Abstract

PURPOSE:To execute the exact control of a parking lot by processing a signal from a sensor, which is provided in respective parking blocks, and a block, which can not be temporarily used inputted by a keyboard with a signal processing means and informing the block which can not be temporarily used and parkable block. CONSTITUTION:The signals from sensors S1-Sn and the number of the parking block, which can not be temporarily used inputted by a keyboard 6 are processed by a signal processing means 4 and the condition of the parking block is always supervised. After a parking rate goes over a value set in advance, excepting for the block which can not be temporarily used, in case only one parking block is idle excepting for the block which can not be temporarily used, the idle parking block is selected. When the plural parking blocks are idle, any one of the blocks is selected. Next, the number of one parking block, in which the parking can be executed, is displayed on a display 3 together with the block which can not be temporarily used. Thus, the exact control of the parking lot can be executed.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention provides an indicator at the entrance of a parking lot, and the parking rate is set in advance, except for sections that cannot be used overnight due to construction etc. After the value has been exceeded, the above-mentioned display will display the numbers of temporarily unavailable spaces and available parking spaces excluding temporarily unavailable spaces to inform the driver of the vehicle about to enter the parking location. 'Regarding how to instruct.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in parking lots of supermarkets and the like, visitors either search for an empty parking lot on their own or are guided to an empty parking lot according to instructions from a parking lot manager.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

It is not easy to search for all available parking spaces during busy times or in parking lots with multiple floors, and the method of assigning a manager has the drawback of requiring more personnel.

This invention is intended to improve these problems.

[Means to solve the problem]

A sensor is installed in each parking lot to detect whether or not a car is parked, and an indicator is installed at the entrance of the parking lot.

In addition, a keyboard is provided to input the parking lot that is temporarily unavailable due to construction, etc., and the signal from the sensor and the number of the parking lot that is temporarily unavailable, entered using the keyboard, are processed by the signal processing means, and the parking lot is always parked in each parking lot. In addition to monitoring the situation, after the parking rate exceeds a preset value excluding temporarily unusable spaces, the display will display the numbers of temporarily unavailable spaces and available parking spaces. inform the driver of the vehicle you are about to enter.

[Effect]

The parking lot status is constantly monitored by processing sensor signals and numbers of temporarily unavailable parking bays entered using the keyboard using a signal processing means, and the parking rate is set in advance, excluding temporarily unavailable bays. After exceeding a certain value,
If only one parking lot is vacant, excluding the one that cannot be used temporarily, you can select that vacant parking lot, or if multiple parking lots are vacant, you can select any one parking lot and park. The number of one parking bay is displayed on the display together with the bay that is temporarily unavailable.

〔Example〕

Figure 1 schematically shows a parking lot, where P1 to pn are parking bays, and 81 to Sn are sensors (for example, metal detectors) installed in each parking bay to determine whether a car is parked or not. is detected and applied to the signal processing means.

C1 and C2 are cars, cl is the car parked in the parking lot, and C2 is the car that has arrived at the entrance (1) of the parking lot. (2) is the exit of the parking lot, and (3) is the 7'C indicator installed near the entrance (1).

Figure 2 (al) shows the relationship between the display unit (3) and its ancillary devices, and (4) shows the temporarily unavailable parking space input using the signals from the stations S1 to Sn and the keyboard described later. Based on the signal processing means that constantly monitors the parking status of each parking lot except for temporarily unavailable sections, the parking rate shown conveniently in the 2-circular graph G is a preset value. 9 For example, as shown by the diagonal lines in Figure WJ2 (BL), if it exceeds 75%, the two-dimensional visibility within the parking lot will be quite poor, so the following sections are temporarily unavailable to drivers trying to enter: Indicates available parking spaces excluding temporarily unusable spaces.In other words, when only one parking space is available as shown in Figure 2 (C'), that empty parking space is indicated, and the (If multiple parking spaces are available, such as in dl, select one of the parking spaces.

The output is given to the display (3) via the display control means (51) together with the temporarily unavailable section.

Reference numeral (6) denotes the above-mentioned keyboard, which is used to input parking spaces that are temporarily unavailable due to construction work, delivery, etc. into the signal processing means and take exclusion measures.

For example, if sections P9 to Pn are temporarily unavailable, input "at-" to exclude them from the available parking sections.

Figure 2 (θ) shows an example of display on one display (
In part (a) of the screen in 3), the number of the vacant section is displayed, and in the part (b) of the screen, the number of the section that is temporarily unavailable is displayed. For example, if P9 to Pn are temporarily unavailable, then P9 to
pn is displayed.

Therefore, the driver of a car attempting to enter can move his car to one available parking lot by looking at the displayed content.

In addition, in this invention, when a preset parking rate is exceeded, the display displays temporarily unusable spaces and parking spaces, so that when the parking rate is low, it is difficult to find a parking position. This is not a big problem, but as the parking rate increases, it becomes difficult to search by yourself.

Also, when multiple lots are vacant, selecting one is difficult because even if all vacant lots are displayed, it is not possible to tell the driver about all the vacant lots, and in reality it is difficult to select one. This is because it is sufficient to know which wards are vacant.

〔Effect of the invention〕

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to improve the conventional problems. Additionally, it is possible to accurately manage parking lots, including areas that are temporarily unavailable.

Claims (1)

[Claims] Each parking lot is equipped with a sensor to detect whether or not a car is parked, a display at the entrance to the parking lot, and a keyboard to input which parking lot is temporarily unavailable due to construction. As a result of processing the temporarily unusable spaces entered by the signal from the installed sensor and the keyboard using the signal processing means, the parking rate exceeds a preset value except for the temporarily unusable spaces. After that, if only one parking lot is vacant, select that vacant parking lot, or if multiple parking lots are vacant, select any one parking lot, and the above display will indicate the temporarily unavailable parking lot. The parking position is characterized in that the number of one available parking space is displayed together with the parking space to inform the driver of a car about to enter the parking lot of the space that is temporarily unavailable and the space that is available for parking.
