Description

  The present invention relates to a parking lot management device capable of making a reservation for parking a vehicle in a parking lot, and a management method for the parking lot management device.

  In general, there are two types of parking lots: a contracted parking lot that is used by a specific user based on a lease contract for a certain period, and a temporary parking lot that is temporarily used by an unspecified user. . The user of the specific contracted parking lot uses, for example, a parking lot exclusively at night, and pays out for work during the day to open the parking lot. In other words, unless the parking lot is simply used for storage of vehicles, the user of the specified contract parking lot tends to leave the parking lot for a predetermined time of the day, for example, depending on the business or life. is there.

  By the way, one parking lot may play the role of both a specific contract parking lot and a temporary use parking lot. In this parking lot, if a parking place for a specific contracted vehicle is displayed and secured at all times, it will be used by a temporary vehicle even though there is a vacancy in the predetermined time zone described above. I can't do that. This is not to say that the parking lot is operating effectively.

Then, the parking lot management system which parks these vehicles according to the utilization condition of a parking lot, without distinguishing the parking place of a specific contract vehicle and a temporary use vehicle beforehand is disclosed (for example, refer patent document 1). .) In this system, it is assumed that the usage status of the parking lot changes approximately regularly according to the day of the week, the time of day, etc. I remember it. Further, in this system, the ratio of the number of temporarily used vehicles to the number of parked vehicles of a specific contract vehicle is detected by predetermined detection means including a vehicle sensor and the like, and the temporary use is based on this ratio and the above-mentioned total result. The number of vehicles that can be parked is being sought. Here, for example, when the number of cars that can be parked becomes zero, a predetermined display means that the vehicle is full is displayed.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-302198

  However, since the usage situation of the parking lot may change from moment to moment, the number of vehicles that can be temporarily parked is determined based on the past counting results of the specific contract vehicle as in the system disclosed in Patent Document 1 described above. Even if the prediction is made, an error may occur in the predicted value. If an error occurs in this system, there is a possibility that an instruction to wait for entry may be issued to a specific contracted vehicle that should normally be parked in the parking lot.

  In the above, for the sake of convenience, vehicles using parking lots are classified into specific contract vehicles and temporary use vehicles, but in general, vehicles with parking reservation and vehicles without parking reservation. And can be classified. Also in this case, there is a possibility that the same problem as described above (even if a vehicle making a parking reservation comes to the parking lot at the reservation date and time, an instruction to wait for entering the vehicle is issued).

  The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to secure a parking place for a vehicle having a parking reservation in a parking lot and to provide a parking place for a vehicle having no parking reservation as much as possible. There is.

The invention for solving the above-mentioned problem is a parking lot management device capable of reserving a parking of a vehicle in a parking lot, and associates information related to the vehicle with information indicating a parking reservation date and time of the vehicle. Based on the storage content stored in the storage unit and the storage contents of the storage unit, a first time period for limiting the parking of the vehicle without the parking reservation is calculated in order to secure the parking place of the vehicle with the parking reservation. A calculating unit, a time measuring unit for measuring time, an entry restriction processing unit for determining whether or not the time measured by the time measuring unit is included in the time zone calculated by the first calculating unit, A restriction unit that restricts parking of the vehicle without the parking reservation when it is determined by the vehicle restriction processing unit that the time counted by the time counting unit is included in the time zone calculated by the first calculation unit. And comprising.

In addition, the time keeping time of the time measuring part means a predetermined time or a predetermined time zone.
For example, consider a case where a vehicle A without a parking reservation at a certain date and time is about to park in a parking lot. The number of parking reservations of the vehicle B with the parking reservation at the timed time corresponding to this date and time can be calculated by the first calculation unit. Therefore, the restriction unit can restrict the parking of the vehicle A so that the parking place of the parking lot maintains the number of reserved parking spaces for the vehicle B. Here, the number of parking reservations for the vehicle B at a certain date and time is obtained from the parking reservation date and time stored in the storage unit, and the vehicle B can be specified from the information regarding the vehicle B stored in the storage unit. . From the above, it is possible to secure a parking place for the vehicle B having a parking reservation in the parking lot and to provide a parking place as much as possible to the vehicle A having no parking reservation.

