Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is applicable to a parking lot after the parking rate exceeds a preset value, excluding sections that are temporarily unavailable due to construction, delivery, etc. Parking location instructions that notify the driver of a car attempting to enter at the entrance of a parking lot of temporarily unusable bays and vacant parking bay numbers excluding temporarily unusable bay 4 using an in-vehicle radio and display. Regarding the method.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, in parking lots such as supermarkets, two-person cars either have to leave their cars completely naked in an empty parking lot, or are guided to an empty parking lot according to instructions from the parking lot manager.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

It is not easy to find an empty parking lot during busy times or in multi-story parking lots, and the method of assigning a manager has the drawback of requiring a lot of manpower.

This invention is intended to improve these problems.

c! l! Measures to solve the problem] Sensors to detect whether cars are parked in each parking lot, and audio output devices (main components are speakers), transmitters, and transmitters installed at predetermined positions in the parking lot. In addition to installing an antenna, a display device is installed at the entrance of the parking lot, and a gold film is also installed at the entrance of the parking lot to detect vehicles entering the parking lot, and a keyboard is also installed to enter the number of the section that is temporarily unavailable due to construction. , after the number of the sensor and the number of the unusable lot inputted by the keyboard are processed by the signal processing means, and the parking rate exceeds a preset value excluding the temporarily unusable lot.

A section that is temporarily unavailable at the time a person attempts to enter the driver of the table for 14 people.

All available parking spaces with gold lines that are temporarily unavailable will be notified via radio and signage.

[Effect]

As a result of processing the sensor signal and the number of unusable bays entered using the keyboard by a signal processing means, the parking rate will exceed a preset value, excluding the temporarily unusable bays, and then the temporarily unusable bays will be determined. The vehicle radio and display will notify eastbound drivers who are attempting to enter all parking spaces where the gold line is temporarily unavailable.

〔Example〕

Fig. 1 shows the parking lot manager's data, where P1 to Pn are old, car sections, and S1 to 5n1-1. A sensor (for example, a metal detector) installed in each parking lot detects whether a car is parked or not, and sends the information to the signal processing means.

C4 and C2 are cars, and C1 is a car already parked in the parking lot + C2Vi, which is at the entrance (1) of the parking lot and is about to enter. (
2) is an exit of the parking lot, and (3) is an audio output device provided at a predetermined position within the parking lot.

CS is an entering vehicle detection means, in which a light source (4) and a light receiver (5) are arranged facing each other with the entrance +i+ in between. Therefore, if 02 blocks the light generated from the light source (4), it is determined that the entering vehicle is at the entrance. Note that a detection signal (6) from the light receiver (5) is given to a gate passage and a transmitter, which will be described later. Figure 2 (&) shows the relationship between the audio output device J#tt3+ and its ancillary devices? (7) is the speaker, (8)
A, MP,! 91 is a voice synthesis output device, aI is the plurality of sensors S mentioned above, and signal processing means-4 connected to ~Sn is a keyboard for inputting information when a section is temporarily unavailable due to construction etc. The partition number entered into the signal processing means QO by the keyboard is excluded as a partition that is temporarily unavailable.

u9 is a transmitter that transmits the output of the audio output device (3), α
e is the transmitter rJ! The transmitting antenna connects to the il and transmits weak FM radio waves, and αη is the car's receiving antenna. (11
is on the radio in the car. The parking status of each parking lot is constantly monitored by the signal processing means diagram based on the signal from the valley sensor and the input sound from the keyboard side, and the parking rate (temporarily unavailable) is conveniently shown in the circular graph G. (excluding compartments)
For example, as shown by the diagonal line in Figure 2 (b) If there is a section that cannot be used temporarily or an empty section other than the section that cannot be used temporarily, the speech synthesis output device (9) converts it into the Kogokin voice of the section. C3 is a gate provided between the audio output device R (3) and the audio synthesis output device (9), and C3 is a gate provided between the audio synthesis output device (9) and the light receiver (5).
) The entering vehicle detection signal (6) generated from the input vehicle is input.

Therefore, if a car trying to enter a temporarily unavailable zone gold line reaches the entrance after the parking rate exceeds a preset value and is detected by the entering vehicle detection means CB, the temporary 1. The number of the vacant parking lot that is temporarily unavailable and the number of the vacant parking lot that is temporarily unavailable.1. It is transmitted via a transmitter and a transmitting antenna 8 and received by a radio in the car.

That is, there is no audio output when the vehicle attempting to enter is not occupied, and when there is a vehicle attempting to enter, the audio output is generated, transmitted, and received by the radio. When a driver hears about an empty parking lot on the radio, all he has to do is drive towards that lot, and there is no need to scour the parking lot, where visibility is poor and the parking rate is poor.

Note that if, for example, P, -pn are temporarily unavailable, P9 to Pn are entered using the keyboard (14), and 2, the signal processing means 011 takes exclusionary action as a temporarily unavailable section.

FIG. 3 (aJ is an embodiment of the present invention, in which the entire output of the speech synthesis output device (9) is displayed on the display device α after the parking rate exceeds a preset parking rate. , this display 1Jaffiai is placed, for example, near the entrance 11).

FIG. 3(b) is an example of the display on display 0, and in the part (a) of one screen, the numbers of vacant sections are shown, and il!
In the (cut part) of the i1 side, there is a temporary unusable section ((
If number is displayed. That is, for example, if P9-P is a section that cannot be used temporarily, the sections (B) are KP, ~K'. is displayed, or if no partition is temporarily unavailable, no partition number is displayed.

In this way, you can completely prevent overhearing from just listening to the radio.

It is particularly preferable to arrange the two display devices Fi 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, when a preset parking rate is exceeded, drivers of entering cars are informed of vacant spaces.The reason for this is that as the parking rate approaches 100%, the visibility inside the parking lot decreases. This is because it becomes difficult to find an empty plot.

〔Effect of the invention〕

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to completely improve the conventional problems. In addition, the parking lot can be managed accurately because the parking lot can be entered using the keyboard.
