Description

Parking Meter for Roadside Paid Parking and Surveillance System for Paid Parking {A PAID PARKING METER AND A PAID PARKING WATCH SYSTEM ON ROAD}

The present invention relates to a fee prepaid parking meter for managing a paid parking space installed on the road and a road pay parking monitoring system suitable for simultaneously monitoring a plurality of areas provided with the parking meter.

Conventionally, a paid parking space installed on the road is equipped with a parking meter to manage the parking fee unattended.

The parking meter is equipped with a coin inlet and parked in a paid parking space on the road, and when a user inputs a predetermined coin, the parking meter displays a parking available time and then displays a time gradually reduced with time. do. Therefore, when the parking time elapses, a warning light is turned on at the spot to notify the parking violation.

However, in the conventional parking meter as described above, parking is possible even if a coin has been put in, and only the parking time is indicated because it is just parked. By inputting a substantial time extension is possible.

There is a problem in that illegal parking can be simplified because such acts cannot be prevented unless they are discovered as patrols.

In addition, even if there is a watchman, patrolling every short time is a big task, and if the paid parking spaces are scattered in a plurality of areas, a lot of people are required, and there is also a problem that the associated costs also increase.

The present invention has been made to solve the conventional problems as described above, the object of which is to park without paying the parking fee prescribed in the road-paid parking space to allow parking on the road for a limited time It is to provide street-paid parking meter which can eliminate illegal parking.

In the present invention as described above, even if there are paid parking spaces in a plurality of areas, there is provided a roadside paid parking monitoring system that can reliably and easily monitor illegal parking with a small number of people.

In order to solve the above problems, in the on-street pay parking parking meter of the present invention, a pay parking space for one car is determined on the road, and a support unit is fixedly installed in or near the pay parking space for one car. A prepaid on-road toll parking parking meter having a main body supported by a holding unit having a text display unit and a charge settlement unit, the detecting unit which detects a car worn in the toll parking space and outputs a detection signal; There is a parking time management unit that manages the vehicle from the time of receipt of the car to the factory according to the vehicle detection signal, and further, the charge settlement unit reads and writes a contactless card according to the instruction of the parking time management unit, and writes a non-contact to settle the parking fee. It is installed by a type card processing unit, and the detection unit emits a signal toward the car received. Is equipped with a receiver for receiving a signal reflected by the launch unit and the vehicle and outputting a detection signal, and the parking time management unit calculates the excess time from the set parking allowance time and displays the settlement time on the character display unit. If the detection unit cuts off the detection signal of the vehicle while the charge settlement for the excess time is not performed, the warning signal is issued, and the character display unit displays the explanation as the time elapses after the vehicle is worn. It is provided by the money identification processing part which settles in cash instead of a card processing part, and the said rate settlement part can be provided by the magnetic card processing part which settles into a magnetic card on behalf of a non-contact card processing part.

On the other hand, there is a parking meter for roadside pay parking, a monitoring device installed near the parking meter and communicating information from the parking meter to the communication line according to each time, and the central monitoring room connected to the monitoring device and the telephone line. And a patrol car connected to the central monitoring room via a radio wave for communication, and the central monitoring room wirelessly contacting the patrol car with a signal from the monitoring apparatus after detecting parking of the on-street toll parking space and having not received a prescribed fee settlement. The monitoring device is provided with a vending machine for a contactless card, and the monitoring device can be equipped with a billing machine for a contactless card.

In the on-road pay parking parking meter of the present invention, since there is no reflection of the signal from the transmitter, the receiver does not output the detection signal, and it is determined that there is no wearing of the car in the on-road pay parking space. The signal from the transmitter is preferably infrared.

When the receiving unit does not output the detection signal, the parking meter displays that it can park.

When the car is put in the paid parking space, the parking meter reflects the signal from the transmitter, so that the parking time manager starts when the receiver receives the infrared signal and issues a detection signal. In this case, if the detection signal is continuously output even after a predetermined time (for example, a few minutes) has elapsed in this state, the parking time management unit is installed so that it is determined that the parking time management unit is in stock. Even if an object reflecting a signal in between enters the parking space for a short time, it does not malfunction. Then, after the vehicle is put in, the user touches the contactless card reading part of the parking meter, When the parking fee is subtracted from the amount of the card and the balance is written in, the parking meter displays the longest parking time set in the text display unit at the same time as the card processing, and then subtracts according to the time and displays the remaining time available for parking. do. If the car leaves before the remaining time becomes zero, the vehicle enters the initial state and indicates that parking is possible again. If there is no vehicle leaving even after the set parking time, the parking meter keeps the elapsed time. The cards are accumulated and displayed, and when the card is presented, only the shortage is settled.

In the toll parking monitoring system, if you park for a long time without paying a fee, a patrol car that is informed of the parking meter's information to the central monitoring room and wirelessly contacted the central monitoring room is dispatched to the scene. In this way, measures such as moving to a wrecker are performed.

As described above, it is judged that the parking of the car has been carried out, so that the parking is correctly made, the parking time can be started correctly, and illegal parking can be eliminated, and the judgment of entering or leaving the car is signaled from the parking meter. As a result, it is possible to reliably eliminate the malfunction.

