[0037] Figure 2is a structural schematic diagram of a highway toll data integrated management system provided by another embodiment of the present disclosure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the present scheme, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present scheme will be clearly described below in combination with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present scheme. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present scheme, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present scheme, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor should fall within the scope of protection of the present scheme.

[0039] The term "comprising" and other any variations thereof in the specification and claims of the present scheme and the above-mentioned drawings means "including but not limited to", which is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion and is not limited to the examples listed in the text. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" and the like are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order.

[0040] The implementation of the present disclosure is described in detail below in combination with specific accompanying drawings:

[0041] Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of a highway toll data integrated management system provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is provided. Referring to Figure 1 , the highway toll data integrated management system comprises:

[0042] a secondary toll system, a gateway, a network detection device, a local backup system, a data enhancement device, and a primary toll system;

[0043] The secondary toll system comprises a vehicle detection module, a communication module, a billing module, and a first master control module;

[0044] The vehicle detection module is connected with the billing module through the communication module, and the billing module is connected with the first master control module; the first master control module, the network detection device, the local backup system, the data enhancement device, and the primary toll system are all connected with the gateway;

[0045] The primary toll system is also connected with the gateway through the data enhancement device.

[0046] In this embodiment, the secondary charging system includes a vehicle detection module, a communication module, a charging module and a first master control module. The vehicle detection module is configured to determine the position information of the vehicle, which is one of the basic data for charging; the communication module can transmit the vehicle information (such as vehicle dynamics, vehicle features, vehicle position, etc.) obtained by the vehicle detection module to the charging module; the charging module can calculate the fees according to the position information of the vehicle and other charging factors (such as vehicle type, driving distance, time, etc.); the first master control module can analyze and process the charging data calculated by the charging module and send the processed data to the gateway. There are multiple secondary charging systems, mainly distributed in each small area in a large area, for example, there are n expressway toll stations in a city, then the secondary charging system can have n.

[0047] The gateway can send the charging data in the multiple secondary charging systems to the primary charging system.

[0048] The network detection device is used to monitor and detect the state of the network, to ensure the stability and security of data transmission. Once the network anomaly is detected, the gateway can store the data sent by the secondary charging system in the local backup system, and at the same time, the data sent by the secondary charging system is transmitted to the primary charging system through the data enhancement device. Usually, the gateway sends the charging data of the secondary charging system to the primary charging system directly; when the network is abnormal, the charging data of the secondary charging system is sent to the primary charging system after being processed by the data enhancement device.

[0049] The local backup system is used to store and manage the backup of charging data, to prevent data loss or damage, and when needed, the data can be recovered from the backup system.

[0050] The data enhancement device can enhance the data from the secondary charging system, such as data compression, data encryption, etc., to improve the quality and security of the data.

[0051] The primary charging system, as the core system of the expressway toll, can receive and process the charging data from the secondary charging system, and perform the final fee settlement and management.

[0052] The working principle of the system is as follows:

[0053] The system determines the vehicle position through the vehicle detection module, and the charging module calculates the fee according to the position information and charging factors such as vehicle type and driving distance. After the first master control module of the secondary charging system processes the charging data, it is sent to the primary charging system through the gateway. As a data forwarding center, the gateway can ensure stable data transmission. At the same time, the network detection device can monitor the network state in real time, and once an anomaly is found, the data backup mechanism will be triggered, first storing the data in the local backup system, and then sending it to the primary charging system after encryption, compression and other processing by the data enhancement device, to ensure data security. The primary charging system receives and processes data from the secondary charging system, and performs fee settlement and management.

[0054] From the above, on the one hand, the present disclosure takes into account that each high-speed toll station will generate charging data, and direct management is too cumbersome, so a two-level charging system is established for charging data management. The secondary charging system is mainly responsible for charging data in a small area, and there are multiple secondary charging systems; the primary charging system is responsible for managing charging data sent by all small areas, and this two-level charging management system can greatly reduce the complexity and workload of directly managing data of all high-speed toll stations. Each secondary charging system can operate independently to process charging data in its responsible area, improving the flexibility and response speed of the system.

