Description

La présente invention concerne un système automatique d'enregistrement et gestion du stationnement des véhicules, notamment en zone urbaine.The present invention relates to an automatic system for recording and managing the parking of vehicles, in particular in urban areas.

Tous les responsables des villes sont confrontés aux difficiles problèmes de stationnement des véhicules en nombre sans cesse croissant. Il est important que les particuliers trouvent à garer leur véhicule près du lieu où ils désirent se rendre, que ce soit par exemple sur la voierie existante, le long des voies ou sur les contre-­allées attenantes ou éventuellement sur les autres emplacements disponibles.All city officials are faced with the difficult problems of parking vehicles in ever-increasing numbers. It is important that individuals find their vehicle near the place where they want to go, for example on existing roads, along the tracks or on the adjoining back alleys or possibly on other available locations.

Le stationnement des véhicules sur ces places disponibles comporte dans son état actuel les inconvénients suivants :
- existence de "voitures ventouses" bloquant la rotation de stationnement lorsque les emplacements correspondants ne sont pas équipés de parcmètres payants et, dans le cas contraire,
- nécessité d'un personnel important de surveillance et de gestion pour notamment, d'une part, contrôler le paiement effectif du stationnement par les automobilistes et verbaliser si nécessaire, et d'autre part, relever fréquemment les recettes et assurer la maintenance inévitable et coûteuse des postes de parcmètre dûe notamment au vandalisme.Parking vehicles on these available spaces has the following disadvantages in its current state:
- existence of "suction cars" blocking the rotation of parking when the corresponding spaces are not equipped with paid parking meters and, if not,
- need for a large supervisory and management staff, in particular, on the one hand, to control the actual payment for parking by motorists and to pay charges if necessary, and on the other hand, to collect revenue frequently and ensure unavoidable maintenance and expensive parking meter posts due in particular to vandalism.

L'invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients en améliorant l'occupation de ces places de stationnement tout en apportant une plus grande sûreté aux automobilistes, contre le vol des véhicules ainsi stationnés.The invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by improving the occupancy of these parking spaces while providing greater security to motorists, against theft of vehicles thus parked.

Le système de gestion du stationnement selon l'invention est essentiellement caractérisé en ce que les emplacements de l'aire de stationnement considérée sont munis chacun d'un dispositif de verrouillage escamotable du positionnement des véhicules garés, ce dispositif étant commandé en fonctionnement sous la surveillance d'un dispositif de détection classique des véhicules garés par une unité de commande centralisée enregistrant et validant les instructions de stationnement des clients sur chaque emplacement identifié.The parking management system according to the invention is essentially characterized in that the locations of the parking area considered are each provided with a retractable locking device for positioning the parked vehicles, this device being controlled in operation under surveillance. of a classic detection system for vehicles parked by a centralized control unit recording and validating customers' parking instructions on each identified location.

La validation du stationnement est de préférence effectuée directement par l'intermédiaire de cartes de paiement dans un poste horodateur, ce qui supprime les tentatives de vandalisme connu sur les 5 postes horodateurs à monnaie usuels.The validation of the parking is preferably carried out directly by means of payment cards in a parking meter, which eliminates attempts of vandalism known on the 5 conventional parking meters.

Il résulte de cette disposition que les automobilistes utilisateurs ne sont pas tentés de frauder puisqu'ils ne peuvent retirer leur véhicule des emplacements de stationnement sans l'autorisation de ladite unité centralisée commandant le verrouillage et donc le déverrouillage de positionnement des véhicules garés.It follows from this provision that motorists users are not tempted to defraud since they cannot withdraw their vehicle from the parking spaces without the authorization of said centralized unit controlling the locking and therefore the unlocking of positioning of the parked vehicles.

Les recettes correspondantes seront donc plus importantes.The corresponding revenues will therefore be greater.

Par ailleurs, en raison du verrouillage de positionnement des véhicules garés sans l'autorisation du client, les véhicules sont mieux protégés contre le vol.In addition, due to the positioning lock of vehicles parked without customer authorization, the vehicles are better protected against theft.

