Description

  The present invention relates to a management system that enables a measure against an illegal delivery vehicle in a parking lot.

  In order to prevent unauthorized parking in parking lots, lock plate parking lots have been widely used in which a lock plate is laid in each vehicle compartment, and the vehicle cannot be physically removed from the vehicle compartment until the vehicle that has entered the store pays the parking fee. Yes. However, when the user has psychological resistance when parking the vehicle in the cabin with the lock plate, the vehicle is damaged by the lock plate, or an accident such as the lock plate being unable to leave the vehicle occurs The cost of the lock plate body and the cost of installation and maintenance of the lock plate body are relatively high.

  As another technology, a technology based on Japanese Patent No. 5046560 is used to use a vehicle number read from a vehicle number plate for an unauthorized vehicle that does not pay a parking fee, and is unpaid when the unauthorized vehicle uses a parking lot again. Parking lot systems without lock plates that try to prevent fraud by adding charges and charging are put into practical use.

However, the known parking lot system without a lock plate of the above-mentioned Japanese Patent No. 5046560 has the following drawbacks.
a. The management of entry / exit of vehicles to / from the parking lot compartment is a fundamental function that is the basis for calculating the parking fee. However, the management of entry / exit is handled by a “management device” connected via a communication network. Therefore, if the operation of the “management device” stops or a communication network failure occurs, the parking lot entry / exit cannot be managed in all parking lots connected to the “management device”, and the operation of all parking lots May stop.
b. The “management device” holds all the data necessary for managing the entry and exit of all the parking lots and the data related to unauthorized exits without paying the charges. Since data exchange processing occurs every time, a processing device with high performance and a large data capacity is required, and operation is required to be non-stop for 24 hours. Therefore, installation and operation costs are high. .

  Also, as another technology, parking lots that manage entry / exit on a vehicle-by-chamber basis, unlike gated parking lots, do not issue parking tickets, but pay parking fees according to shopping at stores near the parking lot. When providing a discount service, install a parking ticket issuing machine in the parking lot, record discount information according to the purchase amount on the parking ticket with the discount authentication device installed in the store, and discount information on the parking ticket with the fee settlement machine The discount amount was calculated. A parking ticket is a magnetic ticket in which magnetic powder is applied to paper, and troubles that cannot be used may occur due to damage to the ticket, magnetic data due to magnets, or loss.

Japanese Patent No. 5046560
