On the other hand, if the determination in step S24 is No, the processing unit 32 of the server 30 determines whether or not the "cancel" button 82 is touched in step S25. The determination of S25 is repeated.

When the "Cancel" button 82 is touched by the user and the determination in step S25 becomes Yes, the processing unit 32 of the server 30 stops the parking command output control itself in step S26, and ends the billing process.

When the billing in step S22 is completed, the processing unit 32 of the server 30, in step S13 of FIG. It is determined whether or not it has been pushed and moved to the parked position indicated by the parked road cone installation line (eg 14a). When the road cone button 25a is pressed and the road cone moves to the parking position, the determination becomes Yes and the process proceeds to S14. If the road cone has not moved to the parked position, the determination is No and the process of step S13 is repeated.

The processing unit 32 of the server 30 outputs the vehicle start command to the road cone 20 (for example, the road cone 20a) of the parking space (for example, the parking space 11a) in step S14 of FIG. 6, and ends the parking start command control. The road cone 20 of the parking space 11 to which the parking start command has been input outputs a voice saying "Parking will start now" from the speaker 24, and starts parking control in the parking fee course selected by the user.

The processing unit 32 of the server 30 sequentially transmits each instruction for parking instruction output control and the result of the billing process to the administrator terminal 52 . Thereby, the manager can recognize the operation status and sales of the parking space 11 in the parking lot 10 in real time.

(Termination Notice Processing) When the vehicle is parked in the parking space 11, the processing section 32 of the server 30 executes the termination notice processing, the procedure of which is shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the termination notice process is started, the processing unit 32 of the server 30 repeatedly determines at predetermined time intervals whether or not it is 10 minutes before the parking end time in step S31 of FIG. Then, when this determination becomes Yes, the processing unit 32 of the server 30 transmits the first end notice signal to the user terminal 51 via the Internet 60 in step S32.

As shown in FIG. 15, the user terminal 51 that has received the first end notice signal displays a message 91 "10 minutes before" on the screen 51a and a "parking end" button 92 on the screen 51a. and the ring tone sounds at a low volume.
