<< 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. The premium toll collector 17 accepts the insertion of a pass ticket issued by the ticket issuing machine 14, and performs a discount process corresponding to the parking time on the inserted pass ticket. Thereby, the premium fee receiver 17 prevents the fee collector 16 from being charged twice for the parking fee for the parking time in the premium parking section 12A. The charging unit time for charging for the parking in the premium parking section 12A is longer than the charging unit time for charging for parking in the general parking section 12B and the parking section 12C for the disabled. Further, the charge amount related to parking in the general parking section 12B is obtained by multiplying the charge amount related to parking in the premium parking section 12A by the value obtained by dividing the second charge unit time by the first charge unit time. Equal to the amount of money

Specifically, the charging system by the charge receiver 16 charges 100 yen every 15 minutes (second charging unit time), for example. On the other hand, the charging system by the premium charge receiver 17 charges 400 yen every 60 minutes (first charging unit time), for example. That is, according to the present embodiment, the charged amount per 60 minutes of parking time is equal in the premium parking section 12A, the general parking section 12B, and the disabled person parking section 12C. Note that 60 minutes is a common multiple of the first charging unit time of 60 minutes and the second charging unit time of 15 minutes. On the other hand, when the parking time is less than 45 minutes, the charge amount of the premium parking section 12A is higher than the charge amounts of the general parking section 12B and the disabled person parking section 12C.
That is, even if the parking time is the same, there may occur a situation in which the charge amount for parking in the premium parking section 12A is higher than the charge amount 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.
Note that the toll collector 16 (second billing processing device) and the premium toll collector 17 (first 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 the parking fee by multiplying the specified parking time by the first charging unit time and multiplying the rounded up value by a predetermined charging amount (step S13), The parking fee is displayed 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 parking in the premium parking section 12A is completed, the premium toll collection machine 17 accepts insertion of a pass ticket issued by the ticket issuing machine 14 from the user. The premium toll collector 17 records discount information corresponding to the parking time on the inserted pass ticket, and discharges the pass ticket to the exit (step S16). Specifically, the premium toll collector 17 receives discount information on the minimum time that is equal to or greater than the parking time specified in step S12 and expressed by an integral multiple of the first billing unit time. To record. For example, when the first billing unit time is 60 minutes and the parking time is 70 minutes, the premium charge receiver 17 records discount information corresponding to 120 minutes on the pass ticket.

  Next, the premium fee receiver 17 drives the actuator of the flap plate 122 to cause the flap plate 122 to fall down (step S17). 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 S18). 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 unit billing time for charging to the premium parking section 12A in which the charger 123 is provided includes the general parking section 12B in which the charger 123 is not provided and the disabled person parking. The billing amount is longer than the billing unit billing time for parking in the section 12C, and the billing amount in the time related to the common multiple of the billing unit time of both parking sections 12 is equal. Thereby, even if the parking time is the same, the charged amount for parking in the premium parking section 12A may be higher than the charged amount for parking in the general parking section 12B and the disabled person parking 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 at the same charging rate as the general parking section 12B and the disabled person parking section 12C.
Even if the parking time is the same, the charged amount of the premium parking block 12A may be higher than the charged amount of the general parking block 12B and the disabled parking block 12C. Even when the parking lot 12C is full, there is a high possibility that the premium parking lot 12A is empty. Therefore, the premium parking section 12A guides the user who wants to park the vehicle C to the premium parking section 12A even if the parking fee may be expensive, and provides incentives such as the use of the charger 123 as the price. can do.

  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. There is a possibility that the parking fee will be higher than the parking section 12C. 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 charge amount of the premium parking section 12A and the charges of the general parking section 12B and the parking section 12C for the physically handicapped at the time related to the common multiple of the first charging unit time and the second charging unit time. The amount is equal. Therefore, the parking lot 1 can prevent the user of the parking lot 1 from being confused while suppressing the parking of the vehicle C that does not require charging to the parking section 12 in which the charger 123 is provided.

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. 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, the parking lot 1 according to the present embodiment has a possibility that the parking fee of the premium parking section 12A is higher than that of the general parking section 12B. It is possible to prevent the driver from feeling the back of the car against parking.
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, There is provided a premium toll collector 17 that charges based on a uniform charge amount for parking in the premium parking section 12A and records discount information on a pass ticket. That is, the parking lot 1 performs billing based on different billing unit times in the premium parking section 12A, the general parking section 12B, and the disabled person parking section 12C by combining the existing toll collector and discount machine. Can do.

