Definitions
- the invention relates to a roadside control device for checking the proper operation of a toll device installed in a vehicle passing through the control device and having an identifying license plate, the toll device being a satellite-based electronic device
- the known system provides that a toll device is installed in each vehicle, in which a receiver for the signals of a navigation satellite system such.
- GPS Global Positioning System
- Glonass and is equipped with an electronic memory in which the toll routes and the geographical zones (hereinafter referred to simply as toll roads or routes) as well as the associated usage tariffs are recorded.
- the toll device Based on the signals from the navigation satellite system, the toll device has the current geographic position of the vehicle at all times and, based on the stored data about the toll routes, recognizes whether the vehicle is on a toll route or not, and can thus calculate the toll amounts that may be due determine automatically.
- the known system provides for the use of credit cards (e.g. chip cards) on which the toll amounts due are debited by the toll device.
- This method of collecting the toll amounts which can be carried out with comparatively little effort, in principle opens up a number of fraud opportunities for the operator of the respective vehicle. Appropriate precautions for the detection of corresponding abusive use are therefore essential.
- a toll device is known from EP 0 701 722 B1, which for this purpose has a device for self-monitoring for unauthorized manipulations on the individual components of the toll device and an error memory for recording diagnostic data in the event of an unauthorized manipulation. If there is an unauthorized manipulation, the toll device can send out a signal via an appropriate signaling device, which indicates an improper operation of the device.
- a toll device is known from EP 0 700 551, which has a signaling device via which diagnostic data, which provide information about the functionality of the toll device or its individual components, can be queried wirelessly from the outside. With the help of the transmitted diagnostic data, both non-payers and incorrect payers who bill their route usage in an incorrect fee class should be determinable. No further details are given in this document about the external monitoring devices which are intended to determine the misuse of the route and make it traceable.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a roadside control device for checking the correct operation of a toll device for satellite-based electronic toll billing, which on the one hand ensures high accuracy in the checks to be carried out, but on the other hand minimizes the effort for the device technology and the operation of the Control device required.
- This object is achieved according to the invention by a control device with the features specified in claim 1.
- This control device can advantageously be further developed by the features of the dependent subclaims.
- An advantageous use of the control device according to the invention is specified in claim 17.
- control device has at least the following devices:
- Control device d) an evaluation device for checking the plausibility of the data supplied by the communication device and the classification device from and about the passing vehicle (or its toll device) and e) a receiving device for receiving the license plate of the passing vehicle in the event of an information exchange not taking place Communication device with the toll device of the passing vehicle or in the event of a negative result of the plausibility check of the evaluation device.
- the invention thus provides a control device that can perform the required roadside monitoring of the passing vehicles practically automatically.
- the control device can wirelessly request the toll device of the vehicle passing through to transmit information about the current operating state of the toll device.
- Such information includes, in particular, information about the vehicle register used for the billing and about the proper posting of the toll amounts, for example on a credit card, or alternatively via the proper transmission of the toll amounts to a fee settlement center.
- the roadside control device is equipped in a manner corresponding to the vehicle-side toll device with a receiver for the signals of the navigation satellite system used, then for example the satellite signals currently received on the vehicle side can be compared with the satellite signals currently received by the roadside control device. In this way, confusion with other vehicles that pass the roadside control device simultaneously or very promptly and data manipulation can be practically excluded.
- the passing vehicle gives direct information about its current position at the time of the dialogue. If necessary, information from the vehicle for police purposes that goes beyond mere monthly billing could also be transmitted via the communication device (e.g. driving times of a truck driver or vehicle data that could be read out via a CAN bus).
- a particularly important part of the roadside control device is the classification device, which expediently works according to an acoustic or optical measuring principle. It has the task of recognizing the respective type of the passing vehicle so precisely on the basis of characteristic signals that it can be assigned to a certain fee class with the greatest certainty.
- acoustic measuring principles for example, the noise emitted by a vehicle can be analyzed.
- a commercial vehicle trucks or bus
- Ultrasound signals can be used, for example, to derive information that can be used to determine the size of a vehicle in order to be able to assign a class in this way.
- several different measurement methods can also be combined with one another in order to increase the reliability of the assignment.
- the classification device therefore has a sensor system that has an electronic image sensor.
- This image sensor enables the electronic recording of images of the respective vehicle, which can then be compared with stored images from a vehicle class database. The assignment to a vehicle class is based on the greatest match in the image features. To the computing effort for such
- the classification device works according to the principle of optical correlation.
- the image information not the image information, but the spatial frequencies of the images are optically superimposed and illuminated vertically with a light source.
- the intensity of the transmitted light is a direct measure of the correlation of the images and thus the vehicle class.
- the vehicle class could also be determined, for example, based on the heat distribution over the length of the vehicle using an infrared image sensor, for example using a microbolometer array.
- Another alternative is to assign vehicles passing through the control device using a geometric vehicle measurement See infrared detectors. This type of vehicle classification is, however, comparatively very complex and generally requires the control device to be installed on a bridge over the road to be observed.
- the central component of the control device according to the invention is a
- Trigger device that activates the various devices and components of the control device in a functional manner and also determines the chronological sequence of the vehicle classification.
- the trigger device detects the point in time at which a vehicle has reached a defined position on the road or a defined distance from the control device and, if necessary, delivers z. B. additionally also an indication of the respective vehicle speed.
