flowchart of Embodiment 2. Detailed implementation manners

[0033] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but it shall not be used as the basis for limiting the present invention.

[0034] Embodiment 1. A roadside parking charging method based on a video inspection system and a geomagnetic parking space detector, the process is as Figure 1 shown, including the following steps:

[0035] A. The inspection vehicle travels along the planned inspection route. The video inspection system on the inspection vehicle respectively obtains vehicle information and license plate recognition for the vehicles at each parking position. The vehicle information acquisition method includes taking photos of the front and rear of the vehicle with the license plate and photos of the vehicle body, so as to obtain the vehicle model and color information of the car. At the same time, the parking position of the vehicle is obtained through the positioning system; License plate recognition is to recognize the license plate number in the photo through existing recognition software to obtain the license plate information of the vehicle at the parking position. At the same time, the ETC charging module on the inspection vehicle reads the ETC information of the vehicle in the recognition area (the recognition area is the maximum recognition range of the ETC charging module), and sends the read ETC information to the management control module;

[0036] B. The management control module sends the ETC information and the vehicle information with the license plate number and parking position obtained by the video inspection system at the same time to the management platform. The management platform matches the ETC information and the vehicle information. If the ETC information and the license plate number of the vehicle correspond to each other, the ETC information of the vehicle is recorded. If the ETC information and the license plate number of the vehicle do not correspond, the ETC information of the vehicle is not recorded;

[0037] C. After the inspection vehicle completes an inspection according to the plan, the management platform obtains and records the data information of all parked vehicles during this period. The data information includes the front, rear and side parking photos of the vehicles in each parking position, the license plate color of the vehicle and the ETC information of the vehicle. If the vehicle does not have an ETC, the ETC information is not included;

[0038] D. The inspection vehicle conducts multiple inspections along the original route at a specified time interval, and the management platform obtains the data information of each parked vehicle in the same way during each inspection; when the vehicle reaches the charging condition, the management platform calculates the ETC charging information of the vehicle and sends it to the ETC settlement center for charging;

[0039] The inspection vehicle is the inspection vehicle including a camera, a positioning system, a management control module, and a first communication module in the patent 202110632280.8 "A Video Inspection System". The ETC toll collection module is a conventional ETC toll collection module used in highway toll stations or parking lots. The ETC toll collection module is directly installed on the inspection vehicle and can sense the ETC information of the vehicles parked in the roadside parking spaces.

[0040] The management platform is the management platform with data receiving, recording, parking toll calculation, and payment functions in the patent 202110632280.8 "A Video Inspection System".

[0041] The toll collection condition in step D is that the management platform respectively obtains the entry time and departure time of the vehicle to generate a complete order.

[0042] When the vehicle enters and exits the parking position, the entry time and departure time of the vehicle are respectively obtained through the geomagnetic parking space detector at this parking position, and the time information and position information are sent to the management platform. This geomagnetic parking space detector is an existing geomagnetic detector with positioning function and the function of sensing the vehicle parking time. The geomagnetic parking space detector is installed on the ground of each parking position; after receiving the information that the vehicle has left in step D, the management platform first calculates the parking time of the vehicle according to the time information. If the parking time meets the toll collection requirements, corresponding toll collection information is generated, then the license plate number and ETC information of the parked vehicle corresponding to this position information are obtained, and then the ETC toll collection information of the vehicle is obtained by combining the license plate number, toll collection information, and ETC information; if the parking time of the vehicle does not meet the toll collection requirements, no toll collection operation is performed.

[0043] During the vehicle parking period, the user can pay the fee through one of the four payment channels: scanning the code to pay, online payment, binding the license plate for automatic deduction (binding the license plate for automatic deduction means that the vehicle owner pre-binds the license plate number on Alipay / WeChat official account / mini-program and selects to agree to the automatic deduction agreement after leaving; when a parking ends, the background queries the user information according to the license plate number and performs automatic deduction), and ETC deduction.

[0044] The ETC toll collection method in step D includes the following steps:

[0045] D1. When the management platform calculates the ETC toll collection information of the vehicle, query whether the parked vehicle has completed the payment. If the vehicle has completed the payment, stop the payment. If the vehicle has not paid, enter the next step.

[0046] D2. Query whether the vehicle is paying through other payment channels. If the vehicle is paying through other payment channels, enter the next step. If the vehicle has not paid, directly enter step D4.

