Definitions

  • the invention relates to a system for registration and payment of parking time.
  • Such a system is known from practice.
  • such a system comprises individual parking meters positioned at parking spaces.
  • Practice has shown this known system to have major drawbacks. For example, in order to induce the public to actually use the parking meters, it is necessary to carry out a labour-intensive check. On the other hand, the money inserted into the parking meters has to be collected periodically, which is also labour-intensive but in addition entails the risk of theft.
  • NL-A-1025264 an apparatus for the automatic computation of payable parking monies based on predetermined tariffs, which device may be installed in a person's car.
  • locating means may be activated for locating a parking site to be used.
  • arithmetic means obtain tariff information relating to the parking space, wherein the locating means serve to determine the parking site to be used.
  • the arithmetic means are further designed to multiply the tariff of the parking site with the parking time, in order to determine or to compute the payable parking fees.
  • the apparatus known from NL-A-1025264 relates to not much more than a simple computer system for monitoring the payable parking fees. How payment of the payable parking tariffs is finally to be secured, remains unclear.
  • the international patent application WO 02/063570 relates to a parking management system comprising a sensor for the detection of the presence of a vehicle in a parking space, as well as a parking meter that is associated with the parking space.
  • the parking meter is designed to receive payment and comprises a clock unit that monitors a permitted parking time on the basis of a received payment.
  • a host computer coupled via a communication channel with the presence sensor and the parking meter. This communication is wireless.
  • the host computer is designed to monitor the sensor and the parking meter and to establish whether a parking space is occupied without payment. In that case, the host computer emits a warning signal to a car park attendant and possibly to the user of the vehicle parked without authorization.
  • the international patent application WO 99/30290 relates to an automatic management system for a pay car park and comprises, coupled with each parking space, at least one organ for detecting the presence of a vehicle, identification means for the vehicle and a pay facility for paying for the parking time of the vehicle. Via an input unit provided on site, the user is further obliged to provide data relating to the parking space taken, the time of arrival and the estimated time of departure and, on the basis of these, to effect payment.
  • a system according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from the American patent application US 2002/109610 .
  • the object of the invention is to provide a system for the registration and payment of parking time with which various problems and drawbacks of the prior art systems are avoided or remedied, and in general, to provide an alternative for these known systems.
  • a further object is the possibility of preventing the theft of parking monies.
  • Still a further object is to relate the payable parking fees precisely to the parking time used, so as to avoid the prior art problem of payment being possible only for large units of time, such as a quarter of an hour, half an hour or an hour.
  • Still a further object of the invention is to simplify, and as much as possible automate the rightful occupation of parking spaces.
  • the system for the registration and payment of parking time is provided with an organ for the detection of the presence of the vehicle, which organ comprises a sensor and a transmitter, and identification means comprising a signal emitter installed in the vehicle for identifying that vehicle, wherein the transmitter and the signal emitter are designed to cooperate.
  • the pay facility of this system comprises a central computer that is coupled with the sensor and, via a communication channel, can be coupled with the signal emitter, wherein the central computer holds data concerning:
  • the central computer is further designed to adjust the balance linked to the signal emitter in accordance with a period of time during which the signal emitter was activated by the transmitter of the parking space, and based on the parking tariff applicable to that parking space.
  • the number of organs for the detection of presence may vary per parking space. Per parking space several organs may be used for the detection of presence, but it is also possible to use one organ for the detection of presence covering several parking spaces.
  • the financial streams connected with the use of parking spaces are completely separate from the location where parking takes place, allowing the financial proceedings to take place completely electronically.
  • the user who has installed such a signal emitter in his car has obtained this from an issuing authority based on a specific tariff to be paid.
  • This tariff may, for example, be related to the use anticipated for a particular period in the future (advance payment), or may be based on a payment afterwards on the basis of actual use, that is to say the charge may be based both on advance payment as well as payment afterwards, and may optionally be coupled with a direct debit.
  • the signal emitter is coupled with a license requiring periodic but fixed-term payment, for example, a fixed amount monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annually.
  • the signal emitter of the vehicle is designed as first router for receiving and forwarding information from another signal emitter located in another vehicle in a nearby parking space and/or information from a transmitter of such a neighbouring parking space.
  • first router for receiving and forwarding information from another signal emitter located in another vehicle in a nearby parking space and/or information from a transmitter of such a neighbouring parking space.
  • the signal emitter in the vehicle and identifying said vehicle may also be used for tollage, in traffic regulation systems, garages and the like.
  • a base station coupled with the central computer and designed for forming a communication path with at least one signal emitter is provided.
  • the robustness of the communication channel between the central computer and the activated signal emitter may be further improved by embodying the system such that the organ for detecting the presence of the vehicle is additionally equipped with a receiver and that this receiver, together with the transmitter of that organ, forms a second router for receiving and forwarding information from one or several neighbouring signal emitters and/or from a transmitter of a neighbouring parking space.
