Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein System zur Parkraumbewirtschaftung und/oder Fahrzeugregistrierung mit Fahrzeugerfassung im Innen- und Außenbereich durch Magnetfeld-Verkehrs-Sensoren.The invention relates to a system for parking space management and / or vehicle registration with vehicle detection in the interior and exterior by magnetic field traffic sensors.

Im Rahmen von Parkbewirtschaftungs- und/oder Verkehrsleitsystemen kommen verschiedenste Sensoren zur Registrierung und Zählung von beteiligten Fahrzeugen zum Einsatz. In der Regel werden die beteiligten Fahrzeuge bei Einfahrt in ein solches System mittels Induktionssensoren registriert und in Abhängigkeit von vorhandenem Parkraum bzw. vorhandenem Verkehrsaufkommen werden die Fahrzeuge dann mit Hilfe von wegweisenden Anzeigen in entsprechend gewünschte Richtung geführt. Induktionsschleifen sowie wegweisende Anzeigen beispielsweise Lichtsignale können sowohl im Innen- als auch im Außenbereich eines Parkbewirtschaftungsraumes angebracht sein. Innerhalb von überdachten Parkhäusern kann zusätzlich eine Messung der Stellplatzbelegung mittels Ultraschallsensoren statt finden. Diese Einzelplatzmessung gibt dann einen genauen Überblick über die jeweilige Stellplatzbelegung. Die Belegung kann zudem am einzelnen Stellplatz angezeigt werden. Innerhalb des überdachten Bereiches eines Parkhauses ist dadurch eine genaue Kenntnis des jeweiligen Belegzustandes in den unterschiedlichen Parkarealen gewährleistet. Eine detaillierte und genaue Wegweisung von Fahrern, die in den Parkbewirtschaftungsraum einfahren ist hierdurch möglich.In the context of parking management and / or traffic control systems a variety of sensors for registration and counting of vehicles involved are used. In general, the vehicles involved are registered upon entry into such a system by means of induction sensors and depending on existing parking space or existing traffic, the vehicles are then guided by means of trailblazing displays in accordance with desired direction. Induction loops and trailblazing displays such as light signals can be installed both in the interior and in the outdoor area of a park management room. Within covered car parks, a measurement of the parking space occupancy by means of ultrasonic sensors can additionally take place. This single-station measurement then provides an exact overview of the respective parking space occupancy. The occupancy can also be displayed on the single parking space. Within the covered area of a parking garage an accurate knowledge of the respective document status is guaranteed in the different parking areas.

Autos zu einem Parkplatz in Abhängigkeit von der Größe des Fahrzeuges, welche mit Hilfe von Bilderkennung ermittelt wird, bekannt.JP 09091591-A discloses a system for guiding vehicles, for example cars, to a parking space as a function of the size of the vehicle, which is determined with the aid of image recognition.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein System anzugeben, welches auf einfache und kostengünstige Weise eine Führung bzw. Leitung von Fahrzeugen zu geeigneten Stellplätzen in Abhängigkeit vom Fahrzeugtyp ermöglicht.The invention has for its object to provide a system which allows a simple and inexpensive way a leadership or management of vehicles to suitable parking spaces depending on the vehicle type.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein System zur Parkraumbewirtschaftung und/oder Fahrzeugregistrierung mit Fahrzeugerfassung im Innen- und/oder Außenbereich durch Magnetfeld-Verkehrs-Sensoren gelöst, wobei eine Registriervorrichtung zur Registrierung eines in den bewirtschafteten Parkbereichs einfahrenden Fahrzeugs, eine Klassifizierung zur Klassifizierung eines Fahrzeugtyps des eingefahrenen Fahrzeugs, eine Zuordnungsvorrichtung zur Zuweisung eines Parkareals mit für den Fahrzeugtyp geeigneten Stellplätzen, Mittel zur Hinterlegung der Registrierung und Klassifizierung des Fahrzeugs sowie des dem Fahrzeug zugewiesenen Parkareals in lesbarer und/oder maschinenlesbarer Form, eine Leitvorrichtung zur Wegweisung des Fahrers des Fahrzeugs zu dem zugewiesenen Parkareal, Mittel zur Routenverfolgung des registrierten Fahrzeugs innerhalb des bewirtschafteten Parkbereichs und eine weitere Registriervorrichtung zur Registrierung eines den bewirtschafteten Parkbereichs verlassenden Fahrzeugs vorgesehen sind.This object is achieved by a system for parking space management and / or vehicle registration with vehicle detection in indoor and / or outdoor area by magnetic field traffic sensors, a registration device for registering a vehicle in the managed parking area incoming vehicle, a classification for classifying a vehicle type of retracted A vehicle, an allocation device for allocating a parking area with suitable parking spaces for the vehicle type, means for depositing the registration and classification of the vehicle and the parking area assigned to the vehicle in readable and / or machine-readable form, a routing device for directing the driver of the vehicle to the assigned parking area , Means for tracking the registered vehicle within the managed parking area and a further registration device for registering a vehicle leaving the managed parking area provide n are.

