Further, the upper surface of the line display portion 35a and the garage floor surface 36 are at the same level, so that the vehicle 25 can travel on the line display portion 35a without a step. Here, the cover of the line display part 35a has a strength that can withstand the weight of the vehicle 25, and no abnormality occurs in the line display part 35a even if the vehicle 25 gets on the cover.

  Next, the configuration of the warehousing management system will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is an overall configuration diagram showing an outline of the warehousing management system.

  In FIG. 2, the garage controller 31 has a microcomputer composed of a CPU, various memories, and the like, and the garage controller 31 performs warehousing management control by the microcomputer. A vehicle detection sensor 32 is connected to the garage controller 31, and a detection signal is output from the vehicle detection sensor 32 to the garage controller 31, so that the garage controller 31 has the presence or absence of the vehicle 25 existing in the garage space. And its position is acquired. That is, the situation on the garage 15 side is acquired as garage side information (parking lot side information).

  A garage communication device 38 that enables wireless communication with the vehicle 25 side is connected to the garage controller 31, and a signal transmitted from the vehicle 25 side can be received by the garage controller 31. .

  Further, a display device 35 is connected to the garage controller 31, and display control of the display device 35 is performed by outputting a control signal from the garage controller 31 to the display device 35. . More specifically, when a display signal is output from the garage controller 31 to the display device 35, one of the line display portions 35a is turned on according to the display signal. Further, the line display portion 35a is turned off by outputting the non-display signal. And the target parking area is variably displayed by selecting the line display part 35a to light up by the garage controller 31.

  Furthermore, a shutter device 41 that can open and close the garage opening 22 is connected to the garage controller 31, and a control signal is output from the garage controller 31 to the shutter device 41. The opening / closing control of the device 41 is performed.

  The shutter device 41 includes a shutter curtain 42 that can be raised and lowered, and a shutter case 43 that can accommodate the shutter curtain 42, and the shutter case 43 is attached above the garage opening 22. The shutter curtain 42 is accommodated in the shutter case 43 in a wound state, and the garage opening 22 is opened when the shutter curtain 42 is wound, and the garage opening is opened when the shutter curtain 42 is extended. The part 22 is closed. The shutter device 41 opens and closes the garage opening 22 in accordance with a control signal output from the garage controller 31.

  The garage controller 31 is connected to an operating device 45 that can be operated by a user. The shutter device 41 can be opened and closed by performing a predetermined operation on the operating device 45. That is, apart from the opening / closing control by the garage controller 31, the garage opening 22 can be opened / closed by the user's intention.

  The vehicle 25 that is stored in the garage 15 is provided with an ECU 51 as a vehicle controller, and the ECU 51 includes a microcomputer including a CPU and various memories. An ETC in-vehicle device 52 is connected to the ECU 51, and the ETC in-vehicle device can read information from the ETC card. The ETC in-vehicle device 52 is a terminal of an ETC system used for fee settlement when the vehicle 25 travels on a toll road such as an expressway. In the ETC card, information related to the vehicle 25 such as ID information, size, and usage of the vehicle 25 is registered as ETC information, and the ETC information is acquired by the ECU 51. Incidentally, the ETC information includes vehicle type information including at least the vehicle size, and the vehicle type information includes information regarding the use in addition to the vehicle size. For example, when the vehicle 25 is a welfare vehicle, this information is included in the vehicle type information.

  The ETC in-vehicle device 52 has a wireless communication function, and wireless communication with the garage communication device 38 provided in the garage 15 is possible. Then, the ETC information is transmitted from the ETC in-vehicle device 52 to the garage communication device 38, so that the ETC information is acquired by the garage controller 31 as vehicle-side information.

  Here, the garage controller 31 has an ID authentication function, and each time the vehicle 25 is received in the garage 15, the garage controller 31 performs an ID authentication process based on the ID information included in the ETC information. . As a result of the ID authentication processing, when it is confirmed that the vehicle 25 is a registered vehicle registered in advance in the garage controller 31, the garage controller 31 performs opening control of the shutter device 41. In this case, the garage opening 22 is opened, and the vehicle 25 as a registered vehicle can be stored. On the other hand, as a result of the ID authentication process, when it is confirmed that the vehicle 25 is not a registered vehicle, the closed state of the garage opening 22 by the shutter curtain 42 is maintained, and entry of the vehicle 25 is restricted. In this case, arbitrary entry into the garage 15 of the vehicle 25 as a non-registered vehicle that has not received user approval is suppressed.

