Description

Parking management system

The present invention relates to a parking management system, and in particular, to provide parking information such as the location of the parking lot, the usage fee, the number of available parking lots and the parking rate on the web, and to centrally manage the entrance / exit and parking fees of the vehicle. Accordingly, the present invention relates to a parking management system capable of operating a parking lot with a small number of people.

Currently, high-density areas and commercial areas have excessive parking demands. In some areas, concentration of parking demands has caused unbalanced usage and severe traffic problems.

In addition, in order to park the vehicle, the driver has to drive the vehicle directly to the individual parking lot installed in the corresponding area, check the availability of the parking lot at the site, and then park the vehicle. Therefore, when the parking lot is not available, a detour traffic volume occurs as the user roams around to find another parking lot.

Such detour traffic not only can cause traffic congestion and traffic accidents, but also cause unnecessary fuel consumption and economic loss, and also increase time waiting time due to congestion of parking lots and exhaustion. There is a problem that environmental pollution occurs due to the increase in gas.

Moreover, the first time a driver visits the area, the location and availability of the parking lot cannot be checked in advance, so it takes a lot of time to find the parking lot and the traffic congestion in the area and surrounding areas due to the concentration of users in the specific parking lot. There is a problem that causes congestion.

In order to solve this problem, the driver can recognize the location and availability of the parking lot located in the unit area on the web in advance so as to reduce the amount of detour traffic that roams around to find the parking lot and to prevent traffic congestion. Parking guidance systems have been developed to prevent fuel consumption.

However, the conventional parking guidance system as described above provides only parking information such as the location of the parking lot, the usage fee, the number of available parking and the parking rate through the web, and all parking management tasks such as the entry and exit of the vehicle and the collection of the parking fee. The management of each parking lot should be carried out individually. Therefore, a lot of manpower is required for the operation management of the parking lot, there is a problem that the management cost increases.

In addition, there is a problem that the user of the parking lot still has to solve the inconvenience of the customer, such as delay in the arrival and departure of the vehicle because the parking fee must be paid for each individual parking lot.

Accordingly, the present invention has been invented to solve the above problems, and provides parking information such as the location of the parking lot, the usage fee, the number of available parking lots and the parking rate through the web, as well as the collection and retrieval of the parking fee It is possible to operate a parking lot with a small number of persons by centrally managing it, and the purpose of the parking lot user is to provide a parking management system that can be settled not only as a member but also as a parking fee using a single financial settlement means.
