[0029] Embodiment one

[0030] Figure 1 A flowchart of a highway toll station fast card issuing method provided by the embodiment one of the application is shown in the figure. The method can be applied to the case of fast card issuing for vehicles at a highway toll station. The method can be executed by a highway toll station fast card issuing device which can be realized in the form of hardware and / or software and is generally integrated in a toll terminal.

[0031] As Figure 1 shown, the highway toll station fast card issuing method provided by the embodiment one can specifically include the following steps:

[0032] S101, when a current vehicle drives to the island head of a toll lane safety island, receiving vehicle information recognized by a vehicle type license plate recognition device for the current vehicle.

[0033] The CPC card is a core intelligent card medium for recording vehicle pass information and supporting nationwide highway network toll collection. It realizes full-trip data storage and interaction of vehicles from the entrance to the exit through the built-in chip and antenna, and is a key carrier for replacing traditional paper passes and guaranteeing efficient cooperation between electronic non-stop toll collection (ETC) and manual toll collection (MTC) modes. In order to solve the problem of low efficiency of single-lane vehicle queuing to send CPC cards, the highway emergency toll terminal is used in the embodiment in combination with the data of the toll lane island head vehicle type recognition device or license plate recognition device to realize fast multi-vehicle card issuing function, thereby improving the pass efficiency of the toll station entrance and relieving the peak congestion of the toll station.

[0034] In the prior art, the expressway emergency toll terminal is used for handheld mobile toll service equipment in the scenes of expressway ETC / MTC vehicle transaction, special situation processing and the like. In the embodiment, it is referred to as a toll terminal. A vehicle type recognition device and a license plate recognition device are arranged at the island head of the toll lane safety island. The vehicle type recognition device is used for recognizing the vehicle type of the vehicle entering the island head of the toll lane safety island, and the license plate recognition device is used for recognizing the license plate of the vehicle entering the island head of the toll lane safety island. In the embodiment, the vehicle type recognition device and the license plate recognition device are collectively referred to as a vehicle type and license plate recognition device. Unlike the prior art, the vehicle type and license plate recognition device and the toll terminal are independent of each other, there is no interaction between the two, and the toll terminal is only used in the emergency scene of the expressway, and the toll collector manually issues the CPC card to the vehicle in the emergency scene. In the embodiment, the vehicle type and license plate recognition device and the toll terminal can be linked to support the function of issuing the CPC card to multiple vehicles in the same lane at the same time through data interaction. Through the data interaction and combined application of the two, the passing efficiency of the entrance of the expressway toll station is improved. Thus, the congestion of the toll station during the peak period is relieved.

[0035] The expressway toll station rapid card issuing method provided in the embodiment is executed by the toll terminal. Unlike the prior art, the vehicle arrives at the toll lane barrier, and then the toll lane toll system recognizes the vehicle and issues the CPC card; in the embodiment, when the vehicle drives to the island head of the toll lane safety island, the vehicle type and license plate recognition device at the island head of the toll lane safety island is used to recognize the vehicle type information and the license plate information of the vehicle. The vehicle driving to the island head of the toll lane safety island is referred to as the current vehicle. The vehicle type and license plate recognition device at the island head of the toll lane safety island is used to perform vehicle recognition, license plate recognition, vehicle color recognition, vehicle image shooting and the like when the vehicle passes the island head, and the recognition data is sent to the management background of the toll terminal. The vehicle type information, license plate information, vehicle color and vehicle image of the current vehicle are referred to as the vehicle information of the current vehicle.

[0036] Correspondingly, the front end of the toll terminal obtains the vehicle information of the current vehicle, such as the license plate number, the license plate color, the vehicle type and the vehicle image, through the management background.

[0037] S102, receiving a trigger operation of a user on the rapid card issuing function, and displaying a vehicle information interface containing the vehicle information of the current vehicle.