Der Erfindung liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, dass in einem Parkbewirtschaftungssystem eine möglichst effiziente und genaue Zählung und Wegweisung der beteiligten Fahrzeuge erfolgen sollte. In Parkleitsystemen, die mit Induktionssensoren arbeiten, treten bei der Ermittlung der Anzahl der beteiligten Fahrzeuge Fehler im Bereich von 20 % bis 30 % auf, d.h., dass eine unzureichende Genauigkeit von 70 % bis 80 % erreicht wird. Bei den Kosten, die bei der Bewirtschaftung von Parkraum vor allem im urbanen Bereich auftreten, ist es deswegen vorteilhaft, eine möglichst genaue Zählung der Fahrzeuge zu erreichen. Je genauer die Zählung desto effizienter ist das System und desto effizienter kann der Parkbewirtschaftungsraum genutzt und betrieben werden, was eine vorteilhafte Reduzierung der Kosten zur Folge hat. Eine genaue Zählung ist außerdem vorteilhaft für ein Parkleitsystem, bei dem die Fahrzeuge zu freien Arealen innerhalb des Parkbewirtschaftungssystems oder zwischen mehreren Parkbewirtschaftungssystemen geführt bzw. geleitet werden. Damit unnötiger Fehlverkehr durch falsche Anzahlen vermieden wird, sollte auch hier eine möglichst detaillierte Kenntnis der tatsächlich in einem bestimmten Bereich abgestellten Fahrzeuge vorhanden sein. Durch den Einsatz von Magnetfeld-Verkehrs-Sensoren ist eine Genauigkeit der Zählung von 100 % zu erreichen. Für einen Einsatz in Parkbewirtschaftungsräumen und in Parkleitsystemen eignen sich diese Zählsysteme also im besonderen Maße. Neben der Platzersparnis und der effizienten Unterbringung der beteiligten Fahrzeuge führt eine Verwendung von Magnetfeld-Verkehrs-Sensoren zu einer Zeitersparnis bei den Fahrern der beteiligten Fahrzeuge und gleichzeitig sorgt die genaue Wegweisung zu einer Reduktion des gesamten Parksuchverkehres, was zur Einsparung von Rohstoffen und somit auch dem Umweltschutz dient. Durch die Möglichkeit mittels Magnetfeldsensoren einen "genetischen Fingerabdruck" eines Fahrzeuges zu ermitteln, d.h., die Fahrzeuggröße bzw. den Fahrzeugtyp im Sinne einer Kategorie von Typen ähnlicher Bauart mit ähnlichen Eigenschaften zu bestimmen, ist es möglich, bestimmten Fahrzeugen einen für sie geeigneten Stellplatz zur Verfügung zu stellen. Kleine Fahrzeuge können somit auf Parkareale verwiesen werden, in denen die zur Verfügung stehenden Stellplätze relativ klein sind, große Fahrzeuge werden auf Parkareale verwiesen mit für ihre Größe ausreichenden Stellplätzen. Insgesamt sorgt eine derartige Verwendung des Systems durch die Sortierung nach Fahrzeugtypen zu einer besseren Nutzung der zur Verfügung stehenden Parkfläche, da sie in unterschiedliche Stellplatzgrößen aufgeteilt werden kann. Die Magnetfeld-Verkehrs-Sensoren können außerdem zur Routenverfolgung innerhalb des bewirtschafteten Parkraumes genutzt werden, so dass ein einmal eingefahrenes Fahrzeug auf seinem Weg zum Stellplatzareal verfolgt und der vom Fahrzeug schließlich und endlich belegte Stellplatz dem ursprünglich eingefahrenen Fahrzeug zugewiesen werden kann. Dadurch ist die Kenntnis über den genauen Verbleib des ursprünglich eingefahrenen Fahrzeugs in den Parkbewirtschaftungsraum jederzeit gewährleistet. Das Wiederfinden eines Fahrzeuges auf seinem Stellplatz wird somit vereinfacht. Die Nutzung der Magnetfeldsensoren bei der Registrierung der ausfahrenden Fahrzeuge aus dem Parkbewirtschaftungsraum ermöglicht auch hier eine genaue Zählung, so dass insgesamt jederzeit die Anzahl der sich tatsächlich innerhalb des Parkbewirtschaftungsraumes befindenden Fahrzeuge genauestens bekannt ist.The invention is based on the finding that in a parking management system the most efficient and accurate counting and signposting of the vehicles involved should take place. In parking guidance systems using induction sensors, errors in the range of 20% to 30% occur in the determination of the number of vehicles involved, ie an insufficient accuracy of 70% to 80% is achieved. For the costs that occur in the management of parking space, especially in the urban area, it is therefore advantageous to achieve the most accurate counting of vehicles. The more accurate the count, the more efficient the system and the more efficient the park management space can be utilized and operated, resulting in a beneficial reduction in cost. An exact count is It is also advantageous for a parking guidance system in which the vehicles are guided or routed to free areas within the parking management system or between several parking management systems. In order to avoid unnecessary erroneous traffic due to incorrect numbers, a detailed knowledge of the vehicles actually parked in a certain area should also be available here. Through the use of magnetic field traffic sensors, an accuracy of 100% count can be achieved. For use in parking control rooms and parking guidance systems, these counting systems are therefore particularly suitable. In addition to saving space and the efficient housing of the vehicles involved, using magnetic field traffic sensors saves time for the drivers of the participating vehicles, and at the same time ensures precise routing reduces the total amount of park search traffic, thereby saving resources and thus the economy Environmental protection serves. Due to the possibility of using magnetic field sensors to determine a "genetic fingerprint" of a vehicle, ie, to determine the vehicle size or type of vehicle in terms of a category of types of similar design with similar characteristics, it is possible certain vehicles available for their own parking space to deliver. Small vehicles can thus be referred to parking areas in which the available parking spaces are relatively small, large vehicles are referred to parking areas with adequate parking spaces for their size. Overall, such a use of the system by sorting by vehicle types to better use of the available parking area, since they can be divided into different pitch sizes. The magnetic field traffic sensors can also be used for route tracking within the managed parking space, so that a once retracted vehicle tracked on its way to the parking lot area and finally occupied by the vehicle finally the pitch can be assigned to the original retracted vehicle. This is the knowledge of the exact Whereabouts of the originally retracted vehicle in the park management room ensured at all times. The recovery of a vehicle on its parking space is thus simplified. The use of the magnetic field sensors in the registration of the outgoing vehicles from the parking management room also allows an accurate count, so that a total of at any time the number of actually located within the park management space vehicles is known accurately.

