DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The exemplary embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present application can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein.

[0020] The existing self-service parking payment process includes: the parking lot billing system generates parking order information of the departing vehicle when sensing the departure of the vehicle, and sends the parking order information to the ETC city payment assistance platform; the ETC city payment assistance platform then establishes a communication connection with the departing vehicle based on the dedicated short-range microwave communication (DSRC) technology by reading the microwave signal sent by the OBU, so as to generate a transaction flow voucher according to the parking order information. For example, if the parking fee of the departing vehicle is 5 yuan, the ETC city payment assistance platform generates a transaction flow voucher of 5 yuan, and sends the transaction flow voucher to a settlement platform such as the highway settlement system for verification, thereby completing the self-service payment of the parking lot vehicle.

[0021] When a vehicle approaches the gear lever, the RSU recognizes the signal from the OBU and automatically opens the parking lot's gear lever, automatically completing the entire charging process without the need for the vehicle owner to stop, thereby improving vehicle traffic efficiency.

[0022] However, RSU can only communicate within a certain short range. If there is a network fluctuation, it is easy for the vehicle to leave the parking lot while the RSU has not yet generated a transaction receipt, thus resulting in asset loss of the parking lot. For roadside parking lots without barriers, it is even more prone to malicious escape.

[0023] Therefore, the inventors of the present application have discovered in practice that although a portion of the estimated parking fee can be deducted through the RSU in the urban transportation network when the vehicle enters the parking space or is parked, that is, a transaction flow voucher of a certain amount is generated before leaving and sent to the settlement platform for verification, the amount of capital loss in the parking lot can be reduced.

[0024] However, this charging method of pre-deducting fees is inconsistent with the payment habits of car owners, which can easily cause dissatisfaction among car owners. It is a major challenge to the operation and maintenance of parking lots, making it difficult to promote and apply the ETC city payment assistance platform.

[0025] Based on this, the inventor of the present application has discovered that it is possible to generate false deductions through the RSU in the urban traffic network during the driving or parking process of the vehicle, and to make real deductions through the settlement platform when the vehicle leaves the parking lot, thereby improving the payment rate of vehicles in the parking lot while ensuring the parking experience of the car owner. Specifically, a transaction flow voucher of a certain amount can be generated through the RSU in the urban traffic network during the driving or parking process of the vehicle. After the parking of the vehicle is completed, that is, when the ETC city payment assistance platform receives the parking order information generated by the parking lot billing system, the ETC city payment assistance platform will send the generated transaction flow voucher to the settlement platform for verification, so that the real deduction will occur at the time of verification, that is, when the vehicle leaves, thereby overcoming the defect of unreliable RSU communication when the vehicle leaves, improving the payment rate of vehicles in the parking lot, and ensuring the smooth promotion of the ETC city payment assistance platform.

[0026] The embodiment of the present application is applicable to assisting the payment of parking fees in the billing systems of parking lots such as indoor parking lots, open-air parking lots, and roadside parking lots.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the ETC city payment assistance system 1 includes an ETC city payment assistance platform 10 and a settlement platform 20 , and the ETC city payment assistance platform 10 includes an RSU 11 and an operation center 12 .

[0028] The ETC city payment assistance platform 10 is used to send the target transaction voucher information to the settlement platform 20.

[0029] The settlement platform 20 is used to verify whether the target transaction voucher information is in a pending payment state. If the target transaction voucher information is in a pending payment state, the target transaction voucher information will be cancelled, and the processing result that the target transaction voucher information has been cancelled will be returned to the ETC city payment assistance platform 10, so that the ETC city payment assistance platform 10 can clear up the target transaction voucher information in time; it is possible that the ETC city payment assistance platform 10 has not cleared up the target transaction voucher information that has been cancelled, causing the target transaction voucher information to be sent repeatedly, resulting in the target transaction voucher information verified by the settlement platform 20 being in a paid state. At this time, the settlement platform 20 returns to the ETC city payment assistance platform 10 the processing result that the target transaction voucher information has been used for payment of the parking order.

