DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a vehicle for a specific person who has a rental contract for a parking lot, such as a monthly parking lot, and a vehicle for an unspecified person who does not have such a contract.
The present invention relates to a parking lot management method and a parking lot management device capable of parking in two parking lots.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When parking lots are classified according to their contract form, only parking of vehicles (hereinafter, referred to as contract vehicles) of a specific person who has signed a regular contract (monthly contract) for renting a parking space in a predetermined period unit. Monthly parking lots to be permitted are classified into two types: parking lots, and hourly parking lots that allow parking of unspecified vehicles (hereinafter, referred to as general vehicles) that do not have such a contract and collect a parking fee each time.

In the metropolitan area, it is necessary to register a parking space of a monthly parking lot when purchasing a vehicle due to regulations such as the garage law. For this reason, in the metropolitan area, there are many parking spaces corresponding to the number of vehicles owned by individuals and corporations. Since the parking space of one contractor is specified by the above registration, it is not possible to park in another parking space. Further, since a parking fee is paid regularly based on a contract such as a monthly contract, a vehicle detector, a payment machine and the like are not installed in the parking space.

[0004] On the other hand, in the hourly parking lot, parking lots provided with a parking lot management device for performing unmanned management are increasing. As such a parking lot management device, there are two types, a general management system and an individual management system. The former issues a parking ticket to a vehicle entering the parking lot by a parking ticket issuing machine provided at the entrance gate of the parking lot, and a vehicle exiting the parking lot throws a parking ticket into a checkout machine provided at the exit gate. The parking fee is displayed, and the exit gate is opened when the fee is received. The latter has the following configuration. That is, a vehicle blocking device for preventing vehicles from entering and exiting each parking space of the parking lot, a vehicle detector for detecting the presence or absence of a vehicle in each parking space, and a payment machine for collecting a parking fee are provided. At the time of entry of the vehicle, the vehicle blocking device provided in the parking space corresponding to the vehicle detector that has detected the vehicle is caused to perform a blocking operation, and charging processing for the parking space is started. At the time of leaving the vehicle, when the payment of the parking fee calculated by the charging process for the parking space is properly performed by the settlement machine, the stopping operation of the vehicle blocking device is released and the vehicle that has been parked is released. Allow By using such a parking lot management device, there is an advantage that parking of a general vehicle can be managed unattended.

[0005] By the way, for the monthly parking lot of the applicant urban areas, and <br/> time to investigate the emptiness of the parking space, in a particular time zone, because many of the vehicles are unloading, It turns out that the parking lot has a lot of empty space. In other words, in the monthly parking lot where vehicles used mainly for commuting use etc. are parked, after the above-mentioned vehicles leave for work, that is, during the day, over half a day,
There are many parking spaces available.

[0006] At present, in a city area, a time rental parking lot equipped with the above-described parking lot management device has been added, but it has not been possible to solve a chronic shortage of parking lots. On the other hand, in the monthly parking lot, as described above, there is a contradiction that many empty spaces exist in a specific time zone. From such a background, the present applicant has previously proposed a parking lot management method and a parking lot management device that effectively utilize the parking space and solve the shortage of the parking lot (Japanese Patent Application No. 9-45124).

Referring to FIG. 17, the configuration and operation of the parking lot management device will be briefly described. The parking lot management device 1 provided in the parking lot P is provided corresponding to each parking space Pa. It comprises a control device 2, a vehicle detector 3, and a vehicle blocking device 4. The vehicle detector 3 detects whether a vehicle exists in the parking space. The vehicle blocking device 4 operates under the control of the management device 2 to prevent the vehicle from entering and leaving the parking space.

[0008] A contractor who has concluded a lease contract corresponding to the parking space Pa, requests the management machine 2 for a rental period during which general vehicle parking is permitted and a contract exclusive to the contracted vehicle (the contractor). Set the time zone so that it does not overlap each other. In the rent time zone, when the vehicle detector 3 detects the vehicle C (general vehicle) in the parking space Pa, the management device 2 causes the vehicle blocking device 4 to perform a blocking operation to leave the vehicle from the parking space Pa. At the same time, the parking fee corresponding to the parking time is calculated and displayed. The blocking operation of the vehicle blocking device 4 is released based on the termination of the parking fee settlement process. This allows the general vehicle to exit the parking space. On the other hand, in the contract time zone,
When the vehicle detector 3 does not detect the vehicle C in the parking space Pa, the vehicle detector 3 prohibits the vehicle from entering the parking space Pa, and outputs predetermined identification information assigned in advance corresponding to the parking space Pa. The prohibition of vehicle entry is released based on the input by the contractor. That is, only the contract vehicle of the contractor who can input the predetermined identification information can park in the parking space Pa, and the parking of the general vehicle is prohibited.

