JP4295287B2 - Public road parking management system and public road parking management method - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a public road parking management system for managing parking restrictions and parking permission in a parking prohibition area, a parking prohibition area, and a parking permission area outside these areas on public roads such as national roads, prefectural roads, municipal roads, and the like. It relates to public road parking management methods.

  In general, on-street parking is prohibited on the main roads in urban areas for traffic safety, etc., but on the side roads, it is necessary for each store to carry goods regularly, and the traffic volume is compared according to the time of day. It will be less. Therefore, on the basis of individual road conditions, areas that can be parked on the road are stipulated by the regulations only for a short time or a predetermined time zone. Therefore, a parking meter is installed on the side of the roadway and the parking area is painted on the shoulder so that the driver can properly park the vehicle in the area.

That is, if a predetermined parking fee is charged into the parking meter, the parking violation is not made only within the display time displayed on the parking meter. In such public road parking, there is a need to reduce the time and effort required by administrative organizations to circulate each parking meter and the collection of cash stored in the toll box. Has been.
However, managing a parking meter is costly and time-consuming, so the position of the car is measured using GPS, and driving is performed when the measured position is a toll road or an area where parking is possible for a fee. A road surface pay service information providing / billing system has been proposed that charges tolls on toll roads and parking fees for parking on public roads based on applications from a network via a network (see, for example, Patent Document 1) ).
JP 2004-341715 A

  By the way, in areas where parking and parking are prohibited, police have been cracked down. For example, a document for requesting the police to appear is attached to a car. In this case, since there is no driver, the driver cannot be requested to move the car, and the parking violation state continues. In some cases, the towed vehicle may be forcibly moved to the parking lot by the tow truck movement, and in this case, the parking violation state is eliminated.

In addition, police enforcement is not sufficient, the enforcement location and enforcement time are extremely limited, even if the parking of the car has a negative impact on the use of public roads is left unattended There is.
On the other hand, since only a small part of parking violators are subject to crackdown, the enforcement of the law has become extremely unfair, and the violators who have been cracked up will think that they were unlucky. It is not possible to fully recognize the importance of avoiding parking in areas where parking is prohibited for smooth traffic on public roads.
In addition, even if a document requesting the appearance of parking violations is attached to the car, it will be ignored by the police without appearing and there will be no payment of a penalty for parking violations. It is supposed to be.
In other words, in addition to managing parking of vehicles in areas where parking on public roads is permitted, management of parking of vehicles in areas where parking is prohibited has been desired. There was no system for reliably managing vehicle parking in both prohibited areas.

  The present invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and not only enables parking at a location where parking on public roads is permitted, and charging according to parking, without installing a parking meter or the like. Allow parking violators to be alerted to parking violations, request that they move their vehicles, and charge offenses for violators who do not respond to warnings and do not attempt to clear parking violations An object is to provide a public road parking management system and a public road parking management method.

In order to achieve the above object, the public road parking management system according to claim 1 includes, as parking restriction information indicating public road parking restriction, parking prohibited permission position information indicating a parking prohibited area and a parking permitted area, and parking. Parking fee for which a fine is set in accordance with the position of the prohibited parking area indicated in the prohibited parking position information and parking fee is set in accordance with the position of the parking permitted area indicated in the prohibited parking position information.

Equipped with a,
The vehicle position measuring means is based on a GPS position measuring device mounted on the vehicle and measuring the position of the vehicle, an installation position including an error measured by data received from a GPS satellite, and a known installation position. A GPS fixed receiving station that corrects vehicle position information by the GPS position measuring device and improves its accuracy,
The parking regulation information storage means stores public road position information that is information on the position of the side edge of the public road,
The parking prohibition permission determining means determines whether the parking start information is input from the parking determination means before determining whether the parking start area is a parking prohibited area or a parking permitted area for the vehicle to which the parking start information is input. The public road position information stored in the parking regulation information storage means is measured by the vehicle position measurement means with respect to the vehicle to which the vehicle is inputted and based on the vehicle position information whose accuracy is improved by the GPS fixed reception station. To determine whether the position indicated in the vehicle position information is within a public road or outside the public road, and if the determination result is outside the public road, the process is terminated without determining whether the parking prohibited area or the parking permitted area. It is characterized by that.

According to the above configuration, when the vehicle is parked on the public road, the vehicle is determined to be parked, and the position of the vehicle determined to be parked is specified. Here, for the determination of parking, for example, after the vehicle stops, the door of the vehicle is opened, the engine is stopped (except for idling stop cars and hybrid cars), the engine key is turned off, and the stop position on the public road (for example, , Road shoulder, in this case using GPS and well-known methods to improve its accuracy), leaving the driver, elapse of a predetermined time (for example, 2 to 5 minutes), movement of surrounding vehicles (stopping in traffic jams) The determination is made on the condition that it is detected by a detection device. It should be noted that parking can be determined by combining a plurality of conditions, or parking can be determined based on the condition that is established earliest in a state where a plurality of conditions can be detected.
Next, it is determined whether the parked vehicle is in a parking prohibited area or a parking permitted area.
And the driver | operator of a vehicle is alert | reported whether the parked place is a parking prohibition area or a parking permission area.

As a result, when a vehicle driver parks in a parking prohibited area, the vehicle driver is warned that the vehicle is stopped in the parking prohibited area and is prompted to move the vehicle, thereby suppressing parking violation. Can do. In addition, when notifying parking prohibition, you may actually warn of parking violation and may notify so that a vehicle may move.
Next, if the vehicle does not move even after a predetermined time has passed after the above notification is made, a penalty fee is calculated for a parking prohibited area, and a parking fee is calculated for a parking permitted area. Is done. The parking fee is set according to the position of the parking permission area. Depending on the position of the parking permission area, the parking fee is required for parking in all parking permission areas by setting the parking fee to 0. There is no such thing as. Basically, a parking fee is required for parking only in a part of the parking permission area. Moreover, it is good also as what registers a parking permission area separately in a free permission area and a pay permission area beforehand.

Next, based on a pre-registered settlement method, settlement of the penalty fee and parking fee is performed. This payment method is, for example, a surrogate or parking fee collection by a credit card company or telephone company that the vehicle owner or driver has applied in advance for registration, and the owner of the vehicle by these credit card company or telephone company. And automatic withdrawal from the driver's bank account.
It should be noted that electronic money may be used for payment, or automatic withdrawal may be made directly from a bank account. In addition, the owner and driver of the vehicle can be challenged for the settlement of the fines and the parking fee, and when the significance is claimed, the data in the public road parking management system and the status of the parking location are It is preferable that the penalty money and parking fee can be refunded by screening.
From the above, in vehicles under the management of the public road parking management system, it is possible to collect parking fees without the need for a parking meter, reducing costs and labor, and against parking violators, The penalty money will be applied fairly, and the injustice of violators can be eliminated.

  In addition, parking is prohibited in the state where the driver who has just parked is still in the vehicle (including the state where the door is opened and the driver's seat is left) by using the opening of the door or the stop of the engine as the parking judgment. Since it can be notified that the vehicle is parked in the area, the driver can be surely notified that the vehicle is parked (stopped) in the parking prohibited area. That is, it is possible to warn the driver of parking violation and to reliably request the vehicle to move outside the parking prohibited area.

In addition, by performing parking determination using the detection device, it is possible to determine parking even if the driver of the vehicle does not apply for parking by himself / herself using a communication device or the like. You can also charge a fine for vehicles that are illegally parked without an application.
The parking determination means may output the identification information together when outputting the parking start information, but when the vehicle position measurement means receives the parking start information, By outputting the vehicle position information and the identification information, it may be considered that the parking determination means does not necessarily need to output the identification information.

The invention according to claim 2 is the public road parking management system according to claim 1,
In the parking prohibition permission position information, parking permission time information indicating the maximum parking time allowed for parking corresponding to the position of the parking permission area, and parking in an area where parking prohibition and parking permission are switched depending on the date and time are permitted. Prohibition permission switching information indicating the permission start date and time and the prohibition start date and time when parking is prohibited,
In the penalty fee billing information and parking fee billing information, the penalty fee and parking fee are set so that the amount increases corresponding to the passage of parking time,
The parking prohibition permission determining means determines from the parking release determining means after determining that the parking position is permitted by the vehicle position measured by the vehicle position measuring means of the vehicle determined to be parked by the parking determining means. When the maximum parking time has elapsed without entering parking end information, it is determined that parking is prohibited,
In addition, in the case where the vehicle position measured by the vehicle position measuring unit of the vehicle determined to be parked by the parking determination unit is an area where parking prohibition and parking permission are switched according to the date and time, parking permission or parking is performed based on the current date and time. After determining whether it is prohibited and determining that parking is permitted, if the parking start information is reached without inputting the parking end information from the parking cancellation determination means, it is determined that parking is prohibited,
When the parking prohibition permission notifying unit determines that the parking prohibition is permitted after the parking prohibition permission determining unit determines that the parking permission is permitted, the parking prohibition permission notifying unit notifies that the parking prohibition is prohibited from the parking permission,
The penalty money and parking fee calculation means displays the penalty money and parking fee corresponding to the passage of time until the parking end information is input from the parking release determination means to the vehicle that has started calculating the penalty money and parking fee. Calculate to increase,
And parking based on the parking fee billing information when the parking end information is not input from the parking release means within a predetermined time after the parking prohibition permission notifying means notifies that parking is prohibited from parking permission. The calculation is switched from the calculation of the fee to the calculation of the fine based on the fine fee charging information.

