[0028]
Next, in step S <b> 3, the control unit 2 notifies the front panel unit 3 to provide a predetermined voice guidance, and notifies the toll guidance display 6 to display a predetermined message. As a result, the voice guidance speaker 101 generates voice guidance “Please insert a pass ticket or ETC card”, and a message to that effect is displayed on the fee guidance display 6.
[0029]
If there is a physical disability discount or a forced outflow discount in step S4, the collection member confirms the discount certificate presented by the user on the exit lane and performs a discount operation on the operation panel 4. Thus, in step S5, the operation panel 4 notifies the control unit 2 that there is a discount. Further, when the user inserts the discount certificate into a certificate box (not shown), the operation of the operation panel 4 or the monitoring panel 13 by the collector is notified to the control unit 2. Then, the control unit 2 notifies the front panel unit 3 of a command to unlock the door of the certificate insertion slot 204, and unlocks the door of the certificate insertion slot 204.
[0030]
Next, in step S6, when the user inserts the toll ticket into the toll ticket slot 202, the entrance data (entrance interchange (IC) number, vehicle type, etc.) recorded on the toll ticket is transmitted to the toll ticket processing unit 7 And is notified to the control unit 2. In step S7, the control unit 2 collates the vehicle type obtained from the vehicle type determination device 14 in step S1 with the vehicle type in the entrance data obtained from the passport processing unit 7 in step S6.
[0031]
If the result of this verification is a match in step S8, the process proceeds to step S10. If they do not match, in step S9, the control unit 2 notifies the monitoring panel 13 and the operation panel 4 and accepts the operation of the collection staff. As described above, when the vehicle type recorded in the toll ticket does not match the result of the vehicle type determination, the monitor 13 displays a screen display and a buzzer that prompts the collection staff to confirm the toll ticket. Then, the collection member visually confirms the vehicle type of the vehicle and presses the vehicle type setting button of the monitoring panel 13.
[0032]
Next, in step S10, the control unit 2 determines the toll of the vehicle based on the toll table transmitted from the host system 12 and stored in advance and the entrance data.

In response to a command from the control unit 2, the prepaid card processing unit 81 removes the amount data from the prepaid card. The withdrawal of the prepaid card is performed immediately after the card is inserted. For example, even if the balance is less than the toll, the withdrawal is performed immediately. In this case, the user can also accept the double or additional copy by inserting the user.
[0037]
If the user makes a payment using a credit card, an ETC card, or the like in step S13, the multifunction card processing unit 82 reads the data of the inserted card in step S16. The data is notified to the host system 12 via the control unit 2 and is confirmed. When the host system 12 confirms the receipt, the receipt of the toll is determined, and the card is ejected from the multi-function card processing unit 82 under the control of the control unit 2.
[0038]
If it is determined in step S13 that the collector needs to take action such as a U-turn, a boat ticket, an emergency car, or unpaid, in step S17, the collector goes to the exit lane and operates the operation panel 4 to start the vehicle. Open 16 and guide the vehicle to the office to perform office processing.
[0039]
Next, when the control unit 2 recognizes that the receipt of the toll is confirmed, the control unit 2 stops the coin sorter 11 in step S18 and inserts the coin in the prepaid card processing unit 81, the multi-function card processing unit 82, and the bill processing unit 9. Is not accepted. Then, the control unit 2 instructs the front panel unit 3 to close the coin insertion slot 203, the bill insertion slot 201, the prepaid card insertion slot 212, and the shutter of the card insertion slot 209. As a result, coins, bills, and cards become unacceptable. The control unit 2 displays a guidance message on the fee guidance display 6 and instructs the front panel unit 3 to generate voice guidance. As a result, a guidance message is displayed on the fee guidance display 6, and a voice guidance such as “Thank you” is output from the voice guidance speaker 101. Further, when the control unit 2 notifies the start controller 16 of the opening command, the start controller 16 is opened, and the vehicle can be started.
[0040]
If there is fishing in step S19, in step S20, the control unit 2 notifies the coin dispensing machine 5 and the bill processing unit 9 of the number of coins and bills to be paid out and the payout command. In step S21, the control unit 2 instructs the front panel unit 3 to open the shutter of the change payout port 205. As a result, the surplus input money is returned from the change payment outlet 205.
[0041]