Further, in such a parking lot management apparatus, the information indicating the parking reservation date and time of the vehicle has information indicating a scheduled entry time and a scheduled departure time of the vehicle, and based on the storage contents of the storage unit, Ru comprising a cabin allocation unit for allocating a parking location of the vehicle to the vehicle, it is preferable.

  For example, the restriction unit may park the vehicle B described above at the parking location associated with the reserved number of parking spaces, and if the vehicle A is parked at a parking location other than the parking location when parking the vehicle A described above, The parking place of B can be ensured more reliably.

  Moreover, in this parking lot management device, a second calculation unit that calculates the number of vehicles that can be parked based on the number of vehicles entering and leaving the parking lot, and the number of parking reservations and the number of parkable vehicles in the time measured by the time measuring unit, It is preferable that the restriction unit prohibits the parking of the vehicle without the parking reservation in the parking lot when the parking possible number is equal to or less than the parking reservation number.

  Since the parking of the vehicle A mentioned above is prohibited when the parking possible number calculated by the 2nd calculation part is below the parking reservation number, the parking of the vehicle B mentioned above is ensured preferentially. On the other hand, when the parking possible number calculated by the 2nd calculation part exceeds the parking reservation number, the vehicle A mentioned above can be parked, for example by this excess number. Therefore, while securing the parking place of the vehicle B with the parking reservation in a parking lot, the parking place can be provided to the vehicle A without the parking reservation as much as possible.

Further, in this parking lot management apparatus, the information on the vehicle is an ID of a user of a vehicle with a reservation for parking in the parking lot , and the restricting unit has an ID of the user of the vehicle as the storage unit. If the ID matches the ID stored in, the vehicle may be determined as the vehicle having the parking reservation .

Moreover, in this parking lot management device, when the vehicle enters the parking lot, an issuing unit that issues a parking ticket to the vehicle, and when the vehicle leaves the parking lot, the issuing from the vehicle a receiving unit for receiving the issued parking ticket by parts, a front SL-issuing of issuing unit the parking ticket by, on the basis of the receipt number of the parking ticket by the receiving unit, calculates a number of car spaces of the vehicle It is good also as providing the 2nd calculation part to perform.

The invention for solving the above-mentioned problem is a management method of a parking lot management apparatus capable of making a reservation for parking a vehicle in a parking lot, and information relating to the vehicle and information indicating a parking reservation date and time of the vehicle And a storage step for associating and storing, and based on the storage contents of the storage step, a time period for restricting the parking of the vehicle without the parking reservation in order to secure the parking place of the vehicle with the parking reservation A calculation step for calculating the time, a time measurement step for measuring time, an entry restriction processing step for determining whether or not the time measured in the time measurement step is included in the time zone calculated in the calculation step, When it is determined by the vehicle restriction processing step that the time measured in the time measuring step is included in the time zone calculated in the calculating step, parking of the vehicle without the parking reservation is performed. A limiting step of limiting the composed comprise.

  It is possible to secure a parking place for a vehicle with a parking reservation in the parking lot and to provide a parking place as much as possible to a vehicle without a parking reservation.

=== Overall Configuration (First Embodiment) ===
A configuration example of the parking lot management apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of the parking lot management device 1 according to the first embodiment.

  The parking lot management device 1 is a device for accepting reservations for a dedicated parking lot for a hospital when a patient makes a reservation for a medical examination, and for securing a vehicle room (parking place) for the reserved patient. is there.