[0009]

In the above-mentioned parking lot management apparatus, an empty space generated after a contract vehicle is taken out of a monthly parking lot can be rented out to a general vehicle for a fee. Thus, there is an effect that the parking space can be effectively utilized and the shortage of the parking lot can be eliminated. By the way, in the parking lot management device having the above configuration,
There is no problem if the general vehicle leaves the parking space Pa before the contract time starts . However, due to the carelessness of the user of the general vehicle, the general vehicle exceeds the rental time zone and violates the contract time zone and is parked. ) Occurs, there is a possibility that the returned contract vehicle cannot be parked in the parking space Pa in spite of the time corresponding to the contract time zone. The present invention has been made based on such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to make it possible to rent an empty space generated after leaving a contract vehicle in a monthly parking lot to a general vehicle for a fee. It is an object of the present invention to provide a parking lot management method and a parking lot management device for avoiding a situation in which a contract vehicle cannot be parked even if an excess vehicle occurs.

[0010]

First, the CPU 100 of the central management unit 21 clears each evacuation space allocation information Fs of the evacuation space allocation information storage means 105 (ST50). Next, a request is made to each of the individual management units 22 to respond to the detection state of the vehicle detector 4. The parking position number of the space is received, and the state of the empty parking space is checked (ST51). In ST51, if it is found that there is no empty parking space, the fact is notified to the display means 112 of the central management unit 21 so that the user is notified that there is no evacuation space. You may.

Next, a predetermined number of parking spaces are selected as evacuation spaces from the parking spaces determined to be vacant parking spaces, and as shown in FIG. Evacuation space allocation information Fs corresponding to the parking position number Np of the space
Is set to be in a valid state (ST52). In addition,
The predetermined number of parking spaces to be selected as an evacuation space is the frequency of vehicles with overtime that occur in the parking lot, and the loss due to the shortening of the rental time period of the parking space that occurs when the parking space is secured as an evacuation space What is necessary is just to set suitably based on the balance with cost.

A command is transmitted to the individual management unit 22 of the parking space set as the evacuation space to perform the blocking operation of the vehicle blocking device 4 and the parking prohibition display of the parking availability display means 202 (ST53). Thereby, a predetermined number of evacuation spaces are secured.

Then, it waits for the input of contractor identification information ID (ST54). That is, when a contractor of a parking space with a parking lot returns to the parking lot, and there is an overtime vehicle in the parking space contracted by him,
The contractor inputs his / her own identification information ID from the operation unit 111 of the central management unit 21. Then, ST54
Becomes “Y”, the CPU 100 checks whether or not the inputted contractor identification information ID is stored in the contractor identification information storage means 102 (ST55). ST55
If the answer is "N", a message indicating that the user is not a contractor is displayed on the display means 113, and the process is terminated (ST56).

On the other hand, when it is verified that the contractor identification information ID is stored in the identification information storage means 102 (ST
“Y” at 55), the evacuation space allocation information Fs is searched for a valid parking position number Np from the evacuation space allocation storage unit 104, and the individual detector unit 22 assigned as the evacuation space is assigned the vehicle detector 3 It is requested to respond the detection state (ST57).

Based on the response, it is determined whether or not there is an individual management unit 22 determined to have no vehicle (ST58).
If there is no evacuation space that can be parked, the fact that there is no evacuation space is displayed on the display means 112 (ST59),
Terminate processing.

If there is at least one evacuation space that can be parked,
Individual management unit 22 corresponding to the selected evacuation space
, An instruction to release the blocking operation of the vehicle blocking device 4 and release the prohibition display of the parking possibility display means 202 (ST6).
0) The guidance information indicating the parking position of the evacuation space is displayed on the display means 112 (ST61).

The contractor enters the vehicle into the evacuation space where parking is allowed, and waits for the overtimed vehicle to leave. After the overtime vehicle leaves the parking area, it enters the parking space. The processing when a contract vehicle enters the warehouse is shown in FIG.
This is the same as the processing in the flowchart of FIG. When the vehicle detector 3 detects that the vehicle evacuated to the evacuation space has left the vehicle during the evacuation time, the CPU 200 of the individual management unit 22 causes the vehicle blocking device 4 to perform a blocking operation, and the other contracted vehicle Prepare to be able to evacuate.
As shown in the main flowchart of FIG.
When the end time of the evacuation time period ends, the processing shifts to the contract time period processing.

