Description

  The present invention relates to a parking / parking position guidance system, a parking / parking position guidance method, a center device, and a parking / parking position guidance device, and when a destination of a car navigation system is set, a parking available position often used near the destination. And a technique for proposing a stoppable position.

  When going to the destination by using the car navigation system, the point to be guided when there is no parking lot at the destination itself is a position near the destination where parking is possible or a position where parking is possible.

In the conventional car navigation system, when a facility with a large-scale parking lot is set as the destination, the parking lot of the facility is the guide destination, but when the destination is a facility other than that, the facility is the guide destination. However, since the presence or absence of a parking lot at the facility is not considered, there are the following problems.
(1) Drive to the destination by car navigation.
(2) Upon arriving at the destination, it is determined that there is no parking lot at the destination, and the parking lot is set as the destination using the parking search of the car navigation system. Alternatively, a parking lot is searched without guidance from a car navigation system.

  In order to be able to search for parking lots, it is necessary to constantly monitor the installation status of parking lots nationwide and constantly update car navigation information, which requires a great deal of labor. For this reason, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for acquiring nationwide available parking positions.

  Patent Literature 2 describes that a navigation device detects that a vehicle is parked within a predetermined range from a destination, and determines that a server is a parking lot corresponding to the destination.

  In Patent Literature 3, the server collects parking information from a plurality of vehicles, totals the parking time and the total number of parkings for each section divided by a plurality of small sections of the map, and generates parking ranking information indicating the order of the sections. There is a description of generating.

  Patent Literature 4 discloses a management unit that extracts a parking lot located in a certain range when a server receives a search reference address, and specifies a movement route of a mobile terminal based on a positional relationship between terminal location information and a search reference address. There is a description that the priority score of each extracted parking lot is calculated and the parking lot is determined based on the section and the distance from the movement route of each parking lot.

Patent Literature 1 aims to “easily determine a position where parking is possible” and uses a technique of “a computer determines that a point where the vehicle stops for a predetermined time or more is a parking capable facility where a vehicle can park”. Therefore, there are the following problems.
(A) Since the relationship between the parking position and the destination is not taken into account, it is necessary to perform a parking lot search near the destination for "navigation to a destination having no parking lot" as in the related art.
(B) Since the stopable position for the purpose of "stopping for a short time, stopping for getting on / off of a person and loading / unloading luggage" cannot be grasped, it cannot be used for guidance for the purpose of stopping.
(C) It is not known whether the parking position is actually available because the “unspecified parking lot is open to the public” is not considered (for example, it is determined that a monthly parking lot can be parked). ).

Patent Documents 2 to 4 do not disclose any technique for solving the above problem, particularly, the problem (b).

It is a block diagram showing the parking and stopping position guidance system of one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of the vehicle in FIG. 1. FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of a center device in FIG. 1. 2 is a flowchart showing an operation of the parking / stopping position guidance system shown in FIG. 1. It is a figure showing an example of a display screen of a display part of destination guidance part 105 of a parking and stopping position guidance device. It is a figure showing an example of a display screen of a display part of destination guidance part 105 of a parking and stopping position guidance device. It is a figure showing an example of a display screen of a display part of destination guidance part 105 of a parking and stopping position guidance device.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a parking and stopping position guidance system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the parking / stop position guidance system according to the present embodiment includes vehicles 11, 12, 13 and a center device 15, and the vehicles 11, 12, 13 and the center device 15 are connected by a communication network 14. .

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the vehicle of FIG. FIG. 2 shows the configuration of the vehicle 11, but the vehicles 12, 13 also have a similar configuration. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the vehicle 11 stores a transmitting / receiving unit 101 that transmits and receives information to and from the center device 15 via the communication network 14, a parking / stop detecting unit 103 that detects parking and stopping of the vehicle 11, and vehicle information. A storage unit 104, a destination guidance unit 105 that transmits a signal indicating the destination and the current position of the vehicle, while transmitting the route to the input destination and the current position of the vehicle detected by the GPS by image and voice, The control unit 102 includes a transmission / reception unit 101, a parking / stop detection unit 103, a storage unit 104, and a destination guidance unit 105. The vehicle information stored in the storage unit 104 includes, for example, distinction between private use and business use, vehicle width, vehicle height and other dimensions, distinction between large vehicles, ordinary vehicles, and mini vehicles, chassis numbers, and the like. The transmission / reception unit 101, the control unit 102, and the destination guidance unit 105 constitute a parking / stop position guidance device. The parking position guidance device is generally known as a car navigation device. The parking / stop position guidance device may include the storage unit 104.

