Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] In view of the fact that most current electronic toll collection systems may have delays in identifying and warning abnormal situations, and cannot respond in real time, which reduces the system's working efficiency, an ETC abnormal situation identification intelligent warning system is proposed. Figure 1 , the system includes a data acquisition unit, a data processing unit, an abnormality identification unit, an early warning unit and an information display unit; The data collection unit is equipped with high-precision sensors and cameras to automatically record the vehicle's passage records. These sensors can obtain the vehicle's passage time, license plate information and vehicle type in real time. At the same time, through the interface with the payment gateway, the data collection unit can monitor the transaction amount and payment status in real time to ensure the timeliness and accuracy of the transaction. In addition, with the help of GPS and the vehicle communication system, the collection unit can obtain the vehicle's driving speed data and real-time road information connected to the traffic management center, such as traffic flow, road conditions and weather conditions. These data are quickly transmitted to the data processing unit through the 5G network, forming an efficient and real-time data collection ecosystem, providing a solid data foundation for subsequent abnormal identification and traffic management decisions; The data processing unit removes noise from the above collected data, calculates real-time traffic flow, vehicle transaction success rate, vehicle travel time, average transaction amount and toll processing response time, and performs consistency check between license plate recognition and traffic record data, including: The data denoising formula is as follows: ; The original data may contain a lot of irrelevant or erroneous information.

In the formula, Indicates the charging processing response time. Represents the sum of response times of all transactions, Indicates the total number of vehicles that have completed payment. By analyzing the response time data, resources can be reasonably allocated to ensure that there is sufficient equipment and personnel support during peak hours, thereby improving the service capacity of the toll station; The formula for checking the consistency of license plate recognition and traffic record data is as follows: ; By comparing the license plate recognition results with the traffic record data, the problem of inconsistent information can be discovered and corrected in time, and the accuracy and reliability of the system data can be improved.
