Description

  The present invention relates to a parking lot having a charger capable of charging an electric vehicle or a plug-in hybrid vehicle, and a parking lot charging method.

  In recent years, electric vehicles such as electric vehicles (EV, Electric Vehicle) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHV) that are equipped with a secondary battery and run using the power stored in the secondary battery as drive energy. Has been developed. With the widespread use of electric vehicles, parking lots equipped with chargers that can charge electric vehicles are increasing. Such a parking lot collects an additional fee according to the amount of charge by the charger or the usage time of the charger in addition to the parking fee for parking in the parking area. It should be noted that due to the high cost of chargers for electric vehicles, the chargers are provided only in some of the parking lots, and the parking lots equipped with chargers are designated as parking lots with priority for electric vehicles. There are many parking lots to offer as.

  In such a parking lot, a vehicle other than an electric vehicle such as a gasoline vehicle or an electric vehicle that is not charged by a charger is parked in an electric vehicle-priority parking section, and an electric vehicle that requires charging is prioritized. There is a problem that the parking area becomes unavailable. In addition, even if the charging of the secondary battery is completed, the electric vehicle requiring charging uses the electric vehicle priority parking area so that the user does not move the electric vehicle from the electric vehicle priority parking area. The problem of being unable to do so has arisen.

  Patent Document 1 gives an incentive that a user can quickly move an electric vehicle from a parking section provided with a charger when charging to the electric vehicle is completed, thereby improving the utilization rate of the charging device. A billing system is disclosed.

JP 2010-119162 A

According to the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, it can be expected that the number of electric vehicles that do not move from the parking area including the charger after the end of charging is reduced and the utilization rate of the charging device is improved. On the other hand, even the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 cannot solve the problem that a vehicle that is not charged is parked in a parking section where electric vehicles have priority.
An object of the present invention is to provide a parking lot and a parking lot charging method capable of suppressing parking of a vehicle that does not require charging in a parking section provided with a charger.

  The first aspect is a parking lot composed of a plurality of parking sections, and includes a billing processing system that charges a billing amount according to the parking time for parking in each of the parking sections. The parking section includes a first parking section in which a charger is provided and the parked vehicle can be charged by the charger, and a second parking section in which the charger is not provided. The first charge amount, which is the charge amount per unit time for parking in the first parking section, is greater than the second charge amount, which is the charge amount per unit time for parking in the second parking section. It is a high parking lot.

  Further, the second aspect is the first aspect, in which the billing processing system is parked in the first parking section regardless of whether or not the charger provided in the first parking section is used. In contrast, the parking lot is charged based on the first charge amount.

  Moreover, the 3rd aspect is a parking lot in which the convenience of the said 1st parking area is higher than the convenience of the said 2nd parking area in the 1st or 2nd aspect.

  Moreover, a 4th aspect WHEREIN: In any one of the 1st-3rd aspect, the said charge processing system is uniform with respect to the parking to the said 1st parking area, and the parking to the said 2nd parking area. A first billing processing device that performs billing based on the second billing amount, and a billing amount that is the difference between the first billing amount and the second billing amount for parking in the first parking area And a second billing processing device that performs billing based on.

  In addition, in any one of the first to fourth aspects, a fifth aspect includes a parking sensor that is provided in each of the first parking sections and detects whether or not parking is performed in the first parking section, When parking in the first parking section is detected by the parking sensor, power supply to the charger provided in the first parking section is started, and the first parking section is started by the billing processing system. This is a parking lot provided with an electric supply control device that stops the electric supply to the charger provided in the first parking section when charging for parking is performed.

  Moreover, a 6th aspect is provided with the charger, the 1st parking area which can charge with the said charger with respect to the parked vehicle, and the 2nd parking area where the charger is not provided The first billing amount, which is a billing amount per unit time for parking in the first parking section, is transferred to the second parking section. This is a charging method for a parking lot higher than a second charging amount which is a charging amount per unit time for parking.

