Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an apparatus for preventing unauthorized passage on toll roads, which is designed to prevent unauthorized passage due to ticket exchange or use of tolls.

Toll roads, lfI #s, and expressways generally collect different tolls depending on vehicle type and section of use.

Expressways are generally structured so that the upper and lower lanes are completely separated by a median strip, and the only way to enter or exit the road is to pass through the tollgate dirt. ing. To determine the toll fee, record information such as the toll booth number of the entrance f-) at the entrance dart, receive a toll ticket, hand it to the collector at the exit r-), and record it on this toll ticket. Tolls are collected by reading the toll gate number of the designated entrance and determining the toll according to the distance of the section used from the entrance to the exit.

ζO Fraud is carried out through the use of illegally obtained passes (e.g. exchanged with someone else's pass along the way, feigning a loss, etc.) to covert the section of use. It may happen.

For example, a vehicle entering a toll road from the toll gate r-) at the base point exchanges a ticket with a vehicle entering from the toll gate r-) on the way to the destination, and then exchanges a ticket with a vehicle entering the toll gate ff-) at the destination. If you start the race from , even though you used the section from the base point to the destination, you can still pay the toll for the section from the toll gate near your destination to the toll gate at your destination.

Therefore, there is a need for measures that can prevent such fraud.

In order to prevent fraud by unscrupulous passersby, conventionally, the travel time is recorded on the ticket at the toll gate entrance, and at the toll gate exit, the time difference between the processing time at the exit and the passing time at the entrance is checked. Suspicious vehicles are detected by comparing this elapsed time with the standard time required for the travel section, but if a passerby takes a break such as sleeping on the way and an accident occurs, the elapsed time can be as long as it takes. Because of the length of time, it is often impossible to detect fraud if such a reason is shown, and it cannot be used as a decisive factor in preventing fraud. In contrast to this method, the numbers and numbers of passing vehicles are read at the entrance to the toll gate, recorded on the pass by a recording means, recorded on the pass at the exit toll gate, and compared with the read vehicle number information. There is also a method of checking the number of vehicles passing through the cinema and determining whether there is a match or not, but this method is effective against fraud such as when a passerby exchanges a pass while driving, Or, in the case of fraud committed in the same vehicle, in the case of the method of reusing the pass as shown below, the vehicle numbers match and it is not an effective method, i.e. (1) Faking that the first pass was lost at the exit toll gate. .

For example, if the toll is executed between Tokyo and Osaka, the toll will be optimal, but the toll paid by the user will remain the same between Tokyo and Osaka. (Tokyo is the best) (2) Then, if you use Osaka → Yokohama for the second time and get 9, the passerby will have to calculate the total of the toll ticket issued by the Tokyo toll gate for the first time and the toll ticket issued by the Osaka toll gate for the second time. I have two passes. Therefore, issue and pay the toll ticket closest to the exit toll gate, that is, issue the first ticket.
Then, you will be able to avoid the charges between Tokyo and Yokohama, and between Yokohama and Osaka.

(3) If you use the route from Tokyo to Tobu for the third time, if you use the same method as the second time, you will only need to pay for the trip from Osaka to Tobu.

After that, they combed it back and illegally passed the vehicle.

Therefore, in order to prevent illegal traffic, it is not possible to completely prevent illegal traffic unless a device is considered to prevent illegal acts carried out by this individual or one vehicle.

The present invention was made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and focused on the fact that when using a passing ticket, the travel time is significantly longer than the standard traveling time for the section of use indicated on the ticket. In the event of a lost toll ticket, a device is installed to input and store the vehicle number and a device to automatically record the past travel history, and the system calculates the number of vehicles with a history of lost passes and the number of passes received from vehicles with that number. To provide a device for preventing illegal traffic on a toll road, which enables reliable checking of illegal traffic by recording the history of travel time exceeding the standard time of the used section and checking the history to determine whether the traffic is correct. The purpose is to

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The figure is a block diagram showing the configuration of the fraud prevention device. In the figure, numeral 1 is a Noreen locking device which converts the vehicle number in the video signal into a code, and sends out the decoded vehicle number information.

If there is, the data in the 1 hour excess data storage circuit 44 is stored together with the cumulative number of time excess numbers.
The data is accumulated in the cumulative file 42, and if there is no cough number, new data is registered in the overtime data storage circuit 44.