[0030] Among them, the RSU11 of the ETC city payment assistance platform 10 is used to identify microwave signals and establish a microwave communication connection with the OBU of the target vehicle that transmits the microwave signal; determine the preset amount information corresponding to the target vehicle; based on the microwave communication connection, generate transaction voucher information corresponding to the target vehicle according to the preset amount information; and send the generated transaction voucher information to the operation center 12.

[0031] The RSU 11 equipped with a dedicated short-range communication module is preferably located in a roadside parking area or a key intersection in the city.

[0032] The operation center 12 is used to receive the transaction voucher information sent by the ETC city payment assistance platform; receive the target parking order information sent by the parking lot billing system, the target parking order information includes the target parking amount information and the target parking vehicle information; match the target transaction voucher information corresponding to the target parking order information according to the target parking amount information and the target parking vehicle information; and send the target transaction voucher information to the settlement platform for verification by the settlement platform.

[0033] Specifically, Figure 3 The flowchart of the ETC city payment assistance method provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown, and the method is executed by the ETC city payment assistance platform 10. Figure 3 As shown, the method comprises the following steps: S110, identifying the microwave signal, and establishing a microwave communication connection with the target vehicle transmitting the microwave signal.

[0034] OBU is an important component of ETC. It stores the vehicle's identification information and is usually installed on the front windshield of the car. It communicates with RSU via DSRC. When the vehicle approaches the gear lever, RSU11 recognizes the signal from OBU and automatically opens the parking lot's gear lever.

[0035] The target vehicle is a vehicle detected by RSU11 in a certain area. For example, the target vehicle is detected by RSU11 installed at a key intersection with heavy traffic in a city, or by RSU11 at an intercity intersection or at the entrance of a parking lot.

[0036] S120, determining preset amount information corresponding to the target vehicle from pre-stored parking amount information.

[0037] In an optional manner, the ETC city payment assistance platform 10 can set a group of deduction amount groups according to the appearance rate of parking order amounts in the city or the parking lot, and can determine the preset amount information from the deduction amount group. For example, if the parking fee of the parking lot is usually 5 yuan and 10 yuan, 5 yuan and 10 yuan of the deduction amount group can be pre-stored as parking amount information, and the selection of parking amount information can be determined based on whether the license plate is a foreign license plate. For example, if the license plate is a foreign license plate, 10 yuan can be selected as the preset amount information of the target vehicle, and if the license plate is a local license plate, 5 yuan can be selected as the preset amount information of the target vehicle.

[0038] S130, based on the microwave communication connection, generating transaction voucher information corresponding to the target vehicle according to the preset amount information.

[0039] RSU11 sends a deduction instruction corresponding to the preset amount information to the on-board OBU of the target vehicle based on DSRC. In the communication with RSU11, OBU authorizes RSU11 to generate transaction voucher information.

[0040] S140, receiving target parking order information sent by the parking lot billing system, where the target parking order information includes target parking amount information and target parking vehicle information.

[0041] After the parking lot billing system detects that the target vehicle has left, the parking lot billing system generates parking order information based on the parking space occupancy time of the target vehicle. For example, if the target vehicle parks for 3 hours, the parking lot billing system generates parking amount information of 5 yuan.

[0042] Among them, the target parking order information is the order information of the parking fee of the target vehicle generated by the parking lot billing system. It can be order information that the parking lot billing system cannot charge through commonly used charging methods (for example, Cloud Quick Pass, WeChat Pay, etc.), such as charging for random roadside parking spaces. It can also be order information that the parking lot billing system can charge through commonly used charging methods, such as charging for parking spaces in the parking lot.

[0043] S150, matching the target transaction voucher information corresponding to the target parking order information according to the target parking amount information and the target parking vehicle information.

[0044] The ETC city payment assistance platform 10 stores transaction voucher information of multiple vehicles, or stores multiple transaction voucher information of the same vehicle. Therefore, it is necessary to match the target transaction voucher information corresponding to the target parking order information from the multiple stored transaction voucher information.

[0045] S160, sending the target transaction voucher information to the settlement platform for verification by the settlement platform.