The parking / stop detection unit 103 includes an engine monitoring unit that detects an engine stop for a certain period of time or more, a door opening / closing detection unit that detects opening / closing of a door, and an in-vehicle weight detection unit that detects a change in the in-vehicle weight.
The parked / stopped detection unit 103 serves as a detection unit that detects whether the vehicle is parked or stopped when the vehicle is stopped. Parking detection is performed using an engine monitoring unit, and stopping detection is performed using a door open / close detection unit and a vehicle-mounted weight detection unit. For example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2005-257451 describes that the on-vehicle weight detector includes a sensor that detects a length of a coil spring that expands and contracts a suspension connected to wheels of a vehicle, and a sensor that detects a length of the coil spring output from the sensor. Thus, an arithmetic and control unit having a weight conversion unit for calculating the weight of the load on the vehicle can be used.

  The engine monitoring unit has a timer, starts the timer when the engine is stopped, detects the elapsed time when the engine is started thereafter by the timer, and instructs the control unit 102 to start and stop the parking and stop times (or stop and stop the vehicle). End time). The control unit 102 determines that the vehicle is parked when the elapsed time from the stop of the engine exceeds a predetermined time. Note that the engine monitoring unit sends a detection signal to the control unit 102 when the engine is stopped and thereafter when the engine is started, and the control unit 102 detects an elapsed time from when the engine is stopped to when the engine is started, and It may be determined that the vehicle is parked when the time exceeds a certain time.

  The door opening / closing detecting section detects opening / closing of the door and sends a detection signal to the control section 102. The in-vehicle weight detection unit sends a detection signal to the control unit 102 when the weight change amount is equal to or more than a certain value (for example, a weight change amount of 40 kg or more). The in-vehicle weight detection unit may send the weight change amount to the control unit 102, and the control unit 102 may determine whether the weight change amount is equal to or more than a certain value (for example, a weight change amount of 40 kg or more). The control unit 102 stops the vehicle, the engine monitoring unit does not detect the engine stop (the engine is running), the door is opened and closed by the detection signal from the door open / close detection unit, and the If there is a detection signal, it is determined that the vehicle is stopped.

  The control unit 102 detects parking based on a detection signal from the engine monitoring unit, and detects stoppage based on detection signals from the engine monitoring unit, the door open / close detection unit, and the on-vehicle weight detection unit.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, regardless of whether or not to leave the car, the engine is stopped, parking is performed when a certain time or more has elapsed, and the vehicle is stopped and the engine is running, The vehicle stops when there is a change in the opening and closing of the door and the weight of the vehicle. However, parking and stopping are not limited to such definitions, and may be defined separately. For example, Patent Literature 3 describes that parking refers to a state in which the engine is stopped, and stopping refers to a state in which the engine is moving while not moving (paragraph 0015). In addition, the Road Traffic Act (Article 2.1, Nos. 18 and 19) states that parking (No. 18) means "vehicles, etc. must be continuously stopped due to customer waiting, cargo waiting, unloading of cargo, breakdown, or other reasons. (Excluding stoppages for loading and unloading cargo within a period not exceeding 5 minutes and stoppages for getting on and off persons), or persons who stop vehicles and drive such vehicles ( (Hereinafter referred to as "driver") is in a state where the driver cannot leave the vehicle or the like and immediately drive. "The stop is" other than parking when the vehicle or the like stops. " The Road Traffic Law does not specify whether the engine should be stopped. Parking and stopping may be defined using the definition defined in Patent Document 3 and the definition defined in the Road Traffic Act (Article 2.1, Nos. 18 and 19).

When detecting the parking or stopping, the control unit 102 receives the current position information of the vehicle detected by the GPS from the destination guidance unit 105, reads the vehicle information from the storage unit 104, and determines whether the vehicle is parked or stopped. The information and the current position information of the vehicle are transmitted to the center device 15 via the transmission / reception unit 101 together with the vehicle information. Here, the vehicle information is included as information to be transmitted to the center device 15 in order to classify an available parking position and an unusable parking position, and the like. If such classification is not performed, It does not have to be included in the information to be transmitted.
The parking / stopping start time and the parking / stopping time (or the parking / stopping end time) may be sent to the center device 15 for calculating the parking / stoppable time zone.

