- the invention relates to a method for managing parking spaces of vehicles.
- Document US5910782 proposes to equip the parking spaces with sensors to detect the physical presence of vehicles to determine whether the places are really free or not. Information provided by these sensors are collected and processed by a server which is then able to inform the motorists in free parking spaces.
- Such a system has the disadvantage of requiring the equipment of sensors of all the parking spaces, which represents a very heavy investment.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a method for managing vehicle parking spaces in a given area, which allows a motorist to be aware of the situation of parking spaces available in this sector, at no additional cost compared to the existing infrastructure.
- the motorist subscribed to the telecommunications network which required obtaining information indicative of the availability of parking spaces in a sector he has chosen, obtains such information before arriving at the audit sector and goes only to the sub-sectors of said sector which have parking spaces available. The motorist is then able to find a place at short notice.
- a motorist 1 subscribed to a network of telecommunications 2 wants to know where the parking spaces are located available in a given sector 3, for example a district of a city. That sector 3 is divided into sub-sectors, for example the streets and squares of said neighborhoods as well as the closed car parks it contains. Each sub-sector is provided with terminals 4 of parking.
- These terminals 4 can be parking meters for example of the type of parking meters sold by Schlumberger Systèmes under the brands registered DG and STELIO, capable of managing ten to twenty parking spaces, or then so-called closed parking terminals, for example terminals provided with a barrier intended to manage access and / or exit from such a car park.
- They include means for calculating data relating to the part of the sub-sector they manage.
- This transactional data is processed to determine regularly the number N of valid tickets.
- the terminals 4 further include means 5 for transmitting said data within a network 6.
- this network 6 is a network of cellular telecommunications of the GSM (Global System for Mobile) type communications).
- the means 5 are conventional means that have all mobile phones with access to a GSM network.
- a parking server 7 receives the indicative data transactions communicated by one or more parking terminals 4.
- This server 7 includes means for generating, from the data which are transmitted, information indicative of the occupation of the parking spaces in sector 3.
- the server collects the data provided by each parking meter 4 to reconstruct global information for the zone considered. then it processes them from statistical data on the number of places occupied by vehicles that have not paid for a ticket or have an expired ticket. and / or to from data on the existing relationship in the number of valid tickets and the number of vehicles actually present with a valid ticket.
- the data transmitted by the parking meters can thus be adjusted from statistical data or experience curves so as to correct the underpayment namely vehicles still in place after the expiration of their parking ticket or vehicles parking without a ticket, or overpayment to find out which vehicles left their parking space before the expiration of their ticket.
- the server thus develops an occupancy rate of the parking spaces in the area under consideration. It is interesting to note that this occupancy rate is directly deduced from the transactional data reported by the parking meters and that he therefore did not request any additional material means: his calculation is purely software.
- the server is also able, from transactional information which are regularly reported to it by parking meters 4. deduce trends and therefore to make projections over time. Indeed, the motorist who calls may either need immediate information regarding the occupancy rate of parking spaces insofar as they arrive in the area under consideration, i.e. need information regarding the hours to come as it is not yet in the area and should take into account his travel time.
- the server is then able to provide the motorist with the rate occupancy of parking spaces for any period to come (in the quarter of an hour that will follow or even in the half hour, etc.). Considering statistical data managed by the server, it is even possible to predict the rate of occupation in the days and weeks to come.
- the server is itself connected, for example in the Internet via a link 9 of the TCP / IP type, to another server 8 capable of communicating the information generated by the server 7 to the mobile equipment 10 of the motorist 1 subscriber who requires them.
- This other server 8 can also transmit other information complementary to the information generated by the parking server 7, by example, maps of sector 3 where indications on the recommended paths to motorist 1 to access the sub-sector of sector 3 where the spaces are located available.
- the mobile equipment 10 is in particular a mobile telephone provided with a screen 12 and a keyboard 11 or even a subscriber identification module (SIM) no shown in the figures.
- SIM subscriber identification module
- One of these choices offers information motorist 1 on the situation of available places in sector 3 that he has selected.
- a corresponding request is sent to server 8 which interrogates server 7, obtains the information from said server 7, then transmits to the mobile telephone 10 a response which the latter displays under the shape of the table shown in Figure 2 for the Etoile sector of the city of Paris.
- the motorist is immediately aware of the fact that avenue Foch does not offer available space, even though 77% of the 250 spaces of the parking lot on this avenue are occupied. He immediately sees that, if he wishes to go to the Place de l'Etoile, he should find available places located on avenue des Champs Elysées where only 20% of the forty places on this avenue are busy.
- said motorist 1 In the event that said motorist 1 would also like to be guided to the Champs Elysées, it sends a corresponding request to server 8 after having selected the Champs Elysées sub-sector.
