Description

고속도로 요금정산 시스템{HIGHWAY TOLL COLLECTION SYSTEM}Highway fare settlement system {HIGHWAY TOLL COLLECTION SYSTEM}

본 발명은 고속도로 요금정산 시스템에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는 고속도로 통행 요금을 징수하기 위해 발행하는 통행권을 고속도로 상하행선이 만나는 지점에서 서로 교환하여 주행한 구간을 바꿔 정상적인 요금을 면탈할 수 없도록 통행권을 교부받을 때 진입하는 차량의 차량번호판을 촬영하여 자동인식한 후 진출하는 차량의 차량번호판을 촬영하여 자동인식한 차량번호와 일치여부를 확인할 뿐만 아니라 인식되지 못할 경우 진입시 촬영한 영상을 불러와 진출시 촬영한 영상과 서로 비교할 수 있도록 함으로써 고속도로 통행권을 교환을 방지하도록 한 고속도로 요금정산 시스템에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a highway fare settlement system, and more particularly, a ticket for issuing to collect highway tolls is interchanged at a point where the highway up and down lines meet to change the section traveled so as to avoid the normal fare. When receiving the vehicle, the license plate of the entering vehicle is photographed and automatically recognized, and the vehicle license plate of the advancing vehicle is photographed to confirm whether it matches with the automatically recognized license plate number. The present invention relates to a highway fare settlement system that prevents the exchange of highway passes by allowing comparison with the captured images.

현재 모든 고속도로는 고속도로 입구에서 통행권을 발행하고, 출구에서 통행권을 반납하면서 요금을 정산하도록 되어 있다. 이때 통행권을 발행하는 장비 (HTIM)와 요금 정산장비는 TCS 시스템으로 통합 운영되고 있다.At present, all highways issue a ticket at the entrance of the highway and settle the fare by returning the ticket at the exit. At this time, the ticket issuing equipment (HTIM) and the fare settlement equipment are integrated into the TCS system.

TCS 시스템에 의해 통행권에 기록되는 정보는 통행권 일련번호, 고속도로에 진입한 톨게이트 고유번호, 차종번호, 고속도로 진입시간 등이 있다.The information recorded in the right of passage by the TCS system includes a right of passage serial number, a toll gate unique number that enters the highway, a vehicle model number, and a highway entry time.

고속도로 통행권은 고속도로에 진입하는 모든 차량에게 한 장씩 교부하게 되어 있다. 그리고 고속도로를 나갈 때 모든 차량은 통행권을 반납하면서 요금을 전산하게 된다.Highway passes are issued one by one for every vehicle entering the highway. And when you leave the highway, all the cars return their fare, calculating the fare.

이 과정에서 통행권을 교부받은 차량과 통행권을 교부받은 차량과 요금을 정산하는 차량이 같은 차량임을 확인하는 절차를 실행하고 있지 않기 때문에 운전자들 특히, 화물차 운전자들의 경우 고속도로의 상하행선이 서로 만나는 지점인 추풍령, 금강휴게소 또는 고속도로 주변의 식당 등에서 서로의 통행권을 교환하고 원하는 목적지 주변 톨게이트로 빠져나감으로써 톨게이트 요금을 최대 15,000원 가량 면탈하게 되는 문제점이 있다.In this process, the driver and especially the freighter driver meet the crossing point of the highway because they are not implementing the procedure to confirm that the vehicle with the right of pass and the vehicle with the right of pass are the same vehicle. There is a problem in that the toll gate fee is exempted up to about 15,000 won by exchanging each other's passes at the Chupyeongryeong, Geumgang Rest Area or restaurants around the highway and exiting to the toll gate near the desired destination.

또한, 고속도로에서 발행하는 모든 통행권은 주행거리 100km 당 4시간씩의 통행시간을 제한하고 있으나, 시간 제한이 통행권 교환방지에는 큰 효과를 얻지 못하고 있다. 왜냐하면, 안전운전을 위해 고속도로 휴게소나 갓길 등 주변에 차를 세우고 잠시 잠을 자거나 휴게소에도 숙박시설이 있어 100km 당 4시간의 제한을 지키지 못하는 경우가 발생하기 때문이다.In addition, all the tickets issued on the highway limit the travel time of 4 hours per 100km of travel, but the time limit does not have a great effect on the prevention of exchange of tickets. This is because, for safe driving, a car stops around the highway rest area or shoulder, and there are accommodations in the rest area, which means that there are cases where the limit of 4 hours per 100km cannot be kept.

한편, 통행요금 자동징수 시스템이 개발되어 청개, 성남, 판교, 신공항 등 몇몇 톨게이트에서 시험 운영되고 있으나 이런 방법은 세계적으로 아직 표준안이 확정되지 않았을 뿐만 아니라 운전자가 자신의 차량에 요금자동 징수 시스템을 장착해야하는 비용부담이 발생하는 문제점이 있다.Meanwhile, the automatic toll collection system has been developed and is being tested in several toll gates such as Cheonggae, Seongnam, Pangyo, and New Airport.However, this method has not yet been confirmed in the world, and the driver can install the automatic toll collection system on his vehicle. There is a problem in that a cost burden must be generated.