  According to at least one aspect of the above aspects, by making the charge amount for parking in the parking area where the charger is provided higher than the charge amount for parking in the parking area where the charger is not provided, A user who does not plan to charge a vehicle can be repelled from parking in a parking area where a charger is provided. In addition, since the charging for parking in the parking area is based on the charging amount per hour, the user of the electric vehicle who has completed the charging of the secondary battery is prevented from continuing parking in the parking area. be able to. Thereby, the parking of the vehicle which does not require the charge to the parking area in which the charger is provided can be suppressed.

<< First Embodiment >>
Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a bird's-eye view showing an appearance of a parking lot 1 according to the first embodiment.
The parking lot 1 according to the first embodiment is annexed to the commercial facility S. The parking lot 1 includes a bollard 11 that surrounds the outer periphery excluding the entrance and exit, an entrance-side circuit breaker 13 and a ticketing machine 14 provided at the entrance, an exit-side circuit breaker 15 and a toll collector 16 provided at the exit, And a plurality of parking sections 12 provided in an area surrounded by the bollard 11.

  The bollards 11 are pile-shaped obstacles that prevent the vehicle C from entering the parking lot 1 by being arranged at regular intervals. The bollards 11 are installed at intervals that are narrower than the width of the vehicle C and wider than the width that a pedestrian can pass. Thereby, the vehicle C needs to enter from the entrance of the parking lot 1 and exit from the exit, while the user who gets off the vehicle C can enter and exit the parking lot 1 from any place.

The entrance-side circuit breaker 13 is used for the purpose of preventing the driver of the vehicle C entering the entrance passage of the parking lot 1 from starting the vehicle C until it obtains the pass ticket issued from the ticket issuing machine 14. Open and close.
The ticket issuing machine 14 issues a pass ticket when the driver of the vehicle C presses a button. The ticket issuing time is recorded in the pass ticket issued by the ticket issuing machine.
The exit-side circuit breaker 15 opens and closes the gate for the purpose of preventing the driver of the vehicle C entering the exit passage of the parking lot 1 from starting the vehicle C until the toll collector 16 pays a fee. Do.
The toll collection device 16 accepts insertion of a pass ticket, and charges a charge amount according to the parking time based on the ticketing time recorded in the inserted pass ticket. In other words, the toll collector 16 charges a charge amount corresponding to the parking time for parking in the parking section 12 in the parking lot 1.

  The parking section 12 is a section in the area of the parking lot 1, and a white line indicating a position where the vehicle C should be parked is drawn. The parking section 12 of the parking lot 1 according to the present embodiment includes three types of sections, a premium parking section 12A, a general parking section 12B, and a disabled person parking section 12C.

  The premium parking section 12A is a section provided relatively near the entrance of the commercial facility as compared with the general parking section 12B and the disabled person parking section 12C. That is, regardless of whether or not the vehicle C is an electric vehicle, the convenience of the premium parking section 12A is relatively high compared to the convenience of the general parking section 12B and the disabled person parking section 12C. It has become. Each premium parking section 12A is provided with a parking sensor 121, a flap plate 122, and a charger 123. The premium parking section 12A is an example of a first parking section in which a charger 123 is provided and the parked vehicle C can be charged by the charger 123.

The parking sensor 121 is a sensor that detects the presence or absence of parking in the premium parking section 12A. For example, the parking sensor 121 is realized by a magnetic sensor embedded under the floor of the premium parking section 12A.
The flap plate 122 prevents the vehicle C from exiting the premium parking section 12A by standing, and allows the vehicle C to exit from the premium parking section 12A by lying down.
The charger 123 is connected to the vehicle C via a predetermined cable, thereby supplying electric power for charging the secondary battery of the vehicle C.

  On the other hand, in the general parking section 12B and the disabled person parking section 12C, only a white line indicating the position where the vehicle C should be parked is drawn on the outer frame, and devices such as the charger 123 are installed. Not. The general parking section 12 </ b> B and the disabled person parking section 12 </ b> C are examples of a second parking section in which the charger 123 is not provided. The disabled person parking section 12C is wider than the general parking section 12B.

