In S817, the corresponding parking space is set to be in a locked state, and the corresponding parking space is the parking space where the visitor vehicle has just driven away.

For example, license plate information and parking space information of an owner vehicle are correspondingly recorded into the system control unit 1 and the vehicle identification unit 4; the parking space of the owner is set as a warning function when no vehicle is parked, the vehicle sensing unit 2 monitors whether the vehicle is parked in the parking space in real time, if the corresponding owner vehicle does not enter a residential district or a commercial park (read by the vehicle identification unit 4) and other vehicles are parked, a sound-light alarm is given, and an indication is given to the system control unit 1 to remind related personnel of intervening; when an owner vehicle enters a residential district or a commercial park and is read by the vehicle identification unit 4 to check the license plate information, the warning function of the owner's parking space is released, (the owner can have a plurality of parking spaces and a plurality of vehicles), the owner's vehicle is allowed to park in the own parking space, and after the vehicle enters the garage, the vehicle sensing unit 2 can reflect the driving path of the owner on the system control unit 1 (the vehicle is parked on a driving lane or the time of other non-parking spaces is too long, warning can be triggered); when the vehicle is parked in the owner parking space, the system can continue to set other parking spaces of the owner, which are not parked, into the warning state; when the owner vehicle exits the parking space, the detection data of the vehicle sensing unit 2 reflects the driving track in the system control unit 1, and when the owner vehicle passes through the vehicle identification unit 4 and is identified to exit the garage, the parking space of the owner is set to be in a warning state.

The private parking space is authorized by the owner to park the visitor vehicle, (the system control unit 1 can be manually set or APP set), and the visitor parking space in the garage is also set to be in a warning state when no vehicle exists at ordinary times. When a visitor vehicle enters a residential district or a commercial park, a license plate is input through the vehicle identification unit 4, and a certain owner parking space or a certain visitor parking space is opened through authorization, so that the authorized parking space is relieved from the alarm state; after a vehicle enters a garage, from the beginning of the first vehicle sensing unit 2, a plurality of (such as 2, 3, 4 and the like) lamps of the vehicle sensing units 2 are always lighted in front of the vehicle and guide the vehicle to reach a specified parking space, and after the vehicle enters the parking space, the system control unit 1 can determine the parking space of the vehicle (the vehicle is parked on a traffic lane or other non-parking spaces are too long, and warning is triggered); when the vehicle exits from the parking space, the vehicle sensing unit 2 sends the state detected by the probe to the system control unit 1, the driving track of the vehicle is formed through corresponding logical operation, and when the vehicle exits from the garage through license plate verification, the corresponding parking space is set to be in a warning state.

FIG. 9 is a flow chart illustrating a vehicle parking and tracking method according to another exemplary embodiment. The detailed procedure for vehicle tracking in applying the method of the invention is described by a specific embodiment.

As shown in fig. 9, in S901, a vehicle identification is acquired.

In S902, the vehicle sensing unit 2 alternately detects the vehicles and stores the driving paths.

In S903, the vehicle is detected to reach the target parking space, and the parking space information is stored.

In S904, it is detected that the vehicle exits the target slot.

In S905, the parking space information is switched to idle.

In S906, the vehicle sensing units 2 alternately detect the vehicles and store the trajectories.

In S907, it is detected that the vehicle exits the garage, and the vehicle tag is acquired and cancelled.

The vehicle enters the garage after being subjected to identity input through the vehicle identification unit 4, vehicle information detected from the first vehicle sensing unit 2 is bound with the license plate and sent to the system control unit 1, the system control unit 1 forms a running track of the vehicle through logical operation until the vehicle is parked in a parking space and is detected by a parking probe of the corresponding vehicle sensing unit 2, and the position of the vehicle is accurately locked. If the car owner forgets the parking position of the car after the completion of the transaction, the car owner can input the license plate by means of the car tracking unit 3 placed at the pedestrian entrance and exit of the garage, the parking position of the car and the route of the parking space and the current position can be displayed, and the car owner can easily find the car; the car owner finds the vehicle, and after leaving the parking space, the driving route of the vehicle can still be completely detected by the vehicle sensing unit 2, so that the vehicle can be accurately tracked if driving into other parking spaces again, and meanwhile, the interference and the misjudgment on the tracking of other vehicles entering the garage are avoided. When the vehicle exits the garage via the vehicle recognition unit 4, the tracking of this vehicle is ended.

From the above description, it can be known that the vehicle parking and tracking method provided by the application is widely applied, and can be applied to commercial garages and garages of residential districts.