- This server 8 which knows the position of motorist 1 in the GSM cellular network, will transmit to the mobile phone 10, data which will enable it to display the fastest route for access the Champs Elysées where he will find places available.
- the mobile phone can be replaced by any other means of access to information on the occupancy rate of parking spaces: office, car navigation systems, panels information, etc.

Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne un procédé de gestion de places de stationnement de véhicules.The invention relates to a method for managing parking spaces of vehicles.
En milieu urbain, il est fréquent que des automobilistes rencontrent des difficultés à trouver immédiatement des places de stationnement disponibles. De ce fait, certains automobilistes cherchent parfois des places de stationnement pendant un long moment avant de trouver une place qui, bien souvent, n'est pas la mieux située par rapport à l'endroit auquel l'automobiliste souhaite se rendre.In urban areas, it is common for motorists to encounter difficulty finding immediately available parking spaces. From this fact, some motorists sometimes look for parking spaces during a long time before finding a place which is often not the best located relative to where the motorist wants to go.
Le document US5910782 propose d'équiper les places de stationnement de capteurs permettant de détecter la présence physique des véhicules afin de déterminer si les places sont réellement libres ou non. Les informations fournies par ces capteurs sont collectées et traitées par un serveur qui est alors à même d'informer les automobilistes sur les places de stationnement libres.Document US5910782 proposes to equip the parking spaces with sensors to detect the physical presence of vehicles to determine whether the places are really free or not. Information provided by these sensors are collected and processed by a server which is then able to inform the motorists in free parking spaces.
Un tel système présente l'inconvénient de nécessiter l'équipement en capteurs de toutes les places de stationnement, ce qui représente un investissement très lourd.Such a system has the disadvantage of requiring the equipment of sensors of all the parking spaces, which represents a very heavy investment.
L'objet de la présente invention est de réaliser un procédé de gestion de places de stationnement de véhicules dans un secteur donné, qui permette à un automobiliste d'avoir connaissance de la situation des places de stationnement disponibles dans ce secteur, et ce sans surcoût par rapport à l'infrastructure existante.The object of the present invention is to provide a method for managing vehicle parking spaces in a given area, which allows a motorist to be aware of the situation of parking spaces available in this sector, at no additional cost compared to the existing infrastructure.
La solution proposée de l'invention à ce problème posé a pour objet un procédé qui se caractérise en ce que
- une borne de stationnement communique des données transactionnelles indicatives des droits de stationnement payés dans le secteur donné à un serveur de stationnement ;
- le serveur de stationnement génère des informations indicatives de la disponibilité de places de stationnement dans ledit secteur donné, lesdites informations étant basées, au moins en partie, sur lesdites données transactionnelles ;
- le serveur de stationnement communique directement ou indirectement lesdites informations à un équipement mobile d'un abonné à un réseau de télécommunications.
- a parking terminal communicates transactional data indicative of the parking fees paid in the given sector to a parking server;
- the parking server generates information indicative of the availability of parking spaces in said given sector, said information being based, at least in part, on said transactional data;
- the parking server communicates said information directly or indirectly to mobile equipment of a subscriber to a telecommunications network.
Ainsi, l'automobiliste abonné au réseau de télécommunications, qui a requis l'obtention d'informations indicatives de la disponibilité de places de stationnement dans un secteur qu'il a choisi, obtient de telles informations avant d'arriver audit secteur et se dirige uniquement vers les sous-secteurs dudit secteur qui possèdent des places de stationnement disponibles. L'automobiliste est alors à même de trouver une place à bref délai.Thus, the motorist subscribed to the telecommunications network, which required obtaining information indicative of the availability of parking spaces in a sector he has chosen, obtains such information before arriving at the audit sector and goes only to the sub-sectors of said sector which have parking spaces available. The motorist is then able to find a place at short notice.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de l'exposé non limitatif d'un exemple de mise en oeuvre de l'invention ci-après. Cet exposé doit être lu au regard des dessins ci-joints, dans lesquels :
- la figure 1 représente de manière schématique différents moyens susceptibles d'intervenir dans la mise en oeuvre d'un procédé selon l'invention ; et
- la figure 2 montre, sous la forme d'un tableau, les informations indicatives de l'occupation d'un ensemble des places de stationnement dans un secteur donné.
- FIG. 1 schematically represents different means capable of intervening in the implementation of a method according to the invention; and
- FIG. 2 shows, in the form of a table, the information indicative of the occupation of a set of parking spaces in a given sector.