Since the control unit detects whether the vehicle is parked or stopped, the information related to the determination of parking or stopping is information indicating whether the vehicle is parked or stopped. In step 15, it is not necessary to determine whether the vehicle is parked or stopped. However, the control unit sends the detection signal (the detection signal from the engine monitoring unit, the door opening / closing detection unit, and the detection signal from the vehicle weight detection unit) from the parking / stop detection unit 103 to the center device 15 as it is, and determines whether the center device 15 is parked or stopped. You may decide. In this case, the information regarding the determination of parking or stopping is a detection signal from the parking / stop detecting unit 103. In this case, the engine monitoring unit sends only the parking start time and the parking stop time (or the parking end time) to the control unit 102. Then, the control unit 102 sends the information to the center device 15, and the center device 15 determines whether the vehicle is stopped or parked.
In the following description, it is assumed that the information regarding the determination as to whether the vehicle is parked or stopped is information indicating whether the vehicle is parked or stopped (that is, the control unit determines whether the vehicle is parked or stopped).

  The destination guidance unit 105 detects the position of the vehicle by GPS (the destination guidance unit 105 has a means for detecting the position), and when the operator inputs a destination, the destination guidance unit 105 The route and the current position of the vehicle detected by the GPS are displayed on the screen, the traveling direction of the vehicle is displayed on the screen by voice, and the voice is transmitted as necessary. Further, the destination guide unit 105 sends a signal indicating the destination and the current position of the vehicle to the control unit 102.

  The control unit 102 receives a signal indicating the destination and the current position of the vehicle. When the distance between the destination and the current position of the vehicle falls within a certain distance, the control unit 102 receives a signal from the engine monitoring unit. When parking is detected or when a stop is detected by detection signals from the engine monitoring unit, the door opening / closing detection unit, and the on-vehicle weight detection unit, the current position information is used as the current position information of the vehicle corresponding to the destination, and the vehicle is parked or stopped. This information is transmitted to the center device 15 via the transmission / reception unit 101 together with information indicating the destination, the destination information, and the vehicle information. The parking / stopping start time and the parking / stopping time (or the parking / stopping end time) may be sent to the center device 15 for calculating the parking / stoppable time zone.

  Although the destination guide unit 105 transmits the current position information of the vehicle, even if the vehicle does not have the destination guide unit 105, if the center device can receive the current position information from the vehicle, the vehicle position is determined to be the stopable position or the parking position. There is an advantage that it can be determined whether or not the vehicle can be stopped. Therefore, any device that can detect the current position information may be used, and the destination guidance unit 105 may not be provided.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the center device of FIG. The center device shown in FIG. 3 shows the configuration of the center device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

  The center device 15 transmits and receives information to and from the vehicles 11 to 13 via a communication network, a parking / stop position database 203, a parking / stop position classification unit 204 and a parking / stop position search unit 205, a transmission / reception unit 201, a parking / stop unit. The control unit 202 includes a position database 203, a parking / stopping position classification unit 204, and a parking / stopping position search unit 205.

  The center device 15 receives information indicating whether the vehicle is parked or stopped, the current position information of the vehicle, the vehicle information, the parking start time and the parking stop time (or the parking stop time) from the vehicle via the transmission / reception unit 201. Or information indicating whether the vehicle is parked or stopped, current position information of the vehicle, destination information, vehicle information, a parking start / stop time, and a parking stop time (or a parking end time). The control unit 202 sends the received information to the parking / stop position classification unit 204, and the parking / stop position classification unit 204 performs the following processing based on the received information. Here, the information received by the center device 15 includes vehicle information, parking / stopping time, and parking / stopping time (or parking / stopping time), but these information may not be transmitted from the vehicle. Also, even if such information is received, the available parking and stopping positions are not classified into the unusable parking and stopping positions, and if the calculation of the available parking and stopping time zone is not performed, the information may be discarded. Good. Further, the use frequency need not be totalized.

(Process 1) Classification of whether the vehicle position is a stoppable position or a parkable / stoppable position Information indicating whether the vehicle is parked or stopped and the current position information of the vehicle, or information indicating parking or stopped and the current position of the vehicle corresponding to the destination Based on the information, the vehicle is classified as a stoppable position or a parkable stop position. If only a possible position indicating stopping multiple times at the same position is received, and a parking available position is not received, the vehicle position can be determined as a stopping available position where only stopping is possible, and a parking available position multiple times at the same position, or If the parkable position and the stoppable position are received, the vehicle position can be determined as the parkable stoppage position. In this way, the classification of whether the vehicle position is the stoppable position or the parkable stop position is performed.