  In order to realize such a function, the parking lot management device 1 mainly includes a server device 2 and a gate control device 3. Here, the communication between the server device 2 and the gate control device 3 is, for example, wireless communication. In addition, the reservation terminal 110 and the patient terminal 120 are connected to the server device 2 so as to communicate with each other. The reservation terminal 110 and the patient terminal 120 are terminals for a hospital patient to make a medical examination reservation and a parking lot reservation.

  The reservation terminal 110 is a computer such as a personal computer, a workstation, or a set top box, for example, and is installed in the hospital together with the server device 2. The reservation terminal 110 and the server apparatus 2 are connected by, for example, a LAN. The patient inputs the examination reservation information such as the patient ID, the examination date, the examination time, the examination doctor, and the examination department to the server device 2 through the appointment terminal 110. In addition, the patient inputs the parking lot reservation information such as the scheduled entry time to the parking lot to the server device 2 through the reservation terminal 110.

  On the other hand, the patient terminal 120 is a computer such as a personal computer and is owned by the patient. The patient terminal 120 and the server device 2 are connected via the Internet, for example. The patient terminal 120 is preinstalled with browsing software such as a WEB browser. As in the case of the reservation terminal 110, the patient inputs the examination reservation information and the parking lot reservation information to the server device 2 through the patient terminal 120.

=== Server Device (First Embodiment) ===
As illustrated in FIG. 1, the server device 2 includes a medical examination reservation information registration unit 21, a parking lot reservation information registration unit 22, a limited scheduled time zone calculation unit 23 that calculates a limited scheduled time zone for entering the vehicle, and the like. The transmission unit 24 that transmits information such as the number of vehicles waiting to enter the vehicle and the scheduled time limit to the gate control device 3, a medical reservation database 25 that stores medical reservation information, and a parking reservation database that stores parking reservation information 26.

  The examination reservation information registration unit 21 registers the examination reservation information input through the reservation terminal 110 in the examination reservation database 25 (FIG. 2). FIG. 2 is a chart showing a configuration example of the examination reservation database 25 according to the first embodiment.

  The parking lot reservation information registration unit 22 registers the parking lot reservation information input through the reservation terminal 110 in the parking lot reservation database (storage unit) 26 (FIG. 3). FIG. 3 is a chart showing a configuration example of the parking lot reservation database 26 according to the present embodiment. The parking lot reservation information illustrated in the figure includes, for example, a reservation number assigned in the order of acceptance with respect to the patient ID and the examination date, which are the above-described examination reservation information, and the scheduled time when the patient's vehicle enters the parking lot ( (Estimated entry time) is further associated information.

  The scheduled scheduled time zone calculation unit (first calculation unit) 23 is based on the parking lot reservation information described above, and will be described later on the scheduled entry time limit, the number of vehicles waiting to enter, and the scheduled limit time on a certain consultation date. A band or the like is calculated, and the entry restriction database 27 (FIG. 4) is generated. FIG. 4 is a chart showing a configuration example of the entry restriction database 27 of the present embodiment. The entry restriction database 27 illustrated in the figure has a scheduled entry time, a scheduled entry restriction start time, the number of vehicles waiting to enter, and a scheduled schedule time zone for a patient ID and a reservation number on an examination date. Are associated with each other.

<<< Generation operation of entry restriction database >>>
With reference to FIG. 5, the generation operation of the entry restriction database 27 by the restriction scheduled time zone calculation unit 23 will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a processing procedure of the limited scheduled time zone calculation unit 23 according to the first embodiment.

  First, in this embodiment, it is assumed that an average departure time is obtained in advance by averaging the time from when a certain vehicle leaves the parking lot until the next vehicle leaves the parking lot. . This average departure time can be obtained by, for example, a designer or manager of the parking lot management device 1 researching the use situation of the parking lot for a predetermined period (for example, one month). In the present embodiment, it is assumed that one vehicle compartment can be secured every time the average departure time elapses. Based on this assumption, for example, the waiting time for entering N vehicles waiting for entry can be approximated to N times the average leaving time. As will be described later, a time obtained by subtracting the vehicle waiting time from the vehicle entry scheduled time is defined as the vehicle entry restriction start scheduled time.

