CLE functions in a close
toll collection system, the toll road user is presented with a
toll ticket when the vehicle enters a toll entry point. When the
vehicle exits the toll road, the patron will surrender the ticket
to the toll collector at the exit point.
The computer then calculates the journey and charges the appropriate
toll fare to the user. There are cases when the Ticket Issuing
Machine at the entry point has to be taken offline and the toll
collectors' issues ticket manually to the user. This occur when
the traffic is too heavy and it would be quicker to issue tickets
manually, or when the Ticket Issuing Machine at that lane malfunctions,
and the toll collector is force to resort to issuing backup tickets
to ensure smooth traffic flow.
For Entry lane operation, the CLE
is used to generate manual tickets for used in the above conditions.
The tickets are generated from a spool and are stacked and stored
until such time when it is needed. The same applies to Exit points.
There will be cases when the Ticket Reading Machine has to be
taken offline due to heavy traffic flow or machine breakdown.
When the traffic flow is too heavy, it would be quicker to collect
the ticket manually from the user, or when a machine breakdown
occurs, the toll collector will have to resort to manually collecting
the fare from the user. Once the fare has been charged, the ticket
is kept aside and needs to be verified at the end of job. The
CLE in this case is used
to read the ticket and process the data from these tickets. Here
the tickets, which have been collected, are fed one at a time
into the CLE.