According to the above-described embodiment, when a general vehicle (vehicle exceeding the time) is parked in a parking space even though the rental time zone has been exceeded, the vehicle is parked in the parking space. By temporarily parking the contract vehicle that cannot be used in the evacuation space, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the contract vehicle cannot be parked.

In the above description of the embodiment, in the parking space secured as an evacuation space, the rental time zone set for the evacuation space is shortened by the time secured as the evacuation time zone. Therefore, it is inevitable that a loss cost occurs. In order to reduce the loss cost as much as possible, for example, the following configuration may be adopted. That is, the ending time of the rental time zone is later than the start time of the evacuation time zone, and a parking space near the start time is preferentially secured as an evacuation space. In this case, the parking space with a short time secured as the evacuation time zone in the rental time zone is preferentially secured as the evacuation space. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the loss cost due to the shortened rental time zone.

In the above description of the embodiment, a parking space whose ending time of the rental time zone is close to the start time of the evacuation time zone is a parking space whose ending time of the rental time zone is far from the starting time of the evacuation time zone. In comparison, the rate of securing evacuation spaces increases, so that the parking spaces to which evacuation spaces are allocated are biased. If it is not preferable that the parking space to which the evacuation space is to be allocated is not biased, for example, the following configuration may be adopted. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, time condition information for specifying at least one of a month, a week, a day of the week, and a date is set in advance in the time condition information storage unit 105 in correspondence with each parking space. deep. Then, when selecting an evacuation space in the evacuation time zone, the clock means 1
08 and the time condition information stored in the time condition information storage means 105,
If there is a parking space that satisfies the time condition, an evacuation space is selected from the parking pace. For example, in a parking lot having five parking spaces, Monday to Friday are assigned to each of the parking spaces as the time condition information Tc. In this case, from Monday to Friday, each parking space is sequentially secured as an evacuation space without bias. As the time condition information Tc, a month, a week, and a date may be set in addition to the above-described day of the week.

In the above description of the embodiment, by inputting the contractor identification information, the parking permission for the parking space and the parking permission for the evacuation space corresponding to the contractor identification information are made. Accordingly, by using the same contractor identification information, a certain contractor is allowed to park the vehicle in the contracted parking space and park another vehicle in the evacuation space that is another parking space. I will. If such illegal parking in the evacuation space is allowed, other users who try to use the evacuation space are inconvenienced, which is not preferable. In order to solve the above inconvenience, the following method may be used. That is, the prohibition of vehicle entry into one of the parking space and the evacuation space is released.
It is parked same identification information as already identified information input to that
When entered into the other of the car space and the evacuation space
Is a non unblock other pair <br/> to the vehicle enters the parking space and the evacuation space. This processing will be described with reference to a flowchart.
In step 2), after input collation of the contractor identification information in ST24, the process is performed in which the blocking operation of the vehicle blocking device is not released. In the evacuation time zone processing (FIG. 16), ST5
After collation of the contractor identification information in step 5, the process is performed so that the blocking operation of the vehicle blocking machine is not canceled. By performing the above-described processing, it is possible to prevent the plurality of vehicles from being illegally parked in the parking space and the evacuation space by inputting the same identification information. Therefore, it is possible to prohibit illegal parking in the evacuation space due to unauthorized use of the contractor identification information, thereby preventing other users who intend to use the evacuation space from being inconvenienced. Note that the above-described process of recognizing the contractor identification information of the already parked state is performed, for example, in the contractor identification information storage unit 102 illustrated in FIG. A storage area is provided for storing parking status information indicating whether or not the vehicle is in a state. In the processing of the contract time zone and the evacuation time zone, the CPU
100 updates the above-described parking presence / absence state information based on the input of the contractor identification information, and determines whether or not the same information has been input.

