A multi-functional apparatus for determining the class of a vehicle that can be used in a toll road collecting system. The apparatus for determining vehicle class according to the present invention includes a vehicle sensor, a vehicle separator installed along both sides of the lane, an axle detector using four switch contacts, a camera installed above the axle detector for photographing the vehicle as a reference image and photographing the vehicle when a first axle of the vehicle is sensed by the axle detector, and a vehicle class determiner that calculates the width and the length of the vehicle by using the difference value between the reference image and the vehicle image, determines the number of axles, and thus determines the class of the vehicle.This multi-functional apparatus not only determines the class of a vehicle, but because it uses photographic images to determine the length and width of a vehicle, it also generates evidence that can be used at a future date. Additionally, the above apparatus can be installed so that it effectively operates as a "rolling" toll collecting system. The multi-functional apparatus determines the class of various vehicles, minimizes errors in discriminating between vehicle classes, can be flexibly applied to various circumstances by modifying software, and can be efficiently maintained and managed.
