Definitions

  • the invention relates to systems for assisting the management of payments of parking fees.
  • the combination of these detectors placed in the center of defined spaces allows to know the state of occupancy of the said place and to draw an automatic record of the available places or control the payment of parking fees, the latter may be done on a parking meter associated with these places or by mobile phone.
  • Such a device, disclosed in the document WO 2006/067813 also allows to control the respect of the duration of the right of parking.
  • the document WO 2007/025364 describes such a parking management system in an area where the parking spaces are delimited and individually identified by a number.
  • the operation of the system is based on the processing of sequences specific to each parking space.
  • a sequence includes a vehicle presence signal and a payment signal associated with the vehicle presence signal through the number of the place monitored by the detector having detected the presence of the vehicle.
  • the instant from which the processing unit can send a control signal to a control means of the monitored parking space is determined either by the expiration of a pre-recorded duration, beginning on receipt of the presence signal of vehicle, if no payment signal associated with the parking space number has been received before the expiry of this pre-registered period, or by the expiry of the period paid, if the payment signal associated with the number of the place parking was received before the expiry of the pre-registered period.
  • the previous document discloses a parking management system according to the preamble of claim 1 by using four types of signals, namely vehicle presence, absence of vehicle, payment of a tax and control.
  • an individual control that is to say place by place, is implemented by means of a fifth type of signal, namely the identification signals of the parking space used. It assumes that the parking spaces are identifiable individually, by means of a number for example.
  • a parking meter controls a parking area whose number of places is limited to a dozen or twenty places.
  • the driver parks first and then pay his fee on the parking meter. It performs these operations before another vehicle is parked again in the same area.
  • the temporal correlation between the arrival of a vehicle and the payment of the parking fee makes it possible to unambiguously declare a link between the two events.
  • the sequence is unambiguous, that is to say without interference with the arrival of another vehicle before the payment transaction, this in a pre-recorded time.
  • one of the aims of the invention is thus to deal with the cases of interference in the management of a parking area where the parking spaces are not identified individually, for example by a number.
  • the contribution of the present invention thus consists in creating a link between a vehicle and a payment by seeking and analyzing the temporal correlation between the moment of arrival on a parking zone, given by vehicle presence detectors, and the moment when the motorist pays the parking fee.
  • the correlation between the arrival of one, two or even n vehicles and the payment of the parking fee is ambiguous.
  • a second vehicle or even another vehicle arrives before a first payment corresponding to the first vehicle has been made in the pre-recorded time, even if arrival and payment have been made, for each vehicle, in the predefined time. Correlation is ambiguous while entitlement payments are in order.
  • the ambiguous correlation information carries a message indicating that, at the expiration of the pre-recorded duration, the vehicles occupying the parking spaces monitored by the two or even the n detectors of the sequence were in good standing with the payment. taxes and may even be recharged where appropriate. This is despite the fact that the vehicles are not located individually but that the occupied spaces are known by the knowledge of the arrangement of the detectors.
  • the sending of the control signal indicates that the shortest paid duration has expired while the parking spaces monitored by the two or even the n vehicle detectors of the sequence are still vehicles detected, which means that the vehicle with the shortest paid duration is in violation.
  • the sending of the control signal indicates that the longest paid duration has expired while at least one of the parking spaces monitored by both, or even the n vehicle detectors of the sequence, is still occupied by one of the vehicles whose presence has been detected, which means that the vehicle (s) still present are in violation, regardless of the duration paid for them.
  • the processing unit is thus programmed to monitor the parking spaces of the area in question, treating them not individually but collectively, by means of n detectors of the detected sequence, that is to say the n detectors having sent to the processing unit the first and up to the umpteenth presence signal marking the beginning and the end of the sequence.
  • the invention deals with the case of long vehicles that touch two adjacent sensors, that is to say, disposed at a distance from each other less than a reference distance.