According to the above configuration, as the parking time becomes longer, the penalty money and the parking fee increase. Therefore, the driver can be urged to cancel the parking violation state by increasing the penalty money. Also, by increasing the parking fee according to the parking time in the parking permission area, it is possible to prompt the driver to park for a short time and increase the chances of parking in areas where parking is insufficient. be able to.
Also in the parking permission area, it is not allowed to park for a long time with a specific vehicle, that is, to occupy a public road, the maximum parking time is set, and the maximum parking time after starting parking When the time has elapsed, the driver will be notified, but in this case, the driver is likely to be absent from the vehicle, and the vehicle driver as a parking prohibition permission notification means or a part thereof. Alternatively, it is preferable to use a mobile phone owned by the owner.

  In addition, if the maximum parking time has elapsed and the parking is continued even if the maximum parking time has passed, a penalty fee will be charged. In this case, if the parking fee is charged first, a penalty fee is added to the parking fee. In addition, when the parking prohibition permission notification means is a mobile phone, if the driver does not answer the mobile phone, it will be in a state where notification is not possible, but when the processing for notification is performed, the situation and response of the driver Even if the notification becomes impossible due to the above, it is preferable to start charging the penalty fee.

  In addition, even in parking prohibited areas where parking is permitted only at night or when parking is permitted depending on the season, by comparing the start date and time of prohibition, the start date and time of prohibition with the current (parked) date and time, parking is prohibited correctly. In the same way as when the maximum parking time has elapsed, it is possible to determine whether the parking is permitted, and to notify the driver when the parking permission is switched to the parking prohibition, and to charge a fine.

When the parking prohibition permitted position information is searched based on the parking prohibition level, the parking prohibition level included in the parking prohibition permitted position information is searched based on the vehicle position information, and the parking prohibition level is determined together with the determination result and the identification information. Output
When the parking prohibition level output from the parking prohibition permission determining means is equal to or higher than a predetermined level, the identification is performed in order to request a wrecker movement of a vehicle parked in a parking prohibited area where the parking prohibition level is equal to or higher than the predetermined level. An external transmission means for transmitting the vehicle information stored in the vehicle information storage means based on the information and the vehicle position information to the outside is provided.

According to the above configuration, the parking prohibition level is set based on the degree of impact on traffic on public roads when vehicles are illegally parked in the parking prohibition area, and the impact on traffic etc. When a vehicle is parked in a place above a predetermined parking prohibition level where the situation becomes serious, this can be notified to the outside, for example, a public organization such as the police. Thereby, for example, the wrecker movement of the vehicle parked at the position where the parking prohibition level is high can be performed by a public institution or a contractor entrusted by the public institution.
Therefore, it is possible to respond quickly without leaving a vehicle parked in a parking prohibited area having a serious impact on traffic. In addition, it does not move towed because it happened to be parked in the controlled area during the crackdown, but towed when parked in a parking prohibited area where the impact on traffic is serious. Can be prevented.

As a result, parking violations can be prevented, and it is possible to apply fouls without being unfair to vehicles under the control of the public road parking management system. Can be prevented.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining a schematic configuration example of a public road parking management system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The public road parking management system of the present invention violates parking by notifying a vehicle 1 parked on a public road whether the parking position is a parking prohibited area where parking is prohibited or a parking permitted area where parking is permitted. Park the vehicle 1 that will continue to park in the pay-permitted parking area where parking is permitted in the parking-permitted area, especially in the parking-permitted area. A fee is charged. The vehicle 1 in this example is an automobile and does not include a motorcycle such as a motorcycle. However, the vehicle 1 may include a large motorcycle.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the public road parking management system of the present invention includes an in-vehicle device 2 installed in a vehicle 1 managed by the public road parking management system, and a management base device 42 installed in a fixed base station 41. And a communication facility that enables wireless communication of information between the in-vehicle device 2 and the management base device 42.

  The in-vehicle device 2 includes a plurality of detection devices 3 for determining that the vehicle 1 is parked, a GPS position measurement device 4 as vehicle position measurement means for measuring the position of the vehicle 1, and a driver of the vehicle 1. As part of a wireless communication facility for performing wireless communication of information between the audio output device 5 and the display 6 as parking prohibition permission notification means for notifying various kinds of information, and the in-vehicle device 2 and the management base device 42 Wireless communication device 7, these detection device 3, GPS position measurement device 4, sound output device 5, display 6, and in-vehicle control device 8 that controls wireless communication device 7.

  The detection device 3 is connected to the speed reading unit of the speedometer of the vehicle 1 and is installed in the vehicle speed detection device 31 for detecting the vehicle speed and the door lock mechanism unit, and the door is changed from the closed state to the open state. The door opening detection device 32 to detect, the seat separation detection device 33 that is installed in the driver's seat and detects the driver's departure by any of weight change, temperature change, and image recognition, and the engine key switch is turned off. And a key-off detection device 34 for detecting the above.

  The vehicle speed detection device 31 is used for parking determination and parking cancellation determination. When the vehicle speed is changed from 0 to 0, it is used for parking determination as a movement stop of the vehicle 1, and the absolute value of the vehicle speed is 0 to 0. The larger value is used for the determination of parking release as the start of movement of the vehicle 1. That is, one condition for determining parking is that the absolute value of the vehicle speed is changed from a value greater than 0 to 0, and one condition for determining parking release is that the absolute value of the vehicle speed is increased from 0 to greater than 0.

  The vehicle speed detecting device 31 may be any device that can detect movement such as rotation caused by transmission of driving force in a mechanism on the wheel side from a driving transmission connecting device such as an engine such as a clutch. There is no need to be able to detect it accurately. That is, it is only necessary to detect the movement stop and movement start of the vehicle from the motion state of the drive system that is always connected to the wheels.

The door open detection device 32 is used for determining parking by detecting that the vehicle 1 is parked and the door is opened when the driver or passenger gets off, and the movement of the door in the opening direction is detected. It consists of a contact switch to detect and an optical sensor. Opening the door is one condition for determining parking.
The absence detection device 33 parks the vehicle 1 and detects parking by detecting that the driver leaves to get off, and changes in weight or temperature on the seating surface due to leaving the seat. Alternatively, the driver's absence is determined based on a change in the image when the driver's seat is photographed using the image sensor. In addition, the driver's absence is one condition for parking determination.
The key-off detection device 34 parks the vehicle 1 and determines parking by detecting that the engine key is turned off in order to stop the engine. Become one.

  The GPS position measurement device 4 may also be a part of the detection device 3 for parking determination and parking release determination. One condition for parking determination is that the vehicle position is stopped in the GPS position measurement device 4. In addition, the fact that the position of the vehicle that has been stopped in the GPS position measurement device 4 has moved may be set as one condition for the parking release determination. On the management base device 42 side, since the position information of longitude and latitude output from the GPS position measuring device 4 can be received from each in-vehicle device 2 as described later, the vehicle whose measurement position has stopped 1 and when the measurement position of the other vehicle 1 that has moved in substantially the same direction until the vehicle 1 is stopped is determined to be parked, and the measurement position of the other vehicle 1 is also stopped. May be determined as a stop of the vehicle 1 due to a red light or traffic jam.

  Further, as will be described later, the GPS position measurement device 4 may improve the GPS accuracy from a meter unit to a centimeter unit by using a known GPS accuracy improvement method. In this case, measure whether the position of the vehicle 1 measured by the GPS position measuring device 4 is a position of a traffic zone from the central part of a public road or a position of a road belt or a parking zone where parking is permitted for a fee. It is also possible to determine that the vehicle 1 is parked when the measurement position of the vehicle 1 is stopped and the measurement position of the vehicle 1 is a road shoulder or a parking zone. The determination of parking is performed by the vehicle-mounted control device 8 connected to each of the detection devices 3 and the GPS position measurement device 4 described above, and the vehicle-mounted control device 8 and each of the detection devices 3 (GPS position measurement described above). The device 4 (which may include the device 4) serves as parking determination means for determining whether or not the vehicle 1 is parked.

  In the determination of parking, whether the position of the vehicle 1 is on the public road or the outside of the public road is a problem, and it is necessary to determine whether the position is on the public road or outside the public road based on the vehicle position measured by the GPS position measuring device 4. . This determination may be performed on the in-vehicle control device 8 side, but in this case, detailed position data is necessary so that the left and right side edge positions of the public road can be known, and a storage device that stores this as a database is provided in the in-vehicle device. This is necessary on the device side, and increases the cost of the in-vehicle device. Here, as described later, it is determined whether the vehicle position parked on the management base device 42 side is a parking permission area or a parking prohibition area, and whether or not it is outside a public road. That is, the in-vehicle device 2 side determines whether the vehicle is parked or not, and determines whether the vehicle is parked or not, and transmits the vehicle position to the station installation side in the case of parking.