Das erfindungsgemäße System bietet insgesamt durch den Einsatz von Magnetfeld-Verkehrs-Sensoren den Vorteil, dass sowohl Zählung als auch Registrierung der Fahrzeuge sowie Routenverfolgung und Stellplatzbelegung durch einen einzigen Typ von Sensor ermittelt werden kann, und dass die Ermittlung des Fahrzeugtyps auf sehr einfache und kostengünstige Weise geschieht. Es müssen keine weiteren Mittel, seien es Kameras oder andere aufwendige Sensoren zur Ermittlung des Fahrzeugtyps installiert werden.Overall, the use of magnetic field traffic sensors offers the advantage that both counting and registration of the vehicles as well as route tracking and parking space occupancy can be determined by a single type of sensor, and that the determination of the vehicle type is very simple and cost-effective Way happens. No further means, be it cameras or other complex sensors for determining the vehicle type must be installed.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausbildung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das System eine weitere Registriervorrichtung zur Registrierung des individuellen Belegungsstatus der im bewirtschafteten Parkbereich vorhandenen Stellplätze aufweist. Durch die individuelle Registriervorrichtung ist dem Bewirtschafter des Parkraumes nicht nur generell bekannt, in welchem Areal sich welche Anzahl von Fahrzeugen befinden, sondern der Bewirtschafter ist vielmehr darüber informiert, wo genau die einzelnen Fahrzeuge stehen. Dies ermöglicht dem Betreiber eine sehr detaillierte Wegweisung der Fahrer innerhalb des Parkleitsystems zur Führung zur Verfügung zu stellen. Unnötiger Suchverkehr wird durch diese Ausprägung weiterhin reduziert. Dadurch wird sowohl Zeit als auch Ressourcen eingespart und eine unnütze Belastung der Umwelt wird vermieden.An advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the system has a further registration device for registering the individual occupancy status of the parking spaces available in the managed parking area. Due to the individual registration device, the manager of the parking space is not only generally aware in which area there are which number of vehicles, but the manager is rather informed about exactly where the individual vehicles are. This allows the operator to provide a very detailed routing of the drivers within the parking guidance system for guidance. Unnecessary search traffic is further reduced by this characteristic. This saves both time and resources and avoids unnecessary burden on the environment.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass Mittel zur Anzeige des Belegungsstatus eines Stellplatzes direkt am Stellplatz vorgesehen sind. Durch die Anzeige des Belegungsstatus kann einem vorbeifahrenden Fahrer innerhalb des Areals sofort signalisiert werden, ob noch freier Parkraum zur Verfügung steht. Dies ist vor allem von Vorteil, in Situationen, in denen kleinere Fahrzeuge hinter größeren Fahrzeugen verborgen sind und ein Fahrer bei der Annäherung nicht unmittelbar erkennen kann, ob ein von ihm avisierter Parkplatz noch frei ist oder nicht. Auch diese Ausprägung der Erfindung führt zu einer zügigeren Abwicklung des Parksuchverkehrs und damit zur Reduktion von Zeit, Kosten und Ressourcen.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that means for displaying the occupancy status of a parking space are provided directly on the parking space. By displaying the occupancy status, a passing driver within the area can be signaled immediately whether there is still free parking space available. This is especially advantageous in situations where smaller vehicles are hidden behind larger vehicles and a driver can not immediately recognize when approaching whether a parking space he has in mind is still free or not. This embodiment of the invention also leads to a speedier handling of the parking search traffic and thus to the reduction of time, costs and resources.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das System eine Eingabevorrichtung zur Eingabe von bestimmten Stellplätzen zugeordneten Belegungsstati aufweist. Dem Betreiber des Parkbewirtschaftungsbereiches wird hierdurch die Möglichkeit gegeben, bestimmte Areale zu reservieren. Diese Möglichkeit ist von Vorteil, bei der Reservierung für bestimmte Benutzergruppen oder für die Reservierung von Stellplätzen für Dauerparker innerhalb des Parkbewirtschaftungsraumes. Dadurch, dass der mittels der Eingabevorrichtung reservierte Stellplatz den Status belegt erhält, wird dies direkt am Stellplatz von der Anzeige auch dargestellt und eine Belegung des Stellplatzes durch nicht berechtigte Nutzer wird vermieden. Wenn der Betreiber wünscht, dass bestimmte Parkareale nacheinander erst freigegeben werden, kann er den Belegungstatus für diese Areale über seine Eingabevorrichtung nacheinander ändern.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the system has an input device for entering assigned Stations assigned to certain parking spaces. The operator of the park management area is thereby given the opportunity to reserve certain areas. This option is advantageous when reserving for certain user groups or for reserving parking spaces for long-term parkers within the park management area. Because the parking space reserved by means of the input device receives the status occupied, this is also displayed directly on the parking space by the display and an occupancy of the parking space by unauthorized users is avoided. If the operator desires that certain parking areas be released one after the other, he can change the occupancy status for these areas in turn via his input device.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das System eine Sende- und Empfangsvorrichtung zum Austausch von Daten mit den Magnetfeld-Verkehrs-Sensoren aufweist. Hierdurch ist gewährleistet, dass die von den Sensoren gemessenen Belegungsstati an eine Zentrale innerhalb des Systems gesendet werden können und dass die ggf. vom Betreiber über die Eingabevorrichtung im System zugewiesenen Stati auch an die Sensoren gesendet werden können. Eine Verlegung von Kabeln, die unter Umständen sehr aufwendig und teuer ist, kann somit unterbleiben. Die Verwendung der Magnetfeld-Verkehrs-Sensoren bzw. eine Substitution anderer Sensorsysteme ist dadurch auf einfache Weise gegeben.