- the trigger device expediently has an electronic image sensor with downstream image processing. Alternatively, a radar sensor or a laser sensor can also be provided. Of course, the combination of several different sensors is also possible.
- the evaluation device has the task of determining whether or not the controlled vehicle is legally traveling on the road, that is, whether the road tolls due are properly determined and debited by the in-vehicle toll device according to the applicable tariff. For this purpose, the information that is supplied on the one hand via the dialog with the toll device and on the other hand from the classification device is compared with one another and checked for plausibility. If the vehicle class queried for example by radio via the communication device from the toll device of the vehicle deviates from the vehicle class determined by the classification device, the vehicle delivers
- Evaluation device a signal that initiates further measures to punish the likely violation. Instead of a fraudulent manipulation, there could also be a technical error. The most important measure is to secure evidence that enables reliable proof that the vehicle observed has undoubtedly not properly calculated and passed on the road toll due.
- a recording device which, in the event of a negative result of the plausibility check or in the event that there is no dialogue at all the vehicle or the toll device of the vehicle has come into existence, takes a picture of the vehicle with which this vehicle can be clearly identified.
- the number plate of the vehicle can be used for this.
- Such a recording device can include, for example, an electronic camera. It is also possible that the electronic camera of the recording device is physically identical to an electronic camera that forms the sensors of the classification device, so that the effort for this component can be saved.
- the trigger device specifies the point in time at which the license plate is recorded by a corresponding signal.
- control device comprises a radio device, in particular a data radio device, via which, in the event of improper operation of the in-vehicle toll device detected by the evaluation device, the registration of the license plate of the vehicle concerned and, if necessary, further data of the respective control process to a control center is communicable.
- control device has a data compression device so that the data can be transmitted to the control center in a compressed form. This allows the capacity requirements for the
- the control device according to the invention essentially consists of electronic components which require little construction volume and have low energy consumption. Therefore, this control device can be a compact device
- the present invention makes it possible to carry out a check of the correct operation of satellite-based toll devices in random or complete form with a comparatively low outlay for the construction and operation of a roadside control device, with a very high degree of certainty being achieved with regard to the factual accuracy of the control processes carried out is. It is essential that the personnel expenditure required for this is extremely low, since the inspection tours run practically in fully automated form.
- FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a control device according to the invention
- Figure 2 is a schematic representation of a roadside installed
- the control device 1 shown in FIG. 1 in the form of functional blocks has a communication device 2, which is designed, for example, as a short-range radio device for a frequency in the range of 5.8 GHz.
- the control device 1 further comprises a classification device 3, the sensor system of which contains an electronic image sensor (eg in the form of an electronic camera).
- the control device 1 has a trigger device 4, which is connected to the communication device 2 and the classification device 3 in terms of signal technology.
- An evaluation device 5 and a recording device 7 are also connected to the trigger device for signaling purposes.
- the evaluation device 5 consists, for. B. from an electronic computer that performs a plausibility check with regard to the vehicle class of the vehicle being checked and the vehicle passing through the control device.
- this computer compares information relating to this, which is obtained via the communication device 2 from the controlled vehicle or from its toll device, with the corresponding information about the passing vehicle that was determined by the control facility itself in order to be able to determine the relevant vehicle class. If the evaluation device 5 determines that the vehicle class used in the in-vehicle toll device is different from the vehicle class determined by the control device 1 itself, a signal is generated which is representative of the state that the vehicle is currently passing
- Vehicle does not properly bill route usage fees.
- a corresponding signal is then sent to the recording device 7 via the trigger devices 4 in order to take a picture identifying the vehicle concerned.
- This recording device 7 is designed, for example, as an electronic camera. This can advantageously also be used simultaneously as a sensor system for the classification device 3.
- a GPS receiver 8 with which signals from the navigation satellite system used by the vehicle-side toll device can be received, and a z. B. designed as a data radio device radio device with which the picture taken of the vehicle or its license plate together with further information about the identified occurrence can be transmitted to a control center by wireless means.
- This control center then has reliable evidence after the transfer, on the basis of which the ascertained
- FIG. 1 A vehicle 10, which is equipped with a toll device 11 and carries a license plate 6 identifying the vehicle, is traveling on a toll road.
- the invention is on a mobile stand
- Control device 1 set up.
- the reference numeral 12 shows three satellites of a navigation satellite system which emit signals, on the basis of which an exact two-dimensional determination of the position of the respective GPS receiver and thus of the vehicle position is possible.
- the control device 1 which of course also in a vehicle that is parked on the roadside, could be installed, the toll device 11 speaks about its
- Short-range radio device queries the data required to determine the correct operation of the toll device 11.
- an evidence-securing recording of the vehicle 10 is produced via the recording unit (not shown in more detail in FIG. 2) and z. B. transmitted via a radio device, not shown in Figure 2 to a control center to follow up the violation found.
- the vehicle in question can then be pulled out of the traffic by the police at a suitable point (e.g. at a parking lot or at a rest area) and the driver concerned can be confronted with the evidence.
- it can then be determined whether the improper operation of the toll device 11 is based on manipulation or on a technical failure of the toll device 11, which the driver of the vehicle 10 would not be responsible for.
