Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ETC traffic management, and in particular to an ETC traffic monitoring method, a roadside unit, a vehicle-mounted unit and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) is an electronic toll collection system commonly used in bridges, tunnels, highways and parking lots. Its principle is to realize vehicle identification and information writing through on-board equipment at the entrance, and at the same time deduct the corresponding amount from the IC card or bank account bound before use at the exit. Specifically, ETC uses a dedicated microwave short-range communication between the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle windshield and the microwave antenna on the ETC lane of the toll station. When the vehicle passes through the toll area, the laser detector detects the approaching vehicle and triggers the pass reading device to search for the radio frequency of the ETC pass card to automatically initiate communication verification. However, since the ETC railings generally have an anti-collision function, after the vehicle in front passes the railing, the rear vehicle only needs to follow the vehicle in front to pass smoothly together, which leads to the ETC being cut in line and swiped.

[0003] In the prior art, there is no effective method to identify the behavior of swiping the card, so it is difficult to implement the traffic management of ETC in practical applications. Summary of the invention

[0004] One object of the present invention is to provide an ETC traffic monitoring method applied to an ETC roadside unit, which has the advantage that by comparing the number of axles actually passing through during an ETC traffic process with whether the number of axles of a target vehicle matches, it is possible to timely and effectively identify whether there are any swiping behaviors of other vehicles during this traffic process, thereby achieving a better ETC traffic management effect.

[0005] Another object of the present invention is to provide an ETC traffic monitoring method applied to an ETC roadside unit, which has the advantage that, by setting the trigger condition for the vehicle to send the target vehicle information to the ETC roadside unit, the target vehicle information is sent only when it is identified that there are no other vehicles between the target vehicle and the ETC barrier, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the on-board unit and reducing the use of the on-board unit, thereby extending its service life; at the same time, the information received by the ETC roadside unit is more concise and accurate, and the data processing efficiency is higher, thereby improving the overall efficiency of ETC traffic management.

[0006] Another object of the present invention is to provide an ETC traffic monitoring method applied to an ETC roadside unit, which has the advantage that the permitted ETC traffic conditions are preset so that only vehicles whose front license plate information matches the preset license plate information can be lifted and released, further preventing other vehicles from cutting in line and swiping the ETC when the target vehicle is waiting in line.

[0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide an ETC traffic monitoring method applied to an ETC roadside unit, which has the advantage of detecting the rear license plate of a vehicle that has passed, so as to further determine whether there are other vehicles following the target vehicle and swiping it. If so, the license plate information of the illegal vehicle is recorded for subsequent violation processing, making the entire ETC traffic management more complete and reasonable.

[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide an ETC traffic monitoring method applied to an ETC roadside unit, which has the advantage that the number of axles actually passing through the ETC channel is determined based on the number of times the sensor pedal is pressed, and the corresponding results can be generated in real time for subsequent judgment without complex data processing, thereby further improving the efficiency of ETC traffic management.

[0009] Another object of the present invention is to provide an ETC traffic monitoring method applied to an ETC roadside unit, which has the advantage that after determining that there is no illegal swiping during the ETC traffic process, the passing vehicles are charged in time, thereby better improving the entire ETC traffic management process.

[0011] Another object of the present invention is to provide an ETC traffic monitoring method applied to a vehicle-mounted unit, the advantage of which is that the method sets the trigger condition for the vehicle to send the target vehicle information to the ETC roadside unit, so that the target vehicle sends the target vehicle information only when it is identified that there are no other vehicles between the target vehicle and the ETC barrier, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the vehicle-mounted unit and reducing the use of the vehicle-mounted unit, thereby extending its service life; at the same time, the information received by the ETC roadside unit is more concise and accurate, the data processing efficiency is higher, and the overall efficiency of ETC traffic management is improved.

[0012] Another object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle-mounted unit, which has the advantage that, by executing the ETC traffic monitoring method through the vehicle-mounted unit, the target vehicle information is sent only when it is identified that there are no other vehicles between the target vehicle and the ETC barrier, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the vehicle-mounted unit and reducing the use of the vehicle-mounted unit, thereby extending its service life; at the same time, the information received by the ETC roadside unit is more concise and accurate, and the data processing efficiency is higher, thereby improving the overall efficiency of ETC traffic management.

[0035] The present invention is further described below by way of examples, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the examples.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] Since ETC barriers generally have an automatic anti-collision function, after the vehicle in front passes the barrier, the vehicle behind only needs to follow the vehicle in front and can use the automatic anti-collision function of the ETC barrier to pass smoothly with the vehicle in front during the same ETC passage without using its own ETC pass card for charging. As a result, it is easy for ETC to be cut in line and swiped, which is not conducive to the standardized management of ETC passage.

