[Industrial application field] The method of operating a bicycle parking facility.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There are various modes of transportation in the city such as walking, bicycles, motorcycles, private cars, taxis, buses, trains and subways. Trains and subways run on dedicated tracks, so the operating time is accurate and easy to use. On the other hand, it is difficult to construct a large number of stations because the construction of stations and the laying of railway tracks require a lot of cost and time for land acquisition. Stations are located at intervals of several kilometers even in the center of the city and more than 10 kilometers in the suburbs, so it is difficult to move from your home or facility to the nearest station by walking, and you need a bicycle, private car, taxi, or bus. Becomes At suburban stations, which have residential areas, bicycles run by citizens are flooding and suffering from bicycle pollution that blocks sidewalks and roadways.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Conventionally, a bicycle parking lot has been provided in the vicinity of stations, public facilities, and department stores in order to store bicycles carried by citizens. It is a mechanism to collect and store a bicycle parking fee of several hundred yen per day and several thousand yen per month. In order to set up the bicycle parking lot mentioned above, it is necessary to secure a large amount of land and to arrange a manager, which is expensive. In order to construct a bicycle parking lot with a large capacity for storing bicycles, which is worth the cost by arranging managers, the land cost and construction cost are high, so there was a problem that it could be set up only in a very limited area such as around the main station. As a result, bicycle parking lots are installed only in very limited places such as major stations and large public facilities, so illegally parked bicycles overflowed around pedestrians and small and medium-sized stations without bicycle parking lots and bus stops. It blocks the passage of cars. In particular, there are many areas where it is very difficult for wheelchairs to pass.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In the method for operating a bicycle parking facility according to the present invention, firstly, a target number of bicycles to be parked for each of a plurality of bicycle parking facilities is determined and the target number is maintained. In this case, the target number of bicycles to be parked is set according to the situation where the bicycle parking facility is installed. Depending on the time of day, the number of privately-owned bicycles and bicycles that wish to park at the bicycle parking facility will differ. Predict this quantity and secure enough space for the bicycle. Regarding the number of rental bicycles to be rented, similarly, a target quantity in a time zone is set and the rental cycle is transported by a truck or the like in order to reach the target quantity. Secondly, when the number of bicycles in each of a plurality of bicycle parking facilities is counted in a repeating cycle of one hour or less, a cycle box, which is a box for folding and storing a bicycle, stores the bicycle. The number of bicycles is grasped by collecting the results of detection of the state of being stored or not stored by a computer etc. for each time period. Thirdly, in the case where the bicycle managed and operated by the bicycle parking facility is provided with a display function of an empty vehicle or an actual vehicle, the above display is provided at a position such as a handle of a bicycle or a saddle that is easy to see. In the case of a privately owned bicycle, it is displayed as an actual vehicle or as a privately owned bicycle. Fourth, in addition to any one of the first to third characteristics, the position of the bicycle is
If it is characterized by PS, the position of the bicycle can be accurately grasped regardless of whether it is a bicycle parking lot or the city. By combining it with the display of the actual vehicle and the empty vehicle, it can be grasped as information including the state of the bicycle. Fifth, in addition to any one of the first to fourth features, when the display of the bicycle can be operated wirelessly from the bicycle parking facility, the display of the empty or actual bicycle is controlled by remote control. . Sixth, in addition to any one of the first to fifth features, when the position of the bicycle is transmitted and displayed on the mobile phone, the information can be easily transmitted to an individual who is looking for the bicycle. . Seventh, in addition to any one of the first to sixth features, when the bicycle is characterized by being stored in a cycle box, the bicycle is stored to protect the bicycle from rain and snow. Eighth, in addition to the seventh feature, when the bicycle storage state of the cycle box is monitored and displayed, the owner bicycle is stored in the cycle box or the bicycle is stored. Monitor the condition, or if it is empty, monitor whether the bicycle will be stored (reserved) in the box. In the monitoring, the individual boxes may judge by having a calculation function, or the information may be transmitted to a monitoring center by a wired or wireless line and monitored centrally. The display is performed on the display screen. Ninth, in addition to the seventh or eighth feature, when the cycle box has a feature for storing a folding bicycle, the size of the storage box to be prepared is small because it is premised that the bicycle can be folded.