Enfin, du fait que le système est entièrement automatique la charge de surveillance est réduite.Finally, because the system is fully automatic, the monitoring load is reduced.

Ledit dispositif de verrouillage consiste en l'ensemble d'éléments de bordure fixes rapportés délimitant latéralement chacun des emplacements de stationnement sur au moins l'un de ses côtés en fonction des éléments de génie civil déjà existants (mur, muret, talus, barrière etc..) et en des éléments escamotables formant en service butée de positionnement pour le véhicule garé sur l'un des côtés libres et d'accès à l'emplacement.Said locking device consists of the set of attached fixed edge elements laterally delimiting each of the parking spaces on at least one of its sides according to the already existing civil engineering elements (wall, low wall, embankment, barrier, etc.). ..) and in retractable elements forming in service positioning stop for the vehicle parked on one of the free sides and access to the location.

Ledit ou lesdits éléments butée escamotables peuvent consister avantageusement en une borne télescopique disposée en position centrale sur le côté d'accès à l'emplacement, s'effaçant à la surface du sol en vue de l'accès à l'emplacement par le véhicule et s'élevant d'une hauteur suffisante pour emprisonner en coopération avec lesdits éléments de bordure et les éléments de génie civil existants le véhicule garé.Said or said retractable abutment elements may advantageously consist of a telescopic bollard disposed in a central position on the side of access to the location, disappearing on the ground surface for access to the location by the vehicle and rising from a height sufficient to imprison in cooperation with said curb elements and the existing civil engineering elements the parked vehicle.

Ledit élément de détection du véhicule peut être une boucle magnétique de détection des véhicules implantée dans le revêtement de sol de chaque emplacement, ou encore un dispositif détectant la pression tel qu'un cordon ou tuyau souple d'air comprimé, un détecteur radar de proximité etc..Said vehicle detection element can be a magnetic loop for detecting vehicles located in the floor covering of each location, or a pressure detecting device such as a cord or flexible hose of compressed air, a proximity radar detector. etc.

Ladite unité de commande du verrouillage est avantageusement un automate convenablement relié au poste horodateur d'enregistrement et validation des cartes de stationnement des clients attaché à l'aire de stationnement concernée, aux circuits de détection des véhicules sur les emplacements et aux éléments moteurs des bornes télescopiques qui pourront être de simples vérins hydrauliques ou pneumatiques.Said locking control unit is advantageously an automaton suitably connected to the parking time stamping and validation station for customers' parking cards attached to the concerned parking area, to the vehicle detection circuits on the locations and to the terminal driving elements. telescopic which can be simple hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders.

Chaque automate de chacune des aires d'emplacements de stationnement peut être sous la dépendance par liaison câblée ou hertzienne d'un poste central de surveillance, lequel sera averti de toute fausse manoeuvre et pourra y remédier à distance.Each automated system in each of the parking space areas may be under the control of a central monitoring station by cable or wireless link, which will be warned of any false maneuver and may remedy it remotely.

L'invention est à présent décrite à l'aide d'exemples de réalisation et en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :

  • - La figure 1 est une vue de dessus d'une aire de stationnement équipée du système automatique de gestion et d'enregistrement selon l'invention ;
  • - Les figures 2a et 2b représentent la borne télescopique respectivement en position abaissée et élevée,
  • - La figure 3 montre une aire de stationnement avec des emplacements configurés en épis,
  • - La figure 4 montre une aire de stationnement plus spécialement disposée en contre-allée d'une voie avec des emplacements alignés, et
  • - Les figures 5a, 5b et 5c montrent des variantes d'éléments escamotables verrouillant en service le véhicule dans son emplacement de stationnement.
The invention is now described with the aid of exemplary embodiments and with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • - Figure 1 is a top view of a parking area equipped with the automatic management and recording system according to the invention;
  • FIGS. 2 a and 2 b represent the telescopic bollard respectively in the lowered and raised position,
  • - Figure 3 shows a parking area with locations configured as spikes,
  • FIG. 4 shows a parking area more specially arranged in counter-aisle of a lane with aligned locations, and
  • - Figures 5 a , 5 b and 5 c show variants of retractable elements in service locking the vehicle in its parking space.