  The limited scheduled time zone calculation unit 23 sorts the parking lot reservation database 26 in order of the scheduled arrival time for a certain examination date (S1), and the Nth scheduled arrival time and the reservation number are (N + 1). The difference from the first scheduled entry time is sequentially obtained (S2), and 1 is substituted for the number of vehicles waiting to enter the reservation number 1 (S3).

  For example, with respect to the data array (see FIG. 6) in which the processes of steps S1 to S3 described above are executed for reservation numbers 1 to 4 in the parking lot reservation database 26, the limited scheduled time zone calculation unit 23 performs the following in the order of reservation numbers: The processes (S4 to S11) are executed. FIG. 6 is a data array chart for explaining the process of generating the entry restriction database 27 from the parking lot reservation database 26 according to the first embodiment.

  The scheduled scheduled time zone calculation unit 23 multiplies the number of vehicles waiting to enter in steps S9 and S10, which will be described later, and the average departure time (10 minutes in the illustration of FIG. 6) in the data array described above, The waiting time for entering the vehicle is obtained (S4). As described above, the number of vehicles waiting to enter the reservation number 1 is set to 1 as an initial value.

  The scheduled restriction time zone calculation unit 23 subtracts the entry waiting time obtained in step S4 from the scheduled entry time in the data array described above to obtain the scheduled entry restriction start time (S5).

  The scheduled restriction time zone calculation unit 23 stores the information about the scheduled entry restriction start time and the number of vehicles waiting to enter in step S5 together with the reservation number and the scheduled entry time information in the data array described above. 27 (S6).

  The scheduled restriction time zone calculation unit 23 determines whether or not the next reservation number exists in the above-described data array, and if it is determined that this does not exist (S7: NO), the calculation process of the scheduled entry restriction start time Exit.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the next reservation number exists in the data array described above (S7: YES), the restricted scheduled time zone calculation unit 23 calculates the difference between the scheduled arrival time and the average departure time of the next reservation number. Compare (S8). If it is determined that the difference between the scheduled arrival times is shorter than the average departure time (S8: YES), the limited scheduled time zone calculation unit 23 increases the number of vehicles waiting to enter by 1 (S9). On the other hand, if it is determined that the difference between the scheduled arrival times is longer than the average departure time (S8: NO), the limited scheduled time zone calculation unit 23 substitutes 1 for the number of vehicles waiting to enter (S10).

  Next, the limited scheduled time zone calculation unit 23 reads the next reservation number (S11), and subsequently executes the process of step S4.

  As described above, the data array illustrated in FIG. 6 is generated by repeatedly executing the processes in steps S4 to S11. Specifically, after the processing of steps S1 to S3, the first row of the data array illustrated in FIG. 6 is formed by the first processing of steps S4 to S11. Similarly, the second to fourth rows of this data array are formed by the second to fourth steps S4 to S11, respectively.

  Next, the limited scheduled time zone calculation unit 23 increases the number of vehicles waiting to enter “1”, “2” as the reservation numbers increase to “1”, “2”, “3” in the data array described above. ”And“ 3 ”, the vehicle entry restriction start scheduled time and the scheduled vehicle entry time corresponding to the maximum cumulative number of vehicles are obtained. The restricted scheduled time zone calculation unit 23 sets the scheduled scheduled time zone from the scheduled entry time to the scheduled entry time to the scheduled entry time zone, and associates this in common with the series of reservation numbers described above to enter the entry restriction database 27 ′ ( FIG. 7). The gate control device 3 to be described later performs a comparison between the number of parking spaces that can be parked and the number of vehicles waiting to enter (maximum cumulative number) in the scheduled time limit. FIG. 7 is a chart showing a configuration example of the entry restriction database 27 'based on the data array illustrated in FIG.