  Here, the problem in the parking judgment is that the vehicle 1 is parked in a parking lot facing a public road, such as a convenience store parking lot, where the vehicle 1 can be parked right next to the public road. Is the case. When the vehicle 1 is parked near a public road in such a parking lot, if the current GPS position measurement error is about 5 m, there is a high possibility that the vehicle 1 is erroneously determined to be parked on the public road. It becomes a thing. Therefore, if the accuracy of the GPS position is improved as described above, it is possible to determine whether the position is on the public road or outside the public road by measuring the position of the GPS.

  In addition, it communicates automatically with the vehicle-mounted control apparatus 8 of the vehicle-mounted apparatus 2 via the radio | wireless communication apparatus 7 of the vehicle-mounted apparatus 2 to parking spaces, such as each parking lot outside a public road, and notifies that it is outside a public road. It is good to have a radio station outside public roads, but in order to install a radio station outside public roads as described above in all parking areas that face public roads outside public roads in parking prohibited areas and toll parking permit areas, Since it takes time and effort, it is preferable to install a GPS fixed receiving station 44 (described later) necessary for improving the accuracy of GPS around the main station.

  As will be described later, after parking determination, a notification is made as to whether the parking position is forbidden parking or parking permission, and the in-vehicle device 2 is one of the detection devices 3 so that this notification is immediately performed. A parking application operating device may be provided. After the vehicle speed output from the vehicle speed detection device 31 becomes 0, when the driver operates the parking application operation device, an operation signal is output from the parking application operation device to the in-vehicle control device 8. You may make it the apparatus 8 determine with parking. Thereby, the driver | operator can receive notifications, such as the parking fee mentioned later, rapidly.

  The GPS position measuring device 4 is a position measuring device using a well-known GPS, for example, a well-known GPS car navigation device. In this case, it is assumed that the GPS receiving unit and the position calculating unit of the commercially available GPS car navigation device function as the GPS position measuring device 4 of the present invention, and the voice output device 5 and the display 6 of the GPS navigation device are prohibited from parking according to the present invention. It shall function as a permission notification means, and the control apparatus of a GPS car navigation apparatus shall function as the vehicle-mounted control apparatus 8 of this invention. That is, the function of the present invention is incorporated into the GPS car navigation apparatus in software.

  In addition, in applying the present invention to an automobile permitted to travel on all public roads as the vehicle 1, the car navigation function is not necessarily required, and the vehicle position information (for example, Any information that measures and outputs (latitude and longitude information) can be used. By not providing the navigation system, the GPS position measuring device 4 can be made extremely inexpensive, and the GPS position measuring device 4 may be incorporated at the time of manufacture in all automobiles that do not have the car navigation device installed at the time of factory shipment. Thus, the cost increase can be minimized.

  Further, a mobile phone having a GPS function (hereinafter referred to as a GPS mobile phone) may be used as the GPS position measuring means. In this case, the GPS mobile phone functions as a position measuring unit that measures the position of the automobile and also functions as the wireless communication device 7. Further, since the GPS mobile phone can be taken out of the vehicle, it is preferable that the GPS mobile phone can be checked in the vehicle. In addition, the above-mentioned GPS position measuring device 4 that can be mounted on the vehicle also has a portable GPS device (including a laptop computer having a GPS function or a PDA), and in the case of the portable GPS position measuring device 4, It is preferable to be able to check that the position measuring device is in the vehicle.

  For example, in the case of a GPS mobile phone or a portable GPS device, it is preferable that there is a device that is fixed in the vehicle, and the other on-vehicle devices described above can be connected to a GPS mobile phone or a portable GPS device. Therefore, a GPS mobile phone or a fixing device for detachably fixing the portable GPS device is provided in the vehicle, and a detection device that can determine whether or not it is set in the fixing device is a fixing device or a GPS mobile phone. It is provided on a telephone or a portable GPS device, and when a parking position is specified, it is assumed that it is fixed to a fixed device. Further, as described above, it is preferable that various types of connectors are provided in the fixing device and connected to other in-vehicle devices 2 so as to be able to transmit and receive data.

  Further, in the GPS mobile phone or portable GPS device, even if the current position of the GPS mobile phone or portable GPS device cannot be output as the parking position when taken out of the vehicle, the GPS mobile phone or portable GPS device It is preferable that the current position of the device can be confirmed to be a region where parking is permitted or a region where parking is prohibited. Thereby, it is possible to determine whether or not the parking position is prohibited from parking before the vehicle is actually parked at the parking position. For example, when a parking prohibition area and a parking permission area are complicated in the city, it is possible to search for a parking permission area before moving the vehicle.

Further, as described above, the GPS position measurement device 4 may incorporate a function for improving the position measurement accuracy by the known accuracy improvement method described above. However, the vehicle position information from the GPS position measurement device 4 of the vehicle 1 is transmitted via the wireless communication device 7 even if the function for improving the accuracy by the above-described known accuracy improvement method is not incorporated on the GPS position measurement device 4 side. After the reception at the management base apparatus 42 side, the accuracy can be improved by correcting the latitude and longitude of the vehicle position information received at the management base apparatus 42 side using a known accuracy improvement method. Therefore, in order to reduce the cost of each vehicle 1, it is preferable to improve the position accuracy on the management base device 42 side.
Here, when the vehicle position is actually output, since the identification information stored in the memory such as the ROM of the in-vehicle control device 8 is output together with the vehicle position information, the in-vehicle control device 8 and the GPS position are output. The configuration combined with the measuring device 4 functions as a vehicle position measuring unit that measures the position of the vehicle 1 and outputs vehicle position information indicating the measured position together with the identification information. When a GPS mobile phone is used, the phone number can be used as identification information.

The audio output device 5 and the display 6 are information on parking prohibition and parking permission determined as described later on the management base device 42 side, information on parking fees and fines, and parking permission areas around the parked place. This is for informing position information and the like.
As the audio output device 5 and the display 6, those incorporated in the car navigation device or GPS mobile phone as described above may be used in the present invention, or a dedicated device is attached to the vehicle 1. Also good.

  When the dedicated sound output device 5 and the display 6 are attached, the sound output device 5 is not a device that generates sound for converting text data into sound, for example, but a plurality of information stored in advance in a ROM or the like. It is also possible to use a device that selects and outputs voice from the message voice. Further, the display 6 is not necessarily a matrix type liquid crystal display 6 capable of displaying an image (for example, an active matrix TFT), but is a relatively inexpensive display 6 such as a segment type liquid crystal display 6 for text. Also good. In addition, the display 6 is good also as what has a touchpad (tablet) on the surface and functions as the above-mentioned parking application operation apparatus.

  The wireless communication device 7 is, for example, a cellular phone dedicated to data communication (including a PHS and a pager capable of two-way communication), and is managed by the cellular phone via a mobile communication network for the cellular phone. The information output from the in-vehicle control device 8 is transmitted to the communication device, and the information from the communication device of the management base device 42 is received. When a GPS mobile phone is used, the GPS mobile phone functions as the wireless communication device 7 as it is.

The in-vehicle control device 8 is composed of, for example, an MPU incorporated in the above-described GPS car navigation device, but may be dedicated for the in-vehicle device 2 of the present invention. By mass-producing the in-vehicle control device 8 of the same standard, the cost can be reduced, and even if it is installed in all automobiles, the cost increase due to this can be made small.
Further, when a GPS mobile phone is used, the in-vehicle control device 8 is composed of an MPU or the like incorporated in the GPS mobile phone. In this case, the program or script for realizing the function as the in-vehicle control device 8 of the present invention is stored in advance in a flash memory, EEPROM, or the like in the GPS mobile phone, and this program is set when the program is set in the above-described fixing device. Is preferably activated to perform position measurement and other processing.

The vehicle-mounted control device 8 includes a vehicle speed detection device 31, a door open detection device 32, a seat separation detection device 33, a key-off detection device 34, and a GPS position measurement device 4 (here, not as a car navigation device but a car navigation device). It is connected to a built-in position calculation unit using GPS or a single GPS position measurement device 4), and is output from the vehicle speed detection device 31, and is output from the vehicle speed signal indicating the vehicle speed, the door opening detection device 32, and from the door closing. A door opening signal indicating conversion to opening, output from the absence detection device 33, a driver leaving signal indicating driver's leaving, output from the key-off detection device 34, and switching the engine key from on to off. An engine-off signal, and a vehicle position signal indicating latitude and longitude input from the GPS position measuring device 4 are input.
When a GPS mobile phone is used, the vehicle speed detection device 31, the door opening detection device 32, the absence detection device 33, the key-off detection device 34, etc. are not directly connected, but are connected to other in-vehicle control devices. The GPS mobile phone and other in-vehicle control device may be combined to function as the in-vehicle control device 8 of this example. If the GPS mobile phone is provided with a short-range data communication device such as Bluetooth, it may be used to connect to other devices.

  The in-vehicle control device 8 changes the speed indicated by the vehicle speed signal output from the vehicle speed detection device 31 from other than 0 to 0 (the position output from the GPS position measurement device 4 does not move (due to an error). In addition to the above)), a predetermined time after the vehicle speed becomes zero, a door open signal input, a driver leave signal input, or an engine off signal input When entered, it is determined that the car is parked.

