Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Fahrzeug-Parksystem mit einer zentralen Datenbank und wenigstens einem Datenterminal zum Senden und Empfangen von Daten an die bzw. von der Datenbank im Zusammenhang mit dem Parken eines Fahrzeuges auf einem Stellplatz oder in einem Parkbereich.The invention relates to a vehicle parking system with a central database and at least one data terminal for sending and receiving data to or from the database related to parking a car Vehicle in a parking space or in a parking area.

Die vor allem in Städten immer knapper werdenden Parkflächen müssen möglichst gerecht und effizient verteilt werden. Die immer höheren Anforderungen an Flexibilität und Leistungsumfang führte vielerorts bereits vor Jahren zum Ersatz der jeder Stellfläche zugeordneten mechanischen Parkuhren durch zentrale Parkscheinautomaten. Neben der heute noch allgemein üblichen Bargeldzahlung sind auch Parkscheinautomaten bekannt, bei denen als Zahlungsmittel eine Chipkarte oder eine Kreditkarte verwendet werden kann. Zur weiteren Rationalisierung und Erhöhung der Sicherheit sind zudem Systeme bekannt, bei denen beispielsweise alle Parkscheinautomaten einer Stadt mit einem zentralen Rechner verbunden sind. Als Übertragungsweg wird jeweils der wirtschaftlichste und sicherste gewählt, wobei grundsätzlich jeder geeignete Funkdienst, wie beispielsweise der Bündelfunk oder das G.S.M.-Netz, genutzt werden. Der Betriebszustand des einzelnen Parkscheinautomaten ist somit unter ständiger Kontrolle, so dass beispielsweise Betriebsstörungen sofort gemeldet werden und schnell geeignete Massnahmen eingeleitet werden können. Auch die Übertragung von unterschiedlichen Statistik- und Zahlungsdaten lässt sich über die Datenfernübertragung problemlos realisieren.Parking spaces, which are becoming increasingly scarce, especially in cities, have to be avoided distributed fairly and efficiently. The ever increasing demands flexibility and scope of services led many years ago to Replacement of the mechanical parking meters assigned to each floor space by central parking ticket machines. In addition to the cash payment that is still common today Parking ticket machines are also known, for which as a means of payment a chip card or credit card can be used. to Further rationalization and increased security are also systems known in which, for example, all parking ticket machines in a city are connected to a central computer. The transmission path is the most economical and safest chosen, basically any suitable Radio service, such as trunked radio or the G.S.M. network, is used become. The operating state of the individual parking ticket machine is thus under constant control so that, for example, breakdowns immediately be reported and suitable measures can be initiated quickly. Also the transfer of different statistics and payment data can be easily implemented via remote data transmission.

Aus der EP-B-0634039 ist ein Fahrzeug-Parksystem mit einer Datenbank bekannt. Dem Fahrer, dem zu parkenden Fahrzeug sowie jedem Stellplatz des Parkbereiches sind jeweils ein einzigartiger Code zugeordnet. Der Fahrer übermittelt beispielsweise über ein Mobiltelefon die ihm und seinem Fahrzeug zugeordneten Codes sowie den Code jenes Parkplatzes, der durch sein Fahrzeug belegt wird. Beim Verlassen des Parkplatzes übermittelt der Fahrer wiederum die genannten Codes, wodurch das Ende der Parkzeit festgelegt wird. Aus den an die Datenbank übermittelten Werten wird die Parkdauer zur Bestimmung der Parkgebühr errechnet, die einer ebenfalls in der Datenbank hinterlegten Adresse belastet wird.A vehicle parking system with a database is known from EP-B-0634039. The driver, the vehicle to be parked and each parking space of the Each parking area is assigned a unique code. The driver transmits to him and his vehicle via a mobile phone, for example assigned codes as well as the code of that parking space by his vehicle is occupied. When leaving the parking lot the driver transmits again the codes mentioned, which determines the end of the parking time. The parking time is determined from the values transmitted to the database calculated the parking fee, which is also stored in the database Address is charged.

Ein ähnliches System ist in der WO-A-9634366 offenbart. Zusätzlich kann über ein mit dem Fahrzeug verbundenes Identifikationsmittel wie z.B. ein Barcode durch einen Parkplatzaufseher über die Datenbank kontrolliert werden, ob die Parkgebühr bezahlt ist, d.h. ob ein bestimmtes Fahrzeug am System angemeldet worden ist.A similar system is disclosed in WO-A-9634366.