Reference numeral 46 denotes an entrance number storage circuit which receives and temporarily stores the decoded data when the mother turn recognition device 1 decodes the vehicle number of a vehicle that has entered the toll gate. Reference numeral 41 indicates vehicle numbers stored in the entrance number storage circuit 46, and when the lost number file 40 is searched, if a corresponding number is found, the lost number population is stored together with the date in the lost number person data file 43 as entrance traffic data. This is a data writing circuit.

Next, the operation of this apparatus having the above configuration will be explained.

At the entrance tollgate, the vehicle number reading device 1 reads the vehicle number image of the incoming vehicle.
The vehicle number is decoded and sent to the terminal control device 12, and the terminal control device 12 transmits the uniquely held information such as month, day, hour, minute, and staff number to the entrance terminal along with vehicle type information obtained from a vehicle type discrimination device (not shown). Send to 13th. The entrance terminal 13 then records this information on a pass ticket and issues it.
The staff member hands this ticket to the passerby.

At the exit toll gate, the staff member takes the pass from the passerby and issues it to the exit terminal 23.

Then, the exit terminal 23 reads the recorded information on the ticket and sends the read information to the terminal control device 22. At the same time, the mother turn recognition device 1 is installed at the exit toll gate and a vehicle number reading device 21 is installed for capturing the 9th number plate image.
The video signal output from the machine recognizes the parable number of the number plate part, and the vehicle number and quantity indicated by the recognized number rate are encoded and sent to the terminal control device 22. As a result, the terminal control device compares the number of vehicles recorded on the 22 companies' transit service, and if the vehicle number obtained from the terminal control device 1 and the vehicle number on the pass are different, the exit terminal 2J and displayed on the display section of the exit terminal 2S. At the exit toll gate, you will not only be able to look at your toll ticket, but you will also be able to see on the ticket the vehicle type information and date determined by the vehicle type identification device at the exit toll gate.
Write exit information such as the time, minute, staff number, and toll amount determined from the 9th entrance toll gate information shown on the ticket.

At the exit toll gate, if a passerby declares that he or she has lost his/her passerby, currently, the tatami passerby has the passerby come to the tollgate office and interrogates him/her about where he/she came from. A fee will be charged.

In the present invention, at this time, the staff member inputs the vehicle number of the lost vehicle from the vehicle number manual section 31, and operates the lost number button J2 among the funxy entry buttons to lose the pass ticket and lose the vehicle number of nine vehicles. Nan Δ-File 4
Return to 0. Also, the vehicle number of this lost vehicle is
Each tollgate along all toll roads will be contacted by telephone, documents, etc., or online, and the information will be entered into a file in the same way.

Next, the same vehicle passed illegally and used the ticket that was supposed to have been lost. In this case, you will definitely run into overtime.0 For example, if you travel between Tokyo and Osaka with a toll ticket A issued at the Tokyo toll gate, you will get off at the Osaka toll gate because you have lost the toll ticket, and then you will get off at the Osaka toll gate. I entered from the Mosquito toll gate and passed between Osaka and Yokohama with the pass issued by the Mosquito Toll Gate, and used my previous pass A.
If you get off the Yokohama toll gate and pay the toll between Tokyo and Yokohama fraudulently, the date and time on ticket A will be far more than the allowable limit for legitimately traveling between Tokyo and Yokohama. Telephone
It should be. Therefore, the terminal control device 22
The data of the ticket that was overtime (vehicle number, entrance information, exit information) is stored in the overtime data storage circuit 44.
Send to. Since the vehicle number was previously registered in the lost car number file 40, if the fraud detection circuit 45 were to search for it, the corresponding car number should be there.

In this case, the connection is made to the terminal control device 22 as an unauthorized passage, and in response to this, the terminal control device 22 displays a message to that effect on the display section of the exit terminal 23. The staff member asks a passerby to come to the office, enters the vehicle number /4- into the input section S1, operates the printing section of funkushi entry button J4, and prints the record of #Todoroki vehicle number on the file. I will produce it from the book section 35 and use it as evidence. Also, in some cases, if you notify the vehicle number to the entrance toll gate where you originally entered and perform the same operation at the entrance toll gate, you can recover the lost number of the entrance toll gate. Since the traffic history is more clearly displayed, detection of fraud becomes more reliable.