  • the signal of the first sensor having entered a vehicle may be associated with the signal of a second adjacent sensor and reported the presence of the same vehicle within a second predetermined time. This is the reason why it is planned to program the processing unit to perform step i) in the following particular way:
  • the server may then contain a table in which the cadastral positions of each of the sensors are recorded, which makes it possible to send to the operator, himself equipped with a PDA, the positions of the sensors on which there is a vehicle to control.
  • the time window whose expiration marks the end of the sequence that the processing unit is programmed to detect is typically 5 minutes.
  • the first pre-recorded time interval typically ranges from a few tens of seconds to a few minutes.
  • the second pre-recorded time interval is of the order of ten seconds. Under these conditions, n will most often be equal to 2 or even 3, but the probability that n is greater than or equal to 4 will remain very low.
  • the vehicle parking management system is more particularly characterized in that the processing unit is programmed to:
  • the processing unit is thus programmed to monitor the parking spaces of the area in question, by treating them collectively on the scale of a sector, by means of n detectors of the sequence, c. that is to say the n detectors having sent to the processing unit the presence signals marking the beginning and the end of the sequence, while allowing the sequence to take into account the payment in the sector where the n detectors are arranged or in an adjacent area.
  • the present device involves, Fig. 1 , a time stamp 10 connected to a server or processing unit 20 and provided with conventional elements such as the central unit, the screen and the dialogue keyboard 11, the ticket printer 12, the coin compartment 13, a keyboard 14 on which it is possible to enter a vehicle registration number and a sector number 15 to locate the time stamp geographically.
  • the Fig. 2 presents a vehicle presence detector 33 which is to be embedded in the ground.
  • the Fig. 3 presents a road sector with undisclosed parking spaces in the parking band 31.
  • the presence detectors 33 are placed inside the parking band and regularly spaced a distance less than a predefined vehicle length so to detect them. These detectors are connected by radio to the time stamp 34 which is connected by GSM / GPRS link to the server or processing unit 20. Note that the processing unit can be installed in a time stamp assigned to a set of vehicle detectors.
  • the parking spaces are not delimited, nor are they numbered.
  • the operation is as follows: a vehicle arriving in the area to park generates the sending, to the time stamp, a first arrival signal on a first detector, or a second arrival signal on a second detector, if both vehicle detectors are adjacent. The two arrival signals are then included in a predetermined time interval. If in another pre-recorded time interval a payment operation takes place, then the parking operation is correlated and stored in the processing unit memory.
  • the registration of the vehicle registration number is required, then the position of the vehicle and its registration number are known. Therefore, it may be proceeded to an administrative follow-up when the time paid for the right to park is exceeded. Similarly, if the refill operations are accepted, they can be followed remotely, insofar as the motorist is asked to enter, at each new recharge, its registration number.
  • the invention deals with the case where the arrival of a second vehicle is interposed before the receipt of a first payment corresponding to the first or the second vehicle. Such a sequence is detected by the duly programmed processing unit.
  • the absence of vehicle signal means the signal marking the end of the detection of the presence of a vehicle by a detector, indicating that the vehicle has left the parking space monitored by the detector.
  • the processing unit detects such a sequence. If no second payment is made before the expiry of the pre-recorded period, starting on receipt of the second arrival signal, the two vehicles in question will be declared as being in an undefined state for one and in breach for the other. from the moment the predetermined time has elapsed. In such a case, the clarification can be done after an agent has been informed of the situation so that he intervenes on the site, that is to say has received a control signal sent by the processing unit. for the detected sequence. Judiciously, the agent will be provided with a PDA serving as control means 5, connected by GPS or equivalent with the server serving as a processing unit. The agent therefore has the option to initiate the administrative procedure for the offending vehicle and can also send a message to the server to confirm the missing geographical link (s).
  • the processing unit detects such a sequence. If not more than one additional payment has taken place before the expiry of the pre-recorded delay, starting with the reception of the third arrival signal, a control signal will be sent, from the moment the predetermined time has expired, to the control means to indicate that one or two all three vehicles is in violation.
