Wherein, the parking bill may include: parking fee, charging fee, and/or total fee (i.e., sum of parking fee and charging fee).

In this embodiment, the parking space management device 10 may recommend parking information such as a parking area 70 and a parking route for a vehicle arriving at the automatic gate 60 at the entrance of the parking lot; information such as the parking area 70 and the parking route may also be recommended for the vehicle reserving the parking space, and for the vehicle reserving the parking space, the parking space management device 10 may recommend the parking area 70 and the parking route according to the reservation information (which may include information such as a license plate number and a charging requirement), and the specific parking information recommendation process is similar. For convenience of explanation, the following description will exemplarily refer to the parking space management apparatus 10 as an example of recommending parking information for a vehicle arriving at an entrance of a parking lot.

The following explains the parking space management process of the embodiment of the application.

Fig. 4 is a schematic flow chart of a parking space management method provided in the embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 4, the method may include the following steps:

s110, judging whether a target vehicle to be driven into the parking lot has a charging requirement, if so, executing a step S120, otherwise, executing a step S150.

Specifically, for a vehicle (i.e., a target vehicle) that arrives at an entrance of a parking lot and is to enter the parking lot, the parking space management device may determine, in the aforementioned vehicle type identification manner, whether the vehicle type of the target vehicle is an electric vehicle or a non-electric vehicle, so as to further determine the charging demand of the target vehicle, and then may recommend a parking area for the target vehicle according to the charging demand of the target vehicle, so as to improve the utilization rate of charging resources.

For a non-electric vehicle, it may be determined that it has no charging requirements; for an electric vehicle, it can be considered that there is a charging demand. Considering that some electric vehicles may not need to be charged, in order to further improve the utilization rate of charging resources, the electric vehicles can be further distinguished whether the electric vehicles have charging requirements. The method for determining whether the electric vehicle has a charging requirement may include, but is not limited to, the following two methods:

the first method is as follows: and determining whether the electric automobile has a charging requirement or not based on the user feedback.

Specifically, the parking space management device may push charging demand prompt information to the terminal device corresponding to the target vehicle to prompt the user to select whether there is a charging demand when determining that the target vehicle is an electric vehicle. And after receiving a charging requirement selection result fed back by the terminal equipment, determining the charging requirement of the target vehicle according to the charging requirement selection result.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 5, after receiving the charging demand prompt message, the terminal device may display a prompt interface, and display the prompt message on the prompt interface: "need to charge", and provide options "yes" and "no", the user can choose from it, in order to feedback whether there is a need to charge to the parking space management equipment. If the user selects 'yes', the parking space management equipment can determine that the target vehicle has a charging requirement; if the user selects "no", the parking space management device may determine that the target vehicle has no charging demand.

The terminal equipment can also send out voice prompt after receiving the charging demand prompt information, and a user can input voice feedback whether the charging demand exists.

The second method comprises the following steps: and determining whether the electric automobile has a charging requirement or not based on the residual capacity.

Specifically, the parking space management device may acquire the remaining power information of the target vehicle when determining that the target vehicle is the electric vehicle, and determine the charging demand of the target vehicle according to the remaining power information.

During specific implementation, the parking space management device may send a request message to a terminal device corresponding to the target vehicle, and after receiving the request message, the terminal device may feed back the remaining power information of the target vehicle to the parking space management device. The terminal device can establish connection with a vehicle control system of the target vehicle to acquire vehicle information such as residual capacity information of the target vehicle.

S120, judging whether a first parking area with an idle charging parking space exists or not, if so, executing a step S130, otherwise, executing a step S140.

When the target vehicle has a charging demand, a parking area with a free charging parking space (i.e. a first parking area) can be recommended for the target vehicle. In consideration of a case where there may be no free charging space in the parking lot, the space management apparatus may first determine whether or not there is a first parking area, and in a case where there is a first parking area, may determine a recommended parking area for the target vehicle (hereinafter, referred to as a target parking area) from among the first parking areas.

And S130, determining a target parking area from the first parking area.

Specifically, if there is only one first parking zone, the first parking zone may be taken as a target parking zone; if there are a plurality of first parking areas, one of them may be selected as a target parking area.