  When the center device 15 determines whether the vehicle is parked or stopped, the parking / stop position classification unit 204 detects the detection signal from the parking / stop detection unit 103 (from the engine monitoring unit, the door open / close detection unit, and the vehicle weight detection unit). After determining whether the vehicle is parked or stopped based on the detection signal), the vehicle is classified into a stoppable position and a parkable / stoppable position.

(Process 2) Use frequency aggregation Based on the information indicating parking or stopping and the current position information of the vehicle, or the information indicating parking or stopping and the current position information of the vehicle corresponding to the destination, the parking or stopping of the same position is determined. The number of times is checked, and the use frequency of the same position is incremented. This use frequency can be used to improve the accuracy of classification of whether the vehicle position is a stoppable position or a parkable stoppage position. For example, even if only information indicating a stop is received, an illegal stop may be included, so that a stop can be performed if a certain number of stops have occurred during a certain period (for example, one week). The position can be determined to be accurate and the accuracy can be improved. Even if information indicating parking or information indicating parking and stopping is received, illegal parking may be included in the same manner, so parking more than a certain number of times during a certain period (for example, one week) If there is, it can be determined that the position can be parked and the accuracy can be improved.

(Process 3) Classification of parking / stopping position The available parking / stopping position and the unusable parking / stopping position are classified. When it is determined that an unspecified number of vehicles (general vehicles) are parked or stopped based on information specifying a vehicle such as a chassis number in the vehicle information, the vehicle is determined to be an available parking / stop position. If the same vehicle has used a specific parking location for a certain period of time, such as one month or more, it is determined to be a private parking lot or monthly parking lot.If many business vehicles are parked and stopped, the It is determined that these are parking lots, and these are determined to be parking / stop positions where general vehicles cannot be used. If the destination is not set even though the distance from the destination is short, the destination is a parking lot that is inconvenient for traffic to the destination or cannot be used as a parking lot for the destination. Judgment is made at an unusable parking / parking position in a specialty store or restaurant dedicated parking lot.

  Note that the vehicle information can be used to improve the accuracy of classification of a stoppable position or a parkable stop position. For example, even if many vehicles stop, if the vehicle is a business vehicle that stops in front of a store to purchase a product, a general vehicle may not be able to stop.

(Process 4) Update of parking / stoppable time zone The parking / stoppable time information is updated based on the parking / stopping start time and the parking / stopping time with respect to the parking / stopping position.

  After the data processing of the above-described processing 1 to processing 4, the parking / stop position classification unit 204 includes information indicating whether or not the vehicle can be stopped only, or whether or not the vehicle can be stopped and parked, and the vehicle position (parking / stop position). ), Information indicating the frequency of use, the available parking / stopping position or the unavailable parking / stopping position (vehicles that can be parked / stopped), and the possible parking / stopping time zone, and storing them in the parking / stopping position database 203.

  When the parking / parking position search unit 205 receives information indicating whether the vehicle is parked or stopped, the destination, the vehicle information, and the estimated arrival time from the vehicle via the transmission / reception unit 201, the parking / parking position database 203 based on the information. Search for a parking / stop position where the vehicle can be used, a parking / stop position where the vehicle can be parked or stopped at the estimated time of arrival, a parking / stop position close to the destination (for example, within 300 m from the destination), A high parking / stop position is extracted and transmitted to the vehicle via the transmission / reception unit 201 as a parking / parking place candidate list. The estimated time of arrival can be input by the driver of the vehicle via the destination guidance unit 105, but may be calculated by the control unit 102 based on the distance between the destination and the current location of the vehicle.

  It should be noted that the parking / parking lot candidate list may be transmitted with priority as required. For example, the priority of a parking lot that is frequently used is made higher to extract the parking lot, or the parking lot near the destination is made higher, and the parking lot is extracted and transmitted as a parking candidate list. May be.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the parking / stop position guidance system shown in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Here, the parking / stop candidate list is requested from the vehicle 11 to the center device 15, and the information indicating whether the vehicle is parked or stopped and the current position information of the vehicle corresponding to the destination are transmitted from the vehicle 12 to the center device 15. The information including the information indicating whether the vehicle 13 is parked or stopped and the current position information of the vehicle are transmitted from the vehicle 13 to the center device 15.

