A full indicator 134 for displaying that effect and a bulletin board 135 for the general public. The reader 131 reads the ID from the radio wave received by the antenna 11. The controller 132 determines whether or not to permit passage of the vehicle based on the ID read by the reader 131, and controls the entire system of this embodiment. The controller 132 is connected to the host computer 6 in the monitoring center. The general public notice board 135 describes that only the owner of the RFID card can use the parking lot, and that the person who does not have the RFID card can go outside through the vehicle exit 4.
[0010]
The second gate system 2 includes a gate 211 that is a gate, a gate board 21 that opens and closes the gate 211, three pairs of transmission-type sensors 22a, 22b, and 22c, an entrance monitoring camera 23 connected to a monitoring center, and And a loudspeaker 24. Note that a stop line 25 for guiding the vehicle in front of the gate 211 is drawn on the ground in front of the gate 211. As shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2, the gate board 21 includes a message display 212 that displays a message, and a gate driving device 213 that opens and closes the gate 211 based on a signal from the controller 132. As shown in FIG. 3, the transmission sensors 22a and 22b are installed on the front side of the stop line 25 at a predetermined interval in consideration of the overall length of a general vehicle. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the transmission sensor 22c is installed on the rear side of the gate 211 at a predetermined interval from the transmission sensor 22b in consideration of the overall length of a general vehicle.
[0011]
The third gate system 3 includes two pairs of transmission sensors 32a and 32b and an exit monitoring camera 33 connected to the monitoring center. As shown in FIG. 3, the transmission sensors 32a and 32b are installed on the front side of the exit at a predetermined interval in consideration of the overall length of a general vehicle.
[0012]
The vehicle exit 4 has two pairs of transmission sensors 42a and 42b. As shown in FIG. 3, the transmissive sensors 42 a and 42 b have either one of the projector and the light receiver installed in the first gate system 1 and the other installed in the second gate system 2. . The transmission sensors 42a and 42b are installed at predetermined intervals in consideration of the general length of a general vehicle.
[0013]
Next, the operation when the vehicle enters the parking lot will be described with reference to FIG. The flow shown in FIG. 5 starts when the vehicle enters the first gate system 1 according to the arrow A shown in FIG. Normally, the gate 211 is in a closed state.
[0014]
First, the controller 132 determines whether or not the vehicle is in front of the antenna 11 (step S1). This determination is made based on whether or not both the transmissive sensors 12a and 12b are off. As described above, the transmissive sensors 12a and 12b are installed on both sides of the antenna 11 at predetermined intervals in consideration of the general length of a vehicle. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), when both the transmission sensors 12a and 12b are off, the vehicle is stopped along the draw line 15, so that the projectors of the transmission sensors 12a and 12b It can be considered that the light emitted from is blocked by the vehicle. By installing the two sensors in consideration of the total length of the vehicle in this way, it is possible to prevent a person or a bicycle in front of the antenna 11 from misidentifying that the vehicle is in front of the antenna 11. it can.
[0015]
If it is determined in step S1 that the vehicle is in front of the antenna 11, the reader 131 reads the ID based on the radio wave received by the antenna 11 (step S2). As described above, the system of this embodiment uses the RFID card that exchanges information using the radio frequency, so that the vehicle occupant can cause the reader to read the ID without getting off the vehicle. Next, the controller 132 determines whether or not the ID has been read within a predetermined time (step S3). This determination is made based on whether or not the controller 132 has received an ID within a predetermined time.
[0016]
If it is determined in step S3 that ID reading has not been performed within a predetermined time, the controller 132 determines whether or not ID reading NG is the first time (step S4). When the ID reading NG is the first time, that is, when the processing in step S3 is performed only once, the electronic sound generator 133 cannot read the ID based on the signal from the controller 132, for example, so that the card is re-read. Is output (step S5), and then the process proceeds to step S2. On the other hand, when the ID reading NG is the second time, the process proceeds to step S7.
[0017]
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S3 that the ID has been read within a predetermined time, the controller 132 determines whether or not to allow the vehicle to pass based on the ID received from the reader 131 ( Step S6). The controller 132 incorporates a memory in which the ID of a person who is permitted to park in advance is registered, and the controller 132 compares the ID received from the reader 131 with the ID registered in the memory, so It is determined whether or not to be permitted. Note that the ID registered in the controller 132 can be rewritten by the host computer 6 connected to the controller 132. When it is determined that the gate should be permitted, the process proceeds to step S10, and when it is determined that the gate should not be permitted, the process proceeds to step S7.
[0018]
In step S <b> 7, the electronic sound generator 133 generates an NG sound “pipip ...”, for example, based on the signal from the controller 132. Thereafter, the red / blue signal indicator lamp 14 turns on the red signal based on the signal from the controller 132 (step S8). As a result, the vehicle occupant knows in the first gate system 1 that his / her vehicle is not accessible. In this case, the vehicle can go out through the vehicle exit 4.
[0019]
Next, the controller 132 determines whether or not the vehicle has passed through the vehicle exit 4 (step S9). This determination is made based on whether both the transmissive sensors 42a and 42b are turned on after both are turned off. As described above, the transmission sensors 42a and 42b are installed at predetermined intervals in consideration of the general length of a general vehicle. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), when both the transmission sensors 42a and 42b are off, the vehicle is passing through the vehicle exit 4, so that the light emitted from the projectors of the transmission sensors 42a and 42b is emitted. It can be considered that the emitted light is blocked by the vehicle, and if both are subsequently turned on, it can be considered that the vehicle has passed through the vehicle exit 4. If it is determined in step S9 that the vehicle has passed through the vehicle exit 4, this flow ends.
