Description

The utility model relates to measuring equipment, namely, to a mobile device for controlling the payment of parking of vehicles in paid parking areas and can be used on cars of the road patrol service to automatically perform the above functions.

A known system for providing paid parking of vehicles (RU 2271573 C1, IPC G07B 15/00, published March 10, 2006), characterized in that an identification mark is fixed on the windshield of the parked vehicle. Paid parking controllers have wearable parking devices, including a reader and a processor. A control button is connected to the control input of the processor, and a portable printer is connected to the output. A memory unit and a portable transceiver are associated with the processor. The stationary parking terminal contains a tariff, a database, a transceiver connected to the database, and a time counter. The output of the time counter is connected to the control inputs of the tariffifier and database. An identification tag is a radio tag inductively interacting with a reader of a wearable parking device. A transportable parking complex is installed on board the vehicle. The latter is configured to receive and process signals from a global satellite navigation system, as well as transmit and receive via a standard mobile cellular network containing a billing center, for example, via a GSM network, voice and code messages, including an identification code and vehicle coordinates . Stationary and wearable transceiver devices are made in the form of terminals of a cellular mobile network, for example, a GSM network. The billing system is made with additional input, which is connected to the database. The output of the tariffication device is connected to the input of the billing center of the regional mobile cellular network operator. The time counter is controlled from a stationary terminal of a cellular mobile network, for example, a GSM network.

A disadvantage of the known system is the difficulty in organizing a vehicle identification system associated with the need to set an identification tag on a vehicle and use a portable reader of a parking device.

The technical result of the utility model is to simplify the procedure for organizing a vehicle identification system in a paid parking lot.

The above technical result is ensured by the fact that a mobile device is proposed for controlling the payment of parking of vehicles in paid parking areas, including a video unit 1 containing at least one video camera configured to detect and fix the state registration plate of a controlled vehicle, a GLONASS / GPS signal receiver 3, the control unit and visualization 4, made in the form of a monitor with the ability to touch control the functions of the device, the processing unit and information 2 and data storage unit 5, wherein the information processing unit is connected to the control and visualization unit 4 by bidirectional communication and contains a module for identifying the state registration plate of a fixed vehicle, which provides processing of the signal coming from video block 1, a module for identifying a paid parking zone, configured to GLONASS / GPS signal processing to establish device coordinates with reference to a specific paid parking zone, as well as a module for fixing payment violations Parking, made with the possibility of exchanging information, in particular regarding the paid parking time of a fixed vehicle, with a remote server containing a database of paid places for the controlled paid parking zone.

The video unit 1 of the device may further comprise a video camera for recording overview video. Such information can improve the quality of identification of fixed vehicles, as well as the reliability of identified violations.

Information about the controlled areas of paid parking can be pre-recorded in the data storage unit 5 from an external medium or during the preliminary passage of the patrol along a given route. This information is used in the process of verifying compliance with the rules for paying for parking vehicles in these areas.

To more accurately identify the coordinates of the device and minimize possible failures, it may include at least two GLONASS / GPS 3 signal receivers.

Figure 1 shows a diagram of the claimed device for controlling the payment of parking of vehicles in areas of paid parking.

The following describes the operation of the device.

First you need to write to the device’s memory information about sections of the road with paid parking. This can be done both in a known manner, and using the device itself. To this end, while the patrol car / vehicle (PA) is moving along a controlled route with the device installed, before the start of the paid parking lot, the operator, by means of the control and visualization unit 4, enables the recording of “paid parking zones”.

The GLONASS / GPS 3 signal receiver, at certain time intervals, receives signals from the satellite, processes them, and transmits navigation information to the data storage unit 5 — the coordinates and course of the PA.

During the operation of the recording function of "paid parking zones", the coordinate data of all points of the road section with paid parking, as well as the PA course (driving direction) are generated and recorded in the data storage unit 5.

At the end of the road section with paid parking, the operator, through the control interface of the control and visualization unit 4, turns off the recording function of “paid parking areas”, and then the formation and recording of coordinates and course to the data storage unit 5 stops.

After detouring the routes with the function of recording “paid parking zones” in those sections of the road where parking payment is to be controlled, data storage unit 5 contains information about all sections of the road with paid parking, with their geographical coordinates, and with the direction of movement of PA on each such a site.

The operator can upload information about the recorded zones from the data storage unit 5 via wireless communication or using a Flash drive to a remote server about the zones, or download this information from the server.

Parking payment control is carried out as follows. Before starting work, the operator through the interface of the control unit and visualization 4 puts the device in the appropriate mode of operation.

A patrol car moves along routes passing through paid parking areas. At the same time, the current coordinates and the PA course received from the GLONASS / GPS 3 signal receiver are transmitted to the paid parking zone identification module.

In the identification module, the current coordinates and the PA rate are compared with the parameters of the paid parking zones obtained from the data storage unit 5. If the comparison gives a positive result (the current coordinates of the PA fall into one of the paid parking zones, information about the fixed vehicles is stored in the data storage unit 5 (the GRD of the fixed vehicle, its photo, coordinates and time of fixation, as well as the identifier of the current paid parking zone are saved.) This data packet can also be transmitted to a remote server containing database of paid places in this paid parking zone, to verify the payment of parking for this vehicle.

The remote server contains an operational database of vehicles that paid for parking at a particular point in time. Comparison of information on fixed vehicles obtained using the claimed device with data on vehicles that paid for parking allows you to identify vehicles that violate the paid parking rules. Such information processing can be performed both in the device itself (in the module for fixing parking payment violations) and in the remote server. It is more preferable that such information processing is carried out in the device itself, since the quick receipt of the verification results creates the prerequisites for the prompt adoption of the necessary measures to suppress and eliminate these violations.

A video camera for identifying the state registration plate of a fixed vehicle can be implemented as a black and white video camera. Designed to form frames with the image of the state registration plate (GRZ) of a vehicle (TS) for subsequent recognition. A black and white camera is used because according to its characteristics (sensitivity, speed, etc.) it is better suited for recognition of gas distribution devices than color.

Surveillance video camera can be implemented as a color video camera. Designed for the formation of photo and video frames of the situation in front of a patrol car (PA).

The video unit 1 can be implemented in the form of a bracket on which the video camera is fixed.

The GLONASS / GPS 3 signal receiver is one or more navigation modules operating in GLONASS / GPS networks that can be installed in the car computer case or separately. Designed to determine the current coordinates and time.

The data storage unit 5 is designed to store data generated and used during operation of the device. It can be implemented in the form of software modules (at the logical level), as well as in the form of a 55E-drive (s) (at the physical level).

The control and visualization unit 4 can be implemented in the form of a touch screen display of an automobile computer or in a separate housing. Designed to display information during the operation of the device, and to control the device using the software interface.

The information processing unit 2 is designed to process information from a video camera, a GLONASS / GPS 3 signal receiver, as well as a remote server and data storage unit 5.

The claimed device can be made in one housing with the possibility of installation on a patrol car, as well as a portable device for use outside a patrol car by a specially trained employee.