  Further, after determining that the vehicle is parked, the in-vehicle control device 8 changes the speed indicated by the vehicle speed signal output from the vehicle speed detection device 31 from 0 to above 0 (the position output from the GPS position measurement device 4). It may be determined that parking has been released by starting movement from the parked state.

  In addition, an audio output device 5, a display 6, and a wireless communication device 7 are connected to the in-vehicle control device 8. And when it determines with the vehicle-mounted apparatus 2 having parked the vehicle 1 as mentioned above, the radio | wireless communication apparatus 7 is controlled, and the parking start information which shows the parking start of the vehicle 1 and the vehicle 1 are identified. Identification information to be described later and vehicle position information indicating the position (latitude, longitude) of the vehicle 1 measured by the GPS position measuring device 4 are transmitted to the management base device 42. At this time, the GPS position measurement device 4 may transmit time information received from a GPS satellite. In particular, when the time received from the GPS satellite is necessary to improve the accuracy of position measurement, the time is always transmitted.

Moreover, the vehicle-mounted control apparatus 8 starts the movement from the state where the vehicle 1 is parked as described above, and controls the wireless communication device 7 to determine the parking start information indicating the parking start of the vehicle 1 when it is determined that the parking is released. Then, the identification information is transmitted to the management base device 42.
Further, the in-vehicle control device 8 is transmitted from the management base device 42 and received by the wireless communication device 7, information on the determination result of parking prohibition and parking permission, information on the parking fee and the penalty fee, Control of voice output and image (text) output, which mainly uses the information on the position of the parking permission area as voice from the voice output device 5 or displays it as text or an image on the display 6 is performed.
In addition to the voice output device 5 and the display 6 as parking prohibition permission notifying means provided in the in-vehicle device 2 and the data communication mobile phone as the wireless communication device 7, the mobile phone possessed by the driver of the vehicle 1 9 functions as a part of the parking prohibition permission notifying means of the public road parking management system of the present invention.
Note that the power source of the in-vehicle device 2 is supplied even when the engine key is turned off in the vehicle 1. Note that power may be supplied from a battery different from the battery of the vehicle 1.

When a GPS mobile phone is used, the GPS mobile phone functions not only as a position measuring unit but also as a function of the data communication mobile phone as the wireless communication device 7 and as a part of the parking prohibition permission notification unit. It may be combined with the telephone function.
When the GPS mobile phone is used as described above, the GPS position measuring device 4, the in-vehicle control device 8, the wireless communication device 7, the function as the voice output device 5 as the parking prohibition permission leaving means, and the display 6 are provided as one unit. Can be aggregated into mobile phones. That is, by consolidating many of the functions as an in-vehicle device of an automobile included in the public road parking management system of the present invention into a mobile phone, the apparatus required on the automobile side can be minimized. In addition, if you have a GPS mobile phone with a public road parking management system, you can receive the service of the public road parking management system even if you switch to a different car. It becomes possible to register in the public road parking management system.

A plurality of management base apparatuses 42 are installed for each area so that public roads can be divided and managed in a plurality of areas.
The management base device 42 is connected to a mobile communication network for mobile phones, and can be connected to a plurality of mobile phone radio lines simultaneously. As the parking restriction information indicating the parking restriction, a fine was set corresponding to the position of the parking prohibited area indicated by the parking prohibited area and the parking prohibited area 5a indicating the position of the parking prohibited area and the parking permitted area. Parking regulation information as parking regulation information storage means that stores parking fee billing information 5c in which a parking fee is set corresponding to the position of the parking permission area indicated by the penalty fee charging information 5b and the parking prohibition permission position information 5a is stored in a searchable manner. The database 51 is constructed, and the identification information for individually identifying the vehicles 1 that are permitted to pass on public roads and registered, the owner of the vehicle 1 corresponding to the identification information Vehicle as vehicle information storage means for storing vehicle information 5d of each vehicle 1 including searchable information indicating the payment method of the penalty fee and parking fee corresponding to the identification information and the vehicle manager information indicating the driver. The data server 50 in which the information database 52 is constructed, the GPS fixed receiving station 44 for correcting the vehicle position information by the GPS position measuring device 4 and improving the accuracy thereof, and the in-vehicle device 2 via the fixed communication station 43. The vehicle 1 is received by receiving the parking start information, the vehicle position information, the parking end information, etc. transmitted from the vehicle 1 and searching the parking regulation information database 51 and the vehicle information database 52 stored in the data server 50 based on these information. Determines whether or not the parking position is prohibited from parking, and performs a calculation related to the parking fee and the penalty charge. A computer system such as a computer system or a data server 50), and a charging agency that performs collection of charges by a public organization such as the police and a credit card company or a telephone company via a data line. And a communication terminal 45 (for communication with the outside of the public road parking management system) to be connected.

  Note that the fixed communication station 43, the data server 50, the GPS fixed reception station 44, the parking management control device 46, and the communication terminal 45, which are each facility constituting the management base device 42, are installed together in the same place. It is not necessary to be arranged, and they may be arranged at positions separated from each other. In this case, it is only necessary that each facility is connected to be able to perform data communication with a WAN as a wide area network. Further, the same number of facilities may not exist, and the number of facilities may be set individually as necessary. In particular, a large number of GPS fixed reception stations 44 may be installed as necessary, for example, at each station of the railway network, whereas only a few data servers 50 or the like may be installed. That is, the devices constituting the management base device 42 may be distributed.

  The fixed communication station 43 performs data communication with the mobile phone for data communication that becomes the wireless communication device 7 of each in-vehicle device 2 based on the control of the parking management control device 46. That is, it receives parking start information, vehicle position information, and parking end information from the in-vehicle device 2 side, and transmits information related to parking prohibition, parking permission, penalty, parking fee, parking permission area around the parking position, etc. Do.

In the data server 50, the parking regulation information database 51 and the vehicle information database 52 are constructed.
In the parking regulation information database 51, the above-described parking prohibition permitted position information 5a, penalty fee charging information 5b, parking fee charging information 5c, and public road position information are stored so as to be searchable based on the vehicle position. . In the parking prohibition permitted position information 5a, the parking prohibited area on the public road under management and the position information of the parking permitted area are stored as information on the range of the position indicated by latitude and longitude. Yes. In the road position information, the position of the center line of the road, (if there is a parking zone, location of the parking zone) shoulder position public roads and, and the position of the side edge of the road, respectively it latitude and longitude Is stored as a range of positions indicated by.

Further, in the parking prohibited area, the parking prohibited level is set in a plurality of stages such as 10 stages based on the degree of adverse influence on traffic due to parking for each subdivided position range.
The degree of adverse effects on traffic and the parking prohibition level based thereon are set by a public organization such as the police, for example. For example, an area where parking is currently prohibited is highly adversely affected by traffic, for example, the parking prohibition level is set to 6 or higher, and an area where parking is currently prohibited is set to 5 or lower. . Further, in an intersection, in a small curve of R, etc., the adverse effect on traffic is extremely high, the parking level is 10, and the parking prohibited area along a wide road with a small traffic volume is set to 1.

  For example, when the parking prohibition level is 8 or more (predetermined level), it is preferable to remove the parked vehicle 1, and if parking in a parking prohibition area with a parking prohibition level of 8 or higher is confirmed, communication is performed. From the terminal 45, a wrecker movement of the parked vehicle 1 is requested to a public organization such as the police or a trader who has been in business since the public organization.

In addition, in the penalty fee accounting information 5b described later, the penalty amount per unit time and the length of the unit time are set according to the parking prohibition level.
That is, as the parking prohibition level increases, the fouling amount per unit time increases or the unit time decreases.

  The position information of the parking permission area stored in the parking prohibition permission position information 5a is further divided into position information of the pay parking permission area and position information of the free parking permission area. The pay parking permission area is set in an area where people gather, such as a shopping street and a downtown area, and the other areas are free parking permission areas.

  For the parking permission area of the parking permission prohibition position information 5a, the maximum parking time is set as the parking permission time information in both the pay parking permission area and the free parking permission area, and parking has started. From now on, it becomes a parking violation when the maximum parking time has passed. The maximum parking time is set to be short in the pay parking permission area and long in the free parking permission area, for example. In addition, it is preferable that the maximum parking time be different between nighttime and daytime, and it is preferable that a different maximum parking time can be searched corresponding to the current time.

  Further, in this example, in the parking permission prohibition position information 5a, an area where the parking prohibition area and the parking permission area are interchanged according to the date and time (season, time) is set, and for these areas (position information), As prohibition permit replacement information, the start date and time of permission to switch from parking prohibition to parking permission and the prohibition start date and time to switch from parking permission to parking prohibition are stored, and the current time is required to search for parking prohibition and parking permission And When the current date and time is between the permission start date and time and the prohibition start date and time, it is determined that parking is permitted. When the current time is between the prohibition start date and time and the permission start date and time, parking is determined to be prohibited.