For example, assume that there are 5 parking areas in a parking lot, and the charging pile and the remaining parking space in each parking area are as follows:

parking area 1: 1 charging pile and 4 parking spaces are left, namely 1 free charging parking space and 3 free non-charging parking spaces are left;

parking area 2: 2 charging piles and 4 parking spaces are left, namely 2 idle charging parking spaces and 2 idle non-charging parking spaces are left;

parking area 3: 3 charging piles and 4 parking spaces are left, namely 3 idle charging parking spaces and 1 idle non-charging parking space are left;

parking area 4: 2 charging piles and 2 parking spaces are left, namely 2 idle charging parking spaces and 0 idle non-charging parking space are left;

parking area 5: the rest 0 fills electric pile, 2 parking stalls, and the rest 0 spare parking stall that charges promptly, 2 spare non-charging stalls.

In the above example, each of the parking areas 1 to 4 is the first parking area having an empty charging slot, and one parking area may be selected from the four parking areas as the target parking area. The process of determining the target parking area is explained below in conjunction with this example. Specifically, the manner of determining the target parking zone from the plurality of first parking zones may include, but is not limited to, the following three manners:

the first method comprises the following steps: one parking area is randomly selected from the first parking areas (i.e., parking areas 1 to 4) as a target parking area. The algorithm is simple.

And the second method comprises the following steps: and selecting the parking area closest to the target vehicle in the first parking area as the target parking area. Assuming that the parking area 1 is closest to the target vehicle, the target parking area is the parking area 1. The mode can enable the target vehicle to arrive at the target parking area as soon as possible for parking, so that the user experience can be improved.

And the third is that: whether a parking area without an idle non-charging parking space (hereinafter referred to as a first sub-parking area) exists in the first parking area is judged, and if the first sub-parking area exists, a target parking area can be determined from the first sub-parking area. This mode is more reasonable high-efficient, can reduce and fill electric pile scheduling process.

For example, in the parking areas 1 to 4, 0 vacant non-charging parking spaces remain in the parking area 4, the parking area 4 is a first sub-parking area, and the target parking area is the parking area 4.

When the first sub-parking area includes a plurality of sub-parking areas, one of the sub-parking areas may be randomly selected or a parking area closest to the target vehicle may be selected as the target parking area.

If the first sub-parking area does not exist, the parking area with the minimum idle charging parking space in the first parking area can be used as the target parking area, so that the first parking area is changed into the parking area with the idle non-charging parking space as soon as possible, and the parking area is used for parking the non-electric automobile. If the parking lot includes only the parking areas 1 to 3, the parking area 1 can be set as the target parking area because the number of empty charging slots in the parking area 1 is minimized.

In the case that the first sub-parking area does not exist, one of the first parking areas may be randomly selected as the target parking area, or a parking area closest to the target vehicle in the first parking area may be used as the target parking area, so as to reduce the time for parking by the user.

And S140, sending prompt information to the target vehicle.

When the target vehicle has a charging demand and no vacant charging parking space exists in a parking area (hereinafter referred to as a vacant parking area) with vacant parking spaces, the parking space management device can send prompt information to the target vehicle.

Specifically, the prompt information may be voice information, a playing device may be arranged at the entrance of the parking lot, the parking space management device may control the playing device to send the prompt information in a voice playing manner, and the prompt information may also be sent to the terminal device of the target vehicle, and the terminal device plays the prompt information. The prompt information may also be text information, and the parking space management device may control the display device at the entrance of the parking lot to display the prompt information, or send the prompt information to the terminal device of the target vehicle, and the terminal device displays the prompt information.

S150, judging whether a second parking area with an idle non-charging parking space exists or not, if so, executing a step S160, otherwise, executing a step S170.

When the target vehicle has no charging demand, a parking area with free non-charging parking spaces (i.e., a second parking area) may be recommended for the target vehicle. In consideration of the fact that no vacant non-charging parking spaces may exist in the parking lot, the parking space management device may first determine whether a second parking area exists, and may determine a target parking area recommended for the target vehicle from the second parking area in the case that the second parking area exists, so as to improve the utilization rate of the charging resource.

And S160, determining a target parking area from the second parking area.

Specifically, if there is only one second parking zone, the second parking zone may be taken as a target parking zone; if there are a plurality of second parking areas, two of them can be selected as the target parking areas.

Continuing with the example in step S130, parking areas 1 to 3 and 5 are all the second parking areas with free non-charging parking spaces, and one parking area may be selected from the four parking areas as the target parking area. The process of determining the target parking area is explained below in conjunction with this example. Specifically, similar to step S130, the manner of determining the target parking zone from the plurality of second parking zones may include, but is not limited to, the following three manners:

the first method comprises the following steps: one parking area is randomly selected from the second parking areas (i.e., parking areas 1 to 3 and parking area 5) as a target parking area.

