  Then, the congestion degree calculation unit 177a of the parking lot terminal 170a calculates the vacancy number of the parking lot 200a based on the received data (S109). In the case of this example, since one vehicle has entered the parking lot 200a, “1” is subtracted from the empty number of the parking lot 200a. Then, the congestion degree calculation unit 177a sends data indicating the calculated empty number of the parking lot 200a to the congestion degree data transmission unit 178a.

  And the congestion degree data transmission part 178a of the parking lot terminal 170a transmits the data which show the empty number of the parking lot 200a to the server 110 (S110). Then, the congestion degree data receiving unit 115 of the server 110 stores the received data indicating the empty number of the parking lot 200a in the parking lot data storage unit 112.

  Then, the congestion degree data distribution unit 116 of the server 110 distributes data indicating the number of empty parking lots 200a to the parking lot terminals 170a to 170d (S111). Then, the congestion degree data receiving unit 179 of each parking lot terminal 170a to 170d stores data indicating the number of empty parking lots 200a received from the server 110 in the parking lot data storage unit 172.

  Thus, in the parking lot utilization management system 100, when the grouped parking lot 200 is used for the first time, a parking ticket is issued by the ticket issuing machine 103 when entering the parking lot 200.

  FIG. 14 shows an example of an operation sequence of the server 110, the DSRC exit roadside controller 150a, and the parking lot terminal 170a. In the description of this operation sequence, both FIGS. 1 to 12 are referred to.

(S203), the data is sent to the vehicle identification data determination unit 156a and the vehicle identification data transmission unit 160a.

  The vehicle identification data determination unit 156a of the DSRC exit roadside controller 150a matches the vehicle-mounted device ID “C0415” received from the vehicle identification data acquisition unit 155a in the vehicle-mounted device ID stored in the vehicle data storage unit 151a. It is determined whether there is something to be performed (S204). In the case of this example, none of the vehicle-mounted device IDs stored in the vehicle data storage unit 151a matches the vehicle-mounted device ID “C0415” received from the vehicle identification data acquisition unit 155a. Therefore, the vehicle identification data determination unit 156a sends data indicating the determination result that there is no match to the usage control unit 157a.

  Then, the usage controller 157a of the DSRC exit roadside controller 150a controls the settlement machine 107a so as to prompt payment of the parking fee (S205). In this way, the checkout machine 107a uses only the parking lot 200a, uses each of the grouped parking lots 200a to 200d, or prompts the user to select a method of using the parking lot 200.

Further, when the vehicle data receiving unit 175 of the parking lot terminals 170a to 170d receives the vehicle-mounted device ID “C0415” and the parking lot ID “200a” of the parking lot from the server 110, these data are stored in the vehicle data. Stored in the unit 171.

  On the other hand, when receiving the vehicle-mounted device ID “C0415” from the DSRC exit roadside controller 150a, the vehicle identification data receiving unit 182a of the parking lot terminal 170a sends the data to the parking lot selecting unit 183a. And the parking lot selection part 183a of the parking lot terminal 170a specifies the record of onboard equipment ID data which corresponds with onboard equipment ID "C0415" among the records stored in the vehicle data storage part 171a. And the parking lot selection part 183a selects parking lots 200 other than the parking lot 200 identified by the parking lot ID data of the parking lot 200 stored in the specified record among the grouped parking lots 200a to 200d. Select (S314). In the case of this example, only the parking lot ID “200a” is stored in the vehicle data storage unit 171a. Therefore, the parking lot selection unit 183a selects one of the grouped parking lots 200b to 200d.

  For example, when selecting the parking lot 200, the parking lot selection unit 183a selects based on the degree of congestion of each parking lot 200 indicated by the data stored in the parking lot data storage unit 172a. In the case of this example, referring to FIG. 11, the parking lot data storage unit 172 a has a parking lot ID “200b” empty number “4”, a parking lot ID “200c” empty number “33”, and a parking lot ID. The empty number “0” of “200d” is stored. Therefore, if the parking lot selection unit 183a selects the parking lot 200 based on the degree of congestion of each parking lot 200, the parking lot 200c with the parking lot ID “200c” having the largest number of empty spaces is selected.

  Further, for example, the parking lot selection unit 183a selects the parking lot 200 based on the road traffic information indicated by the data stored in the road traffic information data storage unit 173a. Specifically, the parking lot selection unit 183a selects the parking lot 200 where the road to the parking lot 200 is as congested as possible.

  In addition, for example, when the parking lot selection unit 183a selects the parking lot 200, the parking lot selection unit 183a is arranged in the order in which each of the grouped parking lots 200a to 200d indicated by the data stored in the parking lot data storage unit 172a is to be visited. Select based on. In the case of this example, referring to FIG. 11, the parking lot data storage unit 172a includes a circulation order “2” of the parking lot ID “200b”, a circulation order “4” of the parking lot ID “200c”, and a parking lot ID. The circulation order “3” of “200d” is stored. Therefore, if the parking lot selection unit 183a selects the parking lot 200 based on the order in which the grouped parking lots 200a to 200d are to be visited, the order in which the parking lot is to be visited is the parking lot ID “200b”. The parking lot 200b will be selected.

  In addition, for example, the parking lot selection unit 183a may select the parking lot 200 based on two or more conditions among these conditions. In this example, it is assumed that the parking lot selection unit 183a has selected the parking lot 200b with the parking lot ID “200b”. Then, the parking lot selection unit 183a sends the parking lot ID “200b” of the selected parking lot 200b to the guidance data generation unit 184a.

  And the guidance data generation part 184a of the parking lot terminal 170a produces | generates the data which show the guidance to the selected parking lot 200b based on the map data stored in the map data storage part 174a (S315). And the guidance data production | generation part 184a outputs the data which show the produced | generated guidance to the parking lot 200b to the guidance data output part 185a.

  And the guidance data output part 185a of the parking lot terminal 170a outputs the data which show the guidance to the parking lot 200b to the display 109a. In this way, the display 109a displays a display that prompts the passenger of the vehicle with the vehicle-mounted device ID “C0415” to go to the parking lot 200b and a map that shows the route from the parking lot 200a to the parking lot 200b. Will be.

  Thus, in the parking lot utilization management system 100, when using the grouped parking lots 200 for the first time, the grouped parking lots 200a to 200d are used when entering the parking lots 200. When the parking fee is settled, guidance to the next parking lot 200 to be headed is displayed on the display 109 provided at the exit of the parking lot 200.