  When the vehicle 25 is parked in the target parking area, a signal indicating parking completion is output from the ETC in-vehicle device 52 to the garage controller 31 with the engine stop or the like as a trigger, and the garage controller 31 indicates that the parking is completed based on the signal. Information is acquired. In this case, the garage controller 31 controls the closing of the shutter device 41 so that the garage opening 22 is closed. In this case, the crime prevention effect etc. can be expected by simply parking the vehicle 25 in the target parking area S. In addition, after the parking of the vehicle 25 is completed, the occurrence of inconvenience that the user is trapped in the garage 15 can be suppressed by setting a predetermined time lag before the garage opening 22 is closed.

  Further, the vehicle 25 has an immobilizer system, and immobilization authentication is performed between the electronic key and the vehicle 25 when starting the engine. As a result of immobilization authentication, when engine start in a regular procedure is confirmed, an engine start signal indicating that is transmitted from the ECU 51 to the garage controller 31. In this case, when it is further confirmed that the vehicle 25 is a registered vehicle, the garage controller 31 controls the opening of the shutter device 41. Thereby, the garage opening part 22 is open | released and the vehicle 25 can be left. On the other hand, when the engine start signal is not transmitted from the ECU 51 to the garage controller 31, the closed state of the garage opening 22 by the shutter curtain 42 is maintained, and the delivery of the vehicle 25 is restricted. As a result, unintended delivery of the vehicle 25 is restricted, and a crime prevention effect or the like can be expected.

  Next, the variable setting function of the target parking area S that the garage controller 31 has will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. 3 and 4, only the line display unit 35a displaying the target parking area S is illustrated.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, in the garage 15, two vehicles 25 of the same size are already parked side by side as parked vehicles 25a, and another vehicle 25 is parked as the current parked vehicle 25b. When parked side by side with 25a, the garage controller 31 acquires the garage side information and the vehicle side information, and sets the target parking area S based on the information.

  More specifically, the garage controller 31 acquires the parking position of the parked vehicle 25a based on the garage side information during parking. Then, based on the parking position of the adjacent parked vehicle 25a, the distance from the parked vehicle 25a is set to the separation distance L1 that is the target parking area S with respect to the current parked vehicle 25b. The separation distance L1 is such that the user can easily get on and off the parked vehicle 25a and the current parked vehicle 25b, and the distance between the vehicles 25a and 25b is not too small or too large. By the way, the area where the parked vehicle 25a is parked is an area where the current parked vehicle 25b cannot be parked, and the width of the unparkable area is L2. Moreover, the garage controller 31 acquires the size of the vehicle body from the vehicle-side information for the current parked vehicle 25b, and sets the width of the target parking area S to the area width L3 so as to match the vehicle body width. The area width L3 is large enough to facilitate the parking of the parked vehicle 25b this time, and to make it easy for the user to get in and out of the parked vehicle 25b, and to put in and take out articles.

  When the size and position of the target parking area S are set, the display control of the display device 35 is performed by the garage controller 31, so that only the target parking area S corresponding to the current parked vehicle 25b is displayed. More specifically, the garage controller 31 turns on the line display unit 35a (in FIG. 3A) located at or near the boundary of the target parking area S and turns off the other line display unit 35a. By doing so, the target parking area S is displayed. As a result, the target parking area S is clearly taught to the driver of the current parked vehicle 25b and the parked vehicle 25b can be parked in the target parking area S. In addition, the line display part 35a made into the lighting state is switched to a light extinction state after parking completion.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), when the size of the parked vehicle 25a is different from that of FIG. 3 (a), the vehicle width and the parking position of the parked vehicle 25a are different. The width L2 ′ is different from the width L2. In this case, the garage controller 31 sets the distance between the adjacent parked vehicle 25a and the target parking area S as the separation distance L1 '. The separation distance L1 ′ is such that the user can easily get on and off the parked vehicle 25a and the current parked vehicle 25b regardless of the non-parking width L2 ′, and the distance between the vehicles 25a and 25b is not too small or too large. It is such a size.

