Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of intelligent transportation technology, specifically relating to a method and system for investigating toll evasion by vehicles on highways based on multi-source data fusion. Background Art

[0002] The statements in this section are merely background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Highways are multi-lane roads specifically designed for vehicles to travel in separate directions and with fully controlled access. Due to their high construction and management costs, toll collection is generally based on factors such as travel distance and bridge / tunnel conditions. Currently, with the increasing prevalence of non-stop toll collection, toll evasion on highways is becoming more frequent.

[0004] Currently, the main methods of highway toll evasion include changing the vehicle type for billing, inconsistent entry and exit information, card swapping, inconsistent license plates at entry and exit, inconsistent billing and license plate recognition paths, inconsistent vehicle type at entry and exit, abnormal license plates for large vehicles with small labels, abnormal number of axles for large vehicles with small labels, abnormal vehicle type for large vehicles with small labels, malicious U / J-shaped driving, no cameras throughout the journey, exceeding the time limit, and charging under-the-table charges.

[0005] Current methods for detecting toll evasion on highways involve manual analysis by inspectors to identify suspected evaders, followed by manual verification. However, this manual approach requires significant manpower and is inefficient. Furthermore, existing toll evasion detection methods rely on a single data source and are unable to adapt to dynamic changes in weather, vehicle type, and road conditions within fixed time thresholds. They lack multi-dimensional spatiotemporal correlation analysis, resulting in low accuracy in identifying toll evasion. Therefore, how to effectively detect toll evasion through technological means to maintain the normal and orderly operation of highway toll collection is a crucial issue that deserves attention. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes a method and system for investigating toll evasion by vehicles on highways based on multi-source data fusion. By acquiring the time of a vehicle's entry and exit from the highway, vehicle type characteristics, and license plate information, and combining this with vehicle gantry information obtained on the highway, the system makes a comprehensive judgment based on the acquired information to determine whether the vehicle exhibits toll evasion behaviors such as abnormal routes. This method accurately and efficiently identifies potential toll evasion by vehicles on highways, thereby protecting the rights and interests of highway toll collectors.

[0007] According to some embodiments, the first solution of the present invention provides a method for investigating highway toll evasion based on multi-source data fusion, which adopts the following technical solution: A method for detecting toll evasion on highways based on multi-source data fusion includes: Obtain the timestamps and vehicle characteristic information of vehicles entering and exiting highways; Based on the obtained timestamp, the actual dynamic driving time of the vehicle on the highway is obtained. When the actual dynamic driving time exceeds the dynamic driving time threshold, the vehicle has a potential toll evasion phenomenon. Otherwise, the potential toll evasion phenomenon of the vehicle is determined by obtaining the path gantry information of the vehicle during its journey on the highway. If the obtained route gantry information is missing, the vehicle may be suspected of evading tolls; otherwise, the vehicle may be suspected of evading tolls based on the obtained vehicle characteristic information. When the vehicle characteristic information obtained does not match when entering and exiting the highway, it is determined that the vehicle has a potential toll evasion problem, and the highway toll evasion investigation based on multi-source data fusion is completed.

[0008] As a further technical limitation, the potential toll evasion phenomena of the vehicle include abnormal travel time, vehicle information mismatch, and missing route gantry information; the abnormal travel time includes J-type toll evasion, traveling long distances to buy short-distance tickets, and no card at the exit; the vehicle information mismatch includes trailer swapping and large vehicles with small labels; the missing route gantry information includes obscured On-Board Unit (OBU) information and reversed CPC (Civil Service Combination Toll Card) cards.

[0009] As a further technical limitation, the process for obtaining the dynamic driving time threshold is as follows: Obtain historical and current traffic data for the target road segment; Key features affecting travel time are extracted based on the acquired historical traffic data; Based on the extracted key features, construct a target road segment traffic sub-model for each key feature; Select the target road segment traffic sub-model based on the acquired current traffic data; The dynamic driving time threshold is calculated by combining the selected target road segment traffic sub-model.

[0010] As a further technical limitation, in the process of determining whether a vehicle has potential toll evasion by acquiring the path gantry information during its highway travel, the number of missing path gantry information is detected in real time. When the number of consecutively missing path gantry information is less than a preset value, a trajectory spatiotemporal reconstruction mechanism is automatically triggered. A time window constraint is constructed by combining the passage timestamps of adjacent path gantry information with the highway design speed. A hidden Markov model is adopted, defining the hidden state set as the actual gantry nodes and their virtual topological connection states. A spatiotemporal transition probability matrix is ​​introduced, and the state transition weights are determined by the gantry spacing and the vehicle's speed. The system dynamically calculates and generates average vehicle speeds; it generates a set of candidate virtual gantries based on road network topology connectivity, and performs spatiotemporal verification by combining the passage time intervals between adjacent gantries; it constructs a Bayesian inference network, and performs multi-dimensional probability calculations by integrating vehicle historical route preferences, real-time traffic conditions, and time series data; it outputs the top N high-confidence trajectory hypotheses, with each path accompanied by a spatiotemporal matching degree evaluation value, and generates a path reconstruction credibility analysis report including time dimension verification; when the number of missing gantries on a path is detected to be no less than a preset value and the spatiotemporal deviation rate between the derived path and the shortest toll path exceeds a set value, the system automatically activates toll evasion investigation.