[0038] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects that currently exist, the present embodiment provides an ETC traffic monitoring method applied to the ETC roadside unit. Specifically, the method can timely determine whether there are other vehicles brushing the road during the passage by comparing the number of axles actually passing through during an ETC passage with the number of axles of the target vehicle. The implementation method is simple, and can effectively prevent ETC brushing behavior, thereby achieving a better ETC traffic management effect.

[0039] like Figure 1 The present embodiment discloses an ETC traffic monitoring method, which is applied to an ETC roadside unit. The ETC traffic monitoring method comprises the following steps:

[0040] S11, receiving target vehicle information, and obtaining the first axle number of the target vehicle according to the target vehicle information, wherein the target vehicle is the vehicle to be passed that is closest to the ETC barrier in the ETC channel;

[0041] S12, obtaining the number of second axles passing through the ETC channel within the target time period; and

[0042] S13. If the number of the first axles does not match the number of the second axles, it is determined that a vehicle has violated the traffic regulations;

[0043] Among them, the target time period includes the time period between the ETC barrier being raised and lowered.

[0044] Regarding the above steps S11 and S12, the first number of axles is the actual number of axles of the target vehicle determined according to the model of the target vehicle, and the second number of axles is the number of axles actually detected passing during the time period from when the ETC barrier is raised to when it is lowered during the same passage process.

[0045] In this embodiment, the axle refers to a cylindrical part connected to the frame (or load-bearing body) through a suspension and with automobile wheels installed at both ends, that is, one axle is connected to two wheels, and the number of axles of a vehicle is half the number of its wheels. For example, for a four-wheeled vehicle, the number of axles is two.

[0046] In order to facilitate identification of the number of axles actually passing through, in a preferred implementation of this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, step S12 specifically includes:

[0047] S121, when the ETC barrier is lifted, generating a second control instruction to start the induction pedal in the ETC channel;

[0048] S122. Obtain the number of second axles according to the number of times the sensing pedal is pressed by the wheels within the target time period.

[0049] In this embodiment, the ETC permission triggers the activation of the sensor pedal in the ETC channel, and the number of axles that actually pass through the ETC channel is determined based on the number of times the sensor pedal is pressed, thereby judging whether multiple vehicles have passed through the channel. The corresponding results can be generated in real time for subsequent judgment without complex data processing, further improving the efficiency of ETC traffic management.

[0050] Because when the vehicle is not traveling in a straight line, the two wheels on the same axle may not press the sensing pedal at the same time. Therefore, in order to make a more accurate judgment, a time range can be preset so that the wheels corresponding to the same axle always press the sensing pedal within the time range. The time range can be set according to actual needs.

[0051] For step S13, by comparing whether the two axle numbers match, it is possible to simply and effectively determine whether only the target vehicle is passing during this passage. If the axle numbers do not match, it indicates that a vehicle has followed the vehicle in front and swiped the ETC of the vehicle in front, and the following vehicle needs to be punished accordingly. Based on this, the ETC traffic monitoring method in this embodiment can simply and effectively determine whether there is a situation of following the vehicle and swiping the ETC, so that the monitoring and management of ETC traffic can achieve better results.

[0052] As a specific embodiment, the ETC traffic monitoring method in this embodiment further includes:

[0053] If the number of the first axles matches the number of the second axles, a charging instruction is generated, and the above-mentioned charging instruction is used to control ETC to start charging.

[0054] If the number of the first axle is the same as the number of the second axle, it means that only the target vehicle passed through this passage, and there were no other abnormal situations, so the toll can be charged normally. In other words, after judging that there was no illegal swiping during this ETC passage, the passing vehicles were charged in time, which better improved the entire ETC passage management process.

[0055] In the prior art, ETC uses microwave-dedicated short-range communication between the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle windshield and the microwave antenna on the ETC lane at the toll station. When the vehicle passes through the toll area, the laser detector detects the approaching vehicle and triggers the pass reading device, and then the reader searches for the radio frequency of the ETC pass card and automatically initiates communication verification. However, since the communication verification is initiated by the roadside unit, it does not verify how many vehicles are within the communication range of the current lane, and whether the first vehicle is the one that initiated the communication, which can easily lead to ETC being cut in line and swiped.