[0038] Specifically, when the user (i.e. the toll collector) wants to issue the CPC card to the current vehicle, the user clicks to enter the rapid card issuing function, which is equivalent to that the toll terminal receives the trigger operation of the user on the rapid card issuing function. The toll terminal will display an interface related to the vehicle information, which is referred to as a vehicle information interface. The vehicle information interface will display the license plate, vehicle image and the like information of the vehicle that has entered the lane but has not completed the transaction, that is, the vehicle information of the current vehicle.

[0039] S103. Receive the user's selection operation of the current vehicle in the vehicle information interface, write the composite pass card to complete the issuance of the composite pass card.

[0040] In this embodiment, the user manually selects the current vehicle for which a CPC card is to be issued in the vehicle information interface. The toll terminal receives the user's selection operation, for example, by clicking on the license plate image of the current vehicle. The toll terminal automatically obtains the license plate information and vehicle model information of the current vehicle. After the user confirms, the CPC card can be written and issued quickly.

[0041] Based on the above description, users only need to select the corresponding license plate photo through the toll terminal to output the corresponding CPC card issuance signal, thereby sending the CPC card to the corresponding vehicle. This enables coordinated operation of one lane and multiple toll terminals, supporting simultaneous card issuance to multiple vehicles in the same lane. By issuing CPC cards to multiple vehicles simultaneously, batch issuance of CPC cards is achieved, thereby improving card issuance efficiency and traffic flow efficiency.

[0042] The above technical solution, when a vehicle reaches the safety island of the toll lane, receives vehicle information identified by the vehicle type and license plate recognition device; receives a user's trigger operation for the quick card issuance function, displays a vehicle information interface containing the vehicle's information; receives a user's selection operation for the current vehicle in the vehicle information interface, writes the composite toll card, and completes the issuance of the composite toll card. This technical solution fully utilizes existing equipment in highway toll lanes, combining and linking data from the vehicle type and license plate recognition device with the toll terminal to achieve the function of rapid issuance of composite toll cards through data interaction. It can support the batch issuance of composite toll cards to multiple vehicles traveling in the same lane, improving lane traffic efficiency. It fully utilizes existing equipment at toll stations to achieve this function, achieving the goal of improving efficiency at a relatively low cost.

[0043] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, based on the above embodiments, this optional embodiment can be optimized so that after the issuance of the composite access card is completed, the method further includes:

[0044] When the current vehicle approaches the toll lane barrier, the system provides the lane toll system with the information on the issuance of the vehicle's composite toll card, so that the lane toll system can automatically raise the barrier to allow the vehicle to pass.

[0045] The lane toll collection system is an existing system used for issuing CPC cards to vehicles. Unlike existing technologies where the lane toll collection system and the toll terminal are independent and there is no data interaction between them, in this embodiment, the lane toll collection system and the toll terminal interact. When a vehicle with an issued CPC card arrives at the toll lane barrier, the lane toll collection system queries the toll terminal's management backend to check the vehicle's transaction status. If it confirms that the vehicle has been issued a CPC card, the lane barrier automatically raises to allow passage.

[0046] It should be noted that this embodiment makes full use of the existing equipment in the highway toll lanes and realizes the function of rapid CPC card issuance through data interaction. The rapid issuance of CPC cards is achieved by combining and linking data from vehicle model and license plate devices with emergency toll terminals and lane toll systems.

[0047] The above technical solution achieves automatic passage for vehicles that have already received composite toll cards by linking the lane toll collection system with the toll collection terminal, thereby improving vehicle traffic efficiency.

[0048] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, based on the above embodiments, this optional embodiment can be optimized so that after the issuance of the composite access card is completed, the method further includes:

[0049] a1) Based on the vehicle information of the current vehicle, determine whether the current vehicle is a truck or a special-purpose vehicle.

[0050] In this embodiment, the vehicle information of the current vehicle includes vehicle model information, and the vehicle model information is used to determine whether the current vehicle is a truck or a special-purpose vehicle.

[0051] b1) If so, generate weighing information for the current vehicle that does not exceed the limit.

[0052] Specifically, if the current vehicle is a truck or a special-purpose vehicle, since the toll for trucks or special-purpose vehicles is calculated based on the actual load, it is necessary to automatically generate weighing information indicating that the load is not exceeded.