[0046] After the settlement platform 20 has cancelled the payment, the settlement platform 20 or the operation center 12 or the parking lot billing system will generate a payment notice and notify the car owner of the payment result. RSU11 generates transaction voucher information as a false deduction; when the vehicle leaves the parking space, the parking lot billing system generates target parking order information, and the settlement platform 20 cancels the target transaction voucher information sent by the operation center 12 and corresponding to the target parking order information before it occurs. This can avoid the payment logic of making real deductions when the vehicle is still in the parking space, which is contrary to the car owner's usual payment logic. Therefore, the above settings are conducive to the promotion and use of the ETC city payment assistance system 1 and the ETC city payment assistance platform 10.

[0047] The embodiment of the present application can generate transaction voucher information for the target vehicle through S110~S130, and the transaction voucher information is false payment information and will not generate real deductions. In addition, through S140~S160, the target parking order information sent by the parking lot billing system can be received, and the transaction voucher information consistent with the parking fee information of the target parking order information can be searched, and the found transaction voucher information can be sent to the settlement platform 20 for verification to complete the deduction of parking fees and generate real payments, thereby improving the payment rate of parking lot vehicles while ensuring the smooth promotion of the ETC city payment assistance platform.

[0048] It should be pointed out that the execution steps of S110~S130 in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by any RSU11 set in the urban transportation network. As long as the target vehicle passes through RSU11, RSU11 can generate a transaction flow certificate for it, rather than just the RSU in the parking lot corresponding to the parking lot billing system. Therefore, the application scope of the embodiment of the present application is wider; the execution steps of S140~S160 can be executed by the operation center 12 installed at any location that can communicate with RSU11 and the settlement center 12, rather than just the computer or server in the parking lot corresponding to the parking lot billing system.

[0049] When determining that the preset amount information is multiple amount information, it is necessary to consider the time limit of the communication distance of RSU11 on the generation of the transaction flow voucher. Therefore, the multiple preset amount information can be sorted according to the probability that the preset amount information is the real deduction information of the target vehicle to avoid the loss of parking lot funds. Specifically, Figure 1 Step S120 is further defined as S122, Figure 1 Step S130 is further defined as S132.

[0050] S120 includes a sub-step: S122, acquiring a plurality of preset amount information corresponding to the target vehicle from the pre-stored parking amount information, the plurality of preset amount information including a plurality of amount information arranged in a preset order.

[0051] S130 includes sub-steps: S132, based on the microwave communication connection, generating multiple transaction voucher information corresponding to the target vehicle in sequence according to multiple preset amount information in a preset order, and the multiple transaction voucher information respectively corresponds to the multiple preset amount information.

[0052] When the target vehicle has no historical parking data in the parking metering system, a set of amount information set in a regular order can be selected, for example, 3 yuan, 5 yuan, 8 yuan, and 10 yuan.

[0053] When the target vehicle has historical parking data in the parking metering system, for example, the target vehicle often parks in the parking lot, and the parking fee is 5 yuan 10 times, 3 yuan 4 times, 10 yuan, and 8 yuan 0 times, then the ETC city payment assistance platform 10 obtains multiple preset amount information corresponding to the target vehicle and arranges them in the order of 5 yuan, 3 yuan, and 10 yuan, to avoid the situation where the target vehicle still has a parking fee of 5 yuan, but the ETC city payment assistance platform 10 fails to generate the transaction voucher information corresponding to 5 yuan in time, resulting in the loss of funds of the parking lot.

[0054] When the target vehicle has historical parking data in the parking fee charging system, the arrangement order of multiple preset amount information can be flexibly set according to the consumption of the transaction voucher information corresponding to the target vehicle. Figure 4 The ETC city payment assistance method includes: S110, identifying the microwave signal, and establishing a microwave communication connection with the target vehicle transmitting the microwave signal.

[0055] S122, acquiring a plurality of preset amount information corresponding to the target vehicle from the pre-stored parking amount information, wherein the plurality of preset amount information includes a plurality of amount information arranged in a preset order.

[0056] S131, determine whether there is transaction voucher information corresponding to the target vehicle; if there is no transaction voucher information corresponding to the target vehicle, jump to S132 and execute S132; if there is transaction voucher information corresponding to the target vehicle, jump to S133 and execute S133~S137.

