2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, due to an increase in the number of vehicles, a lack of a parking space on a parking lot or a parking permit road has become apparent in a central area of a city, and illegal road parking that hinders road traffic has become remarkable. It has increased. Such illegal parking may hinder emergency services or infringe on the right of life to nearby residents, and may cause vehicle contact, collision,
Rear-end collisions occur frequently. In addition, the loss and human damage related to vehicle repair, troubles in paying insurance money, and the like have increased, which has become a social problem. In order to deal with this, illegal parking crackdowns and enlightenment of vehicle users have been carried out, but the actual situation has not been improved.

[0003]

As described above, one of the causes of an increase in illegal parking in a central area of a city or the like is that there is a shortage of a parking space or a lack of vehicle parking space on a parking permit road. As a matter of fact, one of the causes is that they are not sufficiently utilized.
That is, it is extremely difficult for a vehicle driver to find an empty vehicle parking space during the traveling process. Of course, along with the main road, there is an information panel indicating whether the main parking lot is empty or full, but since this information panel is not necessarily installed near the main parking lot, there is available information. When you arrive at the parking lot, it may already be full. Also, it is very difficult for the driver to check the information panel while traveling at a relatively high speed. On the other hand, whether or not there is a vacancy in the vehicle parking space on the parking permitted road cannot be determined unless the vehicle arrives at the site.

[0004] As described above, the cause of the increase in illegal parking is that, in the past, the lack of the parking space on the parking lot or the road where parking is permitted and the insufficient use of the parking space of the vehicle have been performed sufficiently. There is. For this reason, in the related art, in order to make effective use of the existing vehicle parking space in a situation where there is actually a shortage of vehicle parking space, as shown in FIG.

Since the management person creates information on whether or not 3, 54 is full or vacant, and displays the information on the parking information display device 57, personnel expenses of the person in charge of each parking lot are required, and However, there is a problem that there are many errors in information creation. In addition, when the driver is displayed as being full, the time until a vacancy is unclear is unknown, and eventually the vehicle is illegally parked on the street 58, 59 near the supermarket 52 and the theater 54. Problem. Therefore, in the present invention,
By displaying the vacancy information of the vehicle parking space on the parking lot or the parking permitted road in the area, and the waiting time information on how long to wait for parking even if the vehicle is full, by using inexpensive means. Another object of the present invention is to make it possible for a driver to park a vehicle to effectively use a parking space in a parking lot or a parking permit road in the area and reduce illegal parking.