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the system has a transmitting and receiving device for exchanging data with the magnetic field traffic sensors. This ensures that the occupancy states measured by the sensors can be sent to a central station within the system and that the statuses possibly assigned by the operator via the input device in the system can also be sent to the sensors. A laying of cables, which may be very complicated and expensive, can therefore be omitted. The use of the magnetic field traffic sensors or a substitution of other sensor systems is thereby given in a simple manner.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das System einen Speicher zur Speicherung von einem Fahrzeug zugeordneten Daten sowie zur Speicherung von Belegungsstati aufweist. Vorteilhaft ist hierbei, dass die Daten zentral im System hinterlegt sind. Ein Abgleich der Daten kann erfolgen und ein kompletter Überblick über die genaue Situation innerhalb des Systems ist jederzeit möglich.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the system has a memory for storing data associated with a vehicle and for storing occupancy statuses. The advantage here is that the data are stored centrally in the system. A comparison of the data can be done and a complete overview of the exact situation within the system is possible at any time.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass Mittel zu lokalen und autarken Stromversorgung der Magnetfeldsensoren vorgesehen sind. Dies ist beispielsweise durch die Installation einfacher Solarzellen wie von Taschenrechnern bekannt möglich. Auch hier kann also von einer aufwendigen Verkabelung abgesehen werden.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that means for local and self-sufficient power supply of the magnetic field sensors are provided. This is possible, for example, by installing simple solar cells as known from calculators. Here, too, can therefore be dispensed with a complex wiring.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das System eine Vorrichtung zur Hinterlegung des lesbaren und/oder maschinenlesbaren Codes auf einem Beleg aufweist. Hierdurch ist es möglich, die Daten zu Fahrzeugtyp, Einfahrtszeit sowie Parkareal auf dem Beleg bzw. der Parkkarte, die ein Kunde bei Einfahrt erhält anzugeben. Der Kunde bekommt eine direkte, für ihn unmittelbar verständliche Information in Textform und durch den maschinenlesbaren Code können dem Beleg alle im System gespeicherten zugehörigen Daten zugeordnet werden.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the system has a device for storing the readable and / or machine-readable code on a document. This makes it possible to specify the data on vehicle type, entry time and parking area on the receipt or the parking card that receives a customer when entering. The customer gets a direct, for him directly understandable information in text form and the machine-readable code can be assigned to the document all stored in the system associated data.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das System eine Lesevorrichtung zum Lesen des maschinenlesbaren Codes auf dem Beleg aufweist.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the system has a reading device for reading the machine-readable code on the document.

Bei Abgabe des Belegs zur Bezahlung kann somit sowohl der Fahrzeugtyp als auch die ursprüngliche Registrierung, d.h. der Zeitpunkt, zu dem das Fahrzeug in das Parkbewirtschaftungssystem eingefahren ist, ausgelesen werden und dem Benutzer des Fahrzeugs angegeben werden. Außerdem kann dem Fahrer das ihm zugewiesene Parkareal mitgeteilt werden, da es durch die Lesevorrichtung aus dem maschinenlesbaren Code ausgelesen werden kann. Durch diese Informationen ist es dem Halter des Fahrzeuges einfach möglich, das Areal, in dem er das Fahrzeug ursprünglich geparkt hat, wiederzufinden. Nach längerer Nichtbenutzung des Fahrzeuges, wie beispielsweise während eines Urlaubes, muss der Fahrer also nicht lange nach seinem Fahrzeug suchen.Thus, upon submission of the receipt for payment, both the vehicle type and the original registration, i. the time at which the vehicle has entered the park management system is read out and reported to the user of the vehicle. In addition, the driver can be informed of the assigned parking area, since it can be read by the reading device from the machine-readable code. This information makes it easy for the owner of the vehicle to find the area in which he originally parked the vehicle. After a long period of non-use of the vehicle, such as during a vacation, the driver does not have to search for his vehicle.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das System Mittel zur Zuweisung einer Preiskategorie in Abhängigkeit vom Fahrzeugtyp aufweist. Eine von der wirklich benötigten Stellplatzgröße oder Stellplatzgüte, beispielsweise mit oder ohne Überdachung, abhängige Preisgestaltung wird dadurch ermöglicht. Eine gerechte Abrechnung der genutzten Ressourcen kann erfolgen. Dies ist vor allem für Fahrer von modernen, speziell für den Stadtverkehr konzipierten Kleinst-Fahrzeugen von Vorteil.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the system comprises means for assigning a price category depending on the vehicle type. One of the really required parking space size or parking space quality, for example, with or without roofing, dependent pricing is made possible. An equitable billing of the resources used can be made. This is especially for drivers of modern, specially designed for city traffic micro-vehicles advantage.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass Mittel zur Angabe der Position des Stellplatzes auf dem Beleg bei Abgabe des Belegs zur Bezahlung der Benutzung des Stellplatzes in Abhängigkeit vom bei der Einfahrt hinterlegten Code, des Fahrzeugtyps und des zugewiesenen Parkareals vorgesehen sind. Diese Information erleichtert dem Fahrer des abgestellten Fahrzeuges das Wiederfinden, da er nur in einem bestimmten, ihm durch die Information mitgeteilten, Parkareal zu suchen braucht.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that means are provided for indicating the position of the parking space on the receipt upon delivery of the receipt for paying for the use of the parking space depending on the deposited at the entry code, the vehicle type and the assigned parking area. This information makes it easier for the driver of the parked vehicle to find it again, since he only needs to look for a specific parking area communicated to him by the information.