Avec référence à la figure 1, on a représenté une aire de stationnement 1 comportant des emplacements 3 de part et d'autre d'une voie d'accès 5, ces emplacements 3 étant disposés adjacents l'un à l'autre et perpendiculaires à la voie d'accès 5. Le stationnement sur ces emplacements est payant et un poste horodateur d'enregistement et validation du stationnement 7 a été représenté pour 14 emplacements. Le paiement s'effectue par carte de paiement classique à introduire dans une fente de l'horodateur 7. Les emplacements sont munis chacun d'un circuit magnétique de détection 9 des véhicules implanté dans le revêtement de surface des emplacements.With reference to FIG. 1, there is shown a parking area 1 comprising locations 3 on either side of an access road 5, these locations 3 being arranged adjacent to each other and perpendicular to the access road 5. There is a charge for parking on these sites and a parking and parking time stamping station 7 has been shown for 14 sites. Payment is made by conventional payment card to be inserted into a slot in the parking meter 7. The locations are each provided with a magnetic circuit 9 for detecting vehicles installed in the surface coating of the locations.

Les emplacements comprennent également sur chacun de leur côté de longueur un élément de bordure 11 disposé proche de l'ouverture d'accès 13 de l'emplacement, ces éléments de bordure 11 guidant le véhicule en vue de son positionnement correct dans l'emplacement. Un muret 15 disposé à l'arrière tout le long du côté opposé à l'ouverture d'accès limite l'avancée des véhicules. Au niveau de l'ouverture d'accès 13 des emplacements et à un niveau relativement central de cette ouverture d'accès est disposée une borne télescopique 17 s'effaçant à la surface du sol (figure 2a) pour l'accès des véhicules aux emplacements et s'élevant (figure 2b) à la validation d'enregistrement du stationnement pour protéger le véhicule en position verrouillée dans son emplacement.The locations also include, on each of their length sides, an edge element 11 disposed close to the access opening 13 of the location, these edge elements 11 guiding the vehicle with a view to its correct positioning in the location. A low wall 15 disposed at the rear all along the side opposite to the access opening limits the advance of the vehicles. At the access opening 13 of the locations and at a relatively central level of this access opening is arranged a telescopic terminal 17 which disappears on the ground surface (FIG. 2a) for vehicle access to the locations and amounting (Figure 2b) to the validation of parking registration to protect the vehicle in the locked position in its location.

La borne est constituée d'une partie femelle ou enveloppe 19 enfouie dans le sol et d'une partie mâle ou corps 21 conçu pour résister aux chocs et monté coulissant dans cette enveloppe, le corps étant mû de façon classique par un vérin pneumatique 23 disposé axialement dans le corps. Le vérin est articulé à ses deux extrémités de façon à ne pas être endommagé par les inévitables chocs contre le corps télescopique. La partie supérieure de la borne peut comporter en outre un chapeau protecteur (non représenté) taré à une pression donnée (1 000 N par exemple), suffisante pour commander le retrait de la borne en cas de fausse manoeuvre du véhicule de manière à ne pas trop le détériorer, et pour que la borne ne soit pas manoeuvrée intempestivement. Les vérins 23 des emplacements sont commandés en action sélectivement via une centrale d'air et le réseau de distribution adéquat (non représenté).The terminal consists of a female part or casing 19 buried in the ground and a male part or body 21 designed to withstand shocks and slidably mounted in this casing, the body being moved in a conventional manner by a pneumatic cylinder 23 disposed axially in the body. The cylinder is articulated at its two ends so as not to be damaged by the inevitable impacts against the telescopic body. The upper part of the terminal may also include a protective cap (not shown) calibrated at a given pressure (1000 N for example), sufficient to control the withdrawal of the terminal in the event of a false maneuver of the vehicle so as not to damage it too much, and so that the bollard is not operated inadvertently. The cylinders 23 of the locations are selectively controlled in action via an air center and the appropriate distribution network (not shown).