  When the vehicle 12 detects parking or stopping at a destination or a parking lot around the destination, the current position information of the vehicle is displayed as information indicating whether the vehicle is parked or stopped, destination information, vehicle information, and parking start. The information is transmitted to the center device 15 together with the time and the parking time (step S120).

  When the vehicle 13 detects parking or stopping at a parking lot, the current position information of the vehicle is transmitted to the center device 15 together with information indicating whether the vehicle is parked or stopped, vehicle information, parking start time, and parking time. (Step S130).

  The center device 15 receives, from the vehicle 12, the current position information of the vehicle corresponding to the destination, the information indicating whether the vehicle is parked or stopped, the destination information, the vehicle information, the parking start time, and the parking time (step S151). ) Or when the vehicle 13 receives the current position information of the vehicle, information indicating whether the vehicle is parked or stopped, vehicle information, the parking start / stop time, and the parking stop time (step S150), the processing 1 to processing 4 described above are performed. Information indicating whether the vehicle can be stopped only where the vehicle can be parked, or whether the vehicle can be parked and parked, and the vehicle position, frequency of use, and whether the vehicle can be parked or parked or not parked. The information is linked with the parkable / stoppable time zone and registered in the parked / stopped position database (step S152).

  Table 1 is a table showing a table registered in the parking and stopping position database. The parking and stopping position is indicated by latitude and longitude, but the numerical value is shown as an example of the notation, and does not indicate the numerical value of the exact position. The arrows in Table 1 show an example of data update, but in fact, only the updated data is stored in the table. In Table 1, on March 8, 2013, a stop that was only permitted to stop was changed to a parking stop that can be parked and stopped on May 5, 2013, and the parking time was 900-20: 00 at 7:00. It has been extended to -22: 00, and the usage frequency has increased from 5,000 to 5,500.

  When the vehicle 11 transmits the information indicating whether the vehicle is parked or stopped, the destination, the vehicle information, and the estimated arrival time to the center device 15 (step S153), the center device 15 searches the parking and stopping position database based on the information. Then, at a parking / stop position where the vehicle can be used, a parking / stop position where the vehicle can be parked or stopped at the estimated arrival time, a parking / stop position close to the destination (for example, within 300 m from the destination), and a frequently used parking location. The stop position is extracted and transmitted to the vehicle 11 as a parking / stop candidate list (step S154).

  The vehicle 11 displays the received parking / parking lot candidate list on the display unit of the destination guidance unit 105 of the parking / parking position guidance device. A map around the destination is displayed on the display unit, and a parking or stopping place where parking or stopping is possible is displayed on the map (step S112).

  FIG. 5 to FIG. 7 are diagrams illustrating an example of a display screen of the display unit of the destination guidance unit 105 of the parking / stop position guidance device. FIG. 5 shows a screen when inputting an instruction of parking or stopping in step S111 of FIG. 4, FIG. 6 shows a screen in which a stoppable position is displayed on a map in step S112, and FIG. 7 shows a screen in step S112. 5 shows a screen on which a position where parking is possible is displayed on a map. FIGS. 6 and 7 show the destination, the current position of the vehicle, and the stop or parking position. A stop or parking position close to the destination is shown as a recommended stop or parking position. As is clear from the comparison between FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, in FIG. 6, the position where parking is possible in FIG. 7 is not used for the purpose of stopping, and another position is shown as a recommended stopping position. .

  Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, some or all of the control unit 202, the parking / stopping position classification unit 204, and the parking / stopping position search unit 205 shown in FIG. It may be configured, configured by software, or configured by a combination of hardware and software. When configured by hardware, part or all of the control unit 202, the parking / stopping position classification unit 204, and the parking / stopping position search unit 205 may be, for example, an LSI (Large Scale Integrated circuit), an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), and a gate. It can be composed of an integrated circuit (IC) such as an array or an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array).

  A part or all of the functions of each part can be realized by a computer reading a program for realizing the function from a computer-readable recording medium such as a CD-ROM, a DVD, or a flash memory and executing the program.

  For example, a computer serving as a packet aggregation device is configured by a storage unit such as a hard disk and a ROM, a display unit such as a liquid crystal display, a program storing a program, a DRAM storing data necessary for calculation, a CPU, and a bus connecting each unit. be able to. A part or all of the operations of the control unit 202, the parking / stopping position classification unit 204, and the parking / stopping position search unit 205 shown in FIG.