EXAMPLE 1 Example 1 of the present invention will be described. This is an example of arranging a bicycle parking facility (also called a cycle depot) in the city to facilitate movement by bicycle. This is an example in which a general bicycle management facility 1 having a function of managing the distribution of bicycles in the city and a temporary bicycle storage facility 2 are distributed in the city to provide an environment in which citizens can easily travel by bicycle. FIG. 1 schematically shows the facilities such as the city center station 3 and the urban facilities and roads around the station, and the suburban station 4 and the housing 5 around it. The city adjacent to the city center station will be described in detail. Public bus 6 operates in the city. A school 7 is located 2 kilometers north-northwest of the city center station (with the north facing the page) and a public hall 8 is located 3 kilometers west of the school, where public concerts and other events are held. To the west of the public facilities, there is a tourist spot 9 four kilometers away. This tourist destination is a beach with a sandy beach. Seafood restaurants are lined up along the coast. A department store has been built as a large-scale store 10 at a distance of 2 kilometers southwest of the public facilities. A large-scale parking lot 11 is set up 2 km south-southeast from the large-scale store. This large-scale parking lot is provided near the exit of the highway connecting the residential area 5 and the city area around the city center station near the city center station. Providing a parking lot here is expected to have the effect of absorbing the private vehicle 12 at the water's edge around the city and preventing it from flowing into the city. A corporate office building 13 is located 3 kilometers east of the large parking lot. 2000 people work in this office building. Two kilometers north-northeast of this office building is the new station mentioned above. In addition, there is an intersection where 6 roads intersect at a point 3 km west of the city center station. From this intersection, you can go to major places such as city center stations, schools and tourist spots by almost straight roads, but there is a high possibility that congestion will occur due to the concentration of private cars etc. at this intersection. There is a public bus stop near the main facilities.

The actual operation will be described. The bicycle management facility is a bicycle parking facility that has a function of counting the number of bicycles stored in the facility. In FIG. 1, the vicinity of the central station 3, the vicinity of the large-scale store 10 and the vicinity of the large-scale parking lot 11 (the circled symbol with diagonal hatching that rises to the right)
Is this bicycle parking facility. The temporary bicycle storage facility 2 is located at a position indicated by a black circle. It is installed in schools 7, public facilities 8, tourist attractions 9, and city center 14. This temporary bicycle storage facility is a simple bicycle parking lot that only secures space for bicycle parking. Even if it is a temporary storage facility, the bicycle is not placed in a bare state, but a box called a cycle box or a rental cycle box that stores the bicycle completely is installed and stored there. The cycle box is a bicycle storage box for an owner-type bicycle, and the rental bicycle box is a storage box for a bicycle. A single box that is centrally managed so as to be compatible with both the owner type and the rental cycle type may be simply referred to as a cycle box.
In this city, there are 300 rental bicycles with a yellow paint. Depending on the time of day, there are places where bicycle rental is used frequently and places where it is rarely used. Many people rent bicycles at the central station 2 and large parking lot 11 when going to work or going to school in the morning. Therefore, at 7:30 in the morning, 150 bicycles will be collected in the bicycle integrated management facility near the city center station 2 and 100 bicycles will be collected in the bicycle integrated management facility near the large-scale parking lot 11. From 7 am to 7:30 pm before the morning car traffic starts, use the bicycle transport truck 15 to distribute the rental bicycles to each bicycle comprehensive management facility and temporary bicycle storage facility. Transport to management facility. At this time, some bicycles will be left in the parking lots other than the above-mentioned two bicycle management facilities. For example, 10 bicycles are left in the bicycle comprehensive management facility near a large-scale store, and 3 bicycles are left in the bicycle temporary facility in the city center. The person who rents a rental bicycle pays the rental fee on a monthly basis and has a commuter pass. To enter the bicycle parking area of the bicycle comprehensive management facility, the commuter pass must be passed through an automatic ticket gate. Recognize who pays the rental fee this way. Since there is a flex work system for commuting, the peak working hours are from 8 am to 10 am in the morning. School attendance peaks between 8am and 9am. At around 10 o'clock, the bicycles at the two bicycle parking lots at the city center station and the large-scale parking lot will almost go out. One feature of this embodiment is that the bicycles are collected and redistributed on time. At 10:00, collect bicycle rental bicycles at a temporary bicycle facility near the school. The number of bicycle rental bicycles is about 100, depending on the day of the week and the weather. At the time of collection, leave 10 cars at the bicycle parking lot (about 90 cars will be collected). Similarly, some of the bicycles that are parked at the general bicycle management facility near the office building will be collected. The number of bicycles parked at 10:30 in the morning is around 150. 70 of them are collected. The collected bicycle will be redistributed to other bicycle management facilities and temporary bicycle storage facilities. 50 and 20 bicycles will be distributed to the bicycle management facilities near the city center station and large-scale parking lot. The remaining 100
The stand is stored in the rental cycle stockyard 16. The number of rental bicycles in the city is adjusted by storing and re-releasing them in the stockyard in consideration of the lower demand during the day compared to the demand for rental bicycles when commuting to school or commuting in the morning.
Through the collection and redistribution and the adjustment, the total number of rental bicycles in the city and its distribution are properly balanced.
At lunch time, tourist spot 9 is crowded with people for lunch and breaks. Therefore, at 11:30 am, 20 bicycles will be available at the temporary bicycle storage facility near the tourist spot.
This temporary storage facility has a capacity for 50 bicycles. People who come to this tourist destination from other places by privately owned owner bicycle or bicycle can also use this temporary storage facility. For privately owned bicycles, 1 for parking fee
Pay 0 yen. Each restaurant in the tourist area also has a bicycle parking space so that people who eat can park their bicycles in the space. When commuting to school or commuting in the evening, many bicycles are distributed to schools and offices. When collecting and distributing, check the number of units at each facility and collect
Reflect in distribution plan. The number of bicycles is checked by monitoring the number of bicycles stored in the cycle box and rental bicycle box at the central management center via wired or wireless lines. It is convenient to have a GPS navigation system on your bicycle or owner's bicycle.