And the second method comprises the following steps: and selecting the parking area closest to the target vehicle in the second parking areas as the target parking area. Assuming that the parking area 1 is closest to the target vehicle, the target parking area is the parking area 1.

And the third is that: whether a parking area without a free charging parking space (hereinafter referred to as a second sub-parking area) exists in the second parking area is judged, and if the second sub-parking area exists, a target parking area can be determined from the second sub-parking area.

For example, in the parking areas 1 to 3 and 5, 0 vacant charging spaces remain in the parking area 5, the parking area 5 is a second sub-parking area, and the target parking area is the parking area 5.

When the second sub-parking area includes a plurality of sub-parking areas, one of the sub-parking areas may be randomly selected or a parking area closest to the target vehicle may be selected as the target parking area.

If the second sub-parking area does not exist, the parking area with the least idle non-charging parking places in the second parking area can be used as the target parking area, so that the second parking area is changed into the parking area with only idle charging parking places as soon as possible, and the parking area is used for parking the electric automobile. If the parking lot includes only the parking areas 1 to 3, the parking area 3 can be set as the target parking area because the number of vacant non-charging slots in the parking area 3 is minimized.

In the case that there is no second sub-parking area, one of the second parking areas may be randomly selected as a target parking area, or a parking area closest to the target vehicle in the second parking area may be used as the target parking area, so as to reduce the time for parking by the user.

And S170, determining the parking area closest to the target vehicle in the free parking area as the target parking area.

When the target vehicle has no charging requirement and no vacant non-charging parking spaces exist in the vacant parking areas, the parking space management device can randomly select one of the vacant parking areas as the target parking area or use the parking area closest to the target vehicle in the vacant parking areas as the target parking area so as to reduce the parking time of the user.

And S180, recommending a target parking area to the target vehicle.

After the parking space management device determines the target parking area, the parking space management device can recommend the information of the target parking area to the target vehicle in a voice or text display mode, similar to the prompt information, the parking space management device can control the playing device/display device in the parking lot to recommend the target parking area to the target vehicle, and can also send the relevant information of the target parking area to the terminal device corresponding to the target vehicle, and the relevant information of the target parking area is played or displayed through the terminal device.

And S190, recommending a parking route reaching the target parking area to the terminal equipment corresponding to the target vehicle.

In this embodiment, the parking space management device may also recommend a parking route to the terminal device corresponding to the target vehicle, and the terminal device may show the parking route to the user and may perform voice navigation to facilitate the user to reach the target parking area more quickly.

Considering that a vehicle which is parked possibly exists on the parking route, the parking space management equipment can update the parking route in real time according to the congestion condition on the parking route, recommend a better route scheme for the user, and enable the user to arrive at the target parking area as soon as possible.

The parking space management equipment can also recommend a plurality of parking routes, and a user can select the parking routes according to the requirement so as to improve the use flexibility of the user. The parking space management equipment can send the driving time length and the congestion condition of each parking route to the terminal equipment so as to provide richer navigation information for the user.

In this embodiment, in order to reduce the situation that the vacant charging parking spaces in the first sub-parking area are occupied by the non-charging cars and improve the utilization rate of the charging resources, the parking space management device may control the intelligent parking space locks of the vacant charging parking spaces in the first sub-parking area to lock, so as to prevent the cars from being parked in the first sub-parking area; when the target parking area is the first sub-parking area, the parking space management device can control the intelligent parking space locks of all the idle charging parking spaces in the target parking area to unlock after detecting that the target vehicle reaches the target parking area, so that the target vehicle can be parked in the target parking area. The parking space management equipment can control the intelligent parking space locks of the rest idle charging parking spaces in the target parking area to lock after the target vehicle is parked.

For a target vehicle needing to be charged, the parking space management equipment can determine whether the target vehicle is completely parked through the monitoring equipment, and can send a control instruction to a target charging pile in a target parking area to control the target charging pile to charge the target vehicle under the condition that the target vehicle is completely parked.

According to the parking space management method provided by the embodiment, for a target vehicle to be driven into a parking lot, the charging requirement of the target vehicle is determined, and then a parking area with an idle charging parking space is preferentially recommended for the vehicle with the charging requirement; for vehicles without charging requirements, a parking area with idle non-charging parking spaces is preferentially recommended, so that the utilization rate of charging resources can be improved; moreover, a parking area is recommended for the target vehicle instead of a specific parking space, so that the requirement of the user can be met, the complexity of a recommendation algorithm is reduced, the user can have a larger parking space selection space, and the parking experience of the user can be improved.