Further, when the prohibition start date and time is reached during parking, the determination is changed from parking permission to parking prohibition. In addition, if the parking permit date and time is reached during parking, the judgment may be changed from parking prohibition to parking permission. It is good also as what does not determine with permission.
Also, in areas where parking permission and parking prohibition are switched according to the date and time, the maximum parking time at the time of parking permission is set, and the earlier of the maximum parking time elapses and the prohibition start date and time is reached When the above condition is satisfied, it is determined that parking is prohibited.

  In addition, when the parking start information and the vehicle position information are input, the position indicated in the vehicle position information is within the public road. It is used to determine whether the vehicle is outside a public road. When the vehicle is on a public road, a parking permission determination is made whether it is a parking prohibited area or a parking permission area. There is no such thing.

  Further, it is determined from the vehicle position information using the above information whether the position of the public road is from the shoulder or from the center line, and accordingly, the position information from the vehicle 1 parked on the side edge side of the public road from the parked vehicle 1 It is determined whether or not there is a vehicle 1 and the parking position is closer to the center line than the shoulder, and there is a vehicle 1 parked from the vehicle 1 to the shoulder (side edge) (parking start information and vehicle position information are input) It is good also as what judges double parking.

The above-mentioned penalty charge information 5b includes, as described above, the unit time and the offense amount per unit time for each area where the parking prohibited area of the parking prohibited permitted position information 5a is further subdivided and the parking prohibited level is set. It is set, and it is possible to search for the unit time and the offense amount per unit time from the vehicle position information.
Therefore, when parking in a parking prohibited area, a penalty amount per unit time is added every unit time from the start of parking until the end of parking. This prompts the parking violator to move the vehicle 1 as soon as possible.

In the parking fee billing information 5c, the unit time and the amount of parking fee per unit time are set for each pay parking permission area of the parking permission area of the parking prohibition permission position information 5a as in the case of a fine. It is possible to search for the unit time and the amount of parking fee per unit time from the vehicle position information. The parking fee is extremely low compared to the penalty fee.
In addition, the unit time for calculating the parking fee and the amount of parking fee per unit time are basically set according to the amount of the parked vehicle 1, and the number of parked vehicles 1 on public roads is large. In the area where there are many parked vehicles 1, the unit time is shortened and the parking fee per unit time is increased. In the area where there are few parked vehicles 1, compared to the area where there are many parked vehicles 1. The unit time is longer and the parking fee per unit time is lower. This is to promote replacement of the parked vehicles 1 by prompting each parked vehicle 1 to park in a short time in an area where there are many parked vehicles 1 so that as many vehicles 1 can park as possible.

  From the above, the parking restriction information database 51 built in the data server 50 includes the parking prohibition permitted position information 5a indicating the position of the parking prohibited area and the parking permitted area as the parking restriction information indicating the parking restriction of the public road, and the parking. The penalty charge information 5b that sets the penalty corresponding to the position of the parking prohibited area indicated in the prohibition permitted position information 5a, and the parking fee corresponding to the position of the parking permitted area indicated in the parking prohibited permission position information 5a The parking regulation information storage means stores the set parking fee billing information 5c in an updatable manner.

The parking prohibition permission position information 5a includes parking permission time information indicating the maximum parking time in which parking is permitted corresponding to the position of the parking permission area, and parking in an area where parking prohibition and parking permission are switched according to the date and time. The prohibition permission switching information indicating the permission start date and time when parking is prohibited and the prohibition start date and time when parking is prohibited is included.
Also, in the penalty fee billing information 5b and the parking fee billing information 5c, the penalty fee and the parking fee are set so that the amount increases as the parking time elapses.
The parking prohibition permission position information 5a includes information on a parking prohibition level set in advance corresponding to the position of the parking prohibition area.

In the vehicle information database 52 of the data server 50, identification information that is an ID for identifying the vehicle 1, a registration number (number of the number plate) of the vehicle 1, and the vehicle 1 that is responsible for the operation of the vehicle 1. Name, address, phone number, mobile phone number, and mobile phone e-mail address of the owner vehicle or vehicle 1 (the mobile phone number of the mobile phone carried by the person responsible and part of the parking prohibition permission notification means), etc. The person in charge of the vehicle, the person in charge of the vehicle, and the contact information indicating the telephone number of the mobile phone for data communication, which is the wireless communication device 7 of the in-vehicle device 2; And the payment method information indicating the credit card company's company name and credit card number, or the above-mentioned mobile phone for data communication and the phone number as information indicating the parking fee payment method, and an example As defined, with no parking permission position information 5a of the above, even in position is the parking prohibited, and exception information as exceptions indicating the position where the parking is permitted is stored for this vehicle 1.
In addition, in the vehicle information database 52, at least one of the phone number of the mobile phone carried by the driver and the e-mail address of the mobile phone in order to notify the driver who has left the vehicle that parking is prohibited. Is registered. Further, the vehicle information database 52 may include vehicle type information indicating a vehicle type (including name and manufacturer name), color, and the like.

And each data of the vehicle information database 52 is matched with identification information, and can be searched based on the identification information transmitted from the vehicle-mounted apparatus 2.
In addition, in the exception information, for example, a large vehicle such as a large bus or a large truck, which has a large impact on the traffic due to parking compared to a passenger vehicle, parking is prohibited for large vehicles even if it is a parking permission area for passenger cars. You may make it be said.

  In the parking regulation information database 51, the parking prohibited areas of large vehicles (large trucks, large buses, etc.) and small vehicles (passenger cars, small trucks, small buses, etc.) may be different. The identification information is different for each vehicle, and the parking regulation information is different for large and small vehicles. And when searching with the identification information of a large vehicle, the parking regulation information for large vehicles is searched, and when searching with the identification information of a small vehicle, the parking regulation information for small vehicles is searched. Thereby, the parking prohibition area of a large vehicle and a small vehicle can be made different. Further, the parking prohibited area may be different in three or more stages based on the longitudinal length and the lateral width of the automobile, instead of making the automobile different in two stages of a large car and a small car. In addition, to make the parking prohibited area different here means that a part of the parking permitted area for small cars is a parking prohibited area for large cars, and the area that becomes a parking prohibited area for small cars is Even large vehicles are prohibited from parking.

From the above, the vehicle information database 52 constructed in the data server 50 includes the identification information for individually identifying the vehicles 1 registered to be allowed to pass on public roads, and the vehicle corresponding to the identification information. Vehicle information storage storing vehicle information 5d of each vehicle 1 including vehicle manager information indicating the owner or driver of the vehicle 1 and payment information indicating the payment method of the penalty fee and parking fee corresponding to the identification information Means.
Further, the vehicle information storage means includes exception information indicating an exception rule in which a parking prohibited area at a specific position is a parking permitted area corresponding to the identification information. The vehicle information storage means stores at least one of a telephone number and a mail address of the mobile phone of the owner of the vehicle 1 corresponding to the identification information.

  The GPS fixed receiving station 44 is used to correct the position measured by the GPS and increase the accuracy of the measured position, and the installation position (latitude / longitude) is measured in advance with high accuracy. A position measurement value using GPS within a preset distance of the GPS fixed reception station 44 using a position containing almost no known error and a position containing an error measured by data received from a GPS satellite. As a well-known technique, an error in the cm unit is known. In this example, it is not necessary to increase the accuracy so much. For example, it may be about 1 m that can be obtained by commercial remote sensing of an artificial satellite or about 0.5 m as 10 times the current GPS accuracy.

  Further, in this example, in consideration of cost reduction of the GPS position measurement device 4 on the in-vehicle device 2 side, the position correction is performed not on the on-vehicle device 2 side but on the management base device 42 side. In this case, if the received data from the GPS satellite is required for the correction of the measurement position, the raw data received from the GPS satellite may be transferred as it is from the in-vehicle device 2 to the management base device 42. In this case, the GPS position measuring device 4 simply becomes a data receiving device from a GPS satellite, and is further inexpensive. On the other hand, it becomes difficult to use a commercially available GPS car navigation device. In this case, the inexpensive receiving device may be retrofitted, and the cost due to this is small. In this case, the vehicle position information transmitted from the in-vehicle device 2 (GPS position measuring means) to the management base device 42 (parking prohibition permission determining means) is not latitude / longitude but received data from GPS satellites. .

The GPS fixed reception station 44 has higher accuracy from known position information of itself, received data directly received from a GPS satellite, and vehicle position information transmitted from the GPS position measuring device 4 of the vehicle 1. The position is calculated and output to the parking management control device 46.
In addition, it is not necessary to increase the accuracy of the measured vehicle position on all the public roads under the management of the public road parking management system of this example, and the GPS fixed reception station 44 is, for example, the parking vehicle 1 such as a downtown area. As many areas, for example, it may be provided only in the vicinity of a railway station or only in an urban area. In this case, in areas where the GPS fixed reception station 44 does not support, that is, areas where the number of parked vehicles 1 is small, it is assumed that only parking is prohibited without charging a parking fee or charging a fine. Also good.