[0057] S132, based on the microwave communication connection, generate multiple transaction voucher information corresponding to the target vehicle in sequence according to multiple preset amount information in a preset order, the multiple preset amount information includes multiple amount information arranged in a preset order, and the multiple transaction voucher information respectively corresponds to the multiple preset amount information; after executing S132, jump to S140 and execute S140~S160.

[0058] S133, obtaining existing stored transaction voucher information corresponding to the target vehicle.

[0059] S134, determining the stored amount information of the stored transaction voucher information.

[0060] For example, the ETC city payment assistance platform 10 generated a transaction voucher of 5 yuan, a transaction voucher of 3 yuan, and a transaction voucher of 10 yuan for the target vehicle last time; and the parking fee consumed by the target vehicle is 3 yuan, then the transaction voucher information stored in the ETC city payment assistance platform 10 is a transaction voucher of 5 yuan and a transaction voucher of 10 yuan.

[0061] S135, determining the amount information that is inconsistent with the stored amount information among the plurality of preset amount information as the first amount information to be written.

[0062] For example, if the preset amount information is a transaction voucher of 3 yuan, a transaction voucher of 5 yuan and a transaction voucher of 10 yuan, then when the stored transaction voucher information is a transaction voucher of 5 yuan and a transaction voucher of 10 yuan, it can be determined that the transaction voucher of 3 yuan consumed last time is the first amount information to be written.

[0063] S136, determining the amount information consistent with the stored amount information among the plurality of preset amount information as the second amount information to be written.

[0064] Furthermore, the 5 yuan transaction voucher and the 10 yuan transaction voucher can be determined as the second amount information to be written, so as to overwrite the existing 5 yuan transaction voucher and the 10 yuan transaction voucher, thereby achieving the purpose of updating the date of the existing transaction vouchers corresponding to the existing amount information, and avoiding as much as possible the situation where the 5 yuan transaction voucher or the 10 yuan transaction voucher is an expired voucher when it is needed.

[0065] S137, based on the microwave communication connection, generate transaction voucher information corresponding to the target vehicle according to the first amount information to be written and the second amount information to be written, and the transaction voucher information corresponding to the first generation of the amount information to be written is generated before the transaction voucher information corresponding to the second generation of the amount information to be written. After executing S133 to S137, jump to S140 and execute S140 to S160.

[0066] Limited by the communication range of RSU11, the vehicle may move after entering the parking lot. Therefore, RSU11 can communicate with the target vehicle only for a short period of time and generate transaction vouchers during communication. Therefore, in order to ensure the generation of high-frequency used transaction vouchers, it is necessary to give priority to generating the transaction voucher information corresponding to the first-generation written amount information, and then write the transaction voucher information corresponding to the second-generation written amount information, so as to reduce the capital loss of the parking lot.

[0067] S140, receiving target parking order information sent by the parking lot billing system, where the target parking order information includes target parking amount information and target parking vehicle information.

[0068] S150, matching the target transaction voucher information corresponding to the target parking order information according to the target parking amount information and the target parking vehicle information.

[0069] S160, sending the target transaction voucher information to the settlement platform for verification by the settlement platform.

[0070] The embodiment of the present application takes into account the communication distance of the shortwave communication of RSU11 and the time limit for generating the transaction voucher. By setting multiple preset amount information including multiple amount information arranged in a preset order, and sequentially generating multiple transaction voucher information corresponding to the target vehicle according to the multiple preset amount information in the preset order, the amount information with high priority can be processed in time to generate the corresponding transaction voucher information. Among them, the priority setting of the amount information can use a group of amount information set in a regular order; it can also refer to the historical parking data of the target vehicle, and use the frequency of occurrence of parking fees in historical parking as the priority setting standard of the amount information; it can also determine the amount information corresponding to the last consumed transaction voucher as the highest priority.

[0071] When using multiple transaction vouchers, there may be a situation where the amount on the transaction voucher does not match the actual amount. For example, the marked parking amount information of the target parking order information is 8 yuan, that is, the actual parking fee is 8 yuan. However, the ETC city payment voucher 10 only has a transaction voucher of 3 yuan, a transaction voucher of 5 yuan and a transaction voucher of 10 yuan, and no transaction voucher of 8 yuan is generated and saved. At this time, the transaction voucher of 3 yuan and the transaction voucher of 5 yuan can be combined and sent together to the settlement platform 20 for verification.