In the description of the above-described embodiment, when there is a vehicle whose time is over in a certain parking space (hereinafter, referred to as a first parking space), a contract is made corresponding to the first parking space. The contract vehicle (hereinafter, referred to as a first contract vehicle) is evacuated to an evacuation space (hereinafter, referred to as a second parking space) and waits for the general vehicle to leave. After leaving the general vehicle, the first contract vehicle moves from the second parking space to the first parking space. Therefore, the driver of the first contracted vehicle must move the first contracted vehicle from the second parking space to the first parking space. Until the vehicle becomes empty, it is necessary to wait for the movement of the general vehicle, which does not know when to leave the warehouse, which is inconvenient. In order to eliminate such a drawback, the following method may be used. That is, the contract time zone processing for the second parking space selected as the evacuation space and the contract time zone processing for the first parking space corresponding to the identification information input for parking in the evacuation space are exchanged with each other. Do it. According to the above method, when the first contract vehicle evacuates to the second space (evacuation space), the first contract time corresponding to the first parking space contracted corresponding to the first contract vehicle. Band processing is performed. On the other hand, after the general vehicle parked in the first parking space exceeds the rental time zone, the second parking space selected as the evacuation space is added to the vacant first parking space. When the second contract vehicle contracting for the space enters the warehouse, the second contract time zone processing corresponding to the second parking space is performed on the second contract vehicle. That is, the first contracted vehicle and the second contracted vehicle can park by exchanging the parking space contracted with each other during the contract time slot. Therefore, the first contract vehicle parked in the second parking space does not need to move to the first parking space, and therefore does not need to wait for the overtimed vehicle to leave the first parking space. . In order to replace the contract time period processing corresponding to the first parking space and a second parking space to each other, in a time zone information storage means 103 shown in FIG. 4,
What is necessary is just to replace the parking position number Np. Further, the parking position number stored in the time zone information storage means 10 3 N
A conversion table for replacing and reading p, that is, a table for storing the parking position number Np in association with the parking position number Np to be replaced is separately provided, and the parking table converted by the conversion table is provided. The time zone information Tt may be read from the time zone information storage unit 103 based on the position number Np.

[0062] The input and time information for <br/> setting the parking position number is inputted through the communication unit 113 the information from the wireless communication device such as a cellular phone or PHS phone to a central management unit 21 May be performed.

In the above-described embodiment, during the contract time period and the evacuation time period, the vehicle blocking device is made to perform the blocking operation, and the blocking operation is performed only when the contractor identification information is input to the management device. By canceling, the general vehicle is prevented from being illegally parked. However, if the vehicle accidentally enters the parking space due to the driver's carelessness, etc., even though the vehicle blocking device is performing the blocking operation, depending on the form of the vehicle blocking device, the vehicle may be blocked. There is a possibility that both the vehicle and the vehicle blocking device may be damaged due to contact with the operating vehicle blocking device. In consideration of such circumstances, the blocking operation of the vehicle blocking device may be kept released during the contract time zone. Then, even if the vehicle enters the parking space by mistake, the above-described inconvenience can be avoided.

As described above, during the contract time period and the evacuation time period, when the blocking operation of the vehicle blocking device is kept released, parking of general vehicles is prohibited to secure the parking space of the contract vehicle. It is desirable to keep. Therefore,
Parking of general vehicles is prohibited by causing the parking availability display unit to display that parking of general vehicles is refused, or by displaying the rental time zone and / or the contract time zone by the time zone display unit. It is preferable that the user be made aware of the fact that the operation has been performed and call attention.

Here, the correspondence between the description of the embodiment and the description of the claims will be described. ST5 in FIG.
1, the operation of ST52 is detected by the vehicle detector at least in a predetermined evacuation time zone including at least a predetermined time before the end time of the rental time zone as described in claim 1. This corresponds to “evacuation space selection processing” for selecting a predetermined number of parking spaces from the unoccupied parking spaces as evacuation spaces. Further, the operation of ST53 corresponds to the “evacuation space securing process” of claim 1 in which the vehicle is prohibited from entering the selected evacuation space and the evacuation space is secured. The operation of ST54 to ST60 cancels the prohibition of vehicle entry to the evacuation space when any one of all the identification information corresponding to the plurality of parking spaces is input, as described in claim 1. This corresponds to “temporary evacuation processing” that permits parking of contract vehicles.