In this case, when the raw GPS data received from the GPS position measurement device 4 of the vehicle 1 parked in the area not covered by the GPS fixed reception station 44 is transmitted to the management base device 42 side, the management base device On the 42 side, it is only necessary to calculate position information that is not highly accurate from the received raw data.
In the following description, it is assumed that the vehicle position information is received from the vehicle 1 to the management base device 42 side, and the vehicle position information output from the vehicle 1 is once sent to the GPS fixed reception station 44 and fixed to GPS. The description of the output of the vehicle position information to the parking management control device 46 after the accuracy of the vehicle position information is performed in the station will be omitted. However, in the area corresponding to the GPS fixed reception station 44, the vehicle position information is It is assumed that it is possible to determine whether the vehicle position is on a public road or a parking space such as a parking lot adjacent to the public road.

  The parking management control device 46 functions as parking prohibition permission judging means, penalty money and parking fee calculating means, settlement means, etc. of the present invention. The detailed processing in the parking management control device 46 will be described later on public road parking management. As described in the method, when the parking start control information, the vehicle position information, and the identification information are input from the vehicle 1 via the fixed communication station 43, the parking management control device 46, first, based on the vehicle position information, Search the parking regulation information database 51 and the vehicle information database 52 of the data server 50, and whether the vehicle position indicated in the vehicle position information is outside a public road, a parking prohibited area on a public road, a toll parking permitted area on a public road, or a public road To determine whether the vehicle is in a free parking permitted area, that is, whether parking of the vehicle 1 that has started parking is prohibited or permitted.

The parking management control device 46 transmits the determination result of the determination to the in-vehicle device 2 via the fixed communication station 43, and the determination by the audio output device 5 or the display 6 serving as a parking prohibition permission notifying unit of the in-vehicle device 2. The result can be notified.
Further, when the vehicle position is a parking prohibited area, the parking management control device 46 searches the parking restriction information database based on the vehicle position information to obtain a parking prohibited level, and when the parking prohibited level is equal to or higher than a predetermined level, A search is made based on the identification information from the vehicle information database 52 and the vehicle position information of the vehicle 1, that there is a vehicle 1 parked in a place where the parking prohibition level is high via the communication terminal 45. The vehicle information 5d (registered number, name and address of the person in charge of the vehicle 1) is output.

  Further, the parking management control device 46 searches the parking regulation information database 51 based on the vehicle position information when the determination result is the parking prohibited area and the pay parking permitted area, and the fouling amount per unit time or per unit time. The parking fee is acquired, and the penalty fee or parking fee is calculated based on the elapsed time from the start of parking.

  In addition, when parking end information is input from the vehicle 1 via the fixed communication station 43, the parking management control device 46 determines the penalty fee and parking fee calculated up to that point. In addition, the parking management control device 46 searches the vehicle information database 52 based on the identification information input together with the parking start information, specifies the person in charge (owner or driver) of the vehicle 1 and specifies the settlement method. The credit card company or telephone company as the payment agency based on the payment method, information identifying the person in charge of the vehicle 1 (including name, credit card number or telephone number), and the determined fine or parking The charge information is transmitted via the communication terminal 45.

  The communication terminal 45 can transmit (receive) data outside the public road parking management system such as the above-mentioned settlement agency and the police through a telephone line, a dedicated line, or the Internet, and can perform data communication. Any device can be used.

Below, the public road parking management method in a public road parking management system is demonstrated based on the process of the vehicle-mounted control apparatus 8 of the vehicle-mounted apparatus 2, and the process of the parking management control apparatus 46 of the management base apparatus 42. FIG.
In the vehicle-mounted control device 8, a parking determination process is performed.
First, it is determined whether or not the vehicle speed detected by the vehicle speed detection device 31 as the parking determination condition and input to the in-vehicle control device 8 is changed from 0 to 0. Start measuring the stop time.

  Then, after the vehicle speed becomes 0, the in-vehicle control device 8 determines whether the measured value of the timer becomes a predetermined value (for example, any value from 2 minutes to 5 minutes) as a parking determination condition, Whether or not a door opening signal indicating that the door has been opened from the closed state is input from the opening detection device 32, whether or not a seat leaving signal indicating that the driver is leaving is input from the seat detection device 33, and the engine It is determined whether or not an off signal indicating that the engine key is turned off is input from the key off detection signal.

The in-vehicle control device 8 determines whether the vehicle speed input from the vehicle speed detection device 31 is other than 0 after the vehicle speed becomes zero.
Then, if any of the door opening signal, the leaving signal, and the off signal is input before the timer reaches the predetermined time, the in-vehicle control device determines that parking starts at that time and determines parking start. The process ends.
In addition, when none of the door opening signal, the leaving signal, and the off signal is input, and the vehicle speed input from the vehicle speed detecting device 31 is not other than 0, the measurement time of the timer reaches a predetermined time. In this case, the timer is reset and it is determined that parking is started, and the parking determination process is ended.

In addition, when none of the door opening signal, the leaving signal, or the off signal is input, and the vehicle speed input from the vehicle speed detection device 31 is other than 0 before the time measured by the timer reaches a predetermined time, The parking determination process is terminated without resetting the timer and determining that parking is started.
This parking determination process determines parking start before the driver completely leaves the vehicle, that is, when the door is opened, when trying to get off the driver's seat, or when the engine is turned off. As described later, it is possible to warn that parking is prohibited before the driver goes out of the vehicle. From the above, the in-vehicle control device 8 establishes at least one predetermined condition among a plurality of conditions including a stop of movement of the vehicle 1 as a predetermined condition that can be detected by the detection device 3 in the vehicle 1 on the public road. When the vehicle 1 is determined to be parked and it is determined that the vehicle 1 is parked, the vehicle 1 functions as a parking determination unit that outputs parking start information indicating parking of the vehicle 1.

  However, for example, when it is determined that the vehicle 1 is parked with a stop of the vehicle 1 for about 2 minutes to 5 minutes, there is a high possibility that the stop at the time of congestion is erroneously determined as parking, so the predetermined time may be lengthened. The management base apparatus 42 side monitors the parking start status of other vehicles 1, for example, parking start information is input from a plurality of (for example, four or more) vehicles 1 within a short time, and the vehicle position input from these When the vehicle position indicated in the information is close, it may be determined that there is a traffic jam and the input of the parking start information is canceled. In this case, it is assumed that the on-vehicle device 2 also transmits a parking determination condition when it is determined to be parked to the management base device 42. And when the parking determination conditions at the time of parking determination with the vehicle 1 which output the vehicle position information of the vicinity of the said vehicle 1 are progress of predetermined time, the input of the parking start information of these vehicles 1 is canceled. Also good.

Next, the vehicle-mounted device 2 that is determined to be parked in the parking determination process is a vehicle that indicates the vehicle position that is measured by the GPS position measuring device 4 and updated and stored in a memory such as a RAM of the vehicle-mounted device 2 after the parking start is determined. The position information and the identification information unique to the vehicle 1 stored in, for example, the ROM of the in-vehicle control device 8 together with the parking start information indicating the start of parking are transmitted to the fixed communication station 43 of the management base device 42 via the wireless communication device 7. Send.
And the vehicle-mounted control apparatus 8 which transmitted parking start information will be in the state which waits for reception of the information from the management base apparatus 42, and the vehicle speed input from the vehicle speed detection apparatus 31 changing from 0 to other than zero.

That is, in the in-vehicle control device 8, after determining the parking, it is determined whether or not the data is received by the wireless communication device 7 including the mobile phone for data communication as the in-vehicle device 2. Then, a parking prohibition permission notification process described later is performed.
Moreover, after determining with parking, the vehicle-mounted control apparatus 8 performs a parking cancellation | release determination process in parallel with the standby of data reception.

In the parking cancellation determination process, parking cancellation is determined when the vehicle speed input from the vehicle speed detection device 31 is changed from 0 to other than 0 as described above. However, the vehicle 1 is moved only from several centimeters to several tens of centimeters. Since it may be possible to stop, it is determined that parking is canceled when a predetermined time has elapsed without returning to 0 after the vehicle speed becomes other than 0, or the distance is calculated by integrating the vehicle speed in unit time, for example, It is preferable to determine that parking is canceled when the vehicle travels a predetermined distance of 5 m or more, which is a general length of a passenger car parking space.
As described above, when the vehicle speed detected by the vehicle speed detection device 31 does not necessarily correspond to the actual speed, the vehicle speed is calculated as an integrated value of a preset vehicle speed estimated to correspond to the predetermined length. When the accumulated value reaches, it is determined that parking is cancelled.

  The in-vehicle control device 8 transmits the parking end information indicating the parking release and the identification information to the management base device 42 via the wireless communication device 7 after determining the parking release. Therefore, when the vehicle 1 to which the parking start information is input from the parking determination unit moves, the in-vehicle control device 8 determines that the vehicle 1 has released parking, and the vehicle 1 has released parking. When it determines, it functions as a parking cancellation determination means for outputting parking end information indicating parking cancellation of the vehicle 1 together with the identification information.

  On the other hand, when the parking management control device 46 receives the parking start information, the vehicle position information, and the identification information through the fixed communication station 43 as the parking permission determination process, the parking regulation information database of the data server 50 is based on the vehicle position information. 51 is referred to. In this case, first, the public road position information is referred to, and it is determined whether the road is inside or outside the public road from the position information of the left and right side edges of the public road. And when it is outside a public road, a parking permission determination process is complete | finished. In addition, it searches for parking prohibition permission position information 5a instead of public road position information, and parked outside public road (out of management) when the position indicated in the vehicle position information is neither a parking permission area nor a parking prohibition area As such, the parking permission determination process may be terminated.