The second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1 again. In this example, the distribution management of the rental cycle in the city is expanded to comprehensively manage the distribution of the rental cycle including the suburban station 4 and the housing 5. The distance between the house 5 and the suburban station 4 is 3 kilometers, so it is a little long to walk. Many people use bicycles. Here, a house is a lump of residential area with a radius of about 200 meters, including an individual detached house, a condominium, and an apartment. It manages the number of bicycles parked at the bicycle comprehensive management facility near the suburban station (hatching with diagonal lines rising to the right) and the bicycle comprehensive management facility 17 near the residential area. When commuting to school or commuting in the morning, collect many bicycles at the bicycle management facility near the residential area. If the rental cycle is not enough, it is transported from the rental cycle stockyard 16 and replenished. If there is too much, store it in the rental cycle stockyard. Some people go to work at home at night and some go to work in the morning.
Go to school. The means of transportation may be by renting a bicycle to a suburban station and heading to a city center station by train, or by using a private car to the large-scale parking lot. For those who go to the suburb station by bicycle, 70 bicycles are prepared in the bicycle management facility near the residential area 17 at 6 am, and 70 bicycles are stored in the bicycle management facility near the suburban station 18. Prepare a space that can be stored. 9 in the morning
At that time, 80% or more of the 70 bicycles have moved to the bicycle management facility near the suburban station.
Part of this rental cycle is carried by train 19 to the city center station. Here, we will describe in detail the night transportation of a train.
A person who goes to work early in the morning heads to the bicycle management facility near the suburban station from the bicycle management facility near the residential area at 6 o'clock in the morning by a bicycle and board a train departing from the suburban station at 6:15. At this time, load the bicycle on the train and unload it when you get off at the city center station. In this way, certain benefits are given to those who carry the bicycle to the central station. One of the benefits is that a person carrying a bicycle can get on a dedicated vehicle with seats. This privilege prepares a train car that only the person carrying the bicycle can get on, and the vehicle has a place to fix the bicycle and a seat where people can sit. Various ideas have been devised for the system that gives benefits depending on the direction in which the bicycle is moved. There may be a system in which a person who transports a rental bicycle to a cycle box at a place necessary for commuting in the morning before the commuting time collects the rental fee instead of collecting the rental fee. When the bicycle is stored in a cycle box in an area where it is unlikely to be used, a blue lamp lights up in the cycle box. When this lamp is on, the rental fee is increased (that is, a negative charge is collected) when the rental cycle in the storage box is carried to the specified location by the specified time. One way to add money is to increase the amount of electronic money set for the rental cycle fee. One way to transport a bicycle is to have it installed when you take a taxi or bus. It can be mounted on a taxi or bus that has a cycle frame for mounting the bicycle on a taxi or bus with the bicycle folded.