[0055] On the other hand, the present disclosure is also equipped with a network detection device and a data enhancement device, which enhances the security of data transmission and storage. The network detection device can monitor the network state in real time, and timely discover and solve network abnormal problems to ensure stable data transmission. The data enhancement device encrypts, compresses and processes the transmitted data to improve the confidentiality and integrity of the data, preventing the risk of data leakage and tampering.

[0056] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 2 , the secondary charging system further comprises:

[0057] a first data storage module and a second data storage module;

[0058] The first data storage module and the second data storage module are connected with the first master control module;

[0059] The first data storage module is configured to store normal charging vehicle data, and the second data storage module is configured to store abnormal charging vehicle data.

[0060] In this embodiment, the first data storage module is configured to store normal billing vehicle data, which typically includes the vehicle's passage information, billing details, and any other information related to the normal billing process. By storing these normal billing data, the first data storage module can ensure the integrity and traceability of the data, which is crucial for subsequent cost settlement, data analysis, and audit, etc. At the same time, it also helps to optimize the performance of the system, because the normal billing data can usually be organized and stored according to certain rules, thereby improving the efficiency of data retrieval and processing.

[0061] The second data storage module is configured to store abnormal billing vehicle data. The role of the second data storage module is to record and handle these abnormal situations for further investigation and processing later. By storing these abnormal data separately, the system can more easily identify and track potential problems, so that timely measures can be taken to correct them. In addition, these abnormal data can also be used to improve the billing rules and algorithms of the system, to improve the accuracy and reliability of the system.

[0062] From the above, it can be concluded that the first data storage module and the second data storage module can ensure the integrity, traceability and accuracy of the data in the two-level toll system. At the same time, by storing normal and abnormal billing data separately, the system can more efficiently process and manage these data, providing strong support for highway toll management.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first data storage module and the second data storage module are both designed with redundancy, each storage module containing at least one backup storage device.

[0064] In this embodiment, the redundancy design significantly improves the reliability of data storage. By configuring a backup storage device for each storage module, when the main storage device fails, the system can quickly switch to the backup storage device, thereby ensuring the continuity and availability of data. This design effectively avoids single point of failure, reducing the risk of data loss due to storage device failure. Redundant design also enhances the fault tolerance of data storage. In a redundant storage architecture, even if some storage devices fail, the system can still continue to run and provide data access services through backup storage devices.

[0065] From the above, it can be concluded that the first data storage module and the second data storage module are both designed with redundancy, improving the reliability and fault tolerance of the system.

[0066] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, with reference to Figure 2 The first-level toll system includes:

[0067] The first interface module, the flow detection module, the second main control module, the second interface module, the third interface module, the master device and the slave device;

[0068] The first interface module is connected with the gateway, and is further connected with the gateway through a data enhancement device.

[0069] The flow detection module and the second main control module are connected with the first interface module, and the flow detection module is connected with the second main control module; the master device is connected with the second main control module through the second interface module, and the slave device is connected with the second main control module through the third interface module.

[0070] The flow detection module is configured to detect the data amount transmitted by the second interface module, and the second main control module is configured to control the working states of the second interface module and the third interface module according to the data amount transmitted by the first interface module; the data storage priority of the master device is higher than that of the slave device.

[0071] In the embodiment, the first interface module serves as a main interface for the primary charging system to communicate with the external (such as the gateway), and can receive charging data from the secondary charging system.

[0072] The flow detection module can detect the data amount transmitted through the second interface module, which is helpful for the system to monitor the dynamic changes of data flow and timely find and solve potential bottlenecks or abnormal situations.

[0073] The second main control module serves as the core control unit of the primary charging system, and can control the working states of the second interface module and the third interface module according to the data amount transmitted by the first interface module. For example, when the data amount is large, the data transmission of the master device (with a higher data storage priority) can be preferentially ensured, or the transmission rate of the interface module can be adjusted to adapt to network conditions.

[0074] The second interface module connects the master device with the second main control module, and can be responsible for the data transmission between the master device and the primary charging system. The third interface module connects the slave device with the second main control module, and realizes the data transmission between the slave device and the primary charging system. Since the data storage priority of the master device is higher, when the second main control module judges that the data flow is large, the data is preferentially stored to the master device according to the type of the data, and when the master device is difficult to meet the demand, the third interface module is opened to enable the slave device to receive data.