[0011] As a further technical limitation, in the process of determining whether a vehicle has the potential toll evasion based on the acquired vehicle feature information, vehicle feature information is collected when the vehicle enters and exits the highway, and the number of vehicle axles is detected in real time. The number of vehicle axles obtained by the gantries along the route is retrieved simultaneously, and a multi-stage verification method is used to match the vehicle feature information in order to determine whether the vehicle has the potential toll evasion.

[0012] As a further technical limitation, the actual dynamic driving time of the vehicle on the highway is the time difference between the timestamp of the vehicle leaving the highway and the timestamp of the vehicle entering the highway.

[0013] According to some embodiments, the second aspect of the present invention provides a highway vehicle toll evasion detection system based on multi-source data fusion, employing the following technical solution: A highway toll evasion detection system based on multi-source data fusion includes: The acquisition module is configured to acquire timestamps and vehicle characteristic information of vehicles entering and exiting highways; The judgment module is configured to obtain the actual dynamic driving time of a vehicle on the highway based on the acquired timestamp. If the actual dynamic driving time exceeds the dynamic driving time threshold, the vehicle is suspected of potential toll evasion. Otherwise, the module determines whether the vehicle is suspected of potential toll evasion by acquiring the path gantry information of the vehicle during its highway journey. If the acquired path gantry information is missing, the vehicle is suspected of potential toll evasion. Otherwise, the module determines whether the vehicle is suspected of potential toll evasion based on the acquired vehicle feature information. If the acquired vehicle feature information for entering and exiting the highway does not match, the module determines that the vehicle is suspected of potential toll evasion, thus completing the highway vehicle toll evasion inspection based on multi-source data fusion.

[0014] According to some embodiments, a third aspect of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium, employing the following technical solution: A computer-readable storage medium having a program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the highway vehicle toll evasion investigation method based on multi-source data fusion as described in the first aspect of the present invention.

[0015] According to some embodiments, the fourth aspect of the present invention provides an electronic device, which adopts the following technical solution: An electronic device includes a memory, a processor, and a program stored in the memory and running on the processor. When the processor executes the program, it implements the steps in the highway vehicle toll evasion investigation method based on multi-source data fusion as described in the first aspect of the present invention.

[0016] According to some embodiments, the fifth aspect of the present invention provides a computer program product, which adopts the following technical solution: A computer program product includes software code, wherein the program in the software code performs the steps of the highway vehicle toll evasion investigation method based on multi-source data fusion as described in the first aspect of the present invention.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This invention obtains information such as the time a vehicle enters or exits the highway, vehicle type characteristics, and license plate information. Combined with vehicle gantry information obtained on the highway, it makes a comprehensive judgment based on the obtained information to determine whether the vehicle is engaging in toll evasion behaviors such as abnormal routes. By using the vehicle's diverse information, it can accurately and efficiently identify potential toll evasion behaviors and protect the toll collection rights of highways.

[0025] Where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0026] Example 1 Embodiment 1 of this invention introduces a method for investigating toll evasion by vehicles on highways based on multi-source data fusion.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The method for detecting toll evasion on highways based on multi-source data fusion, as shown, includes: Obtain the timestamps and vehicle characteristic information of vehicles entering and exiting highways; Based on the obtained timestamp, the actual dynamic driving time of the vehicle on the highway is obtained. When the actual dynamic driving time exceeds the dynamic driving time threshold, the vehicle has a potential toll evasion phenomenon. Otherwise, the potential toll evasion phenomenon of the vehicle is determined by obtaining the path gantry information of the vehicle during its journey on the highway. If the obtained route gantry information is missing, the vehicle may be suspected of evading tolls; otherwise, the vehicle may be suspected of evading tolls based on the obtained vehicle characteristic information. When the vehicle characteristic information obtained does not match when entering and exiting the highway, it is determined that the vehicle has a potential toll evasion problem, and the highway toll evasion investigation based on multi-source data fusion is completed.

[0028] like Figure 3 The types of toll evasion on highways shown include potential toll evasion phenomena such as abnormal travel time, vehicle information mismatch, and missing route gantry information; abnormal travel time includes J-type toll evasion, traveling long distances to buy short distances, and no card at the exit; vehicle information mismatch includes trailer swapping and large vehicles with small labels; missing route gantry information includes OBU information obscured and CPC card swapping.

