  Next, modes for carrying out the present invention (hereinafter, simply referred to as “embodiments”) will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a view of a specific vehicle parking space (P1 to P5) of a disabled parking space for use by a disabled person to which the parking system 10 is applied as viewed from above, and shows a state where there is no parked vehicle. It is shown. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a state in which a plurality of vehicles (C1 to C4) are parked in FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the parking system 10 as seen from the side in FIG. FIG. 4 shows an appearance of a structure (control pillars 30 and 30a and warning plate 60) provided in the parking space. FIG. 5 is a functional block diagram of the parking system 10.

  The parking system 10 has a function of determining whether or not a vehicle parked in the specific vehicle parking spaces P1 to P5 is a vehicle that is originally supposed to be used, that is, whether or not the vehicle is a predetermined registered vehicle. .

  Here, specific vehicle parking spaces P1 to P5 for five vehicles are provided, and a mark indicating that each is a parking space for a physically disabled person is provided.

  The loop coil 20 is embedded under the mark for persons with physical disabilities in the specific vehicle parking spaces P1 to P5, and when the vehicle is parked in the specific vehicle parking spaces P1 to P5, the fact is detected and parked. A detection result is output to the control box 40 which manages the system 10 in an integrated manner.

  Further, control pillars 30 and 30a and a warning plate 60 are provided at the back of the parking space (on the right side in FIGS. 1 and 2). Here, the control box 30 connected to all the control pillars 30 and 30a is attached to the control pillar 30a of the parking space P5 for specific vehicles of FIG. 1 and FIG. Moreover, as shown in FIG.4 (c), the warning plate 60 which shows that it is the specific vehicle parking spaces P1-P5 (exclusive parking lot) is provided in the control pillars 30 and 30a side.

  Specifically, in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the control pillars 30 of the four left-side specific vehicle parking spaces P1 to P4 are, as shown in FIG. 4A, the pillars 35 and the keys provided on the side surfaces of the pillars 35. A switch 31 and a speaker 33 and an indicator lamp 32 attached to the upper end of the column 35 are provided. In addition, a mark 36 indicating that the parking space is for a handicapped person is drawn immediately above the key switch 31 in the support column 35.

  Authentication is performed by inserting a predetermined key around the key switch 31. After authentication, the key can be extracted. If not authenticated, a predetermined warning is output from the speaker 33 for a predetermined period after a certain period has elapsed since parking. The indicator light 32 lights up in “blue” when each of the specific vehicle parking spaces P1 to P5 is available in an empty state, and lights up in “red” when the vehicle is parked in an authenticated state. Lights “flashing blue” in the unwarned warning state.

  The control column 30a of the specific vehicle parking space P5 is a control of the four specific vehicle parking spaces P1 to P4 on the left side, except that the control box 40 is attached, as shown in FIG. 4B. The function of the pillar 30 is the same.

  The control box 40 includes a system control unit 41, a loop sensor control unit 42, and a storage unit 43. The loop sensor control unit 42 acquires the output of the loop coil 20 and detects whether or not the vehicle is parked in the specific vehicle parking spaces P1 to P5, that is, in the space above the loop coil 20.

  The storage unit 43 stores in advance the time to start and end the voice warning operation, such as the time to start the voice warning from the detection by the loop sensor control unit 42 and the time to start the voice warning after starting the voice warning.

  The system control unit 41 acquires the above-described operation on the key switch 31 and performs authentication. Further, the lighting control of the indicator lamp 32 and the predetermined operation time from the storage unit 43 are acquired, and the sound warning output by the speaker 33 is controlled. Alternatively, the lighting time of each operation of the indicator lamp 32 may be stored in the storage unit 43 in advance, and lighting control based on the lighting time of the indicator lamp 32 may be performed.

  In addition, when the control device 40 is connected to the control device 40 constituted by an external personal computer or the like, the control box 40 can perform operation settings of the indicator lamp 32, the speaker 33, and the like, a usage status analysis process, and the like.

  For example, as an operation setting, it can be assumed that the period until a warning is actually output from the speaker 33 in a state where the vehicle is parked and detected and is not authenticated is assumed depending on weather conditions. In the case of rain, it can be assumed that it will take a long time from parking to the end of authentication. Therefore, the process of detecting the vehicle and outputting sound normally after 1 minute is performed. There is a setting to change to. Also, depending on the region, when there is a lot of snow in winter, it can be assumed that it takes a long time until authentication even in fine weather. Therefore, the setting can be changed according to the weather, region, and time using the management device 50.

  Furthermore, it is possible to set the sensing sensitivity of the loop coil 20, set the operation time zone, set the sound warning volume, and the like. These settings are recorded in the storage unit 43 as statistical data of operational results, such as user behavior, weather, and date / time, etc., associated with the elapsed time from entry to exit, such as the time from vehicle detection to key operation. Then, the operation performance statistical data recorded in the storage unit 43 may be transferred from the system control unit 41 to the management device 50, and analyzed by the management device 50 to determine the set time of each function. In addition, the system control unit 41 may be provided with a learning function that automatically optimizes settings based on statistical data of operation results (operation status) reflecting data such as weather, seasons, and time zones. .

