Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for the control of accesses in restricted access parking spaces, finding a particular application in the management of loading and unloading areas, although it can also be applied to any other parking area with restricted or privileged access, such as for example curb cuts, spaces reserved for disabled people, bus or taxi stops, spaces reserved for administrative authorities, sanitary vehicles, vehicles of security forces, vehicles of different municipal services, company vehicles, etc., which require special treatment (authorization and/or authentication) to assure the suitable use of the parking spaces.
  • the invention is characterized by the capacity to detect the presence of vehicles in the space or spaces under control and the subsequent management of the identification of the user.
  • All types of signs and devices for managing traffic in an efficient and automated manner are increasingly observed in the street furniture of cities, from traffic lights and horizontal and vertical signs, indicator panels, blue and green parking areas, and public parking lots, to more complex vehicle flow control systems, for example those determining the times during which the traffic lights in a city are in control.
  • loading and unloading areas are usually the object of a number of violations when used by unauthorized private vehicles, or by the loading and unloading operators themselves who exceed the authorized times.
  • patent US7388517 describes a magnetic sensor of the presence of an automobile in a parking space, and a radio transmitter-receiver for emitting the detected signal.
  • the described device is designed to be used in systems for the management of parking spaces.
  • the system can also include a light-emitting device to indicate the occupied or free status of the space.
  • Spanish patent application number P200930612 which describes a system for the management of parking spaces according to the preamble of claim 1, can be mentioned as the closest state of the art.
  • a particular application of the present invention is providing a method for the management of loading and unloading areas inside cities by means of controlling the parking time (limited time) in a completely automated manner.
  • the present invention must allow speeding up traffic in cities and improving logistic distribution tasks.
  • the object of the present invention is an access control system in restricted access areas, comprising:
  • the senor When the sensor detects the presence of a vehicle, it transmits an occupied space signal to the control unit such that the latter is capable of taking subsequent actions.
  • control unit additionally comprises:
  • the identification means in an embodiment of the invention, consist of an identification card carried by the user of the vehicle which serves for the system to be capable of knowing the identity of said user.
  • the system makes use of a register in which at least the authorized vehicles are recorded so that the control unit can determine whether the identified vehicle is authorized to occupy said parking space or not. The determination is carried out by comparison between the identified vehicle and the vehicles registered in the register.
  • a second aspect of the invention consists of the method for the management of the area controlled by the system of the first aspect of the invention and which is included in independent claim 16 which is incorporated by reference in this description.
  • the checking of the identity of a user can lead to two results, either the user is authorized or he is not authorized. In the first case, it is possible to grant him a time of stay as an example of service, or it is also possible to allow charging an electric vehicle making use of recharging means incorporated in the system.
  • an alarm is emitted which can consist of a notification to the competent authority so that it can make a complaint.
  • This notification can be communicated by means of an SMS message or by means of Internet connection.
  • Embodiments of systems for the management of parking spaces (p) in which there is a restricted use will be described with the support of the figures.
  • This system is especially designed for parking areas (p) provided with restrictions or privileges: loading and unloading areas, curb cuts, spaces reserved for disabled people, bus or taxi stops, spaces reserved for administrative authorities, sanitary vehicles, vehicles of security forces, vehicles of different municipal services, company vehicles, etc., which require a special treatment (authorization and/or authentication) to assure the suitable use of the parking spaces (p).
  • the system of the embodiments of the invention comprises at least of sensor elements (1) and control units (3), which have a microprocessor (31) ( Figure 4 ) for the management of the information and of peripherals.
  • Each parking space (p) has a sensor (1).

  • the communication between the sensors (1) and the control unit (3) is preferably wireless and each sensor is supplied with power by means of an internal battery.
  • the sensor (1) when the sensor (1) is included in the piece street furniture (8) itself, for example a post, containing the control unit (3), the sensor (1) is preferably powered from the same energy management system (10) as the set of components incorporated in the piece of street furniture (8).
  • the energy management system (10) will be described in greater detail below.
  • the communication between the sensor (1) and the control unit (3) is preferably by means of wiring.
  • the sensors (1) detect the presence (occupied space) or absence (free space) of a vehicle (v) in a corresponding parking space (p) associated with the sensor (1).
  • the sensor (1) detects the presence of a vehicle (v) it communicates it to the control unit (3) by means of an "occupied space" signal.
  • the system of the embodiment comprises registering means for registering authorized vehicles.
  • the system compares said identification with the registered vehicles. The result of this comparison determines whether the vehicle (v) is authorized to park in the parking space (p) or not.
  • An embodiment of the invention has means for controlling the time during which the authorized vehicle (v) is parked in the parking space (p).
  • the system of the registering means can be a radio frequency identification, RFID, system comprising an RFID tag in an identifying card which the driver of the vehicle (v) has and an RFID tag reader (2) arranged in the piece of street furniture (8) where the control unit (3) is located.
  • the system authenticates the vehicle (v) parked in the parking space (p) the sensor (1) of which has sent an "occupied space” signal. If the system validates the identification code as authorized, it generates an "authorized vehicle” signal. The system generates an "unauthorized vehicle” signal in the opposite case of non-validation.
  • control units (3) are communicated through internet (6) (or another WAN) with a server (4) depicted in this embodiment in connection with a database (5) for the centralized remote management of the information coming from the control units (3) and from the sensors (1), among others, of the "authorized vehicle” and "unauthorized vehicle” signals.