[0047] D3. Lock the payment channel where the vehicle is paying for 5 minutes, so that other payment channels cannot perform payment operations within 5 minutes (locking the payment channel means that only a single payment channel can make a payment within the specified time period, and other payment channels cannot send payment requests), and at the same time retain the ETC toll information of the vehicle within 5 minutes; after 5 minutes, the management platform queries again whether the parked vehicle has completed the payment. If the vehicle has completed the payment, stop the charging; if the vehicle is still in the process of paying, terminate the payment request and proceed to the next step; if the vehicle payment fails, proceed to the next step;

[0048] D4. The management platform sends the ETC toll information to the ETC settlement center, and at the same time locks the ETC deduction channel. When the ETC deduction is successful, the charging is completed. When the deduction fails, release the ETC deduction channel and send the failure information to the management platform, allowing other payment channels to complete the payment request.

[0049] In step D4, when locking the ETC deduction channel, when the user makes a payment from other payment channels, it shows that the order is in the process of payment and gives the ETC deduction channel 5 minutes to complete the payment; if the ETC payment is completed after 5 minutes, it shows that the payment is successful. If the ETC payment is not completed after 5 minutes, it shows that the payment has timed out. At this time, terminate the payment request of the ETC deduction channel and release the ETC payment channel, allowing other payment channels to initiate payment requests.

[0050] In step D above, when the parking duration of the vehicle reaches the charging condition, the management platform first calculates the toll information of the vehicle based on the parking time and license plate number, and makes a payment through the automatic deduction channel bound to the license plate. If the payment fails, then enter the ETC deduction channel for payment.

[0051] After both the automatic deduction channel bound to the license plate and the ETC deduction channel fail to make a deduction, the management platform retains the outstanding payment information and notifies the management staff, who will perform manual charging.

[0052] In steps A and D above, the speed of the patrol vehicle is less than 25 km / h. The parking positions in steps A - D are the inner roadside parking spaces (side parking spaces), the length of the parking space is not less than 5 meters, and the recognition area range of the ETC toll collection module is 10 meters.

[0053] In step B, after the management control module sends the data information of the same vehicle at the same parking position to the management platform, the management platform rematches the license plate number and ETC information of the vehicle to obtain the ETC information of the vehicle, and then compares the ETC information of the vehicle with the ETC information of the same license plate number at the same parking position that has been recorded. If the two ETC information of the same license plate number are consistent, filter the ETC information of the vehicle obtained in the previous time.

[0054] Working principle of the present invention: The present invention combines the ETC charging module with the existing inspection vehicle, enabling the inspection vehicle to sense the ETC information of parked vehicles during the inspection process, and matching it with the vehicle information obtained by the inspection system to obtain the license plate number and parking location corresponding to the ETC information. When the management platform deducts fees after the vehicle departs, it can calculate the parking fees to be paid based on the parking time of the vehicle at the parking location, and deduct the fees from the ETC settlement center through the corresponding ETC information, realizing the ETC deduction function of the video inspection system.

[0055] When the management platform deducts fees, by optimizing the charging method, it can lock any payment channel during the deduction process to avoid the problem of duplicate charging caused by the vehicle paying multiple times through different channels at the same time. During the ETC deduction process, when the user pays through other payment channels, by setting a time limit for the ETC deduction channel, it can avoid the management platform locking a single charging channel for a long time due to charging failures, that is, ensuring the function for users to complete payment through other payment channels.

[0056] Embodiment 2. The roadside parking charging method based on the video inspection system has a process as Figure 2 shown, including the following steps:

[0057] A. The inspection vehicle travels along the planned inspection route. The video inspection system on the inspection vehicle obtains vehicle information and performs license plate recognition on the vehicles at each parking location. The vehicle information acquisition method includes taking photos of the front and rear of the vehicle with the license plate, as well as the body photos, so as to obtain the vehicle type and color information of the vehicle. At the same time, the parking location of the vehicle is obtained through the positioning system; License plate recognition is to recognize the license plate number in the photo through the existing recognition software to obtain the license plate information of the vehicle at the parking location. At the same time, the ETC charging module on the inspection vehicle reads the ETC information of the vehicle within the recognition area (the recognition area is the maximum recognition range of the ETC charging module), and sends the read ETC information to the management control module;

[0058] B. The management control module sends the ETC information and the vehicle information with the license plate number and parking location obtained by the video inspection system at the same time to the management platform. The management platform matches the ETC information and the vehicle information. If the ETC information of the vehicle corresponds to the license plate number, the ETC information of the vehicle is recorded; if the ETC information of the vehicle does not correspond to the license plate number, the ETC information of the vehicle is not recorded;