An example of the application to a commercial garage is as follows. For convenience of description, it is assumed that the garage has 1000 total parking spaces, wherein 200 parking spaces are exclusive parking spaces of company a, 300 parking spaces are exclusive parking spaces of company B, and the remaining 500 parking spaces are public parking spaces.

The first is an employee of company A, and the first can use the exclusive parking space of company A.

The lane plan and the parking spaces and the parking space numbers in the garage can be correspondingly input into the system control unit 1 and the vehicle tracking units 3 positioned at the pedestrian entrances and exits of the garage, so that the positions of each vehicle tracking unit 3 and any parking space on the plane are fixed and unchanged, and at least one path can be formed between the vehicle tracking units and any parking space; the vehicle tracking unit 3 and the path of each parking space may be preset, and when there is no vehicle searching requirement, the corresponding path may be displayed to guide the vehicle owner to find the parked vehicle.

Correspondingly inputting license plate information of employee vehicles of company A and 200 exclusive parking space information of company A into a system control unit 1 and a vehicle identification unit 4; set up to the warning function when 200 exclusive parking stalls of A company do not have the vehicle to park, vehicle sensing unit 2 can real time monitoring parking stall have the vehicle to park, if A company's staff vehicle does not get into the garage (read by vehicle identification unit 4), and have other vehicles to park, this shows that there is non A company's staff vehicle to occupy A company's exclusive parking stall, then has audible and visual warning to there is the instruction at system control unit 1, remind relevant personnel to intervene. Therefore, the problem that employee vehicles of a company other than A occupy exclusive parking spaces of the company A is solved.

When a vehicle of a employee A of the company A enters a garage and the vehicle identification unit 4 reads the checked license plate information, the warning function of at least one free exclusive parking space of the company A is released, the vehicle of the company A is allowed to stop at the exclusive parking space of the company A, and after the vehicle of the company A drives at the exclusive parking space of the company A, the vehicle sensing unit 2 reflects the driving path of the company A on the system control unit 1; when the first vehicle stops in the exclusive parking space of company A, the system can continue to set other idle exclusive parking spaces of company A which do not stop as warning states; when the first vehicle exits from the parking space, the detection data of the vehicle sensing unit 2 can reflect the driving track in the system control unit 1, and when the vehicle is identified by the vehicle identification unit 4 to exit from the garage, the exclusive parking space where the first vehicle is parked is set to be in a warning state.

When the exclusive parking spaces are used for parking a large number of vehicles, the problem that the parking spaces are difficult to find exists, for example, most of 200 exclusive parking spaces of company a have vehicles already parked (for example, more than 80% of exclusive parking spaces have vehicles already stored), so that when the employees of company a want to park, the problem that finding the free exclusive parking spaces is difficult exists. In the scheme, if the occupation proportion of the exclusive parking space reaches a preset threshold value, a guiding function is started for the vehicle. After the vehicle enters the garage, from the beginning of the first vehicle sensing unit 2, several (the number can be set as required, for example, 2, 3, 4, etc.) lamps of the vehicle sensing units are always lighted in front of the vehicle and guide the vehicle to reach a designated parking space.

In the scheme, the visitor vehicle authorized by company A can also use the parking space of company A.

When a visitor vehicle enters the garage, a license plate is input through the vehicle identification unit 4, a certain parking space is authorized to be opened through company A, and the authorized parking space is released from the warning state; after the visitor vehicle enters the garage, from the beginning of the first vehicle sensing unit 2, the lamps of several (the number can be set as required, for example, 2, 3, 4, etc.) vehicle sensing units are always arranged in front of the vehicle, and the vehicle is lighted and guided to reach the designated parking space, and after the visitor vehicle enters the parking space, the system control unit 1 determines the parking space of the vehicle. When the owner of the visitor vehicle enters the garage after the work is finished, a vehicle searching intelligent terminal (namely the vehicle tracking unit 3) is arranged at a pedestrian entrance and exit of each garage, the vehicle tracking unit 3 can distinguish the existence and the requirement of a human body through human body induction, the operation communication with the person is completed through voice recognition or character recognition, and finally the parking space of the visitor vehicle and the path of the current position are displayed on a screen to complete the vehicle searching operation. When the visitor vehicle exits from the parking space through license plate verification, the parking space where the visitor vehicle is just parked is set to be in a warning state. The system can help the visitor to quickly find the authorized parking space to park the vehicle, and help the visitor to quickly find the vehicle when the visitor leaves, and plan a path to guide the visitor to leave.