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass Mittel zur Angabe der genauen Position des Stellplatzes bei Abgabe des Belegs zur Bezahlung der Benutzung des Stellplatzes in Abhängigkeit vom bei der einfahrt hinterlegten Code und der vom zugehörigen Fahrzeug von der Einfahrt zum Stellplatz zurückgelegten Route innerhalb des bewirtschafteten Bereichs vorgesehen sind. Diese Information kann auf vorteilhafte Weise dem Fahrer eines Fahrzeugs zur Verfügung gestellt werden, so dass er sein abgestelltes Auto unmittelbar wiederfinden kann, da der genaue Stellplatz angegeben wird.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that means for indicating the exact position of the parking space upon delivery of the receipt for payment the use of the parking space depending on the code deposited at the entrance and provided by the associated vehicle from the entrance to the parking space route within the managed area are provided. This information can be made available to the driver of a vehicle in an advantageous manner, so that he can immediately find his parked car, since the exact parking space is specified.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass Mittel zur Überprüfung der Übereinstimmung des einem Beleg zugeordneten Fahrzeugs bei Abgabe des Belegs zur Ausfahrt aus dem bewirtschafteten Parkbereich und dem tatsächlich den Parkbereich verlassenden Fahrzeugs vorgesehen sind. Die Möglichkeit der Überprüfung der Übereinstimmung bietet den Vorteil, dass ermittelt werden kann, ob ein Fahrzeug, welches den Parkbereich verlässt auch mit den Daten übereinstimmt, die auf dem gleichzeitig abgegebenen Beleg hinterlegt sind. Eine derartige Prüfung erschwert es, den Parkbereich mit einem widerrechtlich angeeignetem, wertvollerem Fahrzeug als das ursprüngliche zu verlassen.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that means are provided for checking the correspondence of the vehicle assigned to a document when the document is issued for exit from the managed parking area and the vehicle actually leaving the parking area. The possibility of checking the match offers the advantage that it can be determined whether a vehicle that leaves the parking area also coincides with the data stored on the document issued at the same time. Such a check makes it difficult to leave the parking area with a usurpably appropriated, more valuable vehicle than the original one.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass Mittel zur Freigabe oder Verweigerung der Ausfahrt eines Fahrzeugs aus dem bewirtschafteten Parkbereich in Abhängigkeit von dem Ergebnis der Übereinstimmungsüberprüfung vorgesehen sind. Hierdurch ist die Möglichkeit gegeben, dass bei Nichtübereinstimmung von Beleg und dem dazugehörigen ausfahrenden Fahrzeug eine Verweigerung vorgesehen werden kann. Eine einfache Möglichkeit der Diebstahlsicherung ist somit gegeben. Ausfahrende Fahrzeuge können auf diese Weise nur von Fahrern aus dem Parkraumbewirtschaftungssystem herausgefahren werden, wenn diese Fahrer auch ein zu genau diesem Fahrzeug dazugehörigen Beleg zur Ausfahrt abgeben.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is characterized in that means are provided for the release or refusal of the exit of a vehicle from the managed parking area depending on the result of the conformity check. This provides the possibility that a refusal may be provided in case of mismatch of document and the corresponding outgoing vehicle. A simple way of theft protection is thus given. Extending vehicles can be driven out in this way only by drivers from the parking management system, if these drivers also give a to this exact vehicle associated receipt for the exit.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand der in den Figuren dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele näher beschrieben und erläutert.In the following the invention with reference to the embodiments illustrated in the figures will be described and explained in more detail.

FIG 1 zeigt eine schematische Darstellung eines Ausführungsbeispiels eines System 1 zur Parkraumbewirtschaftung und/oder Fahrzeugregistrierung mit Fahrzeugerfassung im Innen- 17 und Außenbereich 18. Das in FIG 1 dargestellte System 1 besteht im Wesentlichen aus einer Registriervorrichtung 3, die ein in den bewirtschaften Parkreich einfahrendes Fahrzeug 16 registriert. Des weiteren besteht das System 1 aus einer Klassifizierungsvorrichtung 4, welche den Fahrzeugtyp 5 des eingefahrenen Fahrzeugs 6 klassifiziert. Eine Zuordnungsvorrichtung 6 weist dem klassifizierten Fahrzeugtyp 5 daraufhin geeignete Stellplätze 81...n innerhalb eines Parkareals 7 des Parkraumbewirtschaftungssystems zu. Des weiteren besteht das System 1 aus einer Leitvorrichtung 9, die dem Fahrer des eingefahrenen Fahrzeugs 16 einen Weg zu dem zugewiesenen Parkareals 7 zuweisen soll. Mittel zur Routenverfolgung des registrierten Fahrzeugs 16 innerhalb des bewirtschafteten Parkbereichs zu dem zugewiesenen Parkareal 7 stehen zur Verfügung. Das System 1 besteht aus einer weiteren Registriervorrichtung 19, die zur Registrierung des abschließend bewirtschafteten Parkbereichs verlassenen Fahrzeug vorgesehen ist.1 shows a schematic representation of an exemplary embodiment of a system 1 for parking space management and / or vehicle registration with vehicle detection in the interior 17 and exterior 18. The system 1 shown in FIG 1 essentially consists of a registration device 3, which is a einfahrendes in the Parkreich rich vehicle 16 registered. Furthermore, the system 1 consists of a classification device 4, which classifies the vehicle type 5 of the retracted vehicle 6. An allocation device 6 then assigns the classified vehicle type 5 suitable parking spaces 8 1... N within a parking area 7 of the parking space management system. Furthermore, the system 1 consists of a guide device 9, which is to assign the driver of the retracted vehicle 16 a path to the assigned parking area 7. Means for the route tracking of the registered vehicle 16 within the managed parking area to the assigned parking area 7 are available. The system 1 consists of a further registration device 19, which is provided for the registration of the finally managed parking area abandoned vehicle.