Dans l'invention, un automobiliste 1 abonné à un réseau de
télécommunications 2 souhaite savoir où sont situées les places de stationnement
disponibles dans un secteur 3 donné, par exemple un quartier d'une ville. Ce secteur
3 est divisé en sous-secteurs par exemple les rues et places dudit quartiers ainsi que
les parkings fermés qu'il comporte. Chaque sous-secteur est muni de bornes 4 de
stationnement.In the invention, a motorist 1 subscribed to a network of
telecommunications 2 wants to know where the parking spaces are located
available in a given
Ces bornes 4 peuvent être des horodateurs par exemple du type des
horodateurs commercialisés par la Société Schlumberger Systèmes sous les marques
déposées DG et STELIO, aptes à gérer de dix à vingt places de stationnement, ou
alors des bornes de parkings dit fermés, par exemple des bornes munies d'une
barrière destinée à assurer la gestion de l'accès et/ou de la sortie d'un tel parking.These
Elles comportent des moyens pour calculer des données relatives à la partie du sous-secteur dont elles assurent la gestion.They include means for calculating data relating to the part of the sub-sector they manage.
En particulier, elles déterminent le nombre et la durée des droits de stationnement payés. Ces données transactionnelles sont traitées pour déterminer régulièrement le nombre N de tickets en cours de validité.In particular, they determine the number and duration of rights paid parking. This transactional data is processed to determine regularly the number N of valid tickets.
En pratique, les calculs réalisés par les horodateurs sont statistiques. Ils sont
destinés à donner une vision du remplissage des places la plus exacte possible. Les
bornes 4 comportent en outre des moyens 5 destinés à la transmission desdites
données au sein d'un réseau 6. Dans un exemple, ce réseau 6 est un réseau de
télécommunications cellulaire du type GSM (Global System for Mobile
communications). Dans ce cas, les moyens 5 sont des moyens classiques que
possèdent tous les téléphones mobiles ayant accès à un réseau GSM.In practice, the calculations made by the parking meters are statistical. They are
intended to give a vision of the filling of places as exact as possible. The
Dans l'invention, un serveur de stationnement 7 reçoit les données indicatives
des transactions communiquées par une ou plusieurs bornes 4 de stationnement. Ce
serveur 7 comporte des moyens pour générer, à partir des données qui lui sont
transmises, des informations indicatives de l'occupation des places de stationnement
dans le secteur 3.In the invention, a parking server 7 receives the indicative data
transactions communicated by one or
En particulier, le serveur rassemble les données fournies par chaque
horodateur 4 pour reconstituer une information globale pour la zone considérée. puis
il les traite à partir de données statistiques sur le nombre de places occupées par des
véhicules n'ayant pas acquitté de ticket ou bien disposant d'un ticket périmé. et/ou à
partir de données sur la relation existante en le nombre de tickets en cours de validité
et le nombre de véhicules réellement présents avec un ticket valide.In particular, the server collects the data provided by each
Les données transmises par les horodateurs peuvent ainsi être ajustées à partir de données statistiques ou de courbes d'expérience de façon à corriger le sous-paiement à savoir les véhicules toujours en place après la fin de la validité de leur ticket de stationnement ou véhicules stationnant sans ticket, ou le sur-paiement à savoir les véhicules ayant quitté leur place de stationnement avant l'expiration de leur ticket.The data transmitted by the parking meters can thus be adjusted from statistical data or experience curves so as to correct the underpayment namely vehicles still in place after the expiration of their parking ticket or vehicles parking without a ticket, or overpayment to find out which vehicles left their parking space before the expiration of their ticket.
Le serveur élabore ainsi un taux d'occupation des places de stationnement dans la zone considérée. Il est intéressant de noter que ce taux d'occupation est directement déduit des données transactionnelles remontées par les horodateurs et qu'il n'a donc demandé aucun moyen matériel supplémentaire : son calcul est purement logiciel.The server thus develops an occupancy rate of the parking spaces in the area under consideration. It is interesting to note that this occupancy rate is directly deduced from the transactional data reported by the parking meters and that he therefore did not request any additional material means: his calculation is purely software.
Le serveur est également à même, à partir des informations transactionnelles
qui lui sont régulièrement remontées par les horodateurs 4. de déduire des tendances
et donc de réaliser des projections dans le temps. En effet, l'automobiliste qui appelle
peut, soit avoir besoin d'une information immédiate quant au taux d'occupation des
places de stationnement dans la mesure où il arrive dans la zone considérée, soit
avoir besoin d'une information concernant les heures à venir dans la mesure où il
n'est pas encore sur zone et qu'il convient de prendre en compte son temps de trajet. The server is also able, from transactional information
which are regularly reported to it by
Le serveur est alors en mesure de fournir à l'automobiliste, le taux d'occupation des places de stationnement pour n'importe quelle période à venir (dans le quart d'heure qui va suivre ou bien encore dans la demi-heure, etc.). Compte tenu des données statistiques gérées par le serveur, il est même possible de prévoir le taux d'occupation dans les jours et semaines à venir.The server is then able to provide the motorist with the rate occupancy of parking spaces for any period to come (in the quarter of an hour that will follow or even in the half hour, etc.). Considering statistical data managed by the server, it is even possible to predict the rate of occupation in the days and weeks to come.