  As for data acquisition such as weather, a known meteorological instrument may be provided in the specific vehicle parking spaces P1 to P5 and acquired in real time with the control box 40, or from a public or private predetermined organization. It is also possible to obtain and use separately published data. In this case, the weather data is also reflected in the statistical data.

  Next, authentication processing and warning processing by the parking system 10 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In the parking system 10, when the system is activated (turned on), the system control unit 41 lights the indicator light 32 in “blue” (S <b> 10).

  The system control unit 41 determines whether or not the vehicle is stopped in the specific vehicle parking spaces P1 to P5 based on the sensing result of the loop coil 20 (S12). If the vehicle is not stopped (N in S12), the determination process is continued.

  If it is determined that the vehicle is stopped (Y in S12), the system control unit 41 changes the indicator lamp 32 to “blue blinking” (S14).

  Subsequently, the system control unit 41 detects whether a key is inserted into the key switch 31 and turned, thereby determining whether the user is a dedicated key holder, that is, whether the vehicle is a proper authentication target vehicle. Is determined (S16).

  When operated by the holder of the dedicated key (Y in S16), the system control unit 41 changes the indicator light 32 from “blue flashing” to “red” (S18). Thereafter, the system control unit 41 determines whether or not the vehicle is stopped in the specific vehicle parking spaces P1 to P5 based on the sensing result of the loop coil 20 (S20). That is, it is determined whether or not the stopped vehicle has left the specific vehicle parking spaces P1 to P5. If the vehicle is stopped (Y in S20), the determination process is continued. When it is determined that the vehicle has left (N in S20), the process returns to S10, and the system control unit 41 turns on the indicator lamp 32 in “blue” (S10).

  When it is not operated by the holder of the dedicated key (N in S16), the system control unit 41 stops the vehicle in the specific vehicle parking spaces P1 to P5 based on the sensing result of the loop coil 20. It is continuously determined whether or not (S22). If it is determined that the vehicle has left (N in S22), the process returns to S10, and the system control unit 41 turns on the indicator lamp 32 in “blue” (S10).

  When the vehicle is stopped (Y in S22), the system control unit 41 checks whether or not a predetermined warning start time, for example, 1 minute has elapsed since the vehicle stopped (S24). If the warning start time has not elapsed (N in S24), the process returns to S16. When the warning start time has elapsed (Y in S24), the system control unit 41 starts an audio warning from the speaker 33 (S26).

  Subsequently, the system control unit 41 detects whether or not an operation by a dedicated key holder is performed (S28). When detected (Y of S28), the system control unit 41 cancels the warning by the sound from the speaker 33 (S30).

  When the operation with the dedicated key is not detected (N in S28), the system control unit 41 continues the warning by the sound from the speaker 33 and, based on the sensing result of the loop coil 20, the specific vehicle parking space P1. It is determined whether the vehicle is stopped at ~ P5 (S32). When it is determined that the vehicle is away (N in S32), the system control unit 41 cancels the warning by the sound from the speaker 33 (S33), returns to the process of S10, and turns on the indicator light 32 in “blue” (S10). ).

  When the vehicle is stopped (Y in S32), the system control unit 41 determines whether or not a warning release time by voice, for example, 5 minutes has elapsed (S34). If the warning release time by voice has not elapsed (N in S34), the process returns to S28, and the system control unit 41 continues the detection process as to whether or not an operation by a dedicated key holder is performed ( S28).

  When the release time of the voice warning has elapsed (Y in S34), the system control unit 41 releases the voice warning (S36). If the voice warning is continued, trouble may occur between a manager who is a user who is accidentally forgotten to use the key or a non-target person who is not willing to comply. Therefore, the voice warning is set to be canceled after the voice warning is given for a certain period. Even after the voice warning is canceled, the lighting state of the indicator lamp 32 is not changed and remains “flashing blue”, so that it can be determined that it is illegal use. However, when authentication processing is performed by an administrator or the like, the lighting of the indicator lamp 32 is changed to “red”.

  When the warning by voice is canceled (S36), the system control unit 41 proceeds to the process of S20 described above, and the vehicle stops in the specific vehicle parking spaces P1 to P5 based on the sensing result of the loop coil 20. It is determined whether or not (S20).

  As mentioned above, according to this embodiment, it can reduce that a non-target vehicle is parked in parking spaces P1-P5 for specific vehicles. Since the non-target vehicle is not excluded by the physical structure such as the gate, it cannot be completely excluded, but it effectively notifies the sensible person that it is the specific vehicle parking space P1 to P5. Yes, certain people who receive warnings will move quickly from that location. In addition, since the voice warning is canceled after a certain period, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of trouble as described above.

  In addition, since a physical key is inserted and turned to the key switch 31 for authentication, even a user who is unfamiliar with the wireless authentication technology, there is no psychological burden, and the battery may run out. Easy to use and manage. Moreover, since the loop coil 20 embed | buried as a vehicle detection means is used, when the said technique is applied outdoors in a winter snowfall area, the situation where it cannot operate can be avoided.

  The present invention has been described based on the embodiments. This embodiment is an exemplification, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to the combination of each component and processing process, and such modifications are also within the scope of the present invention. For example, the loop coil 20 is exemplified as the vehicle detection means, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a detection means using a camera and an image recognition device, or a detection means using ultrasonic waves or infrared rays may be used.