  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 toll collection machine 17 charges based on the pass ticket issued by the ticketing machine. The commercial facility S may allow the user to receive an incentive by presenting a pass 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 an 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 divides the identified parking time by the first billing unit time and rounds up the fraction. Is multiplied by the amount charged for parking in the premium parking section 12A (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 specified identification number is the general parking section 12B (step S113: NO), the toll collector 16 divides the specified parking time by the second billing unit time and rounds up the fraction. The parking fee is calculated by multiplying the calculated value by the amount charged for parking in the general parking section 12B (step S119), and the parking fee is displayed on the display (step S120). The charge amount related to parking in the general parking section 12B is obtained by multiplying the charge amount related to parking in the premium parking section 12A by the value obtained by dividing the second charge unit time by the first charge unit time. Equal to the amount of money

  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 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 area 12C, the premium parking area 12A is also used when the general parking area 12B and the disabled person parking area 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. Examples of the parking area 12 with low convenience include a section far from the entrance of the commercial facility S, a section far from the entrance and exit of the parking lot 1, a section that is most difficult to park after entering the road, and a section that requires forward parking. Can be mentioned. This is because the parking lot 12 with low convenience is regarded as the premium parking lot 12A, and the probability that the vehicle C is parked in the premium parking lot 12A is reduced. This is because it can be a relatively high parking lot. Thereby, a user who desires charging of the electric vehicle can be considered to use the coin parking, which has a relatively high possibility that the charger 123 can be used.

Moreover, in other embodiment, it is good also considering the parking area 12 with a low past operation rate as the premium parking area 12A irrespective of the convenience which can be recognized objectively. When the toll collector 16 has a function of collecting the operation status of each parking section 12, the operator of the parking lot 1 has the lowest operation ratio in the past predetermined period based on the collected operation status. And the parking section 12 can be set as the premium parking section 12A.
That is, the operator of the parking lot 1 may use the arbitrary parking section 12 as the premium parking section 12A, and compare the decrease in convenience for existing customers and the improvement in convenience for new customers by installing the charger 123. The arrangement of the premium parking section 12A can be determined based on the above.

  Moreover, in embodiment mentioned above, as an example which shows that the convenience of premium parking area 12A is high compared with the convenience of general parking area 12B and disabled person parking area 12C, premium parking area 12A is commercial facility S. The premium parking section 12A is provided near the entrance / exit of the parking lot 1, but it is not limited to this. For example, when a roof is not provided in the general parking area 12B and the disabled person parking area 12C, the premium parking area 12A can block strong sunlight in rain and summer by providing a roof in the premium parking area 12A. Can be provided.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the first charging unit time (60 minutes) is an integral multiple of the second charging unit time (15 minutes) has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in another embodiment, the first billing unit time may not be an integer multiple of the second billing unit time. For example, the first charging unit time may be 30 minutes, and the second charging unit time may be 20 minutes. In this case, the parking fee for the general parking block 12B may be temporarily higher than the parking fee for the premium parking block 12A, such as between 20 minutes and 30 minutes, but the parking fee for the general parking block 12B is premium. Since the rate of lowering the parking fee of the parking section 12A is higher, the same effect as the above-described embodiment can be expected. If the first billing unit time is an integral multiple of the second billing unit time, and the parking time is the same, the parking fee for the general parking block 12B or the disabled parking block 12C is the premium parking block 12A. It will not be higher than the parking fee.

  Moreover, although the charger 123 which concerns on embodiment mentioned above charges the secondary battery of the vehicle C via a cable, it is not restricted to this, The charger 123 which concerns on other embodiment is what is called non-contact charge. It may be a vessel.

  Note that the above-described fee receiver 16 and premium fee receiver 17 are all implemented in a computer including a CPU, a main storage device, an auxiliary storage device, and an interface. Each operation described above is stored in the auxiliary storage device in the form of a program. The CPU reads the program from the auxiliary storage device, develops it in the main storage device, and executes the above processing according to the program.

  The program may be for realizing a part of the functions described above. Further, the program may be a so-called difference file (difference program) that realizes the above-described function in combination with another program already stored in the auxiliary storage device.