Le serveur est lui-même relié, par exemple dans l'Internet via une liaison 9
du type TCP/IP, à un autre serveur 8 susceptible de communiquer les informations
générées par le serveur 7 à l'équipement mobile 10 de l'automobiliste 1 abonné qui
les requiert. Cet autre serveur 8 peut en outre transmettre d'autres informations
complémentaires des informations générées par le serveur de stationnement 7, par
exemple, des cartes du secteur 3 où des indications sur les chemins conseillés à
l'automobiliste 1 pour accéder au sous-secteur du secteur 3 où sont situées les places
disponibles.The server is itself connected, for example in the Internet via a
L'équipement mobile 10 est notamment un téléphone mobile muni d'un écran
12 et d'un clavier 11 voire d'un module d'identification abonné (SIM) non
représenté sur les figures.The
Lorsque l'automobiliste 1 souhaite trouver une place de parking clans le
secteur 3, il se connecte au réseau GSM auquel il est abonné, au moyen de son
téléphone mobile 10. Grâce au clavier 11 dudit téléphone 10, il parcourt
l'arborescence d'un menu présenté sur l'écran 12 du téléphone 10 qui le conduit à
accéder à l'Internet selon le protocole WAP (Wireless Application Protocol). Une
fois connecté à l'Internet, il sélectionne l'adresse Internet (URL) du serveur 8 puis
sélectionne une ville. Le serveur 8 transmet alors un plan de la ville au téléphone
mobile 10. Ce plan est affiché sur l'écran du téléphone 10 et l'automobiliste 1 peut
alors sélectionner le secteur 3 dudit plan en déplaçant un curseur de l'écran 12 au
moyen du clavier 11. Un nouveau menu apparaít alors à l'écran 12 proposant
différents choix à l'automobiliste 1. Un de ces choix propose de renseigner
l'automobiliste 1 sur la situation des places disponibles dans le secteur 3 qu'il a
choisi. Lorsque l'automobiliste 1 fait ce choix, une requête correspondante est
envoyée au serveur 8 qui interroge le serveur 7, obtient les informations dudit
serveur 7, puis transmet au téléphone mobile 10 une réponse que celui-ci affiche sous
la forme du tableau montré à la figure 2 pour le secteur Etoile de la ville de Paris. En
voyant ce tableau, l'automobiliste a immédiatement connaissance du fait que
l'avenue Foch ne propose pas de place disponible et ce, même si 77 % des 250 places
du parking de cette avenue sont occupées. Il voit immédiatement que, s'il souhaite se
rendre à la place de l'Etoile, il devrait trouver des places disponibles situées sur
l'avenue des Champs Elysées où seulement 20 % des quarante places de cette avenue
sont occupées. Toutefois, il sait que la tendance, en ce qui concerne l'évolution du
nombre de places disponibles sur l'avenue des Champs Elysées, est à la baisse. De ce
fait, et compte tenu du fait que le chiffre de 40 places est faible, l'automobiliste
prend conscience du fait qu'il doit se rendre rapidement Avenue des Champs
Elysées.When motorist 1 wishes to find a parking space in the
Dans le cas où ledit automobiliste 1 souhaiterait en outre être guidé jusqu'aux
Champs Elysées, il envoie une requête correspondante au serveur 8 après avoir
sélectionné le sous-secteur Champs Elysées. Ce serveur 8, qui connaít la position de
l'automobiliste 1 dans le réseau cellulaire GSM, va transmettre au téléphone mobile
10, des données qui vont lui permettre d'afficher le parcours le plus rapide pour
accéder aux champs Elysées où il trouvera des places disponibles.In the event that said motorist 1 would also like to be guided to the
Champs Elysées, it sends a corresponding request to
Bien entendu, l'exemple ci-dessus n'est nullement limitatif de l'invention et l'homme du métier pourra, par des opérations de routine, accéder à des variantes dudit exemple tout en restant dans le cadre de l'objet protégé de l'invention.Of course, the above example is in no way limitative of the invention and the person skilled in the art will be able, by routine operations, to access variants of said example while remaining within the scope of the protected object of the invention.
Ainsi, le téléphone mobile peut être remplacé par tout autre moyen d'accès à l'information du taux d'occupation des places de stationnement : ordinateur de bureau, systèmes de navigation embarqués dans les automobiles, panneaux d'information, etc.Thus, the mobile phone can be replaced by any other means of access to information on the occupancy rate of parking spaces: office, car navigation systems, panels information, etc.