In the vicinity of the premium parking section 12A in the parking lot 1, a premium toll collector 17 is provided. The premium fee receiver 17 charges a charge amount corresponding to the parking time for parking in the premium parking section 12A. That is, for the parking in the premium parking section 12 </ b> A, charging is performed by the two toll receivers, the toll receiver 16 and the premium toll receiver 17. That is, the charged amount per unit time for parking in the premium parking section 12A is higher than the charged amount per unit time for parking in the general parking section 12B and the disabled person parking section 12C. This is because parking in the premium parking section 12A facilitates reciprocation with the commercial facility S and generates an incentive to charge the secondary battery of the vehicle C using the charger 123.
Specifically, when the charge amount by the toll collector 16 is, for example, 200 yen per hour, and the charge amount by the premium toll receiver 17 is, for example, 100 yen per hour, the parking lot 12B or for the physically disabled The amount charged when parking in the parking area 12C is 200 yen per hour (second amount), whereas the amount charged when parking in the premium parking area 12A is 300 yen per hour (first Billing amount). That is, the premium charge receiver 17 charges based on the charge amount that is the difference between the first charge amount and the second charge amount.
It should be noted that the toll collector 16 (first billing processing device) and the premium toll collector 17 (second billing processing device) according to the present embodiment respond to parking in each parking section 12 according to the parking time. This is a component of a billing processing system that charges a billed amount.

  Note that the premium fee receiver 17 charges based on a uniform charge amount for parking in the premium parking section 12A regardless of whether or not the charger 123 provided in the premium parking section 12A is used. That is, the premium fee receiver 17 does not charge an additional fee for using the charger 123. That is, the user of the vehicle C parked in the premium parking section 12A can charge the secondary battery of the vehicle C free of charge.

The premium fee receiver 17 controls the flap plate 122 and the charger 123 provided in the premium parking section 12A in addition to charging for parking in the premium parking section 12A. That is, the premium fee receiver 17 is an example of an electric supply control device that controls electric supply to the charger 123.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the premium toll collector 17 according to the first embodiment when the vehicle C parks in the premium parking section 12A.
When the vehicle C parks in the premium parking section 12A, the parking sensor 121 detects the parking of the vehicle C. Upon receiving sensor information indicating that the parking of the vehicle C has been detected from the parking sensor 121 (step S1), the premium toll collector 17 specifies the identification number of the premium parking section 12A in which the parking sensor 121 is provided ( Step S2).

  Next, the premium fee receiver 17 drives the actuator of the flap plate 122 provided in the premium parking section 12A indicated by the identified identification number, and raises the flap plate 122 (step S3). Thereby, the flap board 122 can prevent the vehicle C from leaving the premium parking section 12A. Further, the premium fee receiver 17 stores the current time in association with the identification number specified in the internal memory (step S4).

  Next, the premium fee receiver 17 starts supplying power to the charger 123 provided in the premium parking section 12A indicated by the identified identification number (step S5). For example, the premium fee receiver 17 sends electricity to the charger 123 by sending a signal to a relay installed in a distribution board that supplies power to the charger 123. Thereby, the user of the vehicle C parked in the premium parking section 12A can perform charging using the charger 123 provided in the premium parking section 12A in which the parking sensor 121 detects parking. In addition, when the premium toll receiver 17 detects parking in the premium parking section 12A in this way, the charger 123 supplies power to the charger 123, so that the charger 123 can park the general parking section 12B or the disabled person parking. It can prevent being used by the user of the vehicle C parked in the section 12C.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the premium toll collector 17 according to the first embodiment when the vehicle C leaves the premium parking section 12A.
When the vehicle C is withdrawn from the premium parking section 12A, the user inputs the identification number of the premium parking section 12A with which the vehicle C is withdrawn into the premium charge receiver 17. The identification number of the premium parking section 12A is written with a white line on the ground of the premium parking section 12A, for example. Upon receiving the input of the identification number (step S11), the premium fee receiver 17 specifies the parking time in the premium parking section 12A by subtracting the current time from the time recorded in the internal memory in association with the identification number. (Step S12). Next, the premium fee receiver 17 calculates a parking fee by multiplying the specified parking time by a predetermined charge amount (step S13), and displays the parking fee on the display (step S14).

  Next, the premium fee receiver 17 waits for payment of the displayed parking fee (step S15). The parking fee may be paid by cash, or by a credit card, prepaid card or other card. When the charge for the parking in the premium parking section 12A is completed, the premium fee receiver 17 drives the actuator of the flap plate 122 to cause the flap plate 122 to fall (step S16). As a result, the flap plate 122 allows the vehicle C to leave the premium parking section 12A.

