たか否かは不定である。In the toll collection system for toll roads described above, different communication processes are performed depending on the types of passing lanes such as entrances and exits of distance-district toll roads and uniform toll roads. Generally, when the roadside device 4 detects a communication error, it is undefined whether or not the communication process in the vehicle-mounted device 2 has been completed normally.

実行し、課金結果を路側機４に送信する。FIG. 5 shows an example of a communication process performed by exchanging a message between a roadside machine on a prepaid-type uniform toll road and a vehicle-mounted device 2 in which the balance is held in the vehicle-mounted device 2.
When the vehicle 1 enters the tollgate and reaches the communication area, the roadside device 4 transmits a request for reading the vehicle-mounted device, reads the vehicle-mounted device information and the amount information (remaining balance) from the vehicle-mounted device 2, and checks the vehicle-mounted device information. To calculate the toll and check the balance. Next, the roadside device 4 transmits a charging request to the vehicle-mounted device 2 based on the calculated toll. The vehicle-mounted device 2
According to the billing request from the roadside device 4, the remaining amount is withdrawn and the billing result is transmitted to the roadside device 4.

It has arrived, but it is not clear whether the charging result message from the vehicle-mounted device 2 has not reached the roadside device 4. That is, the roadside machine 4
Cannot distinguish whether or not the vehicle-mounted device 2 has normally performed the remaining amount withdrawal process. In such a case, if the roadside device 4 performs the same communication process again on the vehicle-mounted device 2, it may end up withdrawing two tolls.

In this case, if the billing process is performed again by the roadside device 4, the billing process is doubled.

As shown in the figure, in the memory 16 of the roadside device 10, a process ID and a current time that can uniquely specify the tollgate number to which the roadside device belongs are stored in place of the roadside device ID and the processing number in the first embodiment. When the charging process is performed normally, the process ID and the current time are transmitted from the roadside device 10 to the vehicle-mounted device 20. In addition, the passing direction of the vehicle may be added to the processing ID as needed. Also, instead of the roadside device ID and the process number in the first embodiment, the memory 34 of the vehicle-mounted device 20 stores the roadside device 1 as shown in FIG.
The processing ID and processing time sent from 0 are updated and held during normal processing.

By repeatedly performing, it is possible to know whether or not the immediately preceding communication process has been correctly completed by the vehicle-mounted device 20. Also, when the on-board unit 20 happens to communicate with another adjacent roadside unit 10 in the same tollgate after the charging process on the roadside unit in a certain tollgate lane is completed normally, the double charging process is performed. Can be prevented from being performed. Also, even if the processing IDs match, if the elapsed time is longer than a certain time, the vehicle may exit the tollgate and then enter the same tollgate again. The charging process is performed on the device 20.

課金処理を正しく実施することができる。As described above in detail, according to the present invention, a toll from a vehicle passing through a tollgate is provided by wireless communication between a roadside device installed on the roadside of the tollgate and an on-vehicle device mounted on the vehicle. In the toll collection system, the vehicle-mounted device records, in the above-mentioned vehicle-mounted device, specific information that specifies a communication process that has been completed immediately before by the vehicle-mounted device, and the roadside device performs a charging process by communicating with the vehicle-mounted device. Since the specific information recorded in the on-vehicle device is read to determine whether or not the immediately preceding process has been normally completed by the on-vehicle device, the charging process is performed by communication between the roadside device and the on-vehicle device. At the time of execution, it is possible to identify whether or not the immediately preceding process in the vehicle-mounted device has been normally completed, and to correctly execute the charging process.

確実に防止することができる。According to the present invention, when the vehicle-mounted device records specific information for specifying a communication process which has been completed immediately before the vehicle-mounted device, the roadside device performs a charging process with the vehicle-mounted device by wireless communication. Since the specific information recorded in the on-vehicle device is read to determine whether the current communication process and the previous communication process overlap with each other, it is possible to reliably prevent the billing process from being repeatedly performed. it can.