La borne peut eventuellement recevoir un élément d'éclairage et porter le numéro d'identification de l'emplacement.The bollard can possibly receive a lighting element and carry the identification number of the location.

Comme représenté à la figure 3, la configuration des emplacements peut également être en épis orientée suivant le sens d'accès aux emplacements (flèche). Elle peut également être de type linéaire sur une contre-allée de la voierie comme représenté à la figure 4, l'accès aux emplacements se faisant par une manoeuvre de créneau entre les éléments de bordure aux extrémités.As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration of the locations can also be in a spike oriented along the direction of access to the locations (arrow). It can also be of the linear type on a counter-alley of the roadway as shown in FIG. 4, the access to the locations being by a slot maneuver between the edge elements at the ends.

Dans toutes ces configurations, l'utilisation du système reste la même.In all these configurations, the use of the system remains the same.

Les emplacements libres ont leur borne 17 effacée à la surface du sol permettant l'accès des véhicules. L'usager désirant garer son véhicule l'introduit dans l'emplacement en s'aidant des éléments de bordure 11 comme guide. Un tampon souple peut être prévu à l'avant (sur le muret) servant de butée d'avancement au véhicule dans l'emplacement. Le véhicule étant parfaitement garé dans son emplacement, l'usager repère le numéro de l'emplacement (numéro de borne) et se rend au poste horodateur 7 pour y introduire sa carte de paiement à facturation automatique; il enregistre le numéro de l'emplacement utilisé et valide l'enregistrement avec un bouton poussoir. Le véhicule sur l'emplacement souhaité ayant bien été détecté, la carte étant bien créditée, la validation de l'enregistrement a lieu et la borne sort de terre sous la commande de l'automate d'une hauteur de 35 cm environ. Le véhicule ne peut plus sortir sans l'autorisation de l'usager.The free spaces have their terminal 17 erased on the ground surface allowing vehicle access. The user wishing to park his vehicle introduces it into the location using the border elements 11 as a guide. A flexible buffer may be provided at the front (on the wall) serving as a travel stop for the vehicle in the location. The vehicle being perfectly parked in its location, the user locates the location number (terminal number) and goes to the parking meter 7 to introduce his automatic billing payment card; it records the number of the location used and validates the recording with a push button. The vehicle in the desired location having been detected, the card being well credited, the validation of the registration takes place and the terminal emerges from the ground under the control of the automaton from a height of approximately 35 cm. The vehicle can no longer leave without the user's authorization.

Si l'usager ne réalise pas la procédure d'enregistrement et de validation, l'automate commandera la sortie de la borne après un délai de quelques minutes, laissant ainsi un "temps de grâce" de très courte durée.If the user does not perform the registration and validation procedure, the machine will order leaving the terminal after a delay of a few minutes, thus leaving a very short "grace period".

Ce temps de grâce est préalablement défini par les responsables du stationnement.This grace period is previously defined by the parking managers.

Au retour, l'usager introduit sa carte magnétique dans le lecteur qui indique le montant débité sur la carte. Ensuite, l'usager valide le montant débité, ce qui commande à l'automate l'effacement de la borne. Cette borne restera effacée suffisamment longtemps pour permettre à l'usager de dégager son véhicule. La borne restera effacée jusqu'au stationnement d'un autre véhicule.On return, the user inserts his magnetic card into the reader which indicates the amount debited from the card. Then, the user validates the debited amount, which commands the machine to erase the terminal. This terminal will remain erased long enough to allow the user to free his vehicle. The terminal will remain erased until the parking of another vehicle.

Si après cette validation du montant débité l'usager ne dégage pas assez rapidement son véhicule, la borne remonte au bout de quelques minutes. L'usager doit alors recommencer la procédure de validation par laquelle sera débité un montant supplémentaire correspondant au stationnement supplémentaire.If after this validation of the amount debited the user does not release his vehicle quickly enough, the terminal will go up after a few minutes. The user must then repeat the validation procedure by which an additional amount corresponding to the additional parking will be debited.