[0053] c1) If not, then there is no need to generate weight-free information for the current vehicle.

[0054] Specifically, if the current vehicle is not a truck or a special-purpose vehicle, it is not necessary to generate weighing information indicating that the weight has not exceeded the limit.

[0055] The above technical solution adds the ability to determine the vehicle type, distinguishing whether different vehicle types need to generate overload weighing information.

[0056] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, based on the above embodiments, this optional embodiment can be optimized by further comprising, after determining whether the current vehicle is a truck or a special-purpose vehicle based on the vehicle information of the current vehicle, the method further includes:

[0057] Generate the composite pass card entry transaction data or ETC entry transaction data corresponding to the current vehicle.

[0058] In this embodiment, the toll terminal generates entry transaction data related to the current vehicle, facilitating toll payment at the highway exit toll station. If the vehicle uses a CPC card, corresponding CPC card entry transaction data is generated; if the vehicle uses an ETC card, corresponding ETC entry transaction data is generated. The entry transaction data records key information generated when a vehicle uses a CPC card at the highway entrance, including fields such as CPC card number, bound vehicle identifier, entry number, and recording time, used to track card status and travel path.

[0059] The above technical solution adds the function of generating vehicle entry flow data, providing a basis for vehicles to pay highway tolls at highway exit toll stations.

[0060] Example 2

[0061] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating another method for rapid card issuance at highway toll stations provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. This embodiment is a further optimization of the above embodiment. In this embodiment, the limitation of "receiving the user's selection operation of the current vehicle in the vehicle information interface and writing the composite toll card" is further optimized.

[0062] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this embodiment 2 provides a method for rapid card issuance at highway toll stations, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0063] S201. When the current vehicle reaches the head of the safety island in the toll lane, the vehicle information identified by the vehicle type and license plate recognition device is received.

[0064] S202. Receive the user's trigger operation for the quick card issuance function and display the vehicle information interface containing the vehicle information of the current vehicle.

[0065] S203. Receive the user's selection operation of the current vehicle in the vehicle information interface, and display the vehicle information confirmation interface.

[0066] In this embodiment, the user selects the license plate image corresponding to the current vehicle in the vehicle information interface, and the receiving terminal receives the user's selection operation of the current vehicle in the vehicle information and enters the vehicle information confirmation interface.

[0067] S204. Receive the user's information confirmation operation or information correction operation on the vehicle information confirmation interface, and determine the license plate information and vehicle model information of the current vehicle.

[0068] In this embodiment, the user confirms the vehicle information of the current vehicle displayed on the vehicle information confirmation interface. The toll terminal receives the user's information confirmation operation on the vehicle information confirmation interface and automatically fills in the license plate information and vehicle model information of the current vehicle.

[0069] Considering that vehicle model and license plate recognition equipment may produce incorrect recognition information due to environmental factors, lighting conditions, etc., manual correction is required to ensure accuracy. When vehicle model and license plate recognition data is abnormal, manual verification is performed on-site, and vehicle information is manually updated based on the actual vehicle situation. Users correct the vehicle information displayed on the vehicle information confirmation interface, and the toll terminal receives these corrections and automatically fills in the license plate and vehicle model information.

[0070] S205. Write the composite access card according to the license plate information and vehicle model information of the current vehicle.

[0071] Specifically, the CPC card is written based on the vehicle's license plate and model information. CPC card writing refers to the process of activating the CPC card, which records the vehicle's entry information and supports subsequent billing.

[0072] The above technical solution specifies the steps for writing the composite toll card after receiving the user's selection of the current vehicle in the vehicle information interface. By utilizing the highway emergency toll terminal and combining the data from the vehicle type recognition equipment or license plate recognition equipment at the toll lane island, it can quickly issue cards to multiple vehicles, thereby improving the passage efficiency at the toll station entrance and alleviating peak congestion at the toll station.

[0073] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, based on the above embodiments, this optional embodiment can be optimized so that if the vehicle information of the current vehicle is not displayed in the vehicle information interface, the method further includes:

[0074] a1) Receive the user's trigger operation on the vehicle shooting control and obtain the vehicle image of the current vehicle.