[0029] like Figure 4 The flowchart shown is for calculating vehicle travel time. It is applicable to calculating the time taken for a vehicle to travel from entering the highway to exiting the highway, and specifically includes the following steps: S310: When a vehicle passes through a highway entrance toll station, if it is a manual toll lane, the staff will record the vehicle's entry timestamp through the system while the vehicle receives the toll card; if it is an ETC lane, the electronic tag on the vehicle communicates with the lane equipment, and the equipment automatically records the time the vehicle passes through the entrance. S320: When a vehicle arrives at the highway exit toll station, there will also be a corresponding recording operation. In the manual toll lane, the staff will record the time the vehicle arrives at the exit in the system based on the vehicle's toll card information and calculate the travel time; for the ETC lane, the system will automatically identify the vehicle's electronic tag, record the timestamp of the vehicle passing through the exit, and compare it with the entry time for calculation. S330: The system calculates the vehicle's travel time on the highway by subtracting the entry time from the exit time. It compares the actual travel time with the estimated time. If the difference is within a set threshold, the data is considered normal, and billing or processing is performed as usual. If the difference exceeds the threshold, an exception handling procedure is initiated.

[0030] like Figure 5 The illustrated calculation process for the dynamic threshold of the longest vehicle travel time is applicable to calculating dynamic time thresholds for different road segments and scenarios. It specifically includes the following steps: S410: Obtain historical traffic data for the target road segment, including vehicle travel time, traffic flow, weather conditions, and time period information; clean the data, remove outliers and missing values, and perform standardization processing. S420: Based on historical data, key features affecting travel time are extracted, distinguishing between morning peak, evening peak, and off-peak periods. The average vehicle speed for each time period is calculated, severe weather levels are defined, and their attenuation coefficients on vehicle speed are quantified. The travel time distribution patterns of different vehicle types are analyzed by classifying them as passenger cars / freight cars and ETC / CPC users. The importance of features is evaluated through the XGBoost algorithm, and a general prediction model based on XGBoost covers 80% of common scenarios. S430: Adjust model parameters based on current traffic conditions and combine historical data. If the current rainfall is detected to reach the level of a rainstorm, automatically switch to the severe weather sub-model and increase the weather weight. When a sudden accident occurs on the road segment, real-time queue length data is introduced, the "accident impact coefficient" is temporarily added, the maximum travel time threshold of the road segment is appropriately increased, and the normal, Poisson, or Weiber distribution of travel time under different scenarios is fitted. The 95th percentile time value of the probability distribution is taken as the reference value for the longest travel time of the road segment.

[0031] like Figure 6 The flowchart shown is for vehicle trajectory reconstruction and is applicable when vehicle gantry information is incomplete. It includes the following steps: S510: Dynamic gantry missing detection, based on the target vehicle's ETC gantry passage records, detects the number of missing gantries in real time. When the number of consecutive missing gantries is less than... At that time, the system automatically triggers the trajectory spatiotemporal reconstruction mechanism, and constructs a time window constraint by combining the passage timestamps of adjacent gantry and the road design speed; Missing gantry The calculation method is as follows: calculate the gantry density (number of gantry / km) based on the road segment length and the total number of gantry. Divide the density into three intervals: low density (<0.2 gantry / km), medium density (0.2-0.5 gantry / km), and high density (>0.5 gantry / km), and assign them weight coefficients of 0.7, 0.5, and 0.3 respectively. The failure frequency of the gantry equipment on this section of the road over the past month was statistically analyzed. If the failure rate was less than 2%, a correction factor of 0.9 was applied; if it was between 2% and 5%, a correction factor of 1.0 was applied; and if it was greater than 5%, a correction factor of 1.1 was applied. Considering the different requirements for gantry information in simple and complex road sections, in ordinary road sections, the gantry layout is relatively sparse. Even if a certain proportion of gantries are missing, such as 20%-30%, the system can still roughly deduce the trajectory based on the remaining gantry information and general vehicle movement patterns. In complex road sections, the dependence on gantry information is extremely high. Even a 5%-10% or less missing gantry can make trajectory determination difficult. Taking all factors into consideration, 10% is chosen as the baseline proportion for missing gantry information. This is calculated using the formula: "Proportion Threshold = Road Section Gantry Density Weight × Historical Equipment Failure Rate Correction Coefficient × 10%". The percentage threshold is multiplied by the total number of gantries in the road section, and the result is rounded up. S520: Multimodal path reasoning modeling: Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is adopted, and the hidden state set is defined as the actual gantry nodes (G1, G2, ..., Gn) and their virtual topological connection states. A spatiotemporal transition probability matrix is ​​introduced, in which the state transition weights are dynamically calculated and generated by the gantry spacing and the average vehicle speed. S530: Intelligent Route Reconstruction Engine: Innovatively embeds a dynamic interpolation mechanism for virtual nodes into the traditional Viterbi algorithm framework. It generates a set of candidate virtual gantries based on road network topology connectivity, and performs spatiotemporal verification by combining the passage time intervals between adjacent gantries; it constructs a Bayesian inference network, comprehensively considering vehicle historical route preferences, real-time traffic conditions, and time-series data for multi-dimensional probability calculation; it outputs the top N (N≥3) high-confidence trajectory hypotheses, each path accompanied by a spatiotemporal matching degree evaluation value (0-1 interval), generating a route reconstruction credibility analysis report including time-dimensional verification. S540: When the system detects that the number of missing gantry frames is ≥ Furthermore, when the spatiotemporal deviation rate between the derived path and the shortest toll-based path exceeds 15%, the toll evasion detection module is automatically activated. Through multi-feature fusion decision-making, including the path spatiotemporal anomaly index (reconstructed based on gantry passage time series), license plate feature cross-gantry similarity (SSIM≥0.85), and service area dwell time anomaly detection (compared with historical data of similar vehicle types), accurate identification of toll evasion behavior caused by OBU signal obstruction is achieved, forming a complete chain of evidence for investigation.