Il est également possible que le conducteur pressé ou croyant stationner moins que le temps de grâce accordé n'aille pas à l'horodateur pour enregistrer avec sa carte son emplacement. Il s'éloigne donc immédiatement. S'il revient avant la fin de ce temps de "grâce" il peut reprendre son véhicule librement, la borne de gardiennage étant restée en position effacée.It is also possible that the driver in a hurry or believing to park less than the granted grace time may not go to the parking meter to record his location with his card. So he goes away immediately. If he returns before the end of this grace period, he can take back his vehicle freely, the guard terminal having remained in the erased position.

S'il revient au delà de cet intervalle de temps, il ne pourra pas reprendre son véhicule qui se trouvera protégé par la borne sortie automatiquement de terre.If he returns beyond this time interval, he will not be able to take back his vehicle which will be protected by the terminal automatically removed from the ground.

Dans ce cas, repérant le numéro de l'emplacement où se trouve son véhicule, il ira à l'horodateur, mettra sa carte magnétique dans la fente prévue à cet effet (s'il n'a pas de carte il devra à l'endroit le plus proche s'en procurer une), frappera sur le clavier le numéro de son emplacement. L'écran lui indiquera que cette place n'a pas été enregistrée normalement et lui précisera la manoeuvre à faire (appui la sur touche réservée à cet effet) et indiquera que son paiement est majoré. Cette manoeuvre étant réalisée, la somme ainsi majorée sera débitée de sa carte magnétique pour non respect de la procédure normale.In this case, finding the number of the location where his vehicle is located, he will go to the parking meter, put his magnetic card in the slot provided for this purpose (if he does not have a card he will have to nearest place to get one), will key on the keyboard the number of its location. The screen will indicate to him that this place has not been registered normally and will specify the maneuver to be made (press the key reserved for this purpose) and will indicate that his payment is increased. This maneuver being carried out, the sum thus increased will be debited from its magnetic card for non-compliance with normal procedure.

La majoration de la tarification dans ce cas incitera à une discipline d'utilisation de ce dispositif et ainsi, apportera une protection supplémentaire contre le vol du véhicule, dans l'intérêt de l'usager.The increase in pricing in this case will encourage discipline in the use of this device and thus, will provide additional protection against theft of the vehicle, in the interest of the user.

Par ailleurs, seule la carte magnétique qui a été utilisée pour l'enregistrement du stationnement peut permettre l'effacement de la borne et donc le dégagement du véhicule.Furthermore, only the magnetic card that was used for parking registration can clear the terminal and therefore release the vehicle.

En cas de perte de sa carte magnétique, l'usager devra appeler le poste central qui lui indiquera la procédure à suivre.In case of loss of his magnetic card, the user must call the central station which will indicate the procedure to follow.

On notera à titre de variante que la borne télescopique peut être remplacée par une plaque articulée 17a transversalement à l'entrée de l'emplacement (figure 5a) et formant barrière interdisant la sortie du véhicule garé, ou encore par un élément à pantographe articulé 17b (figure 5b) ou par un ensemble de rouleaux débrayables 17c (figure 5c) au niveau du sol.As a variant, it will be noted that the telescopic bollard can be replaced by an articulated plate 17a transversely at the entrance to the location (FIG. 5a) and forming a barrier preventing the exit from the parked vehicle, or even by an articulated pantograph element 17b (Figure 5b) or by a set of disengageable rollers 17c (Figure 5c) at ground level.

On notera également que la commande de la borne télescopique peut être opérée automatiquement et à distance par l'intermédiaire d'un boîtier ou d'une clef émettant un faisceau selectif sur un récepteur adéquate de la borne. La clef peut être la même que celle qui permet l'ouverture et la fermeture centralisée à distance des portes de la voiture. Cette utilisation pourra notamment être prévue en usage privé, protégeant du même coup l'utilisateur de toute tentative de vol ou d'intrusion sur son emplacement.It will also be noted that the control of the telescopic bollard can be operated automatically and remotely by means of a box or a key emitting a selective beam on a suitable receiver of the bollard. The key can be the same as that which allows remote opening and closing of the car doors. This use may in particular be provided for private use, thereby protecting the user from any theft or intrusion attempt on his site.