  As a specific example, in FIG. 7, reservation numbers 1 to 3 correspond to 1 to 3 waiting vehicles, and reservation number 4 corresponds to 1 waiting vehicle. . Therefore, the scheduled entry restriction start time “8:42” and the scheduled entry time “9; 12” corresponding to the reservation number 3 that gives the maximum cumulative number “3” are the restriction schedules of the reservation numbers 1 to 3. This constitutes the time zone “8: 42-9: 12”.

  As illustrated in FIG. 8, regarding reservation numbers 1 to 3, the larger the reservation number, the larger the range between the beginning and end of the restricted scheduled time zone. A comparison process by the gate control device 3 to be described later is executed in the limited scheduled time zone in the largest range. On the other hand, for the reservation number 4, the comparison process by the gate control device 3 described later is executed in the limited scheduled time zone “9: 27-9: 37”. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the scheduled time limit according to the first embodiment.

=== Gate Control Device (First Embodiment) ===
Returning to FIG. 1, a configuration example of the gate control device 3 will be described. The gate control device 3 is provided in the vicinity of the gate 130 at the entrance and exit of a parking lot, for example.

  Based on the information in the parking number calculation unit 35, the time counting unit 36 that measures the current time, and the vehicle entry restriction database 27, the gate control device 3 preferentially enters vehicles with parking reservations. The processing unit 37 and a control unit 38 that mainly instructs to open and close the gate 130 are configured.

  Further, the gate control device 3 includes a parking ticket port 31a for issuing and receiving a parking ticket, an input unit 31b for inputting a reservation number, a coin inserting port 32a for coin insertion as a parking fee, and a bill insertion port. A bill insertion slot 32b (collectively referred to as the depositing unit 32), a display unit 33 for displaying a message to the driver, a parking ticket processing unit 34 for reading or writing information on the parking ticket, and the server device 2 are transmitted. And a receiving unit 39 for receiving information on the entry restriction database 27.

  In the parking lot according to the present embodiment, when a vehicle enters the vehicle, the driver or the like is asked whether there is a parking lot reservation through the display unit 33 of the gate control device 3. A driver (for example, a patient) who has reserved a parking lot inputs a patient ID to the gate control device 3 through the input unit 31b and receives a parking ticket issued from the parking ticket processing unit 34 of the gate control device 3. It is assumed that the arrangement is made in advance. On the other hand, it is assumed that a driver who has not made a parking lot reservation (that is, a driver who does not input a patient ID) is arranged in advance to receive the parking ticket described above. Here, it is assumed that the parking ticket includes storage means such as a magnetic tape or a wireless tag for storing a vehicle entry time, a vehicle ID, and the like. This entry ID may be unique information of a parking ticket, for example. It is assumed that the driver has previously decided to insert the parking ticket into the parking ticket port 31a when leaving the parking lot.

  The parking ticket processing unit (issuing unit, receiving unit) 34, when issuing the parking ticket, from one of the plurality of parking tickets stored in advance in the predetermined storage unit, the vehicle stored in advance in the storage means It has a function of reading the ID. The parking ticket processing unit 34 writes the read entry ID to the control unit 38 in order to write it into the entry list 38a (see FIG. 9) stored in a predetermined storage unit (not shown) provided in the control unit 38. It shall have an instruction function. FIG. 9 is a chart illustrating a configuration example of the vehicle entry list 38a according to the first embodiment.

  Moreover, the parking ticket process part 34 reads the entrance ID memorize | stored in the memory | storage means again at the time of receipt of a parking ticket, and with respect to the control part 38, applicable entrance ID is mentioned from the entrance list 38a mentioned above. It shall have a function to be deleted.

