Description

The present invention relates to a vehicle movement restricting device, a vehicle movement restricting system, and a parking lot system, and more particularly to a technique for improving convenience for users and managers.

In recent years, many hourly parking lots have been installed mainly in urban areas. In such parking lots, parking management and charge settlement are automated, and labor saving is often achieved.For example, in a parking lot equipped with a lock-type parking device, the vehicle can be checked in the parking space and the parking time can be measured. The parking fee calculation, settlement, etc. are automated and unmanned.

In the lock-type parking device, a vehicle lock device is arranged in each parking space, and the vehicle is detected by a magnetic change by a loop coil embedded in the ground as a means for detecting the vehicle, or Various vehicle detection sensors, such as a system that detects a vehicle by infrared rays, are arranged in each parking space.

In addition, for unmanned parking lot management, it is necessary to equip an entrance gate that detects the vehicle entering the parking lot and opens and closes it, and an exit gate that opens and closes after confirming the settlement completion. A large initial investment is required for the automation and unmanned operation.

In such an unmanned parking lot, many facilities for management are installed as described above, but since there are many vehicle detection devices, etc. for each parking space, the number of them is large, so that there are regular intervals. It requires a great deal of labor and cost for various inspection checks and maintenance due to equipment troubles in use. Therefore, there is a demand for a simple parking system that requires little equipment investment and is easy to maintain.

As a method of managing the unmanned parking lot, for example, in Patent Document 1, a surveillance camera installed at a high position overlooking the entire parking lot is provided, and a vehicle enters, a vehicle space is parked, and a user enters and exits. There is disclosed a system in which the presence/absence of illegal parking outside the vehicle space is determined by image processing, and voice guidance is used to guide the driver to the parking area and remind the parking fee.