[0059] C. After the inspection vehicle completes an inspection according to the plan, the management platform obtains and records the data information of all parked vehicles during this period. The data information includes the front, rear, and side parking photos of the vehicles in each parking position, the license plate color of the vehicles, and the ETC information of the vehicles. If the vehicle does not have an ETC, the ETC information is not included;

[0060] D. After a specified time interval, the inspection vehicle conducts multiple inspections along the original route, and the management platform obtains the data information of each parked vehicle in the same way during each inspection; when the vehicle meets the charging conditions, the management platform calculates the ETC charging information of the vehicle and sends it to the ETC settlement center for charging;

[0061] The inspection vehicle is the inspection vehicle including a camera, a positioning system, a management control module, and a first communication module in the patent 202110632280.8 "A Video Inspection System". The ETC charging module is a conventional ETC charging module used in highway toll stations or parking lots. The ETC charging module is directly installed on the inspection vehicle and can sense the ETC information of the vehicles parked in the roadside parking spaces;

[0062] The management platform is the management platform with data receiving, recording, parking fee calculation, and payment functions in the patent 202110632280.8 "A Video Inspection System".

[0063] The charging condition in step D is that the management platform respectively obtains the entry time and departure time of the vehicle to generate a complete order.

[0064] When the management control module sends the ETC information and vehicle information to the management platform in step B, the management platform obtains the entry or departure time of the vehicle according to the sending time of the management control module. The entry time is the time when the video inspection system first recognizes the new license plate, and the departure time is the time when the video inspection system last recognizes the same license plate at the same parking position; in step D, after the management platform obtains the departure time of the vehicle (that is, the vehicle information sent by the management control module is inconsistent with the vehicle information recorded by the management platform at the current parking position), it calculates the parking time of the vehicle according to the entry time and departure time. If the parking time meets the charging requirements, it generates the corresponding charging information, then obtains the license plate number and ETC information of the parked vehicle corresponding to this position information, and then combines the license plate number, charging information, and ETC information to obtain the ETC charging information of the vehicle; if the parking time of the vehicle does not meet the charging requirements, no charging operation is performed.

[0065] Taking the inspection interval of the inspection vehicle as the free parking duration, if the vehicle parks and departs within the interval between two inspections, such that the video inspection system does not obtain or only obtains one parking record of the vehicle, it is considered that the vehicle is within the free parking time.

[0066] During vehicle parking, the user can choose one of the following four payment channels for payment: scanning code payment, online payment, automatic deduction by binding license plate (which means the vehicle owner pre-binds the license plate number on Alipay / WeChat official account / mini-program and selects to agree to the automatic deduction agreement upon leaving; after a parking session ends, the background queries the user information based on the license plate number and conducts automatic deduction), and ETC deduction. Among them, scanning code payment and online payment are completed by the user's independent operation, while automatic deduction by binding license plate and ETC deduction are automatically paid by the management platform.

[0067] The ETC charging method in step D includes the following steps:

[0068] D1. When the management platform calculates the ETC charging information of the vehicle, it queries whether the parked vehicle has completed payment. If the vehicle has completed payment, the payment stops; if the vehicle has not paid, it proceeds to the next step.

[0069] D2. Query whether the vehicle is paying through other payment channels. If the vehicle is paying through other payment channels, it proceeds to the next step; if the vehicle has not paid, it directly enters step D4.

[0070] D3. Lock the payment channel through which the vehicle is paying for 5 minutes, so that other payment channels cannot perform payment operations within 5 minutes, and at the same time retain the ETC charging information of the vehicle within 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, the management platform re-queries whether the parked vehicle has completed payment. If the vehicle has completed payment, the charging stops; if the vehicle is still in the payment process, the payment request is terminated and it proceeds to the next step; if the payment fails, it proceeds to the next step.

[0071] D4. The management platform sends the ETC charging information to the ETC settlement center and locks the ETC deduction channel simultaneously. When the ETC deduction is successful, the charging is completed; when the deduction fails, the ETC deduction channel is released and the failure information is sent to the management platform, allowing other payment channels to complete the payment request.