In addition, in order to pass illegally, it is not just a matter of pretending to be a lost bicycle, it is also a case of forcibly passing through a toll gate.
It may not be registered in the file and it may be difficult to check for illegal traffic. In preparation for such a case, the data of the time-exceeding data circuit 44 is accumulated in a time-exceeding number accumulation file, which is searched by the file search circuit zeyc every certain period of time, and then printed out by the printing unit 35. Then, a vehicle number with an artificially large number of accumulated numbers is inputted from the input section 31 and registered in the time exceeded number file 41 of the funcsi access button.

If these vehicles that habitually exceed the time limit pass illegally the next time, the time limit will be exceeded and the illegality determination circuit 45 will determine that the vehicle is illegal. Also, when a vehicle registered in the lost number file 40 passes through the Todoroki toll gate entrance, the lost number population data writing circuit 41 writes the lost number population data file 4JK, and the lost number is recorded in the lost number population data file 4JK by arrangement from another toll gate. It is used as reliable evidence of illegal traffic.

In this way, it is not possible to judge by just checking the vehicle number at the entrance and exit toll gates when the time is over, but it is now possible to judge fraudulent passage based on the history of registration by vehicle number. Therefore, reliable judgment can be made.
(9) Since the history of fraud can be printed out, sufficient evidence can be obtained, which is extremely effective in preventing fraud.

As described in detail above, the present invention provides devices for capturing the vehicle number of each entering vehicle at each toll gate entrance and exit, and also detects vehicle number information by capturing the images of these devices and detecting the shift turn from the round iron image signal. A device is installed at the entrance of the tollgate to record and issue the encoded vehicle information on a pass along with population information such as the entrance tollgate and date and time. A device is installed to read and compile the 9 information recorded on the pass ticket, and the 9 vehicle number /4- recorded on the read pass ticket is compared with the vehicle number information obtained from the video signal of the vehicle at the exit of the tollgate. When there is a discrepancy, it generates an output to report it, and also compares the usage section determined from the self-entered date information and the travel time required for that usage section with the predetermined allowable time of the missing section. and a terminal control device that outputs information on the excess time when the excess time is exceeded, a circuit that stores the information on the excess time, an input section for manual data input, and a storage device that registers the data and forms a file. , a circuit that registers vehicle number information input from the input unit in the file specified by the armpit input unit;
a circuit for temporarily storing vehicle number information obtained by recognizing the turn of a vehicle that has entered the toll gate; a circuit for storing the vehicle number information obtained by recognizing the turn in the storage device according to a command from the input section; When the overtime information is output, it operates and searches the storage device for the file for registration of the lost vehicle with a passing ticket, and checks whether there is any mosquitoes or insects in the vehicle number information obtained from the passing ticket of the vehicle that exceeded the time limit. In addition to investigating, a device such as a circuit will be installed to inform the terminal control device if there is something missing, and if there is nothing missing, it will register it in the storage device, and if the pass ticket is lost, the vehicle number can be entered by operating the input section. In advance, record the vehicle number, number, entrance toll gate number, date and time of entry, etc. of the vehicle being used on the pass ticket, and also record the vehicle number and number of the vehicle being used, such as the entrance toll gate number, date and time of entry, etc. at the exit toll gate. Automatically recognize members and match them with the vehicle number information on their passes to prevent fraud when exchanging passes, and
As a result of this verification, if there is a match, the allowable time for the usage section is compared with the travel time to check whether the time has been exceeded.If the time has been exceeded, the file in the storage device is searched and the Todoroki vehicle is registered. We have checked the history of lost passes and if there is a 4 in the armpit, it will be judged as fraudulent and we will inform you of this, so it is possible to reliably check for fraud due to the use of passes while exchanging passes. It is possible to provide an illegal traffic prevention device that is suitable for toll roads and has excellent features such as being able to prevent illegal traffic.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and shown in the drawings, and can be implemented with appropriate modifications within the scope of the gist thereof. Enables input/output of information on vehicles with lost passes to/from the fraud prevention device file at entrance/exit r-)
It is also possible to facilitate the use of information by staff members.