  The control unit (restriction unit) 38 includes the above-described predetermined storage unit, stores information on a certain examination date (in the vehicle entry restriction database 27) transmitted from the transmission unit 24 of the server device 2, and enters the entry. The vehicle list 38a is stored. Based on the information on this date (patient ID, reservation number, number of vehicles waiting to enter, and scheduled time limit), the control unit 38 determines whether the patient corresponding to the patient ID input through the input unit 31b is displayed. And has a function of determining whether or not a parking lot reservation is made.

  When it is determined that the patient ID is registered in the parking lot reservation database 26, the control unit 38 opens the gate 130 and enters the vehicle. On the other hand, when the patient ID is not input for a predetermined time or when the input patient ID is not registered in the parking lot reservation database 26, the control unit 38 sets the gate 130 according to the result of the comparison process described later. It keeps closed and restricts entry of vehicles.

  Moreover, the control part 38 has a function which produces | generates the above-mentioned entry list 38a based on the instruction | indication of the parking ticket process part 34, when the vehicle entry is completed. The information of the entry list 38a mainly includes entry IDs, and in particular, reservation numbers corresponding to patient IDs are further associated with entry IDs assigned to vehicles reserved for parking. ing.

  Further, when the vehicle leaves the vehicle, the controller 38 searches the vehicle entry list 38a for the vehicle ID assigned to the vehicle based on an instruction from the parking ticket processing unit 34, and for example, parks the vehicle through the display unit 33. It has a function to charge a fee. When a predetermined amount of coins or banknotes are inserted through the depositing unit 32 by the driver, the control unit 38 deletes the corresponding departure ID from the entry list 38a.

  The number-of-parking-number calculating section (second calculating section) 35 totals the number of entering IDs constituting the entering list 38a, and the total value is calculated as the number of vehicles currently parked in the parking lot (number of parked cars). It has the function to do. Moreover, the parking number calculation part 35 has a function which subtracts this parking number from the maximum accommodation number of vehicles in a parking lot, and calculates | requires a parking possible number.

  As will be described later, the entry restriction processing unit (comparison unit) 37 enters a vehicle without a parking lot reservation in order to secure a vehicle room with a parking lot reservation when the parking lot is not enough. This has a function of instructing the control unit 38 to limit.

  In the above-described embodiment, the patient ID for specifying a vehicle with a parking lot reservation is input through the input unit 31b. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the gate control device 3 may include predetermined means (for example, a card reader) for reading the patient ID from an examination ticket including predetermined storage means in which the patient ID is stored.

  In the above-described embodiment, the parking fee is uniform, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, if the entry list 38a records entry time and departure time for each entry ID, the gate control device 3 calculates the parking time from these two times, and according to this parking time. You may charge a parking fee.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the number of parking spaces in the parking lot is obtained based on the entry list 38a in which issuance and receipt of parking tickets are recorded. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the gate control device 3 may include a predetermined sensor that detects entry and exit of a vehicle from a parking lot, and may determine the number of parked vehicles based on the number of entry and exit times detected by the sensor.

=== Management Method for Parking Lot Management Device (First Embodiment) ===
With reference to FIG. 10, the management method of the parking lot management apparatus 1 provided with the structure mentioned above is demonstrated. FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a processing procedure of the gate control device 3 according to the first embodiment.

Consider the case where a vehicle without a parking reservation enters the parking lot. As described above, this is a case where the patient ID is not input from the input unit 31b.
The vehicle entry restriction processing unit 37 refers to the current time measured by the time measuring unit 36 (S11).
The entry restriction processing unit 37 determines whether or not the current time is included in the scheduled restriction time zone stored in the predetermined storage unit of the control unit 38 (S12).

When it is determined that the current time is not included in the scheduled restriction time zone (S12: NO), the entry restriction processing unit 37 executes a normal entry restriction process described later (S18).
When it is determined that the current time is included in the restricted scheduled time zone (S12: YES), the entry restriction processing unit 37 determines the number of entry IDs constituting the entry list 38a for the parking number calculation unit 35. The total number of parking is calculated (S13).