본 발명은 상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 창작된 것으로서, 본 발명의 목적은 고속도로 통행 요금을 징수하기 위해 발행하는 통행권을 고속도로 상하행선이 만나는 지점에서 서로 교환하여 주행한 구간을 바꿔 정상적인 요금을 면탈할 수 없도록 통행권을 교부받을 때 진입하는 차량의 차량번호판을 촬영하여 자동인식한 후 진출하는 차량의 차량번호판을 촬영하여 자동인식한 차량번호와 일치여부를 확인할 뿐만 아니라 인식되지 못할 경우 진입시 촬영한 영상을 불러와 진출시 촬영한 영상과 서로 비교할 수 있도록 함으로써 고속도로 통행권을 교환을 방지하도록 한 고속도로 요금정산 시스템을 제공함에 있다.The present invention has been created to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to exchange the right to issue issuing to collect the highway toll at the point where the highway up and down line meet each other to change the running distance to exempt the normal fee When the pass is issued, the vehicle license plate of the entering vehicle is automatically recognized and photographed, and the vehicle license plate of the advancing vehicle is photographed. It is to provide a highway fare settlement system that prevents the exchange of highway passes by allowing them to be compared with the images taken at the time of entry.

In this case, when lighting is required, the lighting device 130 may be operated in the frame grabber 140 to clearly photograph the license plate of the vehicle. The photographed image of the license plate photographed as described above is converted into digital in the frame grabber 140 and sent to the vehicle number recognition unit 150, and the vehicle number recognition unit 150 recognizes the vehicle number.

이렇게 인식된 인식결과는 요금정산장치(60)로 보내져 운전자가 반납하는 통행권에 입력된 차량번호와 일치여부를 확인하게 된다.The recognition result thus recognized is sent to the fare settlement device 60 to check whether or not the vehicle number entered in the pass right returned by the driver.

이때 진출하는 차량번호와 통행권에 입력된 차량번호가 일치할 경우에는 요금을 정산하게 된다. 그러나, 일치하지 않을 경우에는 면탈경유 및 각종 후속조치를 취하게 된다.At this time, if the vehicle number entering and the vehicle number entered in the pass are identical, the fare is settled. However, if there is a mismatch, it is possible to take diesel oil and take various follow-up measures.

그런데, 진출차량 번호판 인식장치(70)에서 차량의 번호판이 훼손되거나 이물질 등으로 인해 차량번호를 인식하지 못했을 경우나, 진입차량 번호판 인식장치(10)에서 차량의 번호판을 인식하지 못하여 통행권에 차량번호가 입력되지 않았을 경우에는 제 2통신장치(50)를 통해 통행권일련번호에 해당하는 촬영영상을 다운받게 된다.However, when the license plate of the on-vehicle license plate recognition device 70 is damaged or the vehicle number is not recognized due to foreign matters, or the vehicle license plate recognition device 10 does not recognize the license plate of the vehicle, the vehicle number is not included in the pass. If is not input is downloaded through the second communication device 50 corresponding to the serial number serial number.

이와 같이 진입시 촬영한 촬영영상과 진출시 촬영한 촬영영상을 모니터(80)를 통해 비교하여 일치여부를 판단하게 된다. 이때 일치여부의 판단은 요금정산을 위한 직원에 의해 이루어질 수도 있으며 자동으로 이미지를 분석하여 일치여부를 확인할 수도 있다.In this way, it is determined whether or not matched by comparing the photographed image taken when the entry and the photographed image taken when the entry through the monitor (80). At this time, the determination of the match may be made by the employee for bill settlement or may automatically check the match by analyzing the image.

이렇게 촬영영상을 통해 일치여부가 확인이 되면 요금을 정산하게 된다. 이때도 일치하지 않을 경우 면탈경유 및 각종 후속 조치를 취하게 된다.When the match is confirmed through the photographed image, the fee is settled. If this is not the case, it will be via diesel and various follow-up measures.

상기한 바와 같이 본 발명은 고속도로 통행 요금을 징수하기 위해 발행하는 통행권을 고속도로 상하행선이 만나는 지점에서 서로 교환하여 주행한 구간을 바꿔 정상적인 요금을 면탈할 수 없도록 통행권을 교부받을 때 진입하는 차량의 차량번호를 자동으로 인식하여 기록하고 통행권을 반납할 때 진출하는 차량의 차량번호를 자동으로 인식하여 진출입하는 차량의 일치여부를 확인함으로써 고속도로 통행권의 교환으로 인한 통행요금의 면탈을 방지할 수 있는 이점이 있다.As described above, according to the present invention, a vehicle of a vehicle that enters when a right to be issued is collected so that the right to be exchanged is exchanged at a point where the up and down line of the highway meets to change the section of travel, so that it is not possible to exempt the normal toll. It automatically recognizes and records the number and automatically recognizes the vehicle number of the entering vehicle when returning the pass, and checks whether the entering and exiting car is matched, thereby preventing the toll from the toll due to the exchange of the highway pass. have.

또한, 통행권이 서로 교환된 경우 이를 차량번호 및 차량번호를 자동으로 인식하지 못할 경우 진입시 촬영된 영상과 진출시 촬영된 영상을 서로 비교하여 용이하게 적발할 수 있는 이점이 있다.In addition, when the pass is exchanged with each other, when the vehicle number and the vehicle number are not automatically recognized, there is an advantage that the captured image can be easily caught by comparing the image taken when entering and the image taken when entering.