[0072] When locking the ETC deduction channel in step D4, when the user pays through other payment channels, it shows that the order is in the payment process and gives the ETC deduction channel 5 minutes. If the ETC payment is completed after 5 minutes, it shows that the payment is successful; if the ETC payment is not completed after 5 minutes, it shows that the payment has timed out. At this time, the payment request for the ETC deduction channel is terminated and the ETC payment channel is released, allowing other payment channels to initiate payment requests.

[0073] In step D, when the parking duration of the vehicle reaches the charging condition, the management platform first calculates the charging information of the vehicle based on the parking time and license plate number, and conducts payment through the automatic deduction channel by binding the license plate. If the payment fails, it then enters the ETC deduction channel for payment.

[0074] After both the bound license plate automatic deduction channel and the ETC deduction channel fail to deduct fees, the management platform retains the overdue fee information and notifies the management personnel, who will conduct manual toll collection.

[0075] In steps A and D, the speed of the inspection vehicle is less than 25 km / h. The parking positions in steps A - D are inner - side road parking spaces (parallel parking spaces), the length of the parking space is not less than 5 meters, and the recognition area range of the ETC toll collection module is 10 meters.

[0076] After the management control module in step B sends the data information of the same vehicle to the management platform, the management platform rematches the license plate number and ETC information of the vehicle to obtain the vehicle's ETC information, and then compares the vehicle's ETC information with the ETC information of the same license plate number at the same parking position that has been recorded. If the two ETC information of the same license plate number are consistent, the vehicle's ETC information obtained in the previous time is filtered.

[0077] Compared with Embodiment 1, this embodiment adjusts the calculation method of the driving - in time and driving - out time of the parked vehicle. By using the time when the management platform obtains the vehicle information as the parking or leaving time of the vehicle, this embodiment does not need to obtain the vehicle's in - and - out time through the geomagnetic parking space detector, thus eliminating the setting of the geomagnetic parking space detector, effectively reducing the overall cost and installation difficulty of the parking toll collection system; and after the roadside parking spaces are marked on the road, toll collection can be directly carried out through the above - mentioned method without occupying the parking spaces and prior construction, increasing the usage efficiency of this embodiment.

When the management platform calculates the ETC charging information of the vehicle, it queries whether the parked vehicle has completed the payment. If the vehicle has completed the payment, the payment is stopped. If the vehicle has not paid, it enters the next step; D2. Query whether the vehicle is paying through other payment channels. If the vehicle is paying through other payment channels, it enters the next step. If the vehicle has not paid, it directly enters step D4; D3. Lock the specified time of the payment channel for which the vehicle is paying the fee, so that other payment channels cannot perform the payment operation within the specified time. At the same time, retain the ETC toll information of the vehicle within the specified time. After the specified time ends, the management platform re-checks whether the parked vehicle has completed the payment. If the vehicle has completed the payment, stop the toll collection; if the vehicle is still in the process of paying the fee, terminate the payment request in the process of paying the fee and enter the next step; if the vehicle payment fails, enter the next step. D4. The management platform sends the ETC toll information to the ETC settlement center and locks the ETC deduction channel at the same time. After the ETC deduction is successful, the toll collection is completed. When the deduction fails, release the ETC deduction channel and send the failure information to the management platform, allowing other payment channels to complete the payment request.

2. The roadside parking charging method based on the video inspection system according to claim 1, wherein: In step D4, after locking the ETC deduction channel, when the user makes a payment through other payment channels, it shows that the order is in the process of payment and gives a specified time to the ETC deduction channel; if the ETC payment is completed after the specified time ends, it shows that the payment is successful. If the ETC payment is not completed after the specified time ends, it shows that the payment has timed out. At this time, terminate the payment request of the ETC deduction channel and release the ETC payment channel, allowing other payment channels to initiate a payment request.

3. The roadside parking charging method based on the video inspection system according to claim 1, characterized in that: In step D, when the parking duration of the vehicle reaches the toll collection condition, the management platform first calculates the toll information of the vehicle based on the parking time and license plate number, and makes the payment through the automatically deducted payment channel bound to the license plate. If the payment fails, enter the ETC deduction channel for payment.

4. The roadside parking charging method based on the video inspection system according to claim 3, wherein: After both the automatically deducted payment channel bound to the license plate and the ETC deduction channel fail to deduct the fee, the management platform retains the arrears information and notifies the management staff, who will perform manual toll collection.

5. The roadside parking charging method based on the video inspection system according to claim 1, wherein: In steps A and D, the speed of the inspection vehicle is less than 25 km / h.
