Abstract

The application discloses a method, system and related device of implementing vehicle automatically weighing, so as to achieve the automatically weighing of the unmanned vehicle. The method includes: controlling, by a vehicle controller, a vehicle to drive automatically and stop at a weighing position; weighing, by a weighbridge sensor, the vehicle when sensing the vehicle stopping at the weighing position, and sending weighing end information to the vehicle controller; and controlling, by the vehicle controller, the vehicle to start and leave the weighing position when receiving the weighing end information.

Claims (36)

1. A payment terminal, comprising:

a communication unit configured to receive and send information;

a storage unit configured to store a weighing result and driving mileage corresponding to vehicle identification information; and

a payment control unit comprising a processor and at least one memory, wherein the at least one memory stores at least one machine executable instruction, and the processor executes the at least one machine executable instruction to:

obtain the vehicle identification information of a vehicle stopping at a payment position;

obtain, from the storage unit, the weighing result and the driving mileage corresponding to the vehicle identification information;

calculate payment amount according to the obtained weighing result and driving mileage;

send, through the communication unit, the payment amount to the vehicle controller;

collect the payment amount paid by the vehicle controller;

keep an account of the payment amount in a bill corresponding to the vehicle identification information; or

deduct the payment amount from an account of an Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) system corresponding to the vehicle identification information;

determine that the vehicle controller pays the payment amount in response to keeping an account of the payment amount in the bill successfully or deducting the payment amount from the ETC successfully; and

send, through the communication unit, leaving indication information to a vehicle controller in response to determining that the vehicle controller pays the payment amount.

2. The payment terminal of claim 1 , wherein the processor executes the at least one machine executable instruction to further:

identify the vehicle identification information of the vehicle stopping at the payment position; or

receive the vehicle identification information of the vehicle from the vehicle controller.

3. The payment terminal of claim 2 , wherein the payment control unit further comprises a sensor, and identifying the vehicle identification information of the vehicle stopping at the payment position comprises:

controlling the sensor to take an image of the vehicle; and

performing image identification processing on the image to obtain the vehicle identification information of the vehicle; or

controlling the sensor to scan a two-dimensional code or bar code on the vehicle, to obtain the vehicle identification information of the vehicle.

4. A method comprising:

obtaining, by a payment control unit of a payment terminal, vehicle identification information of a vehicle stopping at a payment position;

obtaining, from a storage unit of the payment terminal, the weighing result and the driving mileage corresponding to the vehicle identification information, wherein the storage unit is configured to store a weighing result and driving mileage corresponding to the vehicle identification information;

calculating, by the payment control unit, a payment amount according to the obtained weighing result and driving mileage;

sending, through a communication unit of the payment terminal, the payment amount to the vehicle controller;

keeping, by the payment control unit, an account of the payment amount in a bill corresponding to the vehicle identification information by the payment control unit; or

deducting, by the payment control unit, the payment amount from an account of an Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) system corresponding to the vehicle identification information by the payment control unit;

collecting, by the payment control unit, the payment amount paid by the vehicle controller;

determining, by the payment control unit, that the vehicle controller pays the payment amount in response to keeping an account of the payment amount in the bill successfully or deducting the payment amount from the ETC successfully, wherein the vehicle controller located is on the vehicle stopping at the payment position; and

sending, through the communication unit, leaving indication information to the vehicle controller in response to determining that the vehicle controller pays the payment amount, wherein the communication unit is configured to receive and send information.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

identifying, by the payment terminal, the vehicle identification information of the vehicle stopping at the payment position; or

receiving, by the payment terminal, the vehicle identification information of the vehicle from the vehicle controller.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the payment control unit further comprises a sensor; and identifying the vehicle identification information of the vehicle stopping at the payment position comprises:

controlling the sensor to take an image of the vehicle, and performing image identification processing on the image to obtain the vehicle identification information of the vehicle; or

controlling the sensor to scan a two-dimensional code or bar code on the vehicle, to obtain the vehicle identification information of the vehicle.
