ABSTRACT:
A communication processing device in a booth computer of a toll collecting system includes a communication firmware portion for transmitting data to and receiving data from a predetermined number of lane controllers which control equipments installed respectively in toll collection lanes and detecting and correcting errors in communication, a lane controller interface for analyzing the data transmitted from the communication firmware portion, distributing the data to various processing devices in the booth computer, and transmitting predetermined commands and data from the processing devices in the booth computer to the lane controllers through the communication firmware portion, a lower interface operating state managing portion for receiving commands on a communication operation from a user, controlling a communication state, and providing the result to the user, and a booth controller interface for transmitting to a booth controller initializing data representing the state of each lane, booth control data including the equipment state of each lane received from the lane controller interface, and working state data transmitted from the lower interface operating state managing portion. According to the communication processing device, the operating state of the lane controller can be monitored in real time and the booth computer controlling the toll collecting system can transmit data to and receive data from various lane controllers, a booth controller, and peripheral equipment connected thereto.
