Description

The present invention relates to a roadside parking system for managing a vehicle parked in a roadside parking area having a limited parking time and a method for controlling the roadside parking system.

In order to meet the demand for short-time parking, the road section designated by road signs and the like to be the section of the road on which the same vehicle can continue to be parked for a limited time is called a "time-limited parking section". Conventionally, a parking meter and a parking ticket issuing facility are provided in order to enable proper parking in a time-limited parking section.

When using the parking meter or the parking ticket issuing facility, the user parks in the frame, pays the fee (parking fee) first, and then moves the vehicle within the time limit, for example, within 60 minutes. In the case of a parking ticket issuing facility, a user receives a ticket (parking ticket) when paying a fee and presents it in front of the vehicle.

Up until now, parking meters and parking ticket issuing facilities basically pay parking fees (fees) first, but since they are managed unattended, parking was possible without paying parking fees. In order to solve such a problem, in Patent Document 1, a charge settlement unit reads and writes a contactless card according to an instruction from a parking time management unit and performs a parking charge settlement by a contactless card processing unit. The parking meter for pay parking on the road characterized in that the detection unit is provided with a transmission unit that emits a signal to a vehicle that has entered and a reception unit that receives the signal reflected by the vehicle and outputs a detection signal. Is proposed.

JP-A-2002-32801

However, in the conventional parking meters and parking ticket issuing facilities, since the charge is settled by the contactless card, the user needs to purchase the contactless card in advance. At present, the parking meters mainly installed in Japan are of a coin insertion type, and the parking ticket issuing facility is also a coin insertion type and/or a bill insertion type, which is settled by cash. Therefore, even if the user purchases the non-contact type card, it cannot be used unless it is a device such as a parking meter corresponding to the purchase.

In addition, since prepayment is a prerequisite, if you have an urgent business you cannot leave the vehicle immediately after parking, and if you do not have coins, you can use a parking meter or parking ticket issuing facility with only a coin slot. It is inconvenient because you need to exchange money. In addition, when the parking ticket issuing facility is crowded, it takes time to issue the ticket, so the device that detects the parking and measures the parking time from that will shorten the available parking time. There's a problem. Furthermore, even if a parking supervisor finds a vehicle parked without paying in advance, he cannot crack down until the time limit expires.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a road parking system and a method for controlling the road parking system that enhance the convenience of the user.

The on-street parking system according to claim 1 is a control means for controlling parking information of a vehicle, an input means for inputting usage information, a ticket printing means for printing a ticket, and a parking fee for depositing. The depositing means is provided, and the post-payment is input to the inputting means, the control means issues a command to the ticket printing means based on the usage information from the inputting means, the ticket printing means prints the ticket, and the depositing means pays the parking fee. Characterized by depositing.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a road parking system in which after inputting post-payment to the input means, the vehicle number is input to the input means.

In the method for controlling the on-street parking system according to claim 3, the user inputs the postpay to the input means for inputting the use information, and the control means for controlling the parking information of the vehicle is used from the input means. It is characterized in that a command is issued to the ticket printing means based on the information, the ticket printing means prints the ticket, and the user deposits the parking fee into the depositing means.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for controlling an on-street parking system, wherein after inputting postpay to the input means, the vehicle number is input to the input means.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a roadside parking system and a method of controlling the roadside parking system, which enhances user convenience.

It is explanatory drawing which shows the 1st Example of the road parking system which concerns on this invention.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing a first embodiment of a road parking system according to the present invention.

The on-street parking system 1 is for managing a vehicle parked in a parking area on the road, and includes a control unit 2, an input unit 3, a ticket printing unit 4, and a depositing unit 5. The on-street parking system 1 is included in a device such as a parking ticket issuing facility and a parking meter (hereinafter referred to as “device”). In the case of a parking meter, the ticket printing means 4 may be provided, but instead of the ticket printing means 4, a means for displaying on the device that the payment is postpaid may be provided.

The control means 2 is means for controlling the parking information of the vehicle parked in the parking area on the road. The parking information is, for example, usage information from the input unit 3, payment information of the parking charge from the depositing unit 5, a vehicle from a detecting unit (not shown) that detects that the vehicle is parked in a parking area on the road. Detection information, parking time measurement information from a measuring means (not shown) that measures the parking time of the vehicle, and other peripheral information from sensors and cameras are considered.

The input unit 3 is a unit for inputting usage information. The input means 3 is, for example, an input button for “postpayment”, a ten-key pad for inputting a numerical value, or the like, and is provided on a panel portion or the like of the apparatus. The usage information includes selection of prepaid or postpaid, the vehicle number of the user, the parking position number, and the like.

The ticket printing unit 4 is a unit for receiving a command from the control unit 2 and printing a ticket (parking ticket). Then, the user takes out the printed ticket from the ticket taking-out port provided in the device, returns to the vehicle, and presents the ticket. Note that the ticket may be different in not only the print content but also the design, color, shape, etc. of the ticket depending on whether the parking fee is paid in advance or after payment. In that case, it is possible to judge at a glance whether it is prepaid or postpaid.

The depositing means 5 is a means for depositing a parking fee (commission). The user deposits into the depositing means 5 to settle the parking fee. The depositing means 5 may correspond to not only coins and/or banknotes but also credit cards, electronic money, service tickets, commuter tickets, and the like.

In the on-street parking system 1 of the present embodiment, the user can select whether the parking fee is to be paid in advance or to be paid later. The on-street parking system 1 may be dedicated to postpayment.

If "prepayment" is selected and either prepaid or postpaid can be selected, the user first deposits the parking fee in the depositing means 5. Then, the control means 2 receives the deposit information from the deposit means 5.
On the other hand, in the case of “postpay”, the user inputs “postpay” using the input means 3. Based on the usage information including the information "deferred payment" from the input means 3, the control means 2 issues a command to the ticket printing means 4 to print the ticket. Then, the ticket printing unit 4 prints the date, warehousing time, end time, vehicle number, "postpayment", etc. on the ticket, and the user returns to the vehicle and presents the printed ticket to the vehicle. .. Then, the user who has left the vehicle once deposits the parking fee into the deposit means 5 before returning and moving the vehicle, and the control means 2 receives the deposit information from the deposit means 5.

According to the on-street parking system 1 having such a configuration, the user can postpay, so that it is possible to park the vehicle in the time-limited parking section and immediately leave the place, and a change or service ticket is required. In this case, it is possible to have time to prepare and improve convenience.

Further, if the user inputs the postpay with the input means 3 and then inputs the user's vehicle number with the input means 3, it is possible to prevent the parking fee from being unpaid even if the payment is postpaid. Sexuality increases.

The present invention allows various embodiments and modifications without departing from the broad spirit and scope of the present invention. Further, the above-described embodiments are for explaining the present invention and do not limit the scope of the present invention. That is, the scope of the present invention is shown not by the embodiments but by the claims. Various modifications made within the scope of the claims and the scope of the invention equivalent thereto are considered to be within the scope of the present invention.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a roadside parking system and a method of controlling the roadside parking system that enhances the convenience of the user.
