Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention is capable of automatically managing the loading and unloading of vehicles, the calculation and collection of parking fees under the supervision of a microcomputer. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a parking lot management device, and more particularly, to a parking lot management device having a function of managing parking for a short time of about 30 minutes.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional parking lots have been managed by applying common usage conditions to all customers regardless of the length of time (parking time).

That is, the parking lot customers are roughly classified into short-time customers of about 30 minutes, standard customers of 1 to 3 hours, and long-time customers of 3 hours or more (hereinafter referred to as general users). However, conventionally, all of these customers have been parked under the same conditions of use.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, the percentage of short-time passengers among the above-mentioned various passengers is quite high, and the vehicles of these short-time passengers, which frequently repeat loading and unloading and parking, are not combined with the vehicles of general parking. As a result, there have been various problems such as congestion at the entrance, which is particularly dissatisfied with general users, and reduction in parking efficiency.

Therefore, a technical problem of the present invention is to alleviate congestion in a parking lot and improve parking efficiency by separately managing short-time passengers and general users under different usage conditions.

[Means for solving the problem]

Means taken by the present invention to solve the above technical problem are as follows.

A ticket issuing machine that issues a parking ticket that records the entry time is installed at the entrance, the parking fee is calculated at the exit based on the entry time read from the above parking ticket, and the exit when payment of this parking fee is received In a parking lot equipped with an automatic toll clearing machine that allows the vehicle to be opened by opening the gate, (1) Provide a parking space dedicated to short-term parking in the above parking lot with a separate entrance.

(2) At the entrance of the parking space, a short-term ticket issuing machine that issues a parking ticket for short-time parking recording the entry time should be installed.

(3) If the inserted parking ticket is a parking ticket for short-time parking only, the automatic fee adjustment machine installed at the exit
Free parking charge or calculation of low-priced area for short time, and when the departure time exceeds the predetermined time for short-time parking, a penalty charge higher than general charge is calculated. Providing a short-term charge settlement means.

[Action]

 The above means works as follows.

The element described in the above (1) distinguishes the parking entrance of the parking lot into a general-purpose entrance and a short-term entrance to alleviate congestion at the entrance and to secure a short-term parking space with a relatively high utilization rate. And

The elements described in (2) above are
Issue a parking ticket for a short time at the entrance to clarify the distinction from general customers.

The element described in (3) above gives preferential treatment to short-time passengers with high usage frequency and turnover rates by making the parking fee for short-time parking free or using a low-price fee for short-term parking. If you leave the car after a specified time (for example, about 30 minutes) is exceeded, you will be charged more than the general parking charge (about 2 to 3 times) as a penalty so that you can park for more than the specified time. Prevent
Allows you to increase parking efficiency.

As described above, the technical problems described above can be solved by the above means, and the above-mentioned conventional problems can be solved.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the parking lot management apparatus with a short-time dedicated parking function according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram showing an outline of a parking lot provided with a parking lot management device according to the present invention. The interior of the parking lot indicated by reference numeral 1 is a general parking space with a partition 2.
It is divided into 1A and a short-time exclusive parking space 1B.Each entrance 1m, 1ms of both parking spaces 1A and 1B is equipped with a storage management device, and both parking spaces 1A, 1B are shared. A delivery management device is provided at the mouth 1e.

In the figure, 4 and 9 are parking ticket issuing machines installed at each entrance 1 m, 1 ms, and 6 and 11 are first entrance vehicle detectors such as loop coils installed at the entrance of each entrance 1 m, 1 ms. If the detectors 6 and 11 detect a vehicle (not shown) coming in as indicated by an arrow, the detectors 6 and 11 input detection signals f1 and f4 to the ticket issuing machines 4 and 9, respectively. Based on these signals f1 and f4, 4, 9 issue parking tickets P and PS to the issuing ports 4a and 9a, respectively, and then the issued parking tickets P and PS are extracted by the customer from the issuing ports 4a and 9a. Then, the gate opening signals f2 and f5 are input to the entrance gate opening and closing switches 5 and 10 from the ticket issuing machines 4 and 9, and the entrance gate opening and closing switches 5 and 10 open the entrance gate bars 5G and 10G based on the signals f2 and f5. , It is designed to allow vehicles to enter. Also 7 and 12
Is a second entrance vehicle detector consisting of a loop coil or the like provided in the inside entrance passage of each entrance gate bar 5G, 10G, and when an incoming vehicle is detected by passing through the detectors 7, 12,
The gate closing signals f3 and f6 are output to the entrance gate switches 5 and 10 to close the entrance gate bars 5G and 10G, so that the warehousing is completed.