[0075] In this embodiment, if the vehicle information is not displayed in the vehicle information interface, the user can take a picture of the vehicle through the toll terminal. Specifically, the system receives a user's trigger operation on the vehicle camera control to obtain a picture of the vehicle.

[0076] b1) Recognize the vehicle image of the current vehicle and display a vehicle information confirmation interface containing the vehicle information of the current vehicle.

[0077] Specifically, the vehicle image is used for recognition. For example, the optical character recognition (OCR) license plate recognition function is used. After the toll terminal recognizes the license plate, it enters the vehicle information confirmation interface.

[0078] c1) Receive information confirmation or information correction operations from the user on the vehicle information confirmation interface, and determine the vehicle model information and license plate information of the current vehicle.

[0079] Specifically, the user confirms the vehicle information displayed on the vehicle information confirmation interface. The toll terminal receives the user's confirmation of the vehicle information confirmation interface and automatically fills in the license plate information and vehicle model information of the current vehicle.

[0080] Considering that the equipment may erroneously recognize information due to environmental factors, lighting conditions, etc., manual correction is required to ensure accuracy. When vehicle model and license plate recognition data is abnormal, manual verification is performed on-site, and vehicle information is manually updated based on the actual vehicle situation. The user corrects the vehicle information displayed on the vehicle information confirmation interface, and the toll terminal receives this correction and automatically fills in the license plate and vehicle model information.

[0081] d1) Write the composite access card according to the license plate information and vehicle model information of the current vehicle.

[0082] Specifically, the CPC card is written based on the vehicle's license plate and model information. CPC card writing refers to the process of activating the CPC card, which records the vehicle's entry information and supports subsequent billing.

[0083] The above technical solution adds a way to automatically identify vehicles and quickly issue composite access cards when the vehicle information is not displayed in the vehicle information interface.

[0084] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, based on the above embodiments, this optional embodiment can be optimized by further comprising the following steps before writing the composite access card according to the license plate information and vehicle model information of the current vehicle:

[0085] a2) Determine whether the current vehicle is an Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) vehicle.

[0086] Specifically, it determines whether the current vehicle is an ETC vehicle.

[0087] b2) If so, then receive the ETC passage method triggered by the user.

[0088] Specifically, if the current vehicle is an ETC vehicle, the user selects the Onboard Unit (OBU) transaction, i.e., the ETC toll method. In the ETC system, the OBU is placed on the vehicle, and Roadside Units (RSUs) are installed on the roadside. They communicate with each other via microwave. When a vehicle passes through an RSU at high speed, the OBU and RSU communicate via microwave to obtain the vehicle type, calculate the toll rate, and deduct the toll. Correspondingly, the toll terminal receives the ETC toll method triggered by the user.

[0089] c2) If not, then receive the composite pass card access method triggered by the user.

[0090] Specifically, if the current vehicle is not an ETC vehicle, the user selects CPC transaction. Correspondingly, the toll terminal receives the CPC card passage method triggered by the user.

[0091] The above technical solution adds a step to selecting a high-speed vehicle transaction method.

[0092] To more clearly illustrate the fast card issuance method for highway toll stations provided in this embodiment of the invention, a practical application scenario of fast card issuance at a highway toll station will be used as an example. For instance, Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a fast card issuance method for highway toll stations in a specific application scenario, as provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the execution of the fast card issuance method at highway toll stations involves the interaction between the vehicle model and license plate recognition equipment and the toll terminal, as well as the relevant operations of the toll collector.

[0093] The vehicle registration and license plate recognition equipment performs the following steps:

[0094] start;

[0095] S1. Hardware recognition of vehicle model and license plate, i.e., vehicle information of the current vehicle;

[0096] S2. Hardware calls the port of the toll terminal to transmit vehicle information;

[0106] S11. The toll terminal enters the vehicle information confirmation interface.

[0107] S12. The toll terminal automatically fills in the license plate and vehicle type information;

[0108] S13. Determine whether the current vehicle is an ETC vehicle. If yes, proceed to step S14; otherwise, proceed to step S15.