FIG 1 zeigt weiterhin eine Registriervorrichtung 10, die für die Registrierung des jeweiligen individuellen Belegungsstatus 11 der Stellplätze vorgesehen ist, die in dem bewirtschafteten Parkbereich vorhanden sind. Auf einem Beleg 12a kann in Form eines maschinenlesbaren Codes 13 die Registrierung und Klassifizierung des Fahrzeugs 16 sowie das dem Fahrzeug zugewiesene Parkareal 7 in Abhängigkeit vom Fahrzeugtyp 5 hinterlegt werden. Ein nach erfolgtem Parken zur Bezahlung abgegebener Beleg 12b kann mit Hilfe von Mitteln zur Überprüfung der Übereinstimmung 14 auf seine Zugehörigkeit zu dem aktuell den Parkbereich verlassenen Fahrzeug 16 hin überprüft werden. Bei Nicht-Übereinstimmung der Prüfung stehen Mittel zur Freigabe oder Verweigerung der Ausfahrt 15 zur Verfügung.1 also shows a registration device 10 which is provided for the registration of the respective individual occupancy status 11 of the parking spaces which are present in the managed parking area. On a document 12a In the form of a machine-readable code 13, the registration and classification of the vehicle 16 as well as the parking area 7 assigned to the vehicle can be stored as a function of the vehicle type 5. A voucher 12b submitted for payment after payment can be checked for its affiliation with the vehicle 16 currently leaving the parking area by means of means 14 for checking the match 14. If the exam is not compliant, funds will be available to release or refuse exit 15.

Die Besonderheit des in FIG 1 dargestellten Systems 1 besteht im Wesentlichen darin, dass unterschiedliche Fahrzeugtypen in Abhängigkeit von ihrer Größe oder anderen spezifischen Eigenschaften, die eine spezielle Behandlung bedürfen, auf unterschiedlichen für den Fahrzeugtyp geeigneten Stellplätzen abgestellt werden können. Hierbei werden die für den Fahrzeugtyp 5 geeigneten Parkareale 7 von dem System 1 direkt zugewiesen. Ein Fahrer eines Fahrzeuges muss somit nicht innerhalb des bewirtschafteten Parkraums eigenständig nach für sein Fahrzeug 16 geeigneten Stellplätzen 7 suchen. Das Leitsystem 9 weist ihm vielmehr in Abhängigkeit von dem zugewiesenen Parkareal 7 einen geeigneten Weg durch den bewirtschafteten Parkbereich. Hierdurch werden Zeit und Kosten gespart. Eine Zeitersparnis ergibt sich vor allem für den Fahrer, der auf direktem Wege zu einem geeigneten Stellplatz geführt wird. Eine Kostenersparnis ergibt sich vor allem für den Betreiber des Bewirtschaftungsraumes, da in Abhängigkeit von der benötigten Größe unterschiedliche Stellplätze zur Verfügung gestellt werden können. Eine Platzverschwendung durch eine einheitliche Mindestgröße der Stellplätze wird vermieden. Vorteilhaft ist bei der dargestellten Ausführung des Systems 1 außerdem, dass Parksuchverkehr innerhalb des bewirtschafteten Parkbereichs vermieden wird. Ein weiterer Vorteil für den Fahrer, d.h. also den Benutzer des Parkbewirtschaftungssystem, ergibt sich aus der Tatsache, dass das zugewiesene Parkareal 7 auf dem Beleg 12a, den der Fahrer bei Einfahrt in das Parkbewirtschaftungssystem erhält, hinterlegt ist. Eine weitere Speicherung der vom Fahrer innerhalb des Parkbewirtschaftungssystems zurückgelegten Route im Speicher 23 des Systems 1 ist vorteilhaft, weil hierdurch eine spätere eindeutige Zuordnung eines Stellplatzes zu dem Beleg 12a ermöglicht wird. Bei Abgabe des Belegs 12b zur Bezahlung kann somit dem Fahrer des Fahrzeuges direkt mitgeteilt werden, wo genau er/sie das Fahrzeug findet. Speziell bei Parkbewirtschaftungssystemen, in denen die Fahrer ihre Fahrzeuge 16 über einen längeren Zeitraum abstellen erweist sich diese Funktion als vorteilhaft, da die Fahrer sich nicht merken müssen, wo das Fahrzeug abgestellt wurde. Das System 1 gewährleistet somit ein schnelles Auffinden eines abgestellten Fahrzeugs 16 innerhalb eines Parkbewirtschaftungsraumes selbst nach längerer Parkdauer oder wenn die das Fahrzeug abholende Person ungleich der Person ist, die das Fahrzeug abgestellt hat. Durch die Mittel zur Überprüfung der Übereinstimmung 14 eines ursprünglich erhaltenen Beleges 12a bei Einfahrt mit einem Fahrzeug 16 in das System 1 mit einem Beleg 12b, der bei Ausfahrt des Fahrzeuges abgegeben wird, ergibt sich die Möglichkeit, zu überprüfen, ob das aktuell das Parksystem verlassende Fahrzeug mit dem auf dem ursprünglichen Beleg 12a registrierten Fahrzeug übereinstimmt. Hierdurch ergibt sich die einfache Möglichkeit einer Diebstahlüberprüfung. Bei Nichtübereinstimmung des Fahrzeugs mit dem Beleg stehen Mittel zur Verweigerung der Ausfahrt 15 des Fahrzeugs 16 aus dem bewirtschafteten Parkbereich zur Verfügung. Bei der Überprüfung des Beleges 12a mit dem Beleg 12b auf Übereinstimmung werden neben mittels des Codes 13 registriertem Fahrzeugtyp und registriertem Zeitpunkt der Einfahrt auch die vom Fahrzeug 16 innerhalb des Systems 1 zurückgelegte Route sowie das Freiwerden eines entsprechenden Stellplatzes 81...n innerhalb des ursprünglich zugewiesenen Parkareals 7 überprüft. Somit müssen Fahrzeugtyp 5, Parkdauer zurückgelegte Route sowie Belegungsstatus des entsprechenden Stellplatzes übereinstimmen, damit eine Freigabe der Ausfahrt 15 für das Fahrzeug erfolgt. Die häufig verwendete Methode mittels eines billigen Fahrzeugs einen Beleg zu ziehen und dann ein höherwertiges Fahrzeug aufzubrechen, um mit dem höherwertigen Fahrzeug den Bewirtschaftungsraum zu verlassen wird auf diese Weise einfach und sicher unterbunden.The peculiarity of the system 1 shown in FIG. 1 consists essentially in the fact that different vehicle types, depending on their size or other specific properties