Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of expressway electronic communication technology, more particularly to a toll station gantry lane linkage efficient passing method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Currently, an ETC gantry system will be built in the expressway section, and the ETC gantry system is used to charge the passing vehicles. The ETC gantry system includes but is not limited to RSU, high-definition camera and other devices, and the RSU is used to trade with the vehicle-mounted terminal (OBU or CPC) in the passing vehicle to achieve the purpose of real-time charging or billing of the vehicle, so as to realize the segmented charging of the ETC vehicle and the segmented billing of the MTC vehicle.

[0003] In order to improve the passing efficiency, the ETC gantries of the expressway entrance and exit are densely arranged, which causes the radio frequency signal of the RSU in the ETC gantry system of the same direction lane to cover the adjacent opposite direction lane, so that the vehicle in the opposite direction lane trades with the RSU in the same direction lane, resulting in the error charge. And the vehicle will be released only when it stops at the ETC gantry recognition device, which causes the passing speed of the vehicle at the toll station to be slow. When the vehicle cannot enter the high-speed due to the problems such as ETC failure, no installation of ETC, and entering the ETC gantry recognition area, the vehicle needs to turn back to enter the manual lane, which seriously affects the passing efficiency.