  • this counter passes to the value 1. If this operation is followed by a payment, the counter returns to 0, indicating that there is correlation. between the last payment and the parking operation.
  • the sequence will be detected by the processing unit duly programmed and the counter will go to two and will be followed by a double decrement if, before the expiry of the pre-recorded delay, starting on receipt of the arrival signal of the second vehicle, the two payment signals are received by the processing unit (eg less than 3 minutes), this making it possible to correlate the two payment operations to the two parking spaces without can define individually which payment corresponds to which parking.
  • the counter must remain at a value of one at the expiration of the predetermined duration, starting at the reception of the arrival signal of the second vehicle, it will be automatically decremented from one simultaneously to the sending, by the processing unit. , a control signal announcing that one of the two vehicles is in violation and that it is necessary to send a screening officer.
  • the counter will be automatically decremented from two simultaneously with the sending, by the processing unit, of a control signal announcing that the two detected vehicles are in violation and that it is necessary to send a control agent.
  • a predefined value for example 5 minutes
  • the Fig. 4 presents a pattern similar to that of the figure 3 .
  • the payments are made from mobile phones 41.
  • the signals of the vehicle sensors are sent to an intermediate hub 42 before being sent by GSM / GPRS or equivalent to the central server. It is a good idea to specify that when making payments by phone, the application that manages the payment requires entering the sector or block number 43 before accepting the payment. In addition, this payment is only allowed after the motorist has pre-registered beforehand and as a result, the registration number of the vehicle is known on the server.
  • the Fig. 5 presents a pattern similar to that of the Fig. 4 in which the payments can be made on the parking meter 51 or by means of mobile telephones 52.
  • the designation of the zone required when paying by telephone may correspond to the designation 53 of the parking meters or to an independent designation marked on specific panels 54. This last solution allows a much finer resolution for telephone payments.
  • the Fig. 5 presents a time stamp with the zone designation 51 and this same zone can be broken down into islands 511, 512, 513 etc. for phone payments.
  • This finer definition makes it possible to greatly reduce the probability of ambiguities and thus to follow in a more precise way the operations carried out by the mobile phones and in particular the recharging operations if necessary.
  • the Fig. 6 a street in which there is a parking band 61 equipped with vehicle detectors and a parking meter 62.
  • the area has been divided into small areas valid for time-stamp or telephone payments 63.
  • the numbers of the small sectors may be be marked on the ground either on the side of Route 64 or Sidewalk 65.
  • the payment transaction is preceded by the data, by the motorist, the sector number. When it is between two sectors, there is a risk of confusion.
  • One of the methods of resolution consists in attaching the detectors to specific sectors and then, in the analysis that follows the detection of the arrival of a vehicle, it will be taken into account the possible payments made in the adjacent sectors, these The last payments will then be returned to the sector containing the detectors considered.
  • the processing unit 20 is programmed to make a partition of the vehicle detectors arranged in the parking area, into different parking areas numbered 64, to associate a parking area identification signal with each payment signal and detecting sector by sector the sequence such that the n vehicle detectors of a sequence belong to the same sector and the payment signal is associated with an identification signal of the same sector or one or other sectors, for example adjacent to the parking area.
  • the figure 7 illustrates the embodiment of the invention in which the parking area is divided into sectors of 2 to 4 vehicles, in which the places are not numbered. Each of the detectors is attached to a numbered sector.
  • each motorist is asked to indicate the number of this sector in association with the payment. What everyone will do by giving the number 122 but perhaps also by indicating 121 or 123, because these are the numbers of the adjacent sectors.
  • the processing unit is duly programmed to detect the sequence specific to the sector to which belong the two detectors having sent the two presence signals, taking into account the first payment signal whose associated identification signal is either the number 122, that is the sector number, or the number 121 or 123, that is to say the number of an adjacent sector.
  • processing unit 20 can be programmed to associate a time window, a first delay or a second delay specific to each sector.