[0032] like Figure 7 The flowchart shown is applicable to matching export vehicle information and includes the following steps: S610: When a vehicle enters the highway, it collects vehicle feature information through a multispectral high-definition camera (resolution ≥ 8 million pixels, frame rate 60fps) deployed at the entrance, uses an improved YOLOv8 model to detect the number of vehicle axles in real time, and performs cross-verification by combining wheel ground pressure distribution data. S620: Encrypts data such as the number of axles, vehicle 3D contour, license plate information, and vehicle type classification and writes it into the OBU device and the provincial data center to form an unalterable feature vector group. When a vehicle exits the highway, it obtains the entry binding data in real time through V2X communication and simultaneously retrieves the axle number change information recorded by the gantries along the route. S630: Employs a multi-stage verification algorithm to automatically associate data such as service area surveillance video clips, ETC transaction records, and mobile signaling trajectories to construct a complete chain of evidence that includes spatiotemporal features, physical features, and behavioral features; S640: If the weighing and axle count at the exit do not match the information at the entrance, the system will automatically initiate a second weighing and retrieve data from the three adjacent gantry frames for local path analysis.

[0033] This embodiment obtains the time of vehicle entry and exit from the highway, vehicle type characteristics, and license plate information, and combines this with vehicle gantry information obtained on the highway. Based on the obtained information, it makes a comprehensive judgment on whether the vehicle has any toll evasion behavior such as abnormal route. It accurately and efficiently identifies potential toll evasion behavior based on the vehicle's diverse information, thus protecting the toll collection rights of the highway.

If the actual dynamic driving time exceeds the dynamic driving time threshold, the vehicle is suspected of potential toll evasion. Otherwise, the module determines whether the vehicle is suspected of potential toll evasion by acquiring the path gantry information of the vehicle during its highway journey. If the acquired path gantry information is missing, the vehicle is suspected of potential toll evasion. Otherwise, the module determines whether the vehicle is suspected of potential toll evasion based on the acquired vehicle feature information. If the acquired vehicle feature information for entering and exiting the highway does not match, the module determines that the vehicle is suspected of potential toll evasion, thus completing the highway vehicle toll evasion inspection based on multi-source data fusion.

A multi-stage verification method is used to match the vehicle feature information in order to determine whether the vehicle has the potential toll evasion.

6. The method for investigating highway toll evasion based on multi-source data fusion as described in claim 1, characterized in that, The actual dynamic driving time of the vehicle on the highway is the time difference between the timestamp of the vehicle leaving the highway and the timestamp of the vehicle entering the highway.

7. A highway toll evasion detection system based on multi-source data fusion, characterized in that, include: The acquisition module is configured to acquire timestamps and vehicle characteristic information of vehicles entering and exiting highways; The judgment module is configured to obtain the actual dynamic driving time of a vehicle on the highway based on the acquired timestamp. If the actual dynamic driving time exceeds the dynamic driving time threshold, the vehicle is suspected of potential toll evasion. Otherwise, the module determines whether the vehicle is suspected of potential toll evasion by acquiring the path gantry information of the vehicle during its highway journey. If the acquired path gantry information is missing, the vehicle is suspected of potential toll evasion. Otherwise, the module determines whether the vehicle is suspected of potential toll evasion based on the acquired vehicle feature information. If the acquired vehicle feature information for entering and exiting the highway does not match, the module determines that the vehicle is suspected of potential toll evasion, thus completing the highway vehicle toll evasion inspection based on multi-source data fusion.

8. A computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, characterized in that, When the program is executed by the processor, it implements the steps of the highway vehicle toll evasion investigation method based on multi-source data fusion as described in any one of claims 1-6.