[0072] Specifically, please refer to Figure 5 ,like Figure 5 The ETC city payment methods shown include: S110, identifying the microwave signal and establishing a microwave communication connection with the target vehicle transmitting the microwave signal; S121, determine whether there is any arrears record information corresponding to the target vehicle; if there is no arrears record information corresponding to the target vehicle, jump to S122 and execute S122; if there is any arrears record information corresponding to the target vehicle, jump to S123 and execute S123.

[0073] S122, obtaining a plurality of preset amount information corresponding to the target vehicle from the pre-stored parking amount information; after executing S122, jumping to S130.

[0074] S123, determine the preset amount information corresponding to the current target vehicle according to the amount information corresponding to the arrears record information; after executing S123, jump to S130.

[0075] S130, based on the microwave communication connection, generating transaction voucher information corresponding to the target vehicle according to the preset amount information.

[0076] S140, receiving target parking order information sent by the parking lot billing system, where the target parking order information includes target parking amount information and target parking vehicle information.

[0077] S151, determine whether there is transaction voucher information whose amount information is consistent with the target parking amount information; if there is transaction voucher information whose amount information is consistent with the target parking amount information, jump to S152; if there is no transaction voucher information whose amount information is consistent with the target parking amount information, jump to S153 and execute S153~S154.

[0078] For example, the parking amount information of the target parking order information is 8 yuan. At this time, it is first determined whether there is a transaction voucher of 8 yuan on the ETC city payment assistance platform 10; if so, jump to S152 and send the transaction voucher of 8 yuan to the settlement platform 20 for verification; if there is only a transaction voucher of 3 yuan, a transaction voucher of 5 yuan and a transaction voucher of 10 yuan on the ETC city payment assistance 10, and no transaction voucher of 8 yuan is generated and saved, at this time, it can jump to S153, and the transaction voucher of 3 yuan and the transaction voucher of 5 yuan can be combined and sent together to the settlement platform 20 for verification.

[0079] S152, determining the transaction voucher information whose amount information is consistent with the target parking amount information as the target transaction voucher information; after executing S152, jump to S160.

[0080] S153, combining multiple pieces of transaction voucher information to obtain multiple pieces of combined transaction voucher information.

[0081] S154, determine whether there is any combination transaction voucher information whose amount information is consistent with the target parking amount information among the multiple combination transaction voucher information; if there is any combination transaction voucher information whose amount information is consistent with the target parking amount information among the multiple combination transaction voucher information, jump to S155; if there is no combination transaction voucher information whose amount information is consistent with the target parking amount information among the multiple combination transaction voucher information, jump to S170.

[0082] In a few cases, the combined transaction voucher may still be inconsistent with the target parking amount information. Therefore, it is necessary to first determine whether there is a combined transaction voucher information whose amount information is consistent with the target parking amount information among the multiple combined transaction voucher information. For example, if multiple transaction voucher information are respectively a transaction voucher of 3 yuan, a transaction voucher of 5 yuan and a transaction voucher of 8 yuan, then the transaction voucher of 3 yuan and the transaction voucher of 5 yuan are combined to obtain the combined transaction voucher information of 8 yuan, the transaction voucher of 5 yuan and the transaction voucher of 8 yuan are combined to obtain the combined transaction voucher information of 13 yuan, and the transaction voucher of 3 yuan and the transaction voucher of 8 yuan are combined to obtain the combined transaction voucher information of 11 yuan... Afterwards, when the target parking amount information is 11 yuan, it is found that the combined transaction voucher information of 11 yuan can be combined, then jump to S155, and send the combined transaction voucher information of 11 yuan to the settlement platform 20 for verification. When the target parking amount information is 12 yuan, it is found that the combined transaction voucher information of 12 yuan has not yet been combined. At this time, it is necessary to jump to S170 to put the parking fee of the target vehicle on account.

[0083] S155, determining the combined transaction voucher information that is consistent with the target parking amount information among the multiple combined transaction voucher information as the target transaction voucher information. After executing S155, jump to S160.