  Next, the premium fee receiver 17 stops the power supply to the charger 123 provided in the premium parking section 12A where the parking sensor 121 detects parking (step S17). For example, the premium toll collector 17 sends a signal to a relay installed in a distribution board that supplies power to the charger 123 to prevent electricity from flowing to the charger 123. As a result, charging using the charger 123 cannot be performed. Thus, by stopping the power supply to the charger 123 after the charging by the premium toll collector 17 is completed, it is possible to prevent the vehicle C from being continuously charged even after the parking is over. .

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the charged amount per hour for parking in the premium parking section 12A in which the charger 123 is provided is the general parking section 12B in which the charger 123 is not provided and the disabled person parking. It is higher than the charge per unit time for parking in the section 12C. Thereby, the user who does not plan to charge the vehicle C can avoid parking in the premium parking section 12A. On the other hand, a user who wants to charge the vehicle C can charge the vehicle C by paying a slightly higher fee. The difference between the amount charged per hour for parking in the premium parking area 12A and the amount charged per unit time for parking in the general parking area 12B and the parking area 12C for the physically handicapped is charged by the charger 123. When the charge electricity charge per unit time is set to the same amount, paying the premium charge receiver 17 is substantially equivalent to paying the charge electricity charge by the charger 123.
Further, since the charged amount of the premium parking section 12A is higher than the charged amount of the general parking section 12B and the disabled person parking section 12C, the premium parking is also performed when the general parking section 12B and the disabled person parking section 12C are full. There is a high possibility that the section 12A is empty. Therefore, the premium parking section 12A can guide a user who wants to park the vehicle C to the premium parking section 12A even if paying a high fee, and can provide incentives such as use of the charger 123 as the price.

  Further, since the charging for the parking in the premium parking section 12A is made based on the charging amount per hour, the user of the electric vehicle who has finished charging the secondary battery of the vehicle C is charged to the premium parking section 12A. The continuation of parking can be avoided. That is, when the vehicle C is continuously parked in the premium parking section 12A even after the charging to the secondary battery is completed, the general parking section 12B and the physically disabled person are used even though the secondary battery is not charged. Parking charges higher than the parking section 12C are continuously generated. Therefore, when the user parks the vehicle C in the premium parking section 12A only for the purpose of charging the secondary battery of the vehicle C, the vehicle C is transferred to the general parking section 12B or the disabled person parking section 12C. Can be considered.

In addition, according to the present embodiment, the premium toll receiver 17 has a uniform charge amount for parking in the premium parking section 12A regardless of whether or not the charger 123 provided in the premium parking section 12A is used. Charge based on. That is, the user of the premium parking section 12A can use the charger 123 free of charge. The ability to charge the secondary battery of the vehicle C using the charger 123 is an incentive obtained as a price by paying the use fee of the premium parking section 12A. Thereby, the parking lot 1 which concerns on this embodiment can prevent that the user of vehicles C other than an electric vehicle asks for parking to premium parking section 12A because the charger 123 exists. That is, in the parking lot 1 according to this embodiment, the user of the vehicle C other than the electric vehicle parks in the premium parking section 12A because the premium parking section 12A has a higher charge than the general parking section 12B. On the other hand, it is possible to prevent the user from feeling back.
In parking lots that charge according to the usage time and power consumption of the charger, if there is a vacancy in the parking area where the charger is installed and there is no vacancy in the general parking area, other than electric vehicles A problem arises in that the usage rate of the parking section is reduced when the user of the vehicle asks for parking in the parking section with priority on the electric vehicle.

  Further, the premium parking section 12A according to the present embodiment is provided relatively near the entrance of the commercial facility S as compared to the general parking section 12B and the disabled person parking section 12C. That is, the convenience of the premium parking section 12A is higher than the convenience of the general parking section 12B and the disabled person parking section 12C. Thereby, not only the user of an electric vehicle but the user of vehicles C other than an electric vehicle can enjoy the incentive by parking in premium parking section 12A.