People other than those who go to work or go to school in the house mainly work in the area of the house. It is common practice to go shopping or take an infant to play. In order to be used by these people, a part of the rental bicycle of the bicycle suburban station integrated management facility is transported to the residential area bicycle integrated management facility in advance. This Example 2
Will manage the rental cycle in the city and houses according to the usage situation of the rental cycle so as to realize the optimal rental cycle distribution at that time. In addition to the management and transportation of this bicycle, privately owned bicycles owned by each individual will also be managed and transported if consigned. For example, after a salaried worker goes to a bicycle management facility near a suburban station from a bicycle management facility near a residential area by a privately owned bicycle at 6:30 in the morning and rides on the train, the privately owned bicycle can be used by 7 am in the morning. If you request a return to a bicycle management facility near a residential area, the management / transportation side will also move your privately owned bicycle along with the rental cycle. The privately-owned bicycle can be used by the family of office workers for shopping during the day. If it is entrusted to return the privately-owned bicycle to the bicycle management facility near the suburban station at the time of returning home in the evening, it will be transported in the same way as the rental cycle. In some cases, this movement may be performed by an individual using the same system as discounting or increasing the rental fee. In other words, the movement of the owner bicycle is also included in the range of benefits related to the rental bicycle.

A third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. This is an example in which the rental cycle is provided with a function of displaying whether the rental cycle is available, is being used by someone, or is being reserved. A display unit 21 is attached to the handle 20 of the bicycle.
This display unit has a built-in GPS so that the position can be grasped at a bicycle comprehensive management facility (not shown). An empty vehicle lamp 22 and an actual vehicle lamp 23 are attached to the display unit. When the empty car lamp is on, the bicycle can be used as a bicycle. When using, input his / her personal identification number with the input key 24. The actual vehicle lamp 23 lights up at the same time as the input. The usage fee is collected from the individual's account while the actual vehicle lamp is on. If you are an individual who wants to secure a rental bicycle for your destination on your way home
You can leave 3 as it is. When leaving the bicycle as it is, the empty vehicle lamp 22 may be turned on and the bicycle may be left at the bicycle parking lot. If the bicycle comprehensive management facility recognizes by GPS the bicycle that is running even if it is empty, a warning is sent to that bicycle. At the bicycle management facility, it is possible to understand the rental cycle usage history of each individual. If an individual notices that he / she has forgotten to switch to an empty car and has left it, he / she inquires of the bicycle management facility about his / her rental cycle usage history. If the actual car lamp is lit, the display will be switched wirelessly.

A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. This is an example in which the mobile phone 25 is provided with a function of displaying the existing position 26 of the rented bicycle. Mobile phone 2
5 is a mobile phone with a position recognition function by GPS or PDA or a mobile phone without GPS or P
Including up to DA. In the case of a mobile phone with a position recognition function, the position of the rented bicycle that is the closest to the position of the user is automatically displayed. If you want to use the rental bicycle, make a reservation on your mobile phone and then walk to the rental bicycle. The rental bicycle in the empty state switches to the actual vehicle display when receiving a reservation wirelessly.

A fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. It is an example of the cycle box 27. This box folds and stores a bicycle. Since the door 28 has casters, it can be moved smoothly even if a bicycle is placed. The door has a polycarbonate window so you can look inside and it will not break like glass. This cycle box is very compact because it houses a folding bike. Since it can be placed on the rack from the side, it is easy to store. The cycle box is equipped with a charging plug. Use this charging plug to charge the bicycle battery. This charging plug is very convenient when a GPS, a headlight, or an electric assist is attached to the bicycle. Ordinary coin lockers may be installed above the cycle box or a planter box may be installed to beautify the environment.

A sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The bicycle tire is put on the tire guide 29 and the bicycle is slid into the cycle box 27. This cycle box may be installed in a small gap like a parking meter installed in a car parking lot. The cycle box stores folding bicycles compactly, so you can park your bicycle without occupying a small amount of land in a convenient place such as in front of a station. The bike is perfectly stored in the box, so it has a great view. It goes without saying that the bicycle doesn't hurt.

A seventh embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The door of the cycle box 27 is an example of the shutter door 30. The shutter door can be opened and closed from the top to the front of the cycle box. The figure depicts a state in which the upper surface and part of the front surface are closed.

A seventh embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. This is an example in which the electronic display 31 is installed on the side surface of the cycle box 27. When an available rental cycle (rental cycle in a vacant state) is stored in the cycle box, the electronic display emits green light entirely. You can easily find an available rental cycle by looking for this green electronic display. The electronic display emits a dark blue color when the owner's bicycle (individually owned bicycle) is stored in the cycle box and is in use (actual vehicle state)
If the rental bicycle is temporarily stored, it emits a dark red color.If there is no storage inside, but it is reserved, it emits an orange light. None) is emitting bright yellow light. The state where storage is reserved is explained in the next section.