[0075] From the above, the first charging system realizes efficient communication with the gateway through the first interface module, ensuring timely receipt of charging data; the real-time monitoring function of the traffic detection module helps to timely discover and solve bottleneck problems in data transmission; the intelligent control strategy of the second master control module dynamically adjusts the working state of the second interface module and the third interface module according to the data volume, and preferentially guarantees the data transmission of the master device, improving the efficiency and stability of data transmission, while fully utilizing the storage capacity of the slave device, realizing the optimal allocation of resources.

[0076] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 2 The first charging system further comprises:

[0077] a remote monitoring module;

[0078] The remote monitoring module is connected with the second master control module and is configured to receive instructions from the remote management center and adjust the working state of the first charging system according to the instructions.

[0079] In this embodiment, the remote monitoring module can receive instructions from the remote management center, which can involve system configuration, data transmission rate adjustment, interface module working state switching, etc. According to the received instructions, the second master control module can intelligently adjust the working state of the first charging system to adapt to different operation requirements and emergency situations. Through the remote monitoring module, the system administrator can comprehensively manage the system without going to the site, greatly improving the management efficiency and reducing the operation cost.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 2 The first charging system further comprises:

[0081] an intelligent analysis module;

[0082] The intelligent analysis module is connected with the second master control module.

[0083] In this embodiment, the intelligent analysis module is configured to perform real-time or offline analysis on the collected charging data, including but not limited to vehicle type distribution, driving mileage statistics, toll revenue analysis, etc., to provide decision support and management optimization suggestions. Through in-depth analysis of the charging data, the intelligent analysis module can identify potential operation problems and optimization space, providing scientific decision support for the system administrator. For example, according to the vehicle type distribution and driving mileage statistics, the system administrator can adjust the charging strategy, optimize resource allocation, and improve the overall efficiency of the charging system.

[0084] From the above, the intelligent analysis module brings a more intelligent and refined management mode to the primary toll system, not only improves the operation efficiency of the system, but also provides scientific decision support and management optimization suggestions for the system administrator, which helps to promote the continuous improvement and optimization of the toll system.

[0085] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 2 The primary toll system further comprises:

[0086] a warning module;

[0087] The warning module is connected with the second master control module.

[0088] In this embodiment, the warning module is closely connected with the second master control module, which can monitor and analyze the running state of the system and the abnormal situation of the toll data in real time, so as to issue a warning signal in time before or when potential problems occur.

[0089] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 2 The data enhancement device comprises:

[0090] a data compression module and a data encryption module;

[0091] The data compression module and the data encryption module are connected with the gateway, and the data compression module and the data encryption module are connected with the primary toll system.

[0092] In this embodiment, the main function of the data compression module is to compress the transmitted data to reduce the volume of the data, so as to improve the efficiency and speed of data transmission. In the toll system, the amount of data to be transmitted may be very large, including vehicle information, toll records, image videos and other types of data, so the data compression module is particularly important. Through data compression, the bandwidth and time required for data transmission can be effectively reduced under the premise of ensuring data integrity, and the overall performance of the system can be improved.

[0093] The data encryption module can ensure the security of data transmission. In the process of data transmission, in order to prevent data from being illegally intercepted, tampered with or leaked, the data encryption module will encrypt the transmitted data. Only the receiver with the corresponding decryption key can correctly interpret the data, so as to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the data. The application of the data encryption module provides strong security protection for the primary toll system, effectively preventing the risk of data leakage and illegal access.

[0094] From the above, the data enhancement device reduces the data volume through the data compression module, improves the transmission efficiency, reduces the bandwidth requirement, speeds up the data flow, and optimizes the system performance. At the same time, the data encryption module ensures the safety of data transmission, prevents illegal interception, tampering or leakage, protects the data confidentiality and integrity, provides strong security for the first-class toll system, effectively resists the risk of data leakage and illegal access when the network is unstable or insecure, and overall improves the security and reliability of the system.

[0095] The above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present disclosure, but not to limit it; although the present disclosure has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing examples can be modified, or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure.