  In addition, the parking lot 1 according to the present embodiment includes a toll collection device 16 that performs charging based on a uniform charge amount for parking in the premium parking section 12A, the general parking section 12B, and the disabled person parking section 12C, And a premium toll collector 17 that performs charging based on a uniform charging amount for parking in the premium parking section 12A. That is, the parking lot 1 can charge based on another charge amount with the premium parking section 12A, the general parking section 12B, and the disabled person parking section 12C by combining existing toll collectors.

  In addition, although the parking lot 1 which concerns on this embodiment charges also with respect to parking to the general parking division 12B and the parking lot 12C for physically disabled people, it is not restricted to this. For example, the parking lot 1 according to another embodiment does not include the entrance-side circuit breaker 13, the ticket-issuing machine 14, the exit-side circuit breaker 15, and the toll collector 16, and parking in the general parking section 12B and the disabled person parking section 12C The charge may be free.

  Moreover, although the parking lot 1 which concerns on this embodiment prevents the exit from the premium parking division 12A of the vehicle C by providing the flap board 122 in 12A of premium parking divisions, it is not restricted to this. For example, the parking lot 1 according to another embodiment may be provided with a circuit breaker at the entrance and exit of the premium parking section 12A to prevent exit from the premium parking section 12A. In this case, the parking lot 1 includes a ticketing machine at the entrance of the premium parking section 12A, and the premium fee collection machine 17 charges based on the parking ticket issued by the ticketing machine. The commercial facility S may allow the user to receive an incentive by presenting a parking ticket issued by parking in the premium parking section 12A. Examples of incentives include extending the parking free time by 1 hour when the user purchases over 3000 yen, and presenting a 500 yen voucher when the user purchases over 10,000 yen. Etc.

<< Second Embodiment >>
FIG. 4 is a bird's-eye view showing the appearance of the parking lot 1 according to the second embodiment.
The parking lot 1 according to the second embodiment is a coin parking lot. The parking lot 1 includes a fence 18 that surrounds an outer periphery excluding an entrance and an exit, a plurality of parking sections 12 provided in an area surrounded by the fence 18, and a charge receiver 16 that charges for parking in the parking section. Is provided. The fence 18 is a pile-shaped obstacle that prevents the vehicle C from entering the parking lot 1. In addition, the fence 18 does not need to be able to pass a user like the bollard 11 which concerns on 1st Embodiment.

  The parking lot 1 according to the present embodiment does not include the premium toll collector 17 provided in the parking lot 1 according to the first embodiment. That is, the parking lot 1 according to the present embodiment charges the premium parking section 12A and the general parking section 12B with one toll collector 16.

  The parking section 12 is a section in the area of the parking lot 1, and a white line indicating a position where the vehicle C should be parked is drawn. The parking section 12 of the parking lot 1 according to the present embodiment is composed of two types of sections, a premium parking section 12A and a general parking section 12B. The parking section 12 according to the present embodiment includes a parking sensor 121 and a flap plate 122 regardless of whether the parking section 12 is a premium parking section 12A or a general parking section 12B.

Two premium parking sections 12 </ b> A are provided in the parking lot 1. Each premium parking section 12A is a section provided on the most entrance / exit side among the parking sections 12 included in the parking lot 1. Since the passage of the parking lot 1 extends in the depth direction, the parking section 12 near the entrance / exit is a section where the vehicle C can be easily turned back, and the number of steps that the user should walk in order to enter and exit the parking lot 1 It is a section that requires less. Moreover, the toll collector 16 according to the present embodiment is provided in the vicinity of the premium parking section 12A. That is, regardless of whether or not the vehicle C is an electric vehicle, the convenience of the premium parking section 12A is relatively high compared to the convenience of the general parking section 12B. In addition to the parking sensor 121 and the flap plate 122, a charger 123 is provided in the premium parking section 12A.
While the parking sensor 121 and the flap plate 122 are provided in the general parking section 12B, the charger 123 is not provided.

Here, the operation of the charge receiver 16 according to the present embodiment will be described.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of the toll collector 16 according to the second embodiment when the vehicle C is parked in the parking section 12.
When the vehicle C parks in the parking section 12, the parking sensor 121 detects the parking of the vehicle C. When the toll collector 16 receives sensor information indicating that the parking of the vehicle C has been detected from the parking sensor 121 (step S101), it identifies the identification number of the parking section 12 in which the parking sensor 121 is provided (step S102). ).