requiring special treatment, can be parked on different parking spaces suitable for the vehicle type. Here, suitable for the vehicle type 5 parking areas 7 are assigned directly from the system 1. A driver of a vehicle therefore does not have to search independently for the vehicle 16 suitable parking spaces 7 within the managed parking space. Instead, the guidance system 9 assigns it a suitable path through the managed parking area as a function of the assigned parking area 7. This saves time and money. A time saving results especially for the driver, who is led directly to a suitable parking space. A cost saving results especially for the operator of the management room, since depending on the required size different parking spaces can be provided. A waste of space by a uniform minimum size of the parking spaces is avoided. It is also advantageous in the illustrated embodiment of the system 1 that parking search traffic within the managed parking area is avoided. Another advantage for the driver, ie the user of the parking management system, results from the fact that the allocated parking area 7 is deposited on the document 12a which the driver receives when entering the parking management system is. Further storage of the route traveled by the driver within the parking management system in the memory 23 of the system 1 is advantageous, because this enables a later unique assignment of a parking space to the document 12a. Upon delivery of the receipt 12b for payment, the driver of the vehicle can thus be informed directly where exactly he / she finds the vehicle. Especially in parking management systems in which the drivers park their vehicles 16 over a longer period of time, this feature proves to be advantageous because the driver does not have to remember where the vehicle was parked. The system 1 thus ensures a quick location of a parked vehicle 16 within a park management room even after a prolonged parking period or when the vehicle picking up the person is unequal to the person who has parked the vehicle. By the means for checking the coincidence 14 of a document 12a originally obtained on entering with a vehicle 16 in the system 1 with a document 12b, which is delivered at the exit of the vehicle, there is the possibility to check whether the currently leaving the parking system Vehicle matches the registered on the original document 12a vehicle. This results in the simple possibility of theft verification. If the vehicle does not agree with the document, means are available for denying the exit 15 of the vehicle 16 from the managed parking area. When checking the document 12a with the document 12b for compliance, in addition to registered by the code 13 type of vehicle and registered time of entry, the route traveled by the vehicle 16 within the system 1 and the liberation of a corresponding parking space 8 1 ... n within the originally assigned parking areas 7 checked. Thus, the type of vehicle 5, the parking duration traveled route and the occupancy status of the corresponding parking space must match in order for the exit 15 to be released for the vehicle. The commonly used method by means of a cheap vehicle to draw a document and then a Breaking higher-value vehicle to leave the management room with the higher-value vehicle is thus easily and safely prevented.

FIG 2 zeigt eine schematische Darstellung eines Ausführungsbeispiels des Systems mit Mitteln 20 zur Anzeige des Belegungsstatus 11 an den jeweiligen Stellplätzen 81...n. Der jeweilig aktuelle Belegstatus eines Stellplatzes 11 kann mit Hilfe der Magnetfeldsensoren 2 ermittelt werden und über die Anzeige 20 direkt angezeigt werden. Ihren Belegstatus können die Magnetfeldsensoren 2 mit Hilfe von drahtloser Kommunikation an das System 1 übermitteln. Das System 1 hat hierzu eine Sende- und Empfangsvorrichtung 22. Über eine Eingabevorrichtung 21 können bestimmten Stellplätzen zugeordnete Belegungsstati direkt eingegeben werden. Der jeweilige Status kann ebenfalls mittels drahtloser Kommunikation an die Sensoren 2 an den Stellplätzen übermittelt werden. Der Status kann anschließend direkt über die Mittel zur Anzeige 20 dargestellt werden. Das System 1 hat weiterhin einen Speicher 23 zur Speicherung von Belegungsstati und den zurückgelegten Routen der Fahrzeuge im Bewirtschaftungssystem sowie zur Speicherung aller zu einem Fahrzeug 16 dazugehörigen Daten, wie beispielsweise Fahrzeugtyp 5, zugewiesenes Areal 7 und Zeit der Einfahrt in das System 1.2 shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of the system with means 20 for displaying the occupancy status 11 at the respective parking spaces 8 1 ... n . The respective current document status of a parking space 11 can be determined with the aid of the magnetic field sensors 2 and displayed directly on the display 20. Their document status can be transmitted to the system 1 by the magnetic field sensors 2 by means of wireless communication. For this purpose, the system 1 has a transmitting and receiving device 22. Occupancy statuses assigned to specific parking spaces can be entered directly via an input device 21. The respective status can also be transmitted by means of wireless communication to the sensors 2 at the parking spaces. The status can then be displayed directly via the means for display 20. The system 1 furthermore has a memory 23 for storing occupancy statuses and the traveled routes of the vehicles in the management system and for storing all data associated with a vehicle 16, such as vehicle type 5, allocated time 7 and time of entry into the system 1.