2A and 2B are front views of the parking tickets P and PS issued from the above ticket issuing machines 4 and 9, respectively, and among these parking tickets constructed by using magnetic cards, general parking is possible. The parking time P is issued from the ticket issuing machine 4 with a 1 m opening, and the entering time is recorded in the magnetic stripe Pm.
In the magnetic stripe Pm of the parking ticket PS issued from, the specified time (for example, 30 minutes) is recorded together with the warehousing time.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 13 denotes an automatic charge adjustment machine provided at the exit 1e of the parking lot 1. The automatic charge adjustment machine 13 is, for example, a loop coil provided inside the exit 1e. 1
When the vehicle detection signal f7 output by the exit vehicle detector 15 is transmitted and received, the parking ticket receiving opening 13a is opened to enable the insertion of the parking ticket P or PS, and the inserted parking ticket is used for normal parking. In the case of a ticket P, the storage time data recorded and displayed on the magnetic strike Pm is read, the time difference between this storage time and the current time (departure time) is calculated, and the parking charge is calculated in the standard parking charge mode. The displayed parking charge is displayed on the display, and when the customer (driver) inserts a metal corresponding to the displayed parking charge into the charge slot 13b to complete the payment, the inserted parking ticket P is inserted. While collecting inside the checkout machine, the gate opening signal f8 is output to the exit gate opening / closing device 14 to open the exit gate bar 14G, enabling the vehicle to leave.

Reference numeral 16 is a second exit vehicle detector including a loop coil or the like provided on the exit side of the exit 1e. When a vehicle exiting by opening the exit gate bar 14G is detected by passing through the detector 16, the exit is detected. A gate closing signal f9 is output to the gate opening / closing device 14 and the exit gate bar 14G is closed again, which completes the exit of the vehicle.

If a parking ticket PS for a short time is inserted into the automatic payment machine 13 at the exit 1e, the automatic payment machine calculates the parking charge cheaply in the short-time parking charge mode. Or, in special cases, it is free of charge, but it is judged whether the delivery is within the specified time by reading the specified time, and if the specified time is over, 2 more than the normal charge
The system is designed to calculate a penalty charge that is ~ 3 times higher, and display this on a display to instruct payment of the charge.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a control unit of the automatic fee settlement machine 13 configured by using a microcomputer, in which 20 is a CPU and 21 is a memory RPM storing a system program. The interface circuit 22 connected between the memory and the memory 21 has the above-mentioned first and second interfaces.
The vehicle detectors 15 and 16 are connected to the exit gate opening / closing device 14, and the clock device 23, the card detector 24, the card feeding motor 25, the card reader 26, the display 27, and the cash paid. Cash settlement device that counts and calculates change, etc. 28
Are connected, and both are configured to be controlled by the CPU 20 according to a program stored in the memory 21.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the procedure of the short-time warehousing process executed by the warehousing management device provided in the warehousing entrance 1 ms dedicated to the short time, and the second step S2
The procedure is the same as that performed at a general entrance 1m except that the short-time parking ticket PS is issued at.

Further, FIG. 5 is a flow chart for explaining the processing procedure for leaving the vehicle using the parking ticket P or PS, step S1
When it is determined that the parking ticket inserted in 4 is a general parking ticket PS, the process proceeds to step S15, the parking fee is calculated in the standard parking fee mode, but the parking ticket P for a short time is used. If it is determined that the time is within the specified time recorded in the magnetic stripe Pm, the process proceeds to step S21.
If you proceed to step 2 and a low parking charge (sometimes free) is calculated in the short-time parking charge mode, and the specified time is over, proceed to step S23 and a penalty that is 2-3 times higher than the normal charge. It is structured so that charges are calculated.

Since the processing operation in each of the other steps is the same as that of the conventional parking lot management device, the description thereof will be omitted.

〔effect〕

Since the parking lot management device with the short-time dedicated parking function according to the present invention is as described above, it is possible to park the short-time parking vehicle, which causes the congestion of the parking lot, in the dedicated parking space provided in the parking lot. In addition, since the storage entrance is divided into the general storage and the short storage, it is possible to smoothly perform the most crowded storage processing and improve the parking efficiency. If you exceed the time, you will have to pay a penalty charge, so you can prevent long-time parking at a low price and alleviate congestion, and you can take advantage of it, especially at department stores and supermarkets with many short-time customers. It is very useful for parking lots and parking lots in offices.