  If the size of the current parked vehicle 25b is different from that shown in FIG. 3A, the garage controller 31 sets the width of the target parking area S to the area width L3 'instead of the area width L3. The area width L <b> 3 ′ is large enough to facilitate the parking of the parked vehicle 25 b this time, and to make it easy for the user to get in and out of the parked vehicle 25 b and to put in and out articles.

  Furthermore, even if the target parking area S is at a position and size different from those in FIG. 3A, the display control is performed by the garage controller 31, as shown in FIG. Variable display. As a result, as described above, even if the size or parking position of the parked vehicle 25a is different or the size of the parked vehicle 25b is different, the driver of the parked vehicle 25b can be notified. On the other hand, the target parking area S is clearly taught, and the parked vehicle 25b can be parked in the target parking area S.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 4A, when it is possible to set a target parking area S whose width is the area width L4 between two parked vehicles 25a that have already been parked, If the width L4 is a size suitable for parking of the parked vehicle 25b this time, the target parking area S is set for the parked vehicle 25b. Then, by displaying the target parking area S on the display device 35, the current parked vehicle 25b can be parked between the two parked vehicles 25a. Thereby, the space in the garage 15 can be utilized effectively.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4B, if the area width L4 is not a size suitable for parking of the parked vehicle 25b this time, the target parking area S is between the two parked vehicles 25a. Is not set. For example, when the width of the target parking area S suitable for the current parked vehicle 25b is an area width L5 larger than the area width L4, the target parking area S is not set between the two parked vehicles 25a, It is set to another place where the area width L5 can be secured (for example, the opposite side across the parked vehicle 25a). Even in this case, the target parking area S is displayed on the display device 35, so that the current parked vehicle 25b can be parked at a place different from the space between the two parked vehicles 25a. That is, the current parked vehicle 25b can be parked at a suitable position.

  According to the embodiment described in detail above, the following excellent effects can be obtained.

  In the garage 15, the position and size of the target parking area S are set based on the vehicle-side information about the vehicle 25 and the garage-side information each time for the vehicle 25 parked this time. A parking area S is displayed. Therefore, unlike the configuration in which the target parking area S is set as a fixed position and size, the size of the parked vehicle 25a and the parking position may vary, or the size of the parked vehicle 25b may vary. Even so, each vehicle 25 can be parked at an appropriate position in the garage space based on the mutual relationship between the parked vehicle 25a and the current parked vehicle 25b. Thereby, it is suppressed that the space ensured around the vehicle 25 is too small or too large. That is, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of inconveniences such as difficulty in opening and closing the door and getting on and off by the user, and an increase in surplus space in the garage space. Therefore, the space in the garage can be effectively used while making it easy for the user to get on and off and to put in and out the article. Therefore, the vehicle 25 can be parked at an appropriate position in the garage 15, and the convenience for the user can be improved.

  Each time the vehicle 25 is stored in the garage 15, the target parking area S is set so as to be lined up with the parked vehicle 25a with reference to the parking position of the already parked vehicle 25. For this reason, the relative positional relationship between the parked vehicle 25a and the current parked vehicle 25b can be optimized. For example, when parking with this parking vehicle 25b so that the space | interval between these vehicles 25a and 25b may become predetermined space | interval, the parking vehicle 25b does not become too close or too far with respect to the parked vehicle 25a, An appropriate space can be secured between the vehicles 25a and 25b. That is, since the target parking area S is set based on the mutual relationship regarding the position of each vehicle 25a, 25b, it is suppressed that each vehicle 25a, 25b interferes with warehousing or getting on and off the user.

  Opening / closing control of the shutter device 41 is performed by the garage controller 31. In this case, by performing the ID authentication process for the current parked vehicle 25b, only the entry of the registered vehicle into the garage 15 is permitted, and the unauthorized entry of the unregistered vehicle into the garage 15 can be restricted. it can. Therefore, the registered vehicle can be parked at an appropriate position without using the garage space for the non-registered vehicle. In addition, immobilization authentication is performed on the vehicle 25 parked in the garage space, so that unintended movement of the vehicle 25 can be restricted. In other words, it is possible to restrict the parked vehicle 25a from being issued without permission. Therefore, the crime prevention effect of the vehicle 25 can be expected.

  The display control of the display device 35 is performed by the garage controller 31 so that the target parking area S is variably displayed. Therefore, every time the target parking area S is set, the target parking area S can be clearly taught by the display device 35 even if the size and position are different. Accordingly, the user can easily park the current parking vehicle 25b in the target parking area S.

