Abstract
A mobile radio communication device for an automatic toll collection system executes toll charging processing and travel guide. It communicates with road-side communication devices at an entrance gate and an exit gate in a toll charge area to receive map data. It also receives present position information from a GPS receiver circuit. It executes processing necessary for toll charging based on the received map data and present position information. It also provides a travel guide in the toll charge area.
Claims17
A mobile radio communication device for an automatic toll collection system which charges a toll of a mobile body by executing communications with a road-side communication device, the device comprising:
- communication means for receiving map data from the road-side communication device;
- processor means for providing a travel guide based on the map data and present position information of the mobile body;
- and
- output means for outputting the travel guide for guiding a travel of the mobile body.
A mobile radio communication device for an automatic toll collection system which charges a toll of a mobile body by executing communications with road-side communication devices at an entrance gate and an exit gate, the device comprising:
- communication means for receiving map data of the toll charge area from the road-side communication device at the entrance gate;
- and
- processor means for calculating a toll charge for an actual travel distance of the mobile body in a toll charge area between the entrance gate and the exit gate based on the map data and present position information of the mobile body.
A mobile radio communication device for an automatic toll collection system which charges a toll of a mobile body by executing communications with road-side communication devices at an entrance gate and an exit gate in a toll charge area, the device comprising:
- communication means for receiving map data of a toll charge area from the road-side communication device at the entrance gate;
- and
- processor means for checking, based on the map data and present position information of the mobile body, whether the mobile body is in a special toll area in which a special toll is charged, and charging the special toll when the mobile body travels the special toll area.
A mobile radio communication method for an automatic toll collection system comprising steps of:
- receiving map data of a toll charge area from road-side communication devices provided in the toll charge area upon entering and leaving the toll charge area;
- receiving present position information of a vehicle from a GPS system;
- executing predetermined processing based on the present position information and the map data, the predetermined processing including at least a calculation of a distance of actual travel of the vehicle in the toll charge area for a provision of at least one of a toll charge and a travel guide information in the toll charge area;
- and
- outputting a result of the predetermined processing in the vehicle.