[0020]
In step S10, the controller 132 determines whether the parking lot is full. This determination method will be described later. When it is determined that the parking lot is full, the electronic sound generator 133 outputs a message indicating that the parking lot is full based on a signal from the controller 132 (step S11), and then the process proceeds to step S8. On the other hand, if it is determined that the parking lot is not full, the process proceeds to step S12.
[0021]
In step S <b> 12, the electronic sound generator 133 generates an OK sound such as “ping pong” based on the signal from the controller 132. Thereafter, the red / blue signal indicator lamp 14 turns on the blue signal based on the signal from the controller 132 (step S13). As a result, the vehicle occupant knows in the first gate system 1 that his / her vehicle is accessible. In this case, the vehicle can proceed to the second gate system 2.
[0022]
Next, the controller 132 determines whether or not the vehicle is in front of the gate 211 (step S14). This determination is made based on whether or not both the transmissive sensors 22a and 22b are off. As described above, the transmission sensors 22a and 22b are installed on the front side of the stop line 25 at a predetermined interval in consideration of the overall length of a general vehicle. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4C, when both the transmission sensors 22a and 22b are off, the vehicle is stopped before the stop line 25, so that the projectors of the transmission sensors 22a and 22b It can be considered that the emitted light is blocked by the vehicle. If it is determined that the vehicle is in front of the gate 211, the gate driving device 213 opens the gate 211 based on a signal from the controller 132 (step S15). At this time, the controller 132 displays a message for opening the gate 211 on the message display 212.
[0023]
Next, the controller 132 determines whether or not the vehicle has passed through the gate 211 (step S16). This determination is made based on whether both the transmissive sensors 22b and 22c are turned on after both are turned off. As described above, the transmissive sensors 22b and 22c are arranged at predetermined intervals in consideration of the overall length of a general vehicle, and the transmissive sensors 22c are installed on the rear side of the gate 211. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4 (c), when both the transmissive sensors 22b and 22c are off, the vehicle is passing through the gate 211, so the light is emitted from the projector of the transmissive sensors 22b and 22c. It can be considered that the light is blocked by the vehicle, and if both are subsequently turned on, it can be considered that the vehicle has passed through the gate 211. If it is determined that the vehicle has passed the gate 211, the number of parked vehicles is incremented by one (step S17). The controller 132 has a built-in counter, and the controller 132 increases the counter value by one each time the vehicle passes through the gate 211.
[0024]
Next, the gate drive device 213 closes the gate 211 based on the signal from the controller 132 (step S18). At this time, the controller 132 displays a message to close the gate 211 on the message display 212.
[0025]
Next, the controller 132 determines whether or not the parking lot is full (step S19). This determination is made based on whether or not the count value of the counter incorporated in the controller 132 has exceeded the maximum capacity of the parking lot. If it is determined that the parking lot is not full, this flow ends. On the other hand, when it is determined that the parking lot is full, the full indicator 134 displays that the parking lot is full based on the signal from the controller 132 (step S20), and then this flow ends.
[0026]
Next, the operation when the vehicle leaves the parking lot will be described with reference to FIG. The flow shown in FIG. 6 starts when the vehicle enters the third gate system 3 according to the arrow B shown in FIG.
[0027]
First, the controller 132 determines whether or not the vehicle has passed the exit (step S51). This determination is made based on whether or not both the transmissive sensors 32a and 32b are turned on again after being turned off. As described above, the transmission sensors 32a and 32b are installed at predetermined intervals in consideration of the general length of a general vehicle. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), when both the transmission sensors 32a and 32b are off, the vehicle is passing through the exit, so the light emitted from the projectors of the transmission sensors 32a and 32b. Can be considered as being blocked by the vehicle, and if both are subsequently turned on, it can be considered that the vehicle has passed the exit.
[0028]
If it is determined in step S51 that the vehicle has passed through the exit, the controller 132 decrements the count value of the counter incorporated in the controller 132 by 1, thereby subtracting the number of parked vehicles by one (step S52). Next, the controller 132 determines whether or not the parking lot is full (step S53). If it is determined that the parking lot is full, this flow ends. On the other hand, when it is determined that the parking lot is not full, the controller 132 turns off the display indicating that the parking lot is full on the full indicator 134 (step S54). This flow ends.
[0029]
According to the present embodiment, first, in the first gate system 1, when the vehicle passenger causes the reader 131 to read the ID of the card distributed in advance, the controller 132 permits the gate based on this ID. It is determined whether or not the vehicle is a power vehicle. Then, the electronic sound generator 133 and the red / blue signal indicator lamp 14 inform the vehicle occupant of the determination result of the controller 132. Next, in the second gate system 2, when the vehicle is detected by the transmission type sensors 22 a and 22 b, the gate driving device 213 opens the gate 211 based on a signal from the controller 132. As a result, only vehicles that are allowed to pass through can be stored in the parking lot, and therefore, unmanned storage management can be performed even in parking lots or the like that limit the vehicles that can be stored to a specific one. . In addition, in the first gate system 1, the vehicle occupant can know whether his / her vehicle is accessible through the electronic sound generator 133 and the red / blue signal indicator lamp 14.
