Abstract

PURPOSE:To accurately manage a parking area by informing the number of a null parking section by radio via a transmission equipment when a parking ratio exceeds a preset value by processing a signal from a sensor and an input signal from a keyboard. CONSTITUTION:The parking status of each parking section is always monitored by processing the signal from the sensors S1-Sn and the input signal from the keyboard 8 by a signal processing means 7. When the parking ratio except for the section unusable transiently exceeds a prescribed value, the signal to convert the number of the null section into voice is outputted from a voice synthesis output device 6, and it is inputted to a speaker 4 via an amplifier 5. The output of the speaker 4 is supplied to the radio of a car intending to enter via the transmitter 9 and an antenna 10.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention is a method of parking in parking lots after the parking rate reaches a preset value, excluding sections that are temporarily unavailable due to construction, etc. To provide a method for indicating a parking position by informing a driver of a car intending to enter a parking lot of an available parking lot number by a car radio or by a radio and a display.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in parking lots such as supermarkets, 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 attendant.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

It is not easy to find an empty parking lot in a crowded parking lot or in a parking lot with multiple floors, and the method of assigning a manager to the parking lot requires a lot of manpower.

This invention is intended to improve these problems.

[The tth way to solve the problem]

A sensor is installed in each parking lot to detect whether or not a car is parked, and an audio output device is installed at a predetermined location in the parking lot.
The main components are a speaker), a transmitter, and a transmitting antenna, and a keyboard is provided to input the information when there is a section that is temporarily unavailable due to construction etc., and the signal from the above sensor and the input from the keyboard are input from the keyboard. The parking status of each parking lot can be monitored at all times by setting the lot number at an appropriate location adjacent to the audio output device or away from the audio output device and processing it with a signal processing means. After the parking rate exceeds a preset value, the driver is notified of the number of an empty parking lot via the radio.

[Effect]

As a result of processing the signals from the sensor and the input from the keyboard using the signal processing means, the parking rate is set in advance, excluding temporarily unusable spaces, and the empty parking spaces after exceeding fc('jJi) are determined. If you do so, inform the driver of the vehicle you are entering the parking lot of that lot number over the radio.

[Example of real power]

Figure 1 schematically shows a parking lot, where P1 to Pn are parking bays, and S+ to Sn are sensors (for example, metal detectors) installed in each parking bay to detect whether or not a car is parked. is detected and given to the signal processing means.
, c2 is a car, where cl is a car already parked in the parking lot, and c2 is a car already parked in the parking lot entrance (1
) shows cars that have reached. (2) is the exit of the parking lot,
(3) is an audio output device installed at an appropriate position in the parking lot.

Note that the transmitter and transmitting antenna are omitted in FIG.

(6) is a voice synthesis output device t; and +71 is a signal processing means connected to the plurality of sensors S1 to Sn. (8)
is a keyboard for inputting information when there is a section that cannot be used temporarily due to construction, etc., and this keyboard 18
) is excluded as a temporarily unusable section. (9) is a transmitter that transmits the audio output from the audio output device, tll is a transmitter that is connected to the transmitter (9), and transmits weak FM radio waves;
! D is the car's receiving antenna, and Q3 is the car's radio. The parking status of each parking lot is determined by the signal processing means (7) based on the signals from each sensor and the input from the keyboard (8).
The parking rate (excluding spaces that are temporarily unavailable) is constantly monitored and is shown in the circular graph G (excluding spaces that are temporarily unavailable). 75%
4, the two-dimensional visibility within the parking lot would be considerably impaired, so for vacant lots, the voice synthesis output device outputs a signal to convert the number of the lot into voice, and the signal is sent via AMP+5). given to the speaker (4). The output of the speaker (4) is then given to the radio of the car entering the parking lot via the transmitter and transmitting antenna. Therefore, the driver only has to move the car to the parking lot corresponding to the number that is played on the radio. Note 1: For example, if P9 to Pn are temporarily unavailable,
P9 to Pn are input from the keyboard (8), and the signal processing means (7) takes measures to exclude the partitions as they are temporarily unavailable.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the output of the voice synthesis output device (6) is also displayed on the display device (8) after a preset parking rate is reached. This display device (8) is located near the entrance (1) of the parking lot.

In this way, it is possible to prevent listening only to the radio.

Note that the second display device (8) must be placed at the entrance of the parking lot, but it goes without saying that other signal processing means and the like may be installed at other appropriate locations.

By the way, in this invention, the reason why the preset parking rate is compared and the driver is informed of vacant spaces through the radio is that as the parking rate approaches 100%, it becomes easier to search for a parking space in the parking lot. This is about to become difficult.

〔Effect of the invention〕

Since the present invention is as described below, it is possible to improve the conventional system. Alternatively, use the keyboard to temporarily select [Enter a section that cannot be used].

Since this is excluded, accurate parking lot management is possible.
