Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is effectively used for both a contract car contracting a parking lot on a monthly basis or the like and a time rental car which collects a parking fee corresponding to the parking time. The present invention relates to a parking lot management method that can be performed.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, a parking lot has a contracted parking lot where vehicles are parked under a contract such as a monthly contract, and a time rental parking lot which collects a time fee every time the vehicle is parked. Each one reserved a dedicated parking space and parked in this parking space.

However, the contracted car is not always parked in the dedicated parking space all day. For example, due to work, the car is parked only in the daytime or nighttime, and often goes out on business trips and trips. There were many cases where parking time was longer than parked time and parking space was not effectively used.

Therefore, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application No. 59-137372 (Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 61-5579)
As seen in the application of No. 9), the contract parking time (parking time schedule) is determined in advance between the vehicle and the contract vehicle, and the time period other than the contract parking time is used for the time rental car (customer). A hybrid parking lot with a contract car and a time rental car was developed, and it was considered that the parking space for the vacant contract car could be used effectively.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, some contracted vehicles may be parked all day depending on work or other reasons, or may be left open for a long period of time. Or, the contract customer intentionally upsets this schedule, and the contract car is stopped even though it is supposed to be vacant and the time rental car can not be parked, or conversely, the time rental car is stopped even if it is a contract car and parked The inconvenience of not being able to do so, or even if the parking space of the contract car is not used effectively for a long time while it is vacant, has arisen.

Further, in the conventional parking lot management device disclosed in the above-mentioned application, even if the contracted customer opens the corner parking space and makes it available to the time rental customers effectively, the contracted customer has some merits from this. There was also a problem that the cooperation for opening the parking space from the contract customer could not be obtained due to the lack of access.

Therefore, the technical problem of the present invention is that the parking space can be effectively used for the time rental car only during the time when the contract car opens the parking space, and the parking space is opened for the contract customer. The goal is to ensure that the contracted customers cooperate with the parking schedule while receiving profits according to the proportions.

[Means for solving the problem]

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

A state in which the contract car is always prioritized between a contract car whose entry / exit is managed using a commuter pass and a time rental car where entry / exit and charge management are performed using a parking ticket that records the entry time. (1) In order to leave the above contracted car using a commuter pass, the next time the contracted car is entered using the input means provided on the commuter pass or commuter pass reader. The scheduled time of entering the parking lot is set and input, and the time zone up to the scheduled time of entering the parking time is used as the parking space opening time for the parking of the rental car at the above time.

(2) The parking space opening time of each contracted vehicle is integrated, a discount is calculated from the accumulated time and the number of hours of use of the rental car, and the contracted parking fee of the contracted vehicle is reduced by the discounted amount. Make a discount.

(3) When the contracted car arrives before the scheduled parking time set and input, the time difference is calculated as the non-contracted parking time, and the non-contracted parking is calculated in calculating the parking contract fee for the contracted car. To add a penalty fee according to the time.

[Action]

 The above means works as follows.

In the element (1), each time the contracted car is taken out, the next entry time according to the schedule of the contracted customer is set and input, and this opening time zone is used for time rental cars. Can open parking space according to daily schedule without being tied to a contract, so that it is not possible to park even if it is a contract car, or conversely, there is a contract car that should be leaving the park There are no contracted vehicles, and the inconvenience of schedule contracts, such as the fact that a contracted car that should be parked leaves the parking lot and the parking space remains vacant for a long time, is resolved. It is possible to effectively use a parking space vacated by leaving a car for time rental.

The factor of the above (2) is to reduce the contract fee (monthly) of the contract customer according to the opening time of the parking space, so that the contract customer is willing to input the scheduled parking time and effectively use the parking space. Can be promoted more cooperatively.

If the contracted vehicle arrives before the scheduled parking time, the penalty fee will be added to the contract fee. , And can be conveniently parked without competing.

As described above, the above-described technical problems can be solved by the above-described means, and the problems of the related art can be solved.

Step S36: The received scheduled storage time is stored in the memory 31 of the management device 7 for each contract customer, and the process proceeds to the next step S37.

Step S37: Here, the parking space opening time is calculated from the input scheduled parking time and the leaving time (current time), and the process proceeds to the next step S38.

Step S38: The parking space calculation time calculated in step S37 is integrated for each contract customer and stored in the memory 31,
Proceed to the next step S39.

Step S39: Since one contracted car has left the parking lot, “+1” is added to the hourly parking number counter in the memory 31, and the processing is terminated.

Next, based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 11, the processing procedure of the management device 7 when the hourly rental car leaves the warehouse will be described.

Step S40: First, the time rental car use time (parking time) data transmitted from the fee settlement machine 5 at the exit TU via the signal line f4 is received, and the process proceeds to the next step S41.

Step S41: The time of use of the time rental vehicle is sequentially accumulated and stored in the memory 31, and the process proceeds to the next step S42.

Step S42: Since one time rental car has left the warehouse, the memory 31
"+1" is added to the hourly-parking number-of-hours counter, and the process ends.

Finally, a procedure in the case where the management device 7 performs the tallying operation process will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

Step S43: Based on the data accumulated in the memory 31 of the management device 7, the discount amount of each contract customer is calculated by the following formula, and the process proceeds to the next step S44.

[Discount calculation formula]

 Discount amount = (V−W × a) / Y × Z × b In the above equation, V is the parking space opening time of each contracted customer.

W is the off-contract parking time (penalty time) of each customer.

"a" is, for example, 1.5 (penalty value for a contracted vehicle arriving earlier than planned).

Y is the parking space opening time of all contract vehicles.

Z is the total use time of the rental car.

b is, for example, 100 yen (1/5 of the hourly fee of the hourly car rental).

Step S44: The printer (not shown) built in the management device 7 is operated, and the discount amount for each contract vehicle (customer) calculated based on the calculation in the above step S43 is converted to the contract shown in FIG. By printing out like the vehicle-specific discount form X, the billed amount for each contracted vehicle is determined next month, and the processing is completed.

In the above-described embodiment, the input of the scheduled parking time is performed by operating the ten keys 11 of the commuter pass PC made using an IC card, but a magnetic card is used as the commuter pass PC, The entry of the scheduled parking time may be performed by operating a ten-key (not shown) provided on the commuter pass reader 4.

Also, if the contracted car arrives earlier than the scheduled time,
The problem of parking space shortage (fullness) that occurs when a time rental car parks beyond the available parking time is, for example, 2-3.
Prepare a spare space for the units in advance. The parking time is clearly printed on the parking ticket. An IC card is used as a parking ticket, and an alarm is issued when the parking end time approaches. If the parking time has passed, a surcharge will be charged. By taking measures such as the above, it can be easily solved.

〔effect〕

The parking lot management method according to the present invention is as described above, and the contracted vehicle opens the parking space from this scheduled time to input the scheduled time of next entry when the contracted vehicle is taken out. By clarifying the time zone and making the open time zone available to time rental cars effectively, it is possible to increase the income of hourly rental fee, while for contract cars, the time corresponding to the opening time of the parking space The contract allows customers to actively cooperate in opening parking spaces, and if a contracted car arrives before the scheduled parking time, a penalty for non-contracted parking time will be given. As a result, the contracted customer makes an effort not to affect the parking of the time rental car while keeping the scheduled parking time, so that it is possible to park the contract car and the time rental car without any trouble.