  Since the wireless communication between the garage controller 31 and the ETC in-vehicle device 52 is possible, the garage controller 31 can acquire ETC information as vehicle-side information. Thereby, the ETC in-vehicle device used for the non-stop automatic toll collection system and the ETC information stored therein can be utilized in a wide variety of ways. Moreover, since it is not necessary to newly construct a communication system between the garage controller 31 and the ETC in-vehicle device 52, it is possible to construct a warehousing management system while suppressing an increase in cost associated with system construction.

(Other embodiments)
The present invention is not limited to the description of the above embodiment, and may be implemented as follows, for example.

  -Information about the entering / exiting order of the vehicle 25 with respect to the garage 15 may be acquired by the garage controller 31 as garage side information, and the target parking area S may be set based on the entering / exiting order. For example, the garage controller 31 is configured such that information such as a schedule for each vehicle 25 to enter and exit from the garage 15 and a user's schedule is stored, and information related to the storage order of the vehicles 25 is acquired based on the information. . In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, even if the garage 15 has a garage space where a plurality of vehicles 25 are parked vertically, each vehicle 25 is appropriately considered in consideration of the respective entry / exit order. It becomes possible to park at the position.

  For example, as the target parking area S, the first target parking area S1, the second target parking area S2 that is the side-by-side position of the first target parking area S1, and the third that is vertically aligned behind the first target parking area S1. When the target parking area S3 is set and the parked vehicle 25a is parked in the first target parking area S1 and the third target parking area S3, the current parking vehicle 25b is parked in the second target parking area S2. Then, unless the vehicle 25 is delivered from the second target parking area S2, the parked vehicle 25 in the third target parking area S3 cannot be delivered. In this case, in order to leave the parked vehicle 25 in the third target parking area S3, it takes time and effort to replace the front and rear vehicles 25.

  On the other hand, if the target parking areas S1 to S3 are set based on the loading / unloading order of the vehicle 25, the vehicle 25 can be moved in and out without replacing the vehicle 25. For example, when the first vehicle 25 scheduled to be released is initially received as the current parked vehicle 25b, if the first target parking area S1 is set when the vehicle 25a is received, the vehicle is set in each target parking area S1 to S3. Even after the vehicle 25 is parked, the vehicle 25 can be first delivered from the first target parking area S1 without replacing the vehicle 25. In this case, the target parking area S is set in consideration of not only the mutual relationship with respect to the position of each vehicle 25 but also the mutual relationship with respect to loading and unloading of each vehicle 25, thereby further improving convenience for the user. be able to.

  In the above embodiment, the line display unit 35a is provided so as to extend in the vehicle advance / retreat direction, and the target parking area S is taught between the two line display units 35a. The target parking area S may be taught by its length so as to extend in the intersecting direction. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, it is set as the structure by which the line display part 35a is each provided in the vehicle approach side with respect to each target parking area S4-S6. Moreover, the line display part 35a may be provided in the substantially whole garage floor 36 in the target parking area S. Even in these cases, the target parking area S can be clearly taught by switching the line display portion 35a between the lighting state and the extinguishing state.

  -In above-mentioned embodiment, although the line display part 35a was set as the structure by which the target parking area S is displayed, it is good also as a structure from which the lighting color of the line display part 35a changes. Further, an image display may be performed on an image panel embedded in the garage floor 36, or a colored portion colored with a color that can be distinguished from the garage floor 36 may be movable. Furthermore, it is good also as a structure by which the protrusion part which can be appeared and protrudes in the boundary part of the target parking area S or the boundary vicinity. In any configuration, the target parking area S can be taught.

  In the above embodiment, the target parking area S is displayed to the driver or the like, but may be configured to be taught to the vehicle 25. For example, when the vehicle 25 equipped with the parking assist function is the current parked vehicle 25b, a signal indicating the target parking area S is output from the garage controller 31 to the ETC in-vehicle device 52. Even in this case, the current parked vehicle 25b can be parked at an appropriate position in the garage 15.

