Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a toll collection method applied to a road traffic network connecting different toll roads connected to each other. 2. Description of the Related Art On a toll road of a distance-distance system in a highway, etc., at a toll gate, entrance information (entrance toll gate number, entrance month, date and time, etc.) is transmitted from a toll issuing machine. The toll ticket printed and magnetically recorded is issued and handed to the user, and at the exit tollgate, based on the entrance information magnetically recorded by the toll ticket checker, the fee table sent by the upper data processing device. (Toll gates are set for each toll gate number), tolls are calculated, and tolls are collected from users. A general formula for calculating the toll at this time is shown in the following formula 1. Toll = terminal charge + toll according to mileage ... (Equation 1) where terminal charge: basic toll for toll road use Toll according to mileage: value calculated by multiplying mileage by a certain coefficient Now, conventional toll collection in the case of transiting on toll roads with different management will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 4A, when toll roads (A) 51 and toll roads (B) 52 are connected by different road managers, the toll road (A) 51 and the toll road (B) are connected. 52
A barrier tollgate 53 is provided at the boundary of
3. Settle the fee. When the toll road (B) 62 is sandwiched between the toll roads (A) 61 and 63, as shown in FIG. In addition, barrier toll booths [b] 64 and [c] 65 are provided, and the charges are settled at the barrier toll booths [b] 64 and [c] 65. At this time, when the user flows from the toll road (A) 61 through the toll road (B) 62 and enters the toll road (A) 63, the user enters the toll road (A) 61 and the toll road (B). ) The toll of the toll road (A) 61 is settled at the barrier toll booth [b] 64 at the boundary of 62, and further, the toll road (B)
Barrier tollgate at the boundary between 62 and toll road (A) 63 [c]
At 65, the toll on the toll road (B) 62 is settled.
An exit tollgate [d] 67 at the exit of the toll road (A) 63 and an exit tollgate [d] 67 from a barrier tollgate [c] 65 provided at the boundary between the toll road (B) 62 and the toll road (A) 63. Settle tolls up to. [0007] When the administrator uses a different toll road as shown in FIG. 4 (b) while transiting along the way, the fee paid by the user is as follows. However, TA indicates terminal charge. The toll at the barrier tollgate [b] = TA + the toll in the section [b] to [b] (Equation 2) The toll at the barrier tollgate [c] = TA + section [b] ~ Toll at [C] (Equation 3) Toll at tollgate [D] = TA + Toll at section [C] to [D] ... (Equation 4) However, FIG. There are the following problems in the conventional toll collection on toll roads as shown in FIG. That is, the user pays the terminal charge twice for the toll road (A), and the use section becomes two sections, and the discount rate of the long distance decrease with respect to the mileage also decreases,
A user who travels on the same distance without connecting to the toll road (B) has a lower toll, which gives the user an unfair feeling. [0010] This is caused by the fact that the first entrance information has connected the toll road (B) and cannot be confirmed at the tollgate [d]. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances,
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a toll collection method that can solve problems such as a reduction in a discount rate of long-distance reduction of a toll mileage that occurs when an administrator switches over different toll roads and a problem of twice payment of a terminal charge. And A toll terminal (barrier toll terminal) having the following functions is installed at a barrier toll gate at a toll road transit point as shown in FIG. 4 (b). 1) Inflow lane to toll road (B) a. A function that reads the magnetically recorded entrance information from the pass and calculates the fare. B. A function to display tolls on the toll display. c. Ability to issue receipts. d. A function of temporarily storing the read entrance information (toll gate number of the toll road (A) different from the inflow road). E. In addition to the barrier entrance information at the barrier tollgate [b] or the barrier tollgate [c] (the entrance tollgate number is used as the barrier tollgate number), the temporarily stored entrance information is printed on the passport, Ability to record. 