[0084] S160, sending the target transaction voucher information to the settlement platform for verification by the settlement platform. After S160 is executed, the process ends.

[0085] S170, generating arrears record information corresponding to the target vehicle according to the target parking amount information of the target parking order information. After executing S170, the process ends.

[0086] Therefore, after the RSSU11 of the ETC city payment assistance platform 10 establishes a communication connection with the target vehicle, it is necessary to execute S123 to determine the preset amount information corresponding to the current target vehicle based on the amount information corresponding to the arrears record information, and pay off the last parking arrears in time to avoid the loss of funds for the last parking fee of the target vehicle.

[0087] For example, the ETC city payment assistance platform 10 stores the arrears record information of the target vehicle's 12 yuan parking fee. After RSSU11 establishes a communication connection with the target vehicle, the ETC city payment assistance platform 10 first executes S123 to read the arrears record information of the 12 yuan parking fee. Then, the ETC city payment assistance platform 10 generates a transaction voucher based on the arrears record information. Furthermore, the ETC city payment assistance platform 10 can also execute S122 to determine the preset amount information based on the arrears record information, and then determine the preset amount information for a second time, and generate transaction voucher information based on the preset amount information determined for the second time. The preset amount information determined for the second time can avoid the loss of funds for the parking fee of the target vehicle.

[0088] The embodiment of the present application sets combined transaction voucher information to accurately cover the actual parking fee of the target vehicle, thereby avoiding the situation where there is a large discrepancy between the transaction amount on the transaction voucher information used in the settlement platform 20 for settlement and the actual parking fee of the target vehicle; further, considering the situation where the amount information of the combined transaction voucher information is still inconsistent with the actual parking fee of the target vehicle, the parking fee of the target vehicle through this S170 can be put on account, and transaction voucher information consistent with the arrears record information in this S170 can be generated in the next S123 to settle the account in time.

[0089] When the transaction voucher information generated by RSU11 is sent to the settlement platform 20 for verification, the settlement platform 20 will check whether the transaction voucher is a voucher within the available date range. For example, the validity period of the transaction voucher is within three days from the date of generation of the transaction voucher. When the transaction voucher that has exceeded the validity period is verified to deduct the parking fee of the target vehicle, the settlement platform 20 cannot complete the deduction of the parking fee of the target vehicle.

[0090] Therefore, when the transaction voucher information includes expiration information, it is necessary to complete the clearing of expired transaction voucher information in the ETC city payment assistance platform 10. Figure 6 ,like Figure 6 The ETC city payment method shown includes the following steps: S110, identifying the microwave signal, and establishing a microwave communication connection with the target vehicle transmitting the microwave signal.

[0091] S120, determining the preset amount information corresponding to the target vehicle.

[0092] S130, based on the microwave communication connection, generating transaction voucher information corresponding to the target vehicle according to the preset amount information.

[0093] S138, save the generated transaction voucher information.

[0094] S140, receiving target parking order information sent by the parking lot billing system, where the target parking order information includes target parking amount information and target parking vehicle information.

[0095] S150, matching the target transaction voucher information corresponding to the target parking order information according to the target parking amount information and the target parking vehicle information.

[0096] S160, sending the target transaction voucher information to the settlement platform for verification by the settlement platform.

[0097] S181, clearing the target transaction voucher information from the saved transaction voucher information.

[0098] The used target transaction voucher information is cleaned up through S180 to avoid the ETC city payment assistance platform 10 sending the same target transaction voucher information to the settlement platform 20 for verification twice, resulting in the settlement platform 20 being unable to deduct the target vehicle parking fee in time.

[0099] S182, reading the expiration information of the saved transaction voucher information.

[0100] Furthermore, the ETC city payment assistance platform 10 needs to regularly clean up unused but expired transaction voucher information in a timely manner, for example, at intervals of 3 days.

[0101] S183, clearing the saved transaction voucher information according to the deadline information.

[0102] The embodiment of the present application cleans up the saved transaction voucher information according to the time limit information to prevent the ETC city payment assistance platform 10 from sending expired transaction voucher information to the settlement platform 20 for cancellation.