  When it is determined that the vehicle is not outside the public road (out of management), the vehicle information database 52 of the data server 50 is referred to by the received identification information, and the exception information corresponding to the identification information is searched. Next, the searched exception information is referred to by vehicle position information, and it is determined whether or not the position indicated by the vehicle position information is exceptionally a parking permission area. And when it is set as the parking permission area, the parking management control apparatus 46 determines that the parking position of the vehicle 1 specified by the received identification information is parking permission, and memorize | stores the determination result.

  On the other hand, when the vehicle position is not set as the parking permission area in the exception information, the parking management control device 46 uses the parking position information 5a in the parking restriction information database 51 of the data server 50 as the vehicle position information and the current position information. It searches based on time and determines whether the parking position of the vehicle 1 specified by identification information is a parking prohibition area or a parking permission area. In addition, about the area where parking prohibition and parking permission change by date and time as mentioned above, it is determined whether it is a parking prohibition area or a parking permission area based on the current time.

And when a parking position is a parking prohibition area, it determines with parking prohibition, and when it is a parking permission area, it determines with parking permission, and memorize | stores a determination result.
From the above, the parking management control device 46 determines the parking regulation information based on the vehicle position information measured by the vehicle position measuring unit with respect to the vehicle 1 to which the parking start information is input from the parking determination unit. Parking prohibition determination means for searching the parking restriction information stored in the storage means, determining whether the position indicated by the vehicle position information is a parking prohibited area or a parking permission area, and outputting information indicating the determination result together with the identification information Function as.

  The parking management control device 46 is stored in the parking regulation information storage unit based on the vehicle position information output from the vehicle position measurement unit with respect to the vehicle 1 determined to be parked by the parking determination unit. Searching for parking restriction information, searching for exception information stored in the vehicle information storage means based on the vehicle position information output from the vehicle position measuring means and the identification information, and searching for the vehicle 1 restriction information Even if the result is a parking prohibited area, it is determined that parking is permitted when there is an exception in the exception information where the parking prohibited area is a parking permitted area.

Next, as notification information transmission processing, information is acquired from the data server 50 as follows in response to the determination result of the parking prohibition permission.
That is, when the parking position is a parking permission area, the maximum parking time information is acquired from the parking prohibition permission position information 5a and stored. Further, when the result of searching the parking prohibition permission position information 5a based on the parking position is determined to be parking permission, the parking position is an area where the parking permission and the parking prohibition are switched according to the date and time, that is, the parking prohibition permission position information 5a. When the current search time is a parking permit in a region where the parking prohibition and the parking permit are switched, the acquisition start date and time when the parking permission is switched to the parking prohibition is acquired and stored.

Further, when the parking position is a parking permission area, it is determined whether it is a paid parking permission area or a free parking permission area.
In the case of a pay parking permission area, the parking fee billing information 5c in the parking regulation information database 51 is searched based on the vehicle position information, and the parking fee amount per unit time and the unit at the position indicated by the vehicle position information. Get time and remember.

Further, when the parking position is a parking prohibited area, it is determined whether or not the parking prohibited level at the parking position is equal to or higher than a predetermined level. Further, the penalty charge information 5b in the parking regulation information database 51 is searched based on the vehicle position information, and the penalty amount per unit time and the unit time at the position indicated by the vehicle position information are acquired and stored.
Further, the parking management control device 46 retrieves the parking permission area near the parking position from the parking prohibition permission position information 5a when it is determined that the parking is prohibited, and acquires and stores the position of the parking permission area.

And after searching the data server 50 based on the parking position information and identification information transmitted from the vehicle 1 which transmitted the parking start information as mentioned above and obtaining the above-mentioned various information (notification information), these notifications The information is transmitted to the vehicle 1 that has transmitted the parking start information via the fixed communication station 43. In this case, the vehicle information database 52 is searched based on the identification information of the vehicle 1 that has transmitted the parking start information, and the telephone number of the data communication mobile phone serving as the wireless communication device 7 of the vehicle 1 is searched and searched. Information is transmitted to the mobile phone (wireless communication apparatus 7) having the telephone number.
Therefore, the in-vehicle control device 8 and the wireless communication device 7 that are the management base device 42 function as a notification information transmission unit that transmits the determination result of the parking prohibition permission determination unit to the parking prohibition permission notification unit.

  On the other hand, the vehicle-mounted control device 8 is in a state of waiting for data reception as described above, and when the wireless communication device 7 receives information from the management base device 42, the received information is sent to the driver of the vehicle 1. A parking prohibition permission notification process is performed. At this time, the driver of the vehicle 1 is likely to be immediately before leaving the vehicle 1, but is unlikely to be in a state where the vehicle 1 is completely left.

In the parking permission prohibition notification process, when the parking position is prohibited, as a notification that the parking position is prohibited, the voice from the voice output device 5 as the parking prohibition permission notification means and the display 6 display, A warning is given that the vehicle is parked in a parking prohibited area, and a request is made to move the vehicle 1 from the parking prohibited area.
Moreover, the audio | voice output apparatus 5 and the display 6 perform the alert | report which guides the parking permission area near a parking prohibition area. This is performed based on the position information of the parking permission area in the vicinity of the parking position acquired as described above. For example, a comparison is made between the parking position and the parking permission area, and when the parking position is 100 m ahead of the parking permission area, a notification such as “parking is permitted after moving 100 m or more ahead” is performed. In addition, a map may be displayed on the display 6 and the parking permission area may be shown on the map.

The notification content is preferably determined in advance on the parking management control device 46 side and transmitted to the in-vehicle control device 8. At this time, in consideration of the parking position of the other vehicle 1 that can be grasped by the parking management control device 46, informing information for guiding the parking permission area where the other vehicle 1 is not parked is created. It may be transmitted to the control device 8.
From the above, the in-vehicle management device and the fixed communication station 43 serving as the notification information transmitting unit search the parking regulation information storage unit based on the vehicle position measured by the vehicle position measuring unit, and determine the vehicle position. Information relating to the surrounding parking permission area is obtained, and information relating to the parking permission area around the obtained vehicle position is added to the determination result, and the voice output device 5 and the display 6 serving as the parking prohibition permission notifying means are connected to the wireless communication facility. The parking prohibition permission notifying unit notifies information related to a parking permission area around the vehicle position.

  When the parked vehicle 1 is moved after the notification, the identification information and the parking end information of the parked vehicle 1 are not received, and further the notification by the audio output device 5 and the display 6 is continued. The above unit time and the fouling amount per unit time are notified. For example, a notification such as “If the parking is continued as it is, a penalty of 2000 yen will be charged every 10 minutes” is given. Further, when the parking prohibition level of the parking position is equal to or higher than a predetermined level, the voice output means and the display 6 may, for example, “to continue to park the vehicle 1 as a tow truck. You will be warned that the wrecker will be moved, such as "Foul money until moving, moving cost and parking fee after moving".

  After that, the parking management control device 46 calculates the penalty money as will be described later. At this time, the parking management control device 46 provides information on the penalty money every time the penalty money is added. May be transmitted to the in-vehicle control device 8, and the in-vehicle control device 8 may use the display 6 to notify that the vehicle is in violation of parking and charging a fine, and may also notify the calculated fine.

  In addition, when the parking position is a parking permission area, using the audio output device 5 and the display 6, the parking position is a free parking permission area and the maximum parking time (or the maximum parking time has elapsed since the present). When the vehicle is parked continuously beyond the maximum parking time, a parking violation is reported. Further, when the parking position is an area where parking permission and parking prohibition are switched according to the date and time, the earlier date and time of the date and time when the maximum parking time has elapsed and the prohibition start date and time are notified. And it will be notified that it will be a parking violation if it parks beyond the notified date and time.

In addition, when the parking position is a pay parking permission area, the parking position is a pay parking permission area using the audio output device 5 and the display 6, and the parking fee is charged if the parking is continued as it is. Is notified.
Next, the unit time and the parking fee per unit time are notified. For example, a notification such as “A parking fee of 100 yen is charged every 30 minutes” is issued.
After this, as in the case of the free parking permission area, the maximum parking time and the prohibition start date are notified, and if parking continues beyond these, it is notified that a parking violation occurs.
Further, as will be described later, the parking fee is calculated in the parking management control device 46. In this case, the parking fee information is obtained from the parking management control device 46 every time the parking fee is added every short time. It may be transmitted to the in-vehicle control device 8, and the in-vehicle control device 8 may notify that the parking fee is being charged by using the display 6 and notify the calculated parking fee.

The parking management control device 46 starts the time measurement process after transmitting the notification information. The time measured by this time measurement process is used for calculating the penalty fee and the parking fee, and for measuring the maximum parking time.
If the parking position is a parking prohibited area, the parking end is completed together with the corresponding identification information based on the unit time and the offense amount per unit time acquired as described above and the time measured in the time measurement process. A penalty calculation process is performed until information is received. The penalty calculation process, for example, when the time measured by the time measurement process has passed a predetermined time (for example, several minutes), if the parking end information is not yet input, add the penalty amount per unit time, Then, every time the unit time elapses, a foul amount per unit time is added.