The "payment settlement means", "rental time zone control means", and "identification information input means" described in claim 6
The "contract time zone control means" is equivalent to the related art, but the correspondence will be described in order to clarify the correspondence with the embodiment. That is, the charging information storage unit 107 and the fee collection unit 111 in FIG. 2 and the ST3 in FIG.
2, a CPU 200 that controls ST35 and a CPU 100 that controls ST40 and ST41 in FIG. 14 perform a charging operation based on the vehicle detection state of the vehicle detector according to claim 6 to reduce a parking fee. Calculate,
This is equivalent to "payment settlement means" that collects parking fees. CPU 200 for controlling ST34, ST36 and ST37 in FIG. 13 and ST43, ST45 and ST in FIG.
And a CPU that controls the controller when the current time indicated by the clock data of the clock means corresponds to the rental time zone. To permit parking in the parking space, and when the vehicle detector is in the vehicle detection state, perform the blocking operation of the vehicle blocking device, and when the parking fee is received by the fee payment unit. This corresponds to "rental time zone control means" which releases the blocking operation of the vehicle blocking device and permits the leaving of the general vehicle. The operation unit 112 of FIG. 2, the operation unit 205 of FIG. 9, and the medium reading unit 204 correspond to “identification information input unit” for inputting contractor identification information. The CPU 100 and the CPU 200 that perform the control of ST22 to ST25 in FIG. 12 block the vehicle blocking device when the current time indicated by the clock data of the clock means described in claim 6 corresponds to the contract time zone. The parking space is released by releasing the blocking operation of the vehicle blocking device when it is determined that the contractor identification information input to the identification information input means is stored in the contractor identification information storage means. Corresponds to “contract time zone control means” for permitting parking of the contract vehicle with respect to.

The CPU 100 of the central management unit 21 performing the operations of ST51 and ST52 of FIG. 17 determines at least the current time indicated by the clock data output from the clock means according to claim 6. In the case of coincidence with the evacuation time zone, it corresponds to "evacuation space selection means" for selecting a predetermined number of parking spaces as evacuation spaces from parking spaces in which vehicles have not been detected by the vehicle detector. The setting of the evacuation time zone information in the evacuation time zone information storage unit 104 is performed, for example, by
In the central management unit 21, the evacuation time zone information input by the operation means 112 may be set in the evacuation time zone information storage means 104 by the CPU 100, and the CPU 100 performing such processing may terminate the rental time zone. This corresponds to "evacuation time zone setting means" for setting an evacuation time zone from the time to a time that is a predetermined time earlier. In addition, the CPU 100 performing the operation of ST53 performs the “evacuation space securing means” for preventing the vehicle from entering the evacuation space by performing a blocking operation of the vehicle blocking device corresponding to the selected evacuation space. Is equivalent. The CPU 100 performing the operations of ST54 to ST60 is
It is determined that the contractor identification information input to the identification information input means described in claim 6 is stored in the contractor identification information storage means and corresponds to the contractor identification information. When the vehicle detector in the parking space is in the vehicle detection state, the evacuation control means for releasing the blocking operation of the vehicle blocking device corresponding to the evacuation space and permitting the contract vehicle to park in the evacuation space. Is equivalent.

[0068]

As described in detail above, according to the parking lot management method of the present invention, it is possible to rent an empty space generated after leaving a contract vehicle in a contract parking lot to a general vehicle for a fee. In addition, when a general vehicle is parked in the parking space even if the rental time period is exceeded, the contract vehicle that cannot be parked in the parking space can be temporarily parked in the evacuation space. Thus, it is possible to avoid a situation where the contract vehicle cannot be parked.

In the above-mentioned method, when the same identification information as the identification information already inputted for prohibiting the vehicle from entering the parking space and the evacuation space is entered, the vehicle is prohibited from entering the parking space and the evacuation space. Is not canceled, the same identification information is input to prevent a plurality of vehicles from being illegally parked in the parking space and the evacuation space.

[0070] In the above method, the evacuation space selection processing may be such that, in a predetermined evacuation time zone, the ending time of the rental time zone is set to the predetermined evacuation time from among parking spaces in which no vehicles are detected by the vehicle detector. When the parking space set at a time after the start time of the obi and near the start time of the evacuation time zone is preferentially selected as the evacuation space, the time secured as the evacuation time zone in the rental time zone is determined. Short parking spaces are given priority as evacuation spaces. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the loss cost due to the shortened rental time zone.

In the above method, a time condition for specifying at least one of a month, a week, a day of the week, and a date is set in advance for each parking space, and the evacuation space selection process is performed in a predetermined evacuation time zone. When selecting a predetermined number of parking spaces as evacuation spaces from parking spaces where vehicles are not detected by the vehicle detector,
When the evacuation space is selected from parking spaces satisfying the time condition, a parking space satisfying the time condition is secured as an evacuation space.
Therefore, by appropriately setting the above time conditions,
It is possible to prevent the parking space secured as an evacuation space from being biased.

In the above method, the evacuation space and
