Abstract

PURPOSE:To utilize parking space efficiently without employing dispatchers by providing a tag on which vehicle information is written, an information reader for reading the information, a positioning device for determining positions through the analysis of the information, and a guide display panel for displaying the positions. CONSTITUTION:A tag 2 on which vehicle information is written is attached to a vehicle 1. As the vehicle 1 approaches a gate 3, data is transferred between an antenna 4 and the tag 2. The information is read by a tag information reader 5 and transferred to a vehicle guidance controller 6. Next, the vehicle guidance controller 6 consults a vehicle data file 7 to determine an optimum parking platform number. Then a gate drive B opens the gate 3 while a guide display panel 9 is lighted to display the number. A parking garage can therefore be used effectively without increasing the number of dispatchers.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle guidance device for reading contact information of a tag in a non-contact manner and displaying an optimum parking position based on the information written in the tag.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in order to make effective use of a parking space in a parking lot, a dispatcher has instructed an optimal parking position to those who use the parking lot after taking into consideration the vehicle type and the like. Then, the user moves the car to the designated space and parks it there. For example, unloading by the type of intruder's industry (for example, in the case of a postal delivery / delivery field at a post office delivery / delivery area, a local delivery / delivery delivery to the authorities from outside the city, or delivery / delivery in truck transportation), or If the place to load is different, such as a parking lot or platform, you need to receive instructions each time.

[0003]

However, such a conventional method has a problem that a vehicle dispatch staff is always required, and the parking space cannot be used efficiently when the staff cannot be secured. As a method of not attaching staff to the parking lot, it is conceivable to determine the parking position by contacting the office etc. by radio, but in any case it was necessary to ask the parking place from others.

The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and is to enable efficient use of a parking space without placing a dispatcher.

[0005]

In order to solve such a problem, the present invention provides a tag in which vehicle information is written, a tag information reading device for reading the information of the tag in a non-contact manner, and the reading thereof. An optimal parking position determination device that analyzes the obtained information and determines the optimal parking position, and a guide display plate that displays the determined optimal parking position are provided.

[0006]

When the vehicle reaches the vicinity of the antenna, data about the vehicle is transferred from the tag provided on the vehicle, and the optimal parking position is determined by the vehicle guidance control device based on the data and the data stored in the vehicle data file. It is displayed on the parking platform information display board.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.
A tag 2 in which vehicle information such as the vehicle number of the vehicle is written is attached to the vehicle 1, for example, on the roof, and when the vehicle 1 approaches the gate 3, data transfer is performed between the antenna 4 and the tag 2. Then, the information of the tag 2 is read by the tag information reading device and transferred to the vehicle guidance control device 6. The tag is a transponder in an ID system that uses wireless, and by using a wireless tag, it is batteryless, more economical than a wireless device, and maintenance-free.

The vehicle guidance control device 6 refers to the vehicle data file 7 to determine the optimum parking platform number, the gate opening / closing device 8 opens the gate, and the parking platform guide display plate 9 corresponds to the optimum parking position. The platform number to be displayed is lit, and the parking permission lamp 10 on the platform is changed from red to blue to indicate that parking is possible.

The user only has to move the car according to the display of the parking platform guide display board 9, and the use efficiency of the parking space is better than the self-stop system. Further, the vehicle data file 7 corresponds to the vehicle type of each company Which parking position stores the optimum parking position, and the vehicle guidance device 6 searches for the optimum parking space from the data and the information of the tag information reading device, and the conditions such as the contents of the cargo. Can be decided in consideration of.

[0010]

As described above, the present invention compares the data read by the tag attached to the vehicle in a non-contact manner from the tag relating to the vehicle with the stored data in the vehicle data file on the parking lot side to determine the state of loading. Since the optimum parking position is determined in consideration of information such as the vehicle type and the like, it is possible to stop the parking position at the optimum parking position without increasing the number of dispatch workers, and it is possible to effectively use the parking lot.