Die Besonderheit der in FIG 2 dargestellten Ausprägung des Systems 1 besteht darin, dass die Magnetfeldsensoren 2 nicht über ein Netzwerk mit dem System 1 kommunizieren müssen. Aktuelle Daten, beispielsweise zum Status belegt oder nicht belegt, können direkt an das System übertragen werden. Vorteilhaft ist bei dieser Form der Datenübertragung vor allem, dass das Verlegen von Kabeln für die Datenübertragung sich erübrigt. Die spezielle Verwendung dieser Datenübertragung führt also zu Kosteneinsparungen. Dadurch, dass am Stellplatz durch eine Anzeige 20 direkt angezeigt wird, ob der Stellplatz frei oder eventuell durch einen Dauermieter belegt ist, kann eine Falschbelegung weitgehend vermieden werden. Die elektronische Anzeige 20 kann über die Eingabevorrichtung 21 direkt angesprochen werden. Somit ist es möglich, den Belegtstatus an Stellplätzen sehr kurzfristig zu ändern. Dies ist vor allem von Vorteil, wenn in einem Parkbewirtschaftungssystem die Benutzergruppen, die die Stellplätze über einen gewissen Zeitraum nutzen, häufig wechseln. Ein aufwendiges Zuweisen von beispielsweise Nummernschildern zu den entsprechenden Stellplätzen entfällt durch diese Vorgehensweise. Die zentrale Speicherung von Daten auf einem Speicher 23 ist von besonderem Vorteil, da sowohl die zum Fahrzeug 16 gehörenden individuellen Daten also auch die zurückgelegte Route im Parkbewirtschaftungsraum und der aktuelle Belegungsstatus innerhalb des gesamten Parkbewirtschaftungssystems zentral gespeichert werden können. Diese zentrale Speicherung bietet die Möglichkeit, dass das System zur Überprüfung der Übereinstimmung 14 des Belegs 12a mit dem das Bewirtschaftungssystem verlassenden Fahrzeugs auf einheitliche Daten zurückgreifen kann.The peculiarity of the embodiment of the system 1 shown in FIG. 2 is that the magnetic field sensors 2 do not have to communicate with the system 1 via a network. Current data, for example about the status occupied or not occupied, can be transferred directly to the system. An advantage of this form of data transmission, especially that the laying of cables for data transmission is unnecessary. The special use of this data transmission thus leads to cost savings. The fact that the pitch is directly displayed by a display 20, whether the space is free or possibly occupied by a permanent tenant, a false occupancy can be largely avoided. The electronic Display 20 can be addressed directly via the input device 21. This makes it possible to change the occupied status of parking spaces very quickly. This is particularly advantageous if in a parking management system, the user groups that use the parking spaces over a certain period, change frequently. A complex allocation of, for example, number plates to the corresponding parking spaces eliminated by this approach. The central storage of data on a memory 23 is particularly advantageous since both the individual data belonging to the vehicle 16 and also the distance covered in the parking management room and the current occupancy status can be stored centrally within the entire parking management system. This central storage offers the possibility that the system for checking the coincidence 14 of the document 12a with the vehicle leaving the management system can resort to uniform data.

Zusammenfassend betrifft die Erfindung ein System 1 zur Bewirtschaftung von Parkraum und zur Wegweisung der beteiligten Fahrer zu freien und geeigneten Stellplätzen 81..n. Hierbei kommen Magentfeld-Verkehrs-Sensoren 2 zum Einsatz, die zur Registrierung und Typisierung der beteiligten Fahrzeuge, zur Ermittlung der Stellplatzbelegung und zur Routenverfolgung innerhalb des bewirtschafteten Systems genutzt werden. Der Einsatz der Sensoren ist dabei sowohl im Innen- wie auch im Außenbereich vorgesehen. Mithilfe des Systems 1 wird eine dem Fahrzeugtyp 5 angepasst Stellplatzvergabe und damit eine bessere Ausnutzung des vorhandenen Parkraumes erreicht. Das System 1 ermöglicht weiterhin eine Information des Fahrers bei Abholung des Wagens über den Ort des Stellplatzes, was nach längerer Abwesenheit durchaus von Vorteil ist, sowie eine bessere Kontrolle der ausfahrenden Fahrzeuge zur Diebstahlsicherung.In summary, the invention relates to a system 1 for the management of parking space and the signposting of the drivers involved in free and suitable parking spaces 8 1..n . Magent field traffic sensors 2 are used here, which are used for registering and typing the vehicles involved, for determining the parking space occupancy and for tracking the routes within the managed system. The use of the sensors is provided both indoors and outdoors. With the help of the system 1, a parking space allocation adapted to the vehicle type 5 and thus a better utilization of the available parking space is achieved. The system 1 further allows information of the driver when picking up the car on the location of the parking space, which is quite advantageous after a long absence, and better control of the outgoing vehicles for theft protection.