  Next, the toll collector 16 drives the actuator of the flap plate 122 provided in the parking section 12 indicated by the identified identification number, and raises the flap plate 122 (step S103). The fee receiver 16 stores the current time in association with the identification number specified in the internal memory (step S104).

  Next, the toll collector 16 determines whether or not the parking section 12 indicated by the identified identification number is a premium parking section 12A (step S105). Note that which identification number indicates the premium parking section 12A is recorded in advance in a non-volatile memory inside the toll collector 16. When the parking section 12 indicated by the identified identification number is not the premium parking section 12A (step S105: NO), the toll collector 16 ends the process. On the other hand, when the parking section 12 indicated by the identified identification number is the premium parking section 12A (step S105: YES), the premium toll collector 17 starts supplying power to the charger 123 (step S106).

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the toll collector 16 according to the second embodiment when the vehicle C leaves the parking section 12.
When the vehicle C is withdrawn from the parking section 12, the user inputs the identification number of the parking section 12 with which the vehicle C is withdrawn into the toll collector 16. The identification number of the parking section 12 is described with a white line on the ground of the parking section 12, for example. Upon receiving the input of the identification number (step S111), the toll collector 16 specifies the parking time in the parking section 12 by subtracting the current time from the time recorded in the internal memory in association with the identification number ( Step S112).

  Next, the toll collector 16 determines whether or not the parking section 12 indicated by the identified identification number is a premium parking section 12A (step S113). When the parking area 12 indicated by the identified identification number is the premium parking area 12A (step S113: YES), the toll collector 16 multiplies the specified parking time by the amount charged for parking in the premium parking area 12A. The parking fee is calculated (step S114), and the parking fee is displayed on the display (step S115).

  Next, the fee receiver 16 waits for payment of the displayed parking fee (step S116). Upon completion of charging for parking in the premium parking section 12A, the toll collector 16 drives the actuator of the flap plate 122 to cause the flap plate 122 to fall down (step S117). Then, the toll collector 16 stops the power supply to the charger 123 (step S118).

  On the other hand, when the parking section 12 indicated by the identified identification number is the general parking section 12B (step S113: NO), the toll collector 16 multiplies the specified parking time by the charge amount for parking in the general parking section 12B. Thus, the parking fee is calculated (step S119), and the parking fee is displayed on the display (step S120). Note that the amount charged for parking in the general parking section 12B is lower than the amount charged for parking in the premium parking section 12A.

  Next, the fee receiver 16 waits for payment of the displayed parking fee (step S121). Upon completion of charging for parking in the general parking section 12B, the toll collector 16 drives the actuator of the flap plate 122 and causes the flap plate 122 to fall down (step S122).

  Thus, according to the parking lot 1 according to the present embodiment, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be achieved without providing the premium toll collector 17.

As described above, the embodiment has been described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to that described above, and various design changes and the like can be made.
For example, the premium parking section 12A according to the above-described embodiment is provided in a location that is more convenient than the general parking section 12B and the disabled person parking section 12C, but is not limited thereto. That is, the premium parking section 12A according to another embodiment may be provided in a place where the convenience is the same as the general parking section 12B or the disabled person parking section 12C or in a place where the convenience is low. Since the charge amount of the premium parking section 12A is higher than the charge amount of the general parking section 12B and the disabled person parking section 12C, the premium parking section 12A is also used when the general parking section 12B and the disabled person parking section 12C are full. There is a high possibility that there is an empty space. Therefore, the premium parking section 12A can provide the user with an incentive that the vehicle C can be parked even when the general parking section 12B and the disabled person parking section 12C are full.
In particular, in a coin parking provided in an area where a plurality of coin parkings are present and a coin parking with a low operation rate, the charged amount of the most convenient parking section 12 is compared with the charged amount of other parking sections 12. If it is high, the user may consider using another coin parking for that reason. In such coin parking, there is a possibility that the parking of the electric vehicle can be attracted by making the parking section 12 with low convenience as the premium parking section 12A.