A person who wants to use the rental cycle searches for a cycle box in which the electronic display is emitting green light. When the box is found, the electronic display is operated to specify the target point 32 to which the user wants to go. Then, the electronic display communicates with the central management center (not shown) and can be received in the vicinity of the target box.
3 is displayed. In FIG. 6, the target point is drawn as a black circle, and the acceptable boxes (two) are drawn as white circles. This communication may be performed wirelessly or by wire. When one of the displayed acceptable boxes is selected as desired, the acceptable box is placed in a reserved state (a state called “state in which storage is reserved” in the previous section). When this operation is completed and the user who wishes to use the personal identification number is entered on the electronic display, the shutter door 30 is opened. In this embodiment, the user of the rental bicycle always secures a storage box around the target point, so that the appearance of the city can be maintained without leaving the bicycle on the road and an accident due to an abandoned bicycle can be prevented.

An eighth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. This is an example of utilizing the electronic display 31 as an advertising medium for corporate information. When the target point is displayed in the seventh embodiment, the display can display shops, banks, restaurants, etc. around the target point. In particular, we will post in detail about the shops that want to post advertisements on this electronic display. Advertisements such as the lunch service menu will be posted to restaurants that pay advertising fees and wish to be posted.
As another posting method, there is an example of posting about a store that bears the usage fee of the cycle box. That is, Example 7
If a customer who wants to use the target site specifies a shop in the area, he / she will be charged a part or all of the rental cycle fee if the surrounding shops shop at his / her own shop. Or, post an advertisement such as discounting the price of the product for the rental fee. As another example, if you want to collect bicycles near your office at a certain time, post an advertisement on the electronic display to thank the person who rides the bicycle in the bicycle box near the office . The person who saw the advertisement posted on the electronic display of the cycle box, which is away from the office, does not need to ride a bicycle, but thanks to the appreciation, he / she rides the bicycle to the designated place. The rental fee of the rental cycle may be paid by the person who gets on the bicycle, and the office may hand over the item or cash to the person. Alternatively, the rental fee itself may be paid by the electronic money by the office. In addition, it may be used as general town information or as a display screen on the Internet. In this way, the electronic display also functions as a comprehensive electronic guide plate and information panel. The electronic display may be attached to each box or may be managed by one display for a plurality of boxes.

A ninth embodiment of the present invention will be described without using the drawings. It is an example about a folding bicycle. It is an example of a folding bicycle suitable for storing the bicycle in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped cycle box. The bicycle frame and lighting device are integrated to minimize the volume of the rectangular parallelepiped, the rechargeable battery is stored inside the frame, the shopping basket is folded and contracted, and the saddle height is adjusted. It has a pin type that can be easily shortened, and the pedal can be folded so that the width can be narrowed.

A supplementary explanation will be given of the cycle box. Folding bicycles are (1) disassembled type, (2) laterally foldable type (folded laterally around the hinge of the center frame), (3) longitudinally retractable type (Bridgestone Transit Compact, Rolland Plastic)
There is a folding bicycle called STRIDA of the company). In terms of compatibility with the rental cycle box that is the storage box for the rental cycle, the vertical contraction type of (3) is preferable. Since it is easy to store because it is easy to fold, anyone can easily fold it and store it in the rental bicycle box. This vertical contraction type has the characteristic that the height is higher than the horizontal folding type when folded, so the rental cycle box is the owner type (the horizontal folding type is the mainstream)
It is necessary to increase the storage height compared to. on the other hand,
The main type of owner type is the horizontal folding type. It takes more time to store and restore than the vertical contraction type, but the volume when storing is small. The height is not particularly high. In the case of the owner-only cycle box, it is sufficient to install a large number of items that can be folded horizontally. In order to store both the owner type and the rental cycle, it is sufficient to prepare a cycle box that can store both the vertical contraction type and the horizontal folding type. It is necessary to have a storage box that considers both internal structures such as tire guides so that a vertically retractable bicycle can be stored and a laterally-folded bicycle that is deformed to a different shape can also be stored. It can be said that a very effective cycle box was installed by devising the internal structure and shape in this way and installing the cycle box compatible with both the vertical contraction type and the horizontal folding type. It should be noted that the disassembling method need not be intentionally selected if either of the other methods (horizontal folding method, vertical contraction method) can be implemented.

[0020]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION By using the bicycle parking facility and the method of operating the same according to the present invention, the bicycle can be efficiently operated.
The bicycle parking space can be saved because the rental bicycle is not left unnecessarily for a long time while not in use. Sufficient bicycles are supplied to the places where you want to use them, so people can use their bicycles at ease when they need them. Effective use of privately-owned bicycles is promoted when providing mobility services not only for rental bicycles but also for privately-owned bicycles. A cycle box is effective for extending the life of the bicycle. You can also keep the aesthetics of the city by storing your bicycle in the cycle box.