[0056] To this end, in a specific implementation, step S11 includes: receiving target vehicle information sent by the target vehicle;

[0057] The target vehicle information is sent out by the target vehicle when it recognizes that there are no other vehicles between the target vehicle and the ETC barrier based on the image information acquired in front of the vehicle.

[0058] After the target vehicle enters the ETC lane, the front camera of the vehicle collects the current image information in front, and then identifies whether there are other vehicles waiting in line to pass in front based on the acquired image information. If the recognition result is that there are no other vehicles between the target vehicle and the ETC barrier, the vehicle's on-board unit will initiate a communication request with the ETC roadside unit, and send the corresponding target vehicle information and other messages to the ETC roadside unit.

[0059] Based on this, by setting the trigger conditions for the vehicle to send the target vehicle information to the ETC roadside unit, the target vehicle information is sent only when it is identified that there are no other vehicles between the target vehicle and the ETC barrier, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the on-board unit and reducing the use of the on-board unit, thereby extending its service life; at the same time, the information received by the ETC roadside unit is more concise and accurate, and the data processing efficiency is higher, thereby improving the overall efficiency of ETC traffic management.

[0060] Therefore, according to the identification of whether there are other vehicles in front of the target vehicle in this embodiment, it is possible to effectively avoid the situation where the target vehicle information received by the roadside unit does not match the current vehicle to pass, thereby increasing the subsequent processing process and reducing the efficiency of ETC traffic management.

[0061] In another specific embodiment, the target vehicle information includes the license plate information of the target vehicle. After receiving the target vehicle information, Figure 3 As shown, step S11 also includes:

[0062] S111, obtaining the current front license plate information of the target vehicle;

[0063] S112. If the current front license plate information matches the license plate information in the received target vehicle information, a first control instruction is generated, and the first control instruction is used to control the lifting of the ETC barrier.

[0064] Specifically, after receiving the target vehicle information, the ETC roadside unit first activates the vehicle camera system located at the lane barrier to obtain the front license plate information of the target vehicle currently located at the front end of the lane through the vehicle camera system. Then, the front license plate information is compared with the license plate information of the target vehicle received from the vehicle-mounted unit to determine whether to allow the target vehicle to pass.

[0065] This implementation method presets the permitted ETC passage conditions so that only vehicles whose front license plate information matches the preset license plate information can lift the barrier to pass, further preventing other vehicles from cutting in line to swipe the ETC when the target vehicle is waiting in line.

[0066] Furthermore, in order to more accurately verify whether the target vehicle is currently eligible for ETC passage, in specific implementation, the target vehicle information also includes the target vehicle's ETC passage IC card information, which includes but is not limited to the appearance of the target vehicle, whether the IC card is currently valid, whether the owner has a violation record, etc. In addition to comparing the license plate information, other information in the IC card will also be compared one by one with the actual target vehicle. After all types of information are verified, the ETC will automatically lift the barrier to release the vehicle.

[0067] Therefore, in this embodiment, after the target vehicle enters the ETC lane, the on-board unit will decide whether to initiate communication with the ETC roadside unit based on the current actual lane conditions. The ETC roadside unit will perform dual verification of the license plate and pass IC card information only after receiving the communication information, and lift the barrier to allow qualified compliant vehicles to pass. This enables the ETC roadside unit to more accurately identify the correct vehicle for corresponding traffic monitoring and billing, and greatly improves the efficiency of traffic management.

[0068] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, if it is determined that a vehicle has violated the traffic rules, the ETC traffic monitoring method of this embodiment further includes:

[0069] S14, obtaining the rear license plate information of the vehicle that has passed the ETC barrier;

[0070] S15. If the rear license plate information does not match the license plate information in the received target vehicle information, the rear license plate information is recorded.

[0071] Specifically, this embodiment includes two situations, namely, Figure 5 The target vehicle shown in the figure passes normally alone, and Figure 6 It is shown that there are other vehicles following and brushing against the target vehicle from behind.

[0072] The first is that when the target vehicle passes normally alone, the vehicle closest to the ETC barrier is the target vehicle, and the rear license plate of the target vehicle matches the license plate information of the target vehicle received by the ETC roadside unit. Figure 5 As shown, the license plate of the target vehicle received by the ETC roadside unit is A123, and the rear license plate information of the vehicle that has passed and is currently closest to the ETC barrier is also the license plate A123 of the target vehicle.