  • a very advantageous aspect of the invention relates to the embodiment of the system in which the organ for detecting the presence of a vehicle is equipped with a receiver and that a mobile control terminal is provided, which is designed to cooperate with the transmitter and receiver in order to obtain information on whether a parked vehicle possesses a signal emitter.
  • Another aspect of the system according to the invention is that the transmitter functions subject to a vehicle present signal from the sensor.
  • An important advantage of the system according to the invention is that the signal emitter is only operational when it receives an activating signal from the transmitter of the organ for detecting the presence of a vehicle. This automatically ensures that the payable parking fees are in strict concurrence with the parking time used.
  • Another important advantage of the system according to the invention is that the facilities to be provided to the traffic infrastructure are kept within limits; more than the installation at the parking spaces of organs for detecting the presence of vehicles is not necessary.
  • organs that comprise at least a sensor and a transmitter may be installed both above- or underground. The latter is possible because the transmitter to be used may be very low-powered so that it can work many years on a battery.
  • the system for registration and payment of parking time according to the invention affords a very favourable possibility for further extension into a system in which optimal road use is possible.
  • the system according to the invention is in a further aspect characterized by the measure that the central computer holds data relating to whether or not the parking space is occupied, and is coupled with an information system equipped for informing road users about traffic-related matters.
  • Such an information system may, for example, be the RDS-information system that provides the road user with traffic information via radio. Via this system it is possible to feed a navigation system, which navigation system is able to direct the road user to the available parking spaces near the road user's position or final destination. This effectively avoids futile searches for available parking spaces, prevent ing much wasting of time, annoyance and burden on the environment.
  • a car 1 is shown provided with a signal emitter 3 that identifies the vehicle 1.
  • the car 1 occupies a parking space 4.
  • an organ 5 is provided for detecting the presence of the vehicle 1, for which purpose this organ 5 comprises a sensor 5'.
  • this sensor 5' detects the vehicle, it activates a sender 5" also provided in the organ 5.
  • This sender of the organ 5 for detecting the presence of the vehicle 1 cooperates with the signal emitter 3 as symbolized by the transmission signal indicated with arrow A.
  • Fig. 2 shows a number of parking spaces 4, each provided with an organ 5 for registering the presence of a vehicle 1.
  • Fig. 2 shows that two parking spaces 4 are occupied by such vehicles 1 and that this has been detected by the sensor 5' of said organ 5.
  • Sensor 5' has subsequently activated the associated transmitter 5'', which is designed to cooperate with the signal emitter 3 installed in the vehicle 1. The payment of parking time is based as explained hereinafter on the signal from the signal emitter 3.
  • a communication path 6 is provided by which the signal emitters 3 that are built into the vehicles 1 communicate with a local base station 7, which is coupled by conventional wiring or wirelessly with a central computer 8.
  • This base station 7 may also serve for coupling the organs 5 for detecting the presence of vehicles, in particular their sensors 5', with this central computer 8.
  • the design of the above-mentioned central computer 8 is such that it holds data concerning the parking tariff applicable to the parking spaces 4. With respect to the signal emitters 3 issued, the central computer 8 monitors whether they relate to a subscription parking license and, if not, the computer 8 monitors the balance in monetary terms, associated with each signal emitter 3.
  • the central computer 8 is further equipped to adjust the above-mentioned balance associated with the signal emitter 3 pro rata a period of time during which the signal emitter 3 was activated by the transmitter 5" of the parking space 4 with an amount that depends on a parking tariff applicable to that parking space 4. Thanks to the above explanation, the manner in which this may be realized is perfectly clear to the person skilled in the art so that further elucidation is unnecessary.
  • the signal emitter 3 is preferably only operational when it receives an activating signal from the transmitter 5" of the organ 5 for detecting the presence of a vehicle 1.
  • the signal emitter 3 of the vehicle 1 is designed as first router for receiving and forwarding information from another signal emitter located in another vehicle in a neighboring parking space and/or information from a transmitter 5" of such a neighboring parking space 4.
  • the organ 5 for detecting the presence of the vehicle 1 may be additionally equipped with a receiver 5"' and for this receiver 5"' to form a second router together with the transmitter 5" of the organ 5, for receiving and forwarding information from one or several neighboring signal emitters 3 and/or from a transmitter of a neighboring parking space.
  • a receiver 5"' and for this receiver 5"' to form a second router together with the transmitter 5" of the organ 5, for receiving and forwarding information from one or several neighboring signal emitters 3 and/or from a transmitter of a neighboring parking space.
  • the central computer 8 holds data with respect to whether or not the parking spaces 4 are occupied.
  • this central computer 8 is coupled with an information system designed for advising road users with regard to traffic matters, so that these road users can be informed of those vacant parking spaces that are located near their current position or their final destination.
