Definitions

  • the invention relates to the management of parking spaces comprising one or more individual parking lots, and in particular to the handling of vehicles and their admission to a parking space for a predictable and limited amount of time, i.e. during a sports event such as a hockey match, a cultural happening such as a concert, or a meeting such as a business conference.
  • Systems such as the one from signal-Park ( www.signalpark.com ) can help guide a driver to a specific vacant parking lot and gives the operator of the parking space the ability to direct and track in real time the movement of vehicles through parking garages.
  • a basic variant of the aforementioned system comprises the following four subsystems or "applications":
  • a car parking management system is preferentially included as another subsystem reporting to the same "premises resource planning" means. This allows an occupant of the premises to offer a smooth arrival to the external visitors or clients, and enables a transparent resource, i.e. car parking space, usage monitoring and corresponding cost allocation.
  • subsystems for scheduling the arrival of a vehicle for providing identification means to a driver or a passenger of the vehicle, and for controlling the access to a parking space by way of the identification means are connected via a communication link.
  • the identification means is determined or delivered to the driver or a passenger, and the access control subsystem is informed in accordance therewith.
  • the scheduling subsystem is a visitor announcement application such as an event management tool or a conferencing scheduling tool that enables a host to announce or register the visitor in a corresponding electronic tool such as a meeting organizer or calendar. This process includes the indication of planned arrival and departure times.
  • the electronic tool automatically reserves a parking lot for the visitor and forwards this information to the visitor's own calendaring software.
  • the visitor announcement application represents a further step towards a fully automated organisation of meetings or conference events triggered by the host.
  • a spectator wishing to assist to an event may himself proceed to a reservation or booking of seats or admission rights via a reservation application.
  • the latter may involve mail, telephone or on-line, web-based reservation or transaction facilities.
  • the identification subsystem provides an identification means to the driver or a passenger of the vehicle.
  • the identification subsystem creates itself an identification means, such as an alphanumeric code, a bar code, a ticket or a chip card, which is then forwarded to the visitor or spectator, preferably together with the locations and directions of the parking space.
  • the identification means is sent electronically, i.e. by email or SMS, the receiver may store it on an electronic identification device such as a handheld computer or mobile phone, or else proceed to printing the identification means in paper form.
  • this identification means serves as admission ticket to the event as well. Thus, the visitor or spectator will no longer have several tickets or badges to handle for one single meeting or spectacle.
  • the access control subsystem comprises means for identifying the vehicle or the participant, based preferably on infrared or near field radio (Bluetooth) communication with the electronic identification device, or based on contact free reading of admission tickets.
  • the access control tool includes a parking guidance system for directing the vehicle to an empty parking lot.
  • an accounting subsystem is connected to the communication link for the processing of all data relevant for invoicing in a post-parking phase.
  • the consumed services i.e. the occupation of a parking lot
  • corresponding information from the scheduling subsystem about reserved space or from the access control subsystem about actual occupation times is forwarded to the accounting subsystem to allocate costs to the right entity and hence contribute to an increased transparency of costs.
  • a main benefit of the invention resides in the fact that hosts or event organizers benefit from greater convenience and higher productivity, and in the fact that the efficiency of the parking space managing staff and the occupation of the parking space are also increased.
  • the registering of visitors and spectators demands less human involvement due to an integration of several services, leading to higher accuracy, reduced delays and loss of information between process steps, responsibilities and systems.
  • Fig. 1 depicts the structure of a system for handling the flow of vehicles according to the invention.
  • a communication link 1 represented by the thick horizontal line interconnects the following basic subsystems: a scheduling subsystem 2, an identification subsystem 3, an access control subsystem 4 and an accounting subsystem 5.
  • the subsystems mentioned 2,3,4,5 need not be localised in one place but may themselves comprise several distributed data processing units and/or user interface devices.
  • a person interested or enabled to participate in an event connects to the scheduling application 2 or a corresponding web-server or interface 21 via his or her computer 6 and the Internet 61.
  • the web-server 21 generates display control data such as HTML or XML code that is transmitted to and displayed on the said person's computer 6 which thus only requires a standard browser.
  • the person is sent, by phone, post, weblink or email, a message to confirm his or her participation and to select a means of transport.
  • the visitor is offered various check-in choices by the identification subsystem 3. The latter proceeds as described above and assures communication to the parking access system 4 with respect to space reservation and confirmation.
  • the scheduling subsystem 2 can be an office tool for invitation and announcement of visitors or clients, and may be a software tool included on the computer of every potential host of an office building.
  • Various tools of this kind are described in the aforementioned European Patent Application 03405358.7.
  • the access control subsystem 4 comprises a badge or card readers or other reading device 41 and a means of physically controlling the access to the parking space such as a door or a barrier 42.
  • the thin lines represent communication channels within this subsystem.
  • the access tool 4 is also responsible for the allocation of parking lots, the guidance of the identified vehicle to its allocated lot, the link of the parking meters to the exit allowance, operation of entry and exit barriers, video or CCTV surveillance and other security tasks.
  • the accounting subsystem 5 receives all relevant information related to the activity of or consumption of resources by the visitor from the other subsystems 2,3,4. As all the subsystems are connected via the communication link 1, the provision of the relevant data can be fully automated and assigned to the subsystems without the necessity for a person to enter data into an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.
  • ERP enterprise resource planning
  • the communications link 1 itself can be conceived as a multitude of dedicated communication channels and/or a wire-based or wireless local area network (LAN) based on a common (IP) protocol.
  • the data communication between the various subsystems is implemented using existing or dedicated application program interfaces (APIs) or existing standards for interfacing computer applications, such as e.g. MicrosoftTM .COM, .DCOM, the common object request broker architecture (CORBA), simple object access protocol (SOAP), JavaTM Remote Method Invocation (RMI) or SAP iDoc.
  • APIs application program interfaces
  • CORBA common object request broker architecture

  • RMI JavaTM Remote Method Invocation
  • SAP iDoc SAP iDoc