  The entry restriction processing unit 37 causes the parking number calculation unit 35 to subtract the number of parking obtained in step S13 from the maximum number of vehicles accommodated in the parking lot to obtain the number of parking available (number of empty rooms). (S14).

  The vehicle entry restriction processing unit 37 compares the number of vehicles waiting to enter and stored in the predetermined storage unit of the control unit 38 with the number of empty rooms (S15). The number of vehicles waiting to enter is the maximum cumulative number described above. For example, in the entry restriction database 27 ′ illustrated in FIG. 7, the number of vehicles waiting for entry is “3” when the restriction scheduled time zone is “8: 42-9: 12”. Is “1” when “9: 27-9: 37”.

When the number of empty vehicle compartments is equal to or less than the number of vehicles waiting to enter (S15: YES), the entry restriction processing unit 37 instructs the control unit 38 to restrict entry (S16). In this case, for example, “Please wait for a while when the vehicle is full” is displayed on the display unit 33, and entry of the vehicle is rejected while the gate 130 is closed.
When the number of vacant compartments exceeds the number of vehicles waiting to enter (S15: NO), the entry restriction processing portion 37 instructs the control unit 38 to release the entry restriction (S17), and then the processing of step S11 is performed. continue.

  In the present embodiment, for example, the patient with the patient ID “111” has made a reservation to enter the parking lot at 9:00 together with the examination appointment with the hospital (FIG. 7). Similarly, the patient with the patient ID “112” makes a reservation to enter the parking lot at 9:05, and the patient with the patient ID “113” makes a reservation to enter the parking lot at 9:12. The patient with ID “114” has made a reservation to enter the parking lot at 9:37 (FIG. 7).

  According to the parking lot management device 1 of the present embodiment, in the limited scheduled time zone 8:42 to 9:12, the three patients who have made reservations are input through the input unit 3 of the gate control device 3. Identification by ID (“111”, “112”, “113”) permits entry into the parking lot. On the other hand, in this limited scheduled time zone 8:42 to 9:12, if the number of vehicles that can be parked exceeds 3, the driver's vehicle that is not reserved is permitted to enter the parking lot and the number of vehicles that can be parked is limited. If it is 3 or less, entry into the parking lot is prohibited.

  In 9:12 to 9:27, a vehicle of a driver who has not made a reservation is permitted to enter the parking lot if the number of parking available vehicles is not zero (normal entry restriction).

  In the limited scheduled time zone 9:27 to 9:37, the vehicle of one patient who has made a reservation is identified by the patient ID (“114”) input through the input unit 3 of the gate control device 3 and enters the parking lot. Entry is permitted. On the other hand, in this limited scheduled time zone 9:27 to 9:37, if the number of parking available for the driver's vehicle that has not been reserved exceeds 1, the vehicle is permitted to enter the parking lot and the number of parking available vehicles is limited. If it is less than 1, entry to the parking lot is prohibited.

  From the above, according to the parking lot management apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to secure a parking place for a vehicle with a reservation in the parking lot and provide a parking place as much as possible to a vehicle without a reservation.

=== Second Embodiment ===
Hereinafter, another embodiment for securing the above-described vehicle compartment will be described.
As illustrated in FIG. 11, in the parking lot 4 according to the present embodiment, the vehicle compartment numbers “1”, “2”, “3”, “4” are assigned to the vehicle compartments 41, 42, 43, 44. Each is attached. The figure is a schematic diagram showing an example of a parking lot 4 according to the second embodiment. This cabin number is, for example, painted white on asphalt. In this embodiment, a vehicle room number is assigned to each reserved vehicle (vehicle with parking reservation), and when the reserved vehicle enters the vehicle, the corresponding vehicle number is notified to the driver (for example, a patient). It is.