  In the above embodiment, the size of the target parking area S is set based on the size of the vehicle 25. However, the size may be set based on the vehicle type and use of the vehicle 25. For example, when the garage controller 31 acquires information indicating that the welfare vehicle capable of getting on and off the wheelchair is the current parked vehicle 25b based on the vehicle type information included in the ETC information as the vehicle-side information. In addition, the target parking area S is set so as to secure a space around the vehicle 25 that allows a wheelchair to get on and off. As a result, the vehicle 25 can be parked at a position according to the use of the vehicle 25, and the convenience for the user can be further improved.

  A power device capable of transmitting and receiving power by being electrically connected to the vehicle 25 may be installed in the garage 15. For example, when information indicating that the current parked vehicle 25b is an electric vehicle or a hybrid vehicle is acquired by the garage controller 31 based on the vehicle-side information, target parking that enables connection between the parked vehicle 25b and the power device is possible. The area S is set. In this case, since it is possible to suppress the occurrence of inconvenience that the parked vehicle 25a becomes an obstacle and the parked vehicle 25b cannot be connected to the power device, it is possible to reliably charge the in-vehicle battery of the electric vehicle or the hybrid vehicle. Can be performed.

  -The ETC information as vehicle-side information may include user personal information as user information. For example, if the user's skill level and age with respect to vehicle driving are included in the ETC information as user information, the driving operation is relatively easy when the current parked vehicle 25b is driven by a driving beginner or an elderly person. The target parking area S can be set at a position (for example, an end portion in the garage space). Thereby, the convenience for a user can be improved further.

  In the above embodiment, the target parking area S is set based on the garage side information and the vehicle side information. However, the target parking area S may be set based on either one of the information. For example, when the same vehicle 25 is always stored in the garage 15 as the current parked vehicle 25b, even if the target parking area S is set based only on the garage side information, the vehicle 25 is at an appropriate position in the garage 15. The vehicle 25 can be parked. Further, when the situation on the garage 15 side is always the same, the vehicle 25 can be parked at an appropriate position in the garage 15 even if the target parking area S is set based only on the vehicle side information. It becomes.

  In the above embodiment, the entry / exit of the vehicle 25 is restricted by the shutter device 41, but may be restricted by the wheel stopper. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 6, a parking stop 71 provided independently of the building 10 is provided with a ring stopper 72 that can be moved in and out of the floor surface. The parking lot 71 may be a garage provided independently from the building 10.

  The wheel stopper 72 is configured to be able to transition to a protruding state and an immersive state, and restricts entry or exit of the vehicle 25 by shifting to the protruding state, and entering or retracting the vehicle 25 by shifting to the immersive state. The issue is permitted. Further, the wheel stopper 72 is connected to the garage controller 31, and the garage controller 31 controls the appearance of the wheel stopper 72. Therefore, in this case, it is possible to restrict the unregistered vehicle from entering the parking lot 71, and to restrict the parked vehicle 25 from being moved without permission. You can expect.

  -Garage side information or vehicle side information is good also as a structure acquired from a home server etc. For example, a personal computer 75 having a microcomputer including a CPU and various memories is provided as a home server, and the Internet 76 is connected to the personal computer 75. In this case, since the garage controller 31 can acquire detailed information regarding the vehicle 25 as vehicle-side information from the Internet 76, the target parking area S for the vehicle 25 can be set more finely.

  -Garage side information or vehicle side information is good also as a structure acquired from a communication satellite. For example, the ETC in-vehicle device 52 and the communication satellite 77 can communicate with each other. In this case, detailed information regarding the vehicle 25 can be acquired from the communication satellite 77 as vehicle-side information, so that the target parking area S for the vehicle 25 can be set in detail.

  A configuration may be adopted in which a parking fee is set for the vehicle 25 parked in the target parking area S. For example, the parking fee is set by the garage controller 31 according to the type and size of the vehicle 25, the parking time, and the like based on the vehicle-side information. Therefore, even when the garage 15 is used as a pay parking lot, parking charge management can be easily performed together with warehousing management. Further, since the vehicle 25 can be parked at a suitable position in the garage space, more vehicles 25 can be parked in the garage 15 by effectively utilizing the garage space. Therefore, the garage 15 as a pay parking lot can be operated efficiently.

  In the above embodiment, the vehicle 25 is configured to include the ETC in-vehicle device 52 as a communication unit, but other communication units may be mounted. In short, any configuration capable of wireless communication between the vehicle 25 side and the garage 15 side may be used.