2) Outflow lane from toll road (B) a. A function to read the magnetically recorded entrance information (barrier entrance information for vehicles passing through the barrier) from the toll ticket and calculate the fare. B. A function to display tolls on the toll display. c. Ability to issue receipts. d. Function to temporarily save the read entrance information. E. Based on the read entrance information, it is determined whether the vehicle passes through the barrier. If the vehicle does not pass through the barrier, the barrier toll gate entrance information is printed on a toll ticket and magnetically recorded. When the vehicle is passing through the barrier, the entrance tollgate number (tollgate number of the toll road (A)) of the entrance information recorded at the barrier is printed on the toll ticket and magnetically recorded. The operation will be described by way of example in FIG. 4 (b) when the vehicle enters from the toll gate [a] and flows out of the toll gate [d]. Tollgate [A]
The collection member 66 issues a toll ticket printed and magnetically recorded with the entrance information (see FIG. 5A) using the toll issuing machine at the tollgate [a] 66 and hands it to the user. The collection and reception staff at the barrier toll booth [b] 64 receives a toll ticket from the user and checks the toll ticket at the terminal of the barrier toll booth [b] 64. The terminal at the barrier toll booth [b] 64 reads the magnetic recording contents of the toll ticket, calculates the toll, displays the toll on the toll display, and reads the entrance information of the read toll booth [a] 66 (FIG. 5 (a)). The toll at the barrier tollgate [b] 64 = TA (terminal charge) + the toll in the section [b] to [b] (Equation 2) Collect fees from users and issue receipts. After issuing the receipt, the terminal of the barrier tollgate [b] 64 adds the barrier entrance information and the entrance information of the tollgate [a] (see FIG. 5B) to the toll on the toll road (B) 62. The passport is issued by printing and magnetic recording. The collection and reception staff at the barrier toll booth [b] 64 hands the toll ticket issued from the terminal to the user. The collection member of the barrier tollgate [C] 65 receives the toll ticket from the user and confirms the toll ticket at the terminal of the barrier tollgate [C] 65. The terminal at the barrier tollgate [c] 65 reads the magnetic recording contents of the toll ticket, temporarily stores the information on the entrance of the tollgate [a] when the barrier is passed from the entrance tollgate number, and stores the toll fee. And display the toll on the toll display. The toll at the barrier toll gate [C] = TA (terminal charge) + the toll in the section [B] to [C] (Equation 3) The user of the barrier toll gate [C] is a user Collect more fees and issue a receipt. After issuing the receipt, the terminal of the barrier tollgate [c] prints the entrance information of the tollgate [a] (see FIG. 5 (c)) stored in the toll road (A) toll ticket. And issue a toll ticket with magnetic recording. The collection member at the barrier toll booth [c] hands the toll ticket issued from the terminal at the barrier toll booth [c] to the user. The collection staff at the barrier tollgate [d] receives a passport from the user and checks it with a passport check machine. The toll checker reads the magnetic recording contents of the toll ticket, calculates the toll, and displays the toll on the toll display. The toll at the tollgate [d] = the toll in the section [c] to [d] (Equation 5) When calculating the toll in the section [c] to [d], As shown, the travel distances of sections [a] to [b] and sections [c] to [d] are preliminarily multiplied by the long distance reduction rate from the tolls of sections [c] to [d], and the discount rate is calculated and subtracted. Set [0027] Toll in section [c] to [d] = (section [b] to [b] + section [c] to [d]) * long-distance reduction rate-section [b] to [b] Fee ... (Equation 6) The collection staff at the tollgate [d] collects the fee from the user and issues a receipt. The fees collected by the user at the toll booth are as follows, and the same distance is not transferred to the toll road (B).
The toll will be the same as the user who has traveled on the toll road (A). Toll at barrier toll booth [b] = Terminal charge + toll in section [b] to [b] ... (same as Equation 2) Toll at barrier toll booth [c] = terminal charge (TA) + Toll in section [b] to [c] ... (same as equation 3) Toll in tollgate [d] = toll in section [c] to [d] (same as equation 5) Such toll collection can solve problems such as a reduction in the discount rate of long-distance reduction of the toll travel distance and a double payment of terminal charges, etc., which occur when the administrator switches over different toll roads.