  As illustrated in FIG. 12, the server device 2 ′ of the present embodiment includes a vehicle room assignment unit 28. This figure is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the parking lot management apparatus 1 ′ of the second embodiment, and the same reference numerals are given to the same configurations as the parking lot management apparatus 1 illustrated in FIG. . When the above-mentioned parking lot reservation information includes information on the scheduled departure time in addition to the scheduled entry time, the compartment allocation unit 28 uses the scheduled departure time to use the compartments 41, 42, 43 and 44 are assigned. The vehicle compartment assignment unit 28 generates information relating to the assignment of the vehicle compartments 41, 42, 43, and 44 as a vehicle compartment number list 38b. The vehicle compartment number list 38b is such that the scheduled departure time and vehicle compartment number are further associated with the above-described patient ID, reservation number, and scheduled entry time (see FIG. 13). FIG. 13 is a table showing a configuration example of the passenger compartment number list 38b according to the second embodiment.

With reference to FIG. 14, a description will be given of the cabin allocation process by the parking lot management device 1 ′ having the above-described configuration. This figure is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the cabin allocation process by the parking lot management device 1 ′ of the second embodiment. The vehicle room allocating unit 28 refers to the parking space reservation database 26 and selects the parking space reservation information to which the vehicle room 41, 42, 43, 44 is not allocated, which has the earliest scheduled entry time (S21). ).
The vehicle room assignment unit 28 assigns a vehicle room number (for example, “1”) to the selected parking lot reservation information and registers it in the vehicle room number list 38b (S22).
The vehicle room allocation unit 28 substitutes the scheduled departure time of the parking lot reservation information to which the vehicle room number is allocated in step S21 into a temporary variable Syusya (departure) (S23).

If it is determined that there is parking reservation information later in the scheduled entry time than the temporary variable Sysya in the parking reservation database 26 (S24: YES), the vehicle room allocation unit 28 performs step S22 on the parking reservation information. The vehicle compartment number (for example, “1”) selected in (1) is assigned and registered in the vehicle compartment number list 38b (S25), and the scheduled departure time of this parking lot reservation information is substituted into the temporary variable Sysya (S26). ) Subsequently, the process of step S24 is executed.
On the other hand, when it is determined that there is no parking lot reservation information that is later than the temporary variable Syssia in the parking lot reservation database 26 (S24: NO), the vehicle room allocation unit 28 continues to execute the process of step S21. .

  The vehicle room assignment unit 28 repeatedly executes the processes of steps S21 to S26 until the vehicle room number is assigned to all the parking lot reservation information registered in the parking lot reservation database 26.

  The entry restriction based on the cabin number list 38b is executed by the control unit 38 of the gate control unit 3 '. When receiving the vehicle compartment number list 38b from the server device 2 ', the control unit 38 stores it in a predetermined storage unit (not shown). The control unit 38 inquires whether there is a parking reservation through the display unit 33, and if the patient ID input through the input unit 31b is registered in the vehicle room number list 38b, the control unit 38 sets the vehicle room number corresponding to the patient ID to the parking ticket. And a message for prompting parking to the passenger compartments 41, 42, 43, and 44 in which the passenger compartment number is painted is displayed on the display unit 33.

  In this embodiment, in order to secure the reserved vehicle compartments 41, 42, 43, 44, the scheduled entry time and the scheduled departure time of the parking lot reservation information registered in the parking lot reservation database 26 overlap. A vehicle room number is assigned so as not to become a notification, and the assigned vehicle room number is notified to the driver who reserved the parking lot 4. The driver who reserved the parking lot 4 parks the vehicle in the painted vehicle compartments 41, 42, 43, 44 of the designated vehicle compartment number.

  The parking lot management apparatus 1 ′ according to the present embodiment parks a reserved vehicle in a predetermined cabin based on a scheduled entry time and a scheduled departure time, while parking a non-reserved vehicle. Is parked in a vehicle compartment other than the vehicle compartment. Therefore, it is possible to reliably secure the passenger compartment of the reserved vehicle.
