Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention is a parking lot that allows parking time etc. to be managed without using a parking ticket in a self-propelled parking lot or a surface parking lot. It is related to equipment.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in order to manage parking time, etc. at a parking lot, a parking ticket with the entry time recorded is handed out at the entrance of the parking lot, and when exiting the hot spring, the parking time and parking fee are calculated based on the entry time recorded on the parking ticket at the exit. was calculating.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

With conventional parking facilities that use parking tickets, if the parking ticket is lost or worn out, it may not be possible to determine the time of entry, and because the parking ticket with the entry time recorded is given to the user at the entrance. Entrance vehicles must be parked, and a gate has been installed at the entrance. It takes about 12 sho for each car to issue parking tickets and open/close the gate.
This is one of the causes of road congestion near the entrance. Furthermore, it was a hassle to decide whether the vehicle entering the vehicle was a long-term contract vehicle such as a monthly contract, or a vehicle rented by the hour.

The present invention improves these conventional drawbacks, calculates parking time without using a parking ticket, and automatically determines whether the vehicle is on a long-term contract or not, thereby speeding up the flow of people to the parking lot. The project was designed to alleviate traffic congestion on surrounding roads.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention provides an entrance-installed camera that reads the vehicle number of entering cars at the entrance of a parking lot, an exit-installed camera that reads the vehicle number of participating cars at the exit of the parking lot, a registration file that records the vehicle number, and an entrance-installed camera. The parking facility is equipped with a computing device that calculates the time from when the vehicle number is read by the exit camera until the exit camera reads the vehicle number.

[For production]

A camera reads the vehicle number of a vehicle using the parking lot when it enters or exits the hot spring, and a calculation device calculates the parking time and compares it with the registration file that records the vehicle number of the long-term contract vehicle to confirm the long-term contract. It will also be possible to determine whether it is a car or not.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 2, a parking lot 1 is separately provided with an entrance 3 through which entering vehicles 2 enter, and an exit 5 through which exiting vehicles 4 exit after parking. At the entrance 3, a vehicle arrival identification device N6 such as a loop coil that outputs a signal when the entering vehicle 2 passes, and a camera 7 installed at the entrance are installed, and at the exit 5, the entering vehicle 4 passes. A vehicle arrival determination device 8 such as a loop coil that outputs a signal when a vehicle arrives, and an exit camera 9 are provided.

The vehicle arrival determination devices 6 and 8, the entrance camera 7, and the exit camera 9 are connected to an image recognition device 10, as shown in FIG. There is. In addition to the image recognition device 10, the computing device R11 has a long-term contract such as a monthly contract. 2. Put the car number 8 on a magnetic cape, etc. A record file 12, a clock 13, and a fare adjustment machine 14 are connected.

When an entering vehicle 2 attempting to park in the parking lot 1 attempts to pass through the entrance 3, the vehicle arrival identification device N6 issues a signal, and the camera 7 installed at the entrance is activated to detect the license plate number of the entering vehicle 2 as shown in FIG. Read the vehicle number on plate 15. This vehicle number is input to the arithmetic unit N11 via the image recognition device R10, and is recorded together with the time input by the clock 13. At the same time, the arithmetic unit 11 determines whether the vehicle number exists in the registration file 12. do. The entering vehicle 2 passes through the population 3 and parks at an empty spot in the parking lot 1.

When a parked vehicle approaches the exit 5 as the hot water car number, the car arrival determination device 8 at the exit 5 issues a signal, and the exit camera 9 is activated as in the case shown in FIG. The vehicle number is read and input into the arithmetic unit 11 via the image recognition device 10 (see FIG. 1), and the time is compared with the entry record of the arithmetic unit 11. If the participating vehicle 4 is a long-term contract vehicle, the time from the activation of the entrance camera 7 to the activation of the exit camera 9 is recorded in the registration file 12 as parking time, and then the vehicle installed at the exit 5 is recorded. A lamp (not shown) at a fare settlement station 16 (see FIG. 2) indicates that the participating vehicle 4 is a long-term contracted vehicle and does not require toll collection when accessing the hot water, and the vehicle is allowed to pass through the exit 5.

If the participating vehicle 4 is a vehicle that is not recorded in the 9 record file 12 (see Figure 1), the time from the activation of the entrance camera 7 to the activation of the exit camera 9 and the corresponding After the parking fee is calculated by the calculation device 11, shown to the driver at the fee settlement station 16, and the parking fee is collected,
Pass through exit 5.

[Effects of the Invention] Since the present invention allows parking time to be managed without using a parking ticket, there are no problems associated with parking tickets such as loss or loss of parking tickets, and there is no possibility that entering cars will be stagnant at the entrance. Calculating parking time and parking fees becomes easier, and by installing automatic gates at exits, unattended management is also possible.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a system diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view of a parking lot, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the operating state of a camera installed at the entrance. In the figure, 1 is a parking lot, 2 is an entering vehicle, 3 is an entrance, 4 is an exit vehicle, 5 is an exit, 7 is a camera installed at the entrance, 9 is a camera installed at the exit, 11 is a computing device, and 12 is a registration file.
