Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a paid parking management system.
  • the invention relates to a paid parking management system making it possible to simplify the control of parked vehicles by speeding up the detection of offending vehicles by the surveillance officers, that is to say the vehicles for which the parking tax has not been paid or has been paid incompletely or is in a prohibited parking situation.

  • the purpose of the ticket 26 is simply to constitute a receipt for the payment made for the motorist and possibly to remind him of the parking time limit. This ticket 26 does not intervene in the effective control of the parking as will appear in the following description.
  • Terminal 12 further includes a key keyboard 28 allowing the motorist, before introducing the parts into the slot 16, to introduce into the machine identification information of his vehicle.
  • This identification information can consist of the entire vehicle registration number or only a part of this number, or even a number identifying the parking location where the motorist left his vehicle. In the latter case, each location must be delimited and identified by a number.
  • the information entered using the keyboard 28 is decoded by the decoder 30 and stored in a memory circuit 32.

  • the portable terminal 14 carried by the attendant responsible for parking surveillance also includes a keyboard 40 for entering the information terminal and a display panel 42 for temporarily displaying the information entered by the keyboard 40.
  • the terminal 14 includes also a microprocessor 43 whose functions can be broken down into a decoder 44 decoding the information entered using the keyboard 40, a comparator 46 for comparing the information delivered by the decoder 44 with information stored in a main memory 48, the storage of this information being described later.
  • the microprocessor also comprises second comparison means 50 for comparing information stored in the memory 48 with present time information delivered by a clock circuit 52. The result of this comparison can control an alarm circuit 54.
  • the use of the portable terminal 14 is as follows: when the attendant wants to monitor the parked vehicles in the zone controlled by the parking terminal 12, he connects his portable terminal 14 to the terminal 12 to store in the memory 48 of terminal 14 all the information read by memory 32 of terminal 12. This collection of information can be done via the connection system 34 of the terminal and using a temporary wired link shown by line 56.
  • the attendant When the attendant has reproduced in the memory 48 of the terminal all of the information in the memory 32, that is to say the set of information relating on the one hand to the identification information of a vehicle and at the time limit for parking for this vehicle, the attendant simply passes in front of each vehicle on a parking space to enter using the keyboard 40 the identification information ication of the vehicle.
  • This information is compared with the different identification information contained in the memory 48 via the comparator 46. If the identification element entered by the keyboard 40 is not found in the memory 48, it is because the motorist owner of the corresponding vehicle has not paid any parking fee or has paid a parking fee which corresponded to an authorized parking time limit that has elapsed for a period greater than the grace period at the time of entering the data in memory 48 of the portable terminal. Comparator 46 then sends a signal to comparator 50 which itself triggers the alarm circuit 54.
  • This alarm circuit 54 can in turn show on the display panel 42, next to the identification number which has just been entered, a characteristic sign. If on the contrary, the identification information 40 is found among the information stored in the memory 48, which is detected by the comparator 46, this coincidence causes, via the comparator 50, the comparison between the parking time limit associated with this element of identification with the present weather information delivered by the clock 52. If the parking time limit is later than the present weather information, this of course means that the vehicle is in regular parking. If, on the contrary, the parking limit time is earlier than the present time information by a duration greater than the grace period, the comparator 50 triggers the alarm circuit 54 which in turn shows on the display panel 52 a conventional sign indicating that the vehicle is parked irregularly.
  • the terminal 12 and the portable terminal 14 could comprise other means of inputting information, for example speech control devices capable of recognizing a limited number of instructions defined in the advanced.
  • the information stored in the memory 32 of the terminal can be copied into the memory 48 of the portable terminal, not by a wired link, but, for example, by infrared radiation, or any other type of radiation capable of transmitting a coded information.
  • terminal 12 is provided with an infrared transceiver which can be activated remotely
  • terminal 14 is also provided with an infrared transceiver for activating the terminal transmitter and for receiving signals coded delivered by the terminal transmitter.

  • the parking terminal 100 further comprises a keyboard 116, similar to the keyboard 28 of the figure 1 so that motorists can enter certain information in the terminal, in particular information identifying their vehicle.
  • the output of the keyboard 116 is connected to a decoder 118 itself connected to a memory circuit 120 which is also connected to the output of the coin selector 106.
  • the memory 120 contains pairs of information consisting of identification information of a parked vehicle entered using the keyboard 116 and of parking limit time information. This latter information is produced by the calculation circuit 107 which receives on the one hand the signal delivered by the coin selector 106 and on the other hand present time information delivered by a clock circuit 109.
  • the terminal also includes a transmitter, for example a radio transmitter 122, capable of transmitting information to the outside.
  • the terminal also includes in return a radio receiver 124 capable of permanently entering the terminal of the information transmitted as will be explained later by the portable terminal 102, the output of the receiver 124 being connected to a storage memory 126.

  • the terminal 100 includes a circuit 130 for periodically reading the time information contained in the memory 120 and a comparison circuit 132 for comparing the time information read with the present time information delivered by the clock 109. If the time information read is earlier than the present time information by a duration greater than the grace period, the comparison circuit commands the erasure in the memory 120 of the time information read and the corresponding identification information. Consequently, at a given instant, the memory 120 contains only pairs of information relating to vehicles parked regularly within the grace period.
  • the portable terminal 102 used by the proposed monitor for paid parking, it has a keyboard 140 for entering information into the terminal, including vehicle identification information.
  • the output of the keyboard 140 is connected to a decoder 142 capable of introducing the information entered by the keyboard 140 into a storage memory 144.

  • This information, received by the receiver 124, is temporarily stored in the memory 126.
  • the arrival of this information in memory 126 causes a comparison process by the comparator 126 between the information contained in the memory 126 and all of the identification information contained in the memory 120. If the identification element of the memory 126 is actually in the memory 120, the transmitter 122 emits no signal, the vehicle being in regular parking. It can also transmit a particular signal picked up by the receiver 148 to make appear a sign indicating that the vehicle is in regular parking.
  • the comparator 128 If the identification information stored in the memory 126 is not found among the identification information stored in the memory 120, that is to say if the corresponding vehicle is in irregular parking, this situation is detected by the comparator 128 and the transmitter 122 sends a warning signal to the terminal 102. This signal received by the receiver 148 directly excites the warning circuit 156.
  • this second embodiment is even simpler to use for the attendant since there is not even the initial loading of the memory of the portable terminal. It is of course necessary to choose a mode of transmission of information between the parking terminal and the portable terminal which is compatible with the environmental conditions which are found in such cases. For this purpose, these transmissions can be carried out by radio transceivers transmitting in the 150 MHz band.

It also delivers the information which must be written on the magnetic strip of the card via the control circuit 212. Finally the microprocessor 220 is connected to its associated memory 222. Finally, the microprocessor receives on one of its inputs a time signal delivered by a clock circuit 224.

If the latter does not contain identification information, the microprocessor 220 controls the display on the panel 214 of an instruction inviting the motorist to enter using the keyboard 202 his identification information which is recorded then in the first zone of the magnetic strip after validation by the motorist. This information is the vehicle registration number. Then the motorist enters using the keyboard 202 the desired parking time.

If the motorist agrees with the information displayed, he presses a validation button 240. The microprocessor then calculates the difference between the amount read on the magnetic strip and the corresponding amount or the desired parking time. The writing circuit 212 is controlled to erase the rising amount on the magnetic strip of the card and to write the difference which has just been calculated instead. The microprocessor transfers into its memory 222 the identification information read on entered by the keyboard 202 and the authorized parking time limit. The card is then returned to the motorist.