Further, when the parking management control device 46 determines that the parking prohibition level of the parking position in the parking prohibited area is equal to or higher than the predetermined level, after the predetermined time elapses in the same manner as the fine calculation processing, in parallel with the fine calculation processing. To perform external transmission processing.
The parking management control device 46 searches the vehicle information database 52 based on the identification information of the vehicle 1 for which the parking prohibition level is determined to be equal to or higher than the predetermined level, and information on the vehicle manager who is the driver or owner of the vehicle 1. Search for a registration number. At this time, if the vehicle type information is stored in the vehicle information database 52, the vehicle type information is also searched.

Then, the information identifying the searched vehicle 1 and the person responsible for the vehicle 1 is sent to the communication terminal 45 together with the vehicle position information from the public terminal such as the police or the trader requested by the public organization through the communication terminal 45. 45.
Thereby, the information of the parking violation vehicle 1 is transmitted to a public institution or the like, and it is possible for the public institution to perform a procedure such as a tow truck movement for removing the vehicle 1 parked in the parking prohibited area.
In addition, when parking end information is input from the vehicle 1 to which information is transmitted to the outside, it is preferable to transmit again that the parking violator has moved to a public institution or the like.

In addition, even when the parking prohibition level is lower than the predetermined level, the parking is continued for a long time without inputting the parking end information, and when the parking time elapses after being set in advance based on the parking prohibition level etc. The transmission process may be started to be a target for tow movement.
From the above, when the parking management control device 46 serving as the parking prohibition permission determination means searches the parking prohibition permission position information 5a based on the vehicle position information and determines that parking is prohibited, the parking prohibition permission position information When the parking prohibition level included in 5a is searched based on the vehicle position information, the parking prohibition level is output together with the determination result and the identification information, and the parking prohibition level output from the parking prohibition permission determining means is a predetermined level or more Furthermore, the vehicle information 5d stored in the vehicle information storage means based on the identification information and the external transmission means for transmitting the vehicle position information to the outside.

  In addition, when the parking position is a pay parking permission area, based on the unit time and the parking fee amount per unit time acquired as described above, and the corresponding identification information based on the time measured in the time measurement process Until the parking end information is received, a parking fee calculation process is performed. For example, the parking fee calculation process adds the parking fee amount per unit time when the time measured by the time measurement process has not yet been entered when a predetermined time (for example, several minutes) has elapsed. Then, every time the unit time elapses, the amount of parking fee per unit time is added.

  From the above, when the parking end information is not input from the parking release means within a predetermined time to the vehicle 1 for which the parking management control device 46 as the parking prohibition permission notification means has notified the determination result, The penalty money and the parking fee are calculated based on the vehicle position information measured by the vehicle position measuring unit of the vehicle 1 and the penalty fee charging information 5b and the parking fee charging information 5c stored in the parking regulation information storage unit. It functions as a penalty fee and parking fee calculation means for outputting the result together with the identification information. Further, in calculating the penalty fee and parking fee, the penalty fee and parking fee calculation means until the parking end information is input from the parking release determination means to the vehicle 1 that has started calculating the penalty fee and parking fee. The penalty money and the parking fee are calculated to increase with the passage of time.

In addition, when the parking position is the parking permission area regardless of the pay parking permission area and the free parking permission area, the parking management control device 46 does not receive the parking end information, and the time measured by the time measurement process is the above time. When it becomes the maximum parking time acquired as described above, it is determined that parking is prohibited from parking permission, and the following parking prohibition switching process is performed.
In addition, when the parking position is an area where the parking position is switched between parking permission and parking prohibition according to the date and time, and the parking position is determined to be a parking permission area corresponding to the current time, the parking management control device 46 is parked. If the end information is not received and the prohibition start date and time set in the area is reached, it is determined that parking is prohibited from parking permission.

  Accordingly, the parking management control device 46 serving as the parking prohibition permission determining means determines that the parking permission is determined by the fact that the vehicle position measured by the vehicle position measuring means of the vehicle 1 determined by the parking determination means is a parking permission area. After the determination, the vehicle position measurement of the vehicle 1 that is determined to be prohibited from parking when the maximum parking time has elapsed without the parking end information being input from the parking cancellation determination means, and the parking determination means determines to park. When the vehicle position measured by the means is an area where parking prohibition and parking permission are interchanged according to the date and time, based on the current date and time, it is determined whether parking permission or parking is prohibited, and after the parking permission is determined, the parking When the prohibition start date and time is reached without inputting the parking end information from the release determination means, it is determined that parking is prohibited.

  In the parking prohibition switching process, as the parking prohibition switching process, the vehicle management database 46 searches the vehicle information database 52 based on the identification information of the vehicle 1 that has been determined to be prohibited from parking permission as described above. The telephone number or mail address of the mobile phone carried (possessed) by the driver or owner of the vehicle 1 corresponding to the identification information is acquired. Then, the parked vehicle 1 continues to be parked after the maximum parking time or the prohibition start date and time by the voice or mail to the mobile phone via the fixed communication station 43, and the parking permission is changed from the parking permission to the parking prohibited state. And requests the movement of the parked vehicle 1.

Therefore, the parking management control device 46 serving as the parking prohibition permission notifying unit notifies that parking prohibition has occurred from parking permission when the parking prohibition permission determining unit determines parking prohibition after determining parking permission. . In addition, the parking management control device 46 and the fixed communication station 43 as the notification information transmitting means use the mobile phone number or the mail address stored in the vehicle information database 52 as the vehicle information storage means to the mobile phone. The determination result of the parking prohibition permission determination means is notified.
Note that the voice output device 5 and the display 6 of the in-vehicle device 2 also notify that parking is prohibited due to parking permission.

  Next, the parking management control device 46 starts the above-mentioned penalty calculation processing when the parking end information is not input even after a predetermined time has elapsed after notifying that parking is prohibited from parking permission as described above. To do. In this case, if the parking fee calculation processing has already been performed, the parking fee calculation processing is terminated, and the vehicle 1 is responsible for the parking fee calculated in the parking fee calculation processing and the penalty calculated from now on. Charge the person.

Then, in the parking management control device 46, when the parking end information is input from the in-vehicle control device 8, the above-described time measurement processing is ended, processing relating to switching of permission prohibition based on the maximum parking time and parking prohibition date and time, and penalty calculation When the processing and the parking fee calculation processing are being performed, these are terminated.
When the calculation of the penalty money and the parking fee is completed, the settlement processing of the calculated penalty money and the parking fee is performed. That is, the parking management control device 46 refers to the vehicle information database 52 based on the identification information, and makes a payment based on the payment method set corresponding to the person in charge of the vehicle 1 for which the penalty / parking fee has been calculated. Do. As a settlement method, for example, there is a settlement by a credit card company and a settlement by a charge collection agency by a telephone company.

  Therefore, the parking management control device 46 uses a credit card company or a telephone via the communication terminal 45 from the information related to the person in charge of the vehicle 1 searched based on the identification information from the vehicle information database 52 and the information on the payment method. Information necessary for settlement such as the amount of the penalty / parking fee, the ID of the card number of the person in charge of the vehicle 1, the name of the person in charge of the vehicle 1, etc. is transmitted to the company. Thereby, the process regarding the public road parking management method from the parking start with respect to the parking vehicle 1 to a parking end is complete | finished. In addition, it is necessary to strictly manage the information stored in the data server 50 and various information such as the parking position of each vehicle 1 generated by the above-described processing.

  In the public road parking management system as described above, since the parking state of all vehicles 1 under management on the public road can be managed, the parking prohibited area or the parking permitted area can be changed according to the parking state, or parking permission can be set. It is also possible to change the maximum parking time in the area. For example, in an area where there are many parked vehicles 1 in the parking permission area, the maximum parking time is shortened, and the vehicle 1 parked after performing the processing of shortening the maximum parking time is shortened to the maximum. You may make it apply parking time. In addition, parking prohibition area, parking permission area, etc. can be changed at the time of the event such as festival, marathon event and before and after that, and the parking permission area is parked at the date and time before and after the event. It can be a prohibited area.

  Also, based on bad weather, disasters, etc., the parking permission area may be designated as an emergency evacuated parking prohibited area. For example, the communication terminal 45 may be used as a weather or disaster such as meteorological agency, fire agency, police agency, local government, etc. The location information received by the emergency reception means is equipped with emergency reception means that is sent as weather information and disaster information from public organizations that deal with the situation, and receives location information of areas that are dangerous due to bad weather such as typhoons and disasters. When it is a parking permission area with reference to the parking regulation information database, it may be a person who makes this an emergency parking prohibited area. And you may make it alert | report that it parks in the emergency parking prohibition area using the above-mentioned parking prohibition permission alerting | reporting means with respect to the vehicle parked in an emergency parking prohibition area.

  In this case, as a notification, it may be warned that there is a danger of being parked due to a typhoon or a disaster, or that it may obstruct the passage of an emergency vehicle, and the movement of the vehicle may be requested. In addition, the above-described notification may be performed in response to an alarm issued from the Japan Meteorological Agency based on a typhoon or a tsunami as the above-described weather information.