[0073] The second is when another vehicle swipes behind the target vehicle. At this time, the vehicle closest to the ETC barrier is the swiping vehicle, and the rear license plate of the swiping vehicle does not match the license plate information of the target vehicle received by the ETC roadside unit. Therefore, in this case, if Figure 6 As shown, the license plate of the target vehicle received by the ETC roadside unit is A123, but the rear license plate information actually obtained of the vehicle that has passed and is currently closest to the ETC barrier is the license plate B321 of the swiping vehicle.

[0074] Because the two do not match, it can be determined that the rear vehicle in the second case is a scratch vehicle, and the license plate information of the scratch vehicle needs to be recorded so that the scratch vehicle can be dealt with accordingly in the future.

[0075] Therefore, this embodiment detects the rear license plate of the vehicle that has passed, so as to further determine whether there are other vehicles following the target vehicle and swiping it. If so, the license plate information of the illegal vehicle is recorded for subsequent violation processing, making the entire ETC traffic management more complete and reasonable.

[0076] In addition, in this embodiment, the specific method of implementing step S14 includes but is not limited to setting up image acquisition devices such as cameras at locations such as ETC roadside units and ETC railings.

[0077] This embodiment discloses an ETC traffic monitoring method applied to an ETC roadside unit. By comparing the number of axles actually passing through an ETC traffic process with the number of axles of the target vehicle, the method can timely and effectively determine whether there are other vehicles swiping during the traffic process and record the license plate information of the illegal vehicles, thereby achieving a better ETC traffic management effect. The traffic monitoring method in this embodiment can also verify whether the vehicle is allowed to pass by comparing the license plate information and the vehicle's ETC traffic IC card information, thereby improving the efficiency of ETC traffic management as a whole.

The ETC roadside unit includes a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the processor executes the program, the ETC traffic monitoring method applied to the ETC roadside unit in Example 1 is implemented. Figure 7 The ETC roadside unit 30 shown is merely an example and should not bring any limitation to the functions and scope of use of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0080] like Figure 7 As shown, the ETC roadside unit 30 can be in the form of a general computing device, for example, it can be a server device. The components of the ETC roadside unit 30 may include but are not limited to: at least one processor 31, at least one memory 32, and a bus 33 connecting different system components (including the memory 32 and the processor 31).

[0081] The bus 33 includes a data bus, an address bus, and a control bus.

[0084] The processor 31 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the computer programs stored in the memory 32, such as the ETC traffic monitoring method applied to the ETC roadside unit in Example 1 of the present invention.

[0085] The ETC roadside unit 30 may also communicate with one or more external devices 34 (e.g., a mobile phone). Such communication may be performed via an input / output (I / O) interface 35. Furthermore, the model generating device 30 may also communicate with one or more networks (e.g., a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), and / or a public network, such as the Internet) via a network adapter 36. Figure 7 As shown, the network adapter 36 communicates with other modules of the model-generated device 30 via the bus 33.

[0086] It should be noted that, although several units / modules or sub-units / modules of the ETC roadside unit are mentioned in the above detailed description, such division is merely exemplary and not mandatory.

[0087] Example 3

[0088] This embodiment discloses an ETC traffic monitoring method, which is applied to a vehicle-mounted unit, such as Figure 8 As shown, the above ETC traffic monitoring method includes the following steps:

[0089] S31, acquiring image information in front of the target vehicle; and,

[0090] S32. If it is identified from the image information that there is no other vehicle between the target vehicle and the ETC barrier, the preset target vehicle information is sent to the ETC roadside unit.

[0091] After the target vehicle enters the ETC lane, the front camera of the vehicle collects the current image information in front, and then identifies whether there are other vehicles waiting in line to pass in front based on the acquired image information. If the recognition result is that there are no other vehicles between the target vehicle and the ETC barrier, the vehicle's on-board unit will initiate a communication request with the ETC roadside unit, and send the corresponding target vehicle information and other messages to the ETC roadside unit.

[0092] Based on this, the ETC traffic monitoring method in this embodiment sets the trigger condition for the vehicle to send the target vehicle information to the ETC roadside unit, so that the target vehicle only sends the target vehicle information when it identifies that there are no other vehicles between the ETC barrier, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the on-board unit and reducing the use of the on-board unit, thereby extending its service life; at the same time, the information received by the ETC roadside unit is more concise and accurate, and the data processing efficiency is higher, thereby improving the overall efficiency of ETC traffic management.

[0093] Therefore, according to the ETC traffic monitoring method applied to the vehicle-mounted unit in this embodiment, it is possible to effectively avoid the situation where the target vehicle information received by the roadside unit does not match the current vehicle to pass, thereby increasing the subsequent processing process and reducing the efficiency of ETC traffic management.
