Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of toll station communication equipment, and in particular relates to a short-range wireless communication gateway system for toll stations. Background Technology

[0002] Highway toll stations play a crucial role in the highway system. They are not only places for collecting tolls, but also vital links in maintaining traffic order and ensuring road safety. With the increasing number of intelligent devices at highway toll stations and the frequent occurrence of emergencies, the management and maintenance of toll stations are facing considerable pressure.

[0003] Currently, each piece of equipment at toll stations has its own independent subsystem. Some platforms have complex structures, making it difficult to detect abnormal alarms. In the event of an emergency at the toll station (such as abnormal ETC barrier raising, illegal entry, or vehicle overloading) or equipment failure (power outage), it is impossible to provide a timely on-site response.

[0004] Therefore, a short-range wireless communication gateway that can effectively handle special situations and detect equipment failures at toll stations is particularly important. The transformation from a "passive" platform for receiving alarm information to an "active" alarm system is an important measure that urgently needs to be addressed in the current toll station management model.
