A moving body monitoring apparatus for examining whether a moving body includes communication means or not or examining whether the moving body has particular information or not. The apparatus includes a moving side communication element held in the moving body 1 capable of moving freely, fixed position side communication element 3 and 7 disposed in a fixed position and having a narrow particular range set as a communication area, the fixed position side communication element communicating with the moving side communication element held in the moving body passing through the area, moving body detecting element 2 and 4 for detecting the moving body entering into the communication area of the fixed position side communication element without contact with the moving body, and element 9 for deciding whether the moving body holds the moving side communication element or not on the basis of a communication result with the moving body by the fixed position side communication element and detection information of the moving body detecting element.

Apparatus for monitoring moving bodies

An electronic traffic tariff reception system can identify a vehicle traveling freely on a road having a plurality of lanes clearly and impose a predetermined debit value on the vehicle in the non-stop manner and in the cashless manner. Further, the system can photograph an image of an illegally passing vehicle. A vehicle identification apparatus can identify the vehicles traveling freely on the road having the plurality of lanes separately in a control point of the reception system. An in-vehicle unit equipped with a smart card is mounted in a vehicle. An antenna for debiting process capable of performing radio communication with the in-vehicle unit is provided. Also provided are an antenna controller for causing the antenna for the debiting process to receive personal information and vehicle information, a local controller for judging whether the information is normal or not or whether the vehicle is to be debited or not, and an apparatus for photographing an illegally passing vehicle. The in-vehicle unit is mounted in each of vehicles and at least one or more antennas are disposed above the road in association with each lane. When radio communication with the in-vehicle unit is made by way of the antennas, the antennas are started into a time sharing multiple accessing method.