By using a non-contact card, the fee can be eliminated without using counterfeit money or mechanical failure, and also can reduce labor costs by eliminating the trouble of counting the amount of money, and can also eliminate the risk of cash transportation.

By constructing a toll parking monitoring system as a parking meter, a central monitoring room, and a patrol car, and forming a network of contacts, it is possible to monitor a large number of paid parking spaces with a small number of people, and even if there is an illegal parking lot, it is possible to take specific appropriate measures immediately.

The parking meter installed by the money identification processing unit that pays cash in place of the contactless card or by the magnetic card processing unit that pays the magnetic card can prevent illegal parking, and also receives the information of the parking meter. An extensive monitoring system can be used for a system in which the patrolling car, which has been notified to the central monitoring room by wireless communication from the central monitoring room, is dispatched to the scene and moved to a lacquer car.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(Example)

Indicates parking condition. 3 shows a parking meter, (c) is a block diagram showing the inside of the main body, and (d) is a perspective view showing the main body. The on-street pay parking monitoring system includes a pay parking space (1) on the road and a parking meter (2). ), A monitoring device (3), a central monitoring room (4), and a private patrol car (5). (6) is a white line separating parking spaces, (7) is a car, (8) is a sidewalk, (9) is a sidewalk end side of the parking space (1), and (10) is a road.

The parking space 1 is parked on the road 10 at right angles to the sidewalk 8 as shown in FIG. 1, and any form of parking parallel to the sidewalk 8 may be employed as shown in FIG. 5. The parking meter 2 is installed upright on the sidewalk end surface 9 so as to face the parking space 1 in a one-to-one manner, and the main body portion 2b is fixed to the upper end of the strut portion 2a embedded in the sidewalk. The main body 2b is configured as a detection unit 11, a parking time management unit 12, a character display unit 13, a charge settlement unit 14, and a warning lamp 15 as shown in Fig. 3A. The detector 11 has a transmitter 11a of an infrared signal 19 modulated to distinguish infrared rays included in natural light and a receiver 11b of an infrared signal 19, which are disposed at both outer ends of the main body. The reception unit 11b outputs a detection signal upon receiving the infrared signal 19.

When the parking meter is arranged, the surface is installed to face the parking space, and the parking time management unit 12 is described in the character display unit as the processing unit 12a starts to subtract or accumulate the time according to the detection signal. A processing unit 12b for outputting the data, a processing unit 12c for instructing the settlement, and a processing unit 12d for determining an illegal shipment and outputting the signal.

The parking time manager 12 operates the timer upon receiving the output of the detection signal, but if the detection signal is continuously output even after 5 minutes have elapsed, for example, after the vehicle 7 is received, the payment is settled. Judging by.

The character display unit 13 is formed of a liquid crystal, and displays the settlement method or the description according to the passage of time according to the output of the parking time management unit 12, the charge settlement unit 14 is a non-contact free payment I) A card (e.g., an IC card) 14a and a non-contact card processing unit 14b for reading and writing the same, and a positive (+) mark indicating a reading position 14c are provided on the main body surface.

The warning light 15 lights up or flashes when the parking time is exceeded or when the vehicle is illegally parked, according to the instruction of the parking time management unit 12, and the transmitter 12 and the receiver 13 are formed on the outer surface of the main body 2b. They are arranged in pairs on the parking space, but can be set at any position depending on the usage conditions.

In addition, the monitoring device (3) is arranged in the vicinity of the paid parking space (1) and connected to each parking meter (2) and the signal line 16, the information according to the time elapsed from each parking meter (2) The monitoring equipment 3 is connected to the central monitoring room 4 and the telephone line 17, and the central monitoring room 4 displays the status of the monitoring device 3 installed in each region. A contact network is constructed in which the guard checks the area name and the number display of the paid parking space after the parking time and notifies the patrol car 5 to the wireless communication means 18.

Next, the operation will be described with reference to FIG. 4.

First, the transmitter 11a of the parking meter 2 always emits the infrared signal 19 toward the parking space 1, and when there is no reflection, the infrared signal 19 goes straight and disappears. ) Is in a state in which no infrared signal is received and no detection signal is output.

1 shows the description of the character display unit 13 in the parking meter 2 with the passage of time. First, since the parking space 1 without the detection signal is empty, "parking OK" is displayed. (S10).

(2) As the infrared signal 19 is reflected from the vehicle 7 in response to the arrival of the vehicle 7, the parking time management unit 12 operates a timer to "put the card to + within 5 minutes" or "parking." No. A-10 ”is displayed (S11).

③ If the user touches the contactless free payment card 14a at the reading position 14c of the parking meter 2 (S12), the contactless card processing unit 14b reads it and the card can settle the parking fee. (S13), the non-contact card processing unit 14b calculates the parking fee, writes the subtracted amount into the free payment card 14a, and notifies the parking time management unit 12 of the signal. The parking time management unit 12 receives the signal and causes the character display to display "Parking Number A-10" or "Parkable Time 120 Minutes" (S14). It also subtracts the time from it and displays the time.

If the amount of the card is small, the corresponding parking time will be displayed.

(4) When there is no valid card presentation within 5 minutes (S15), the parking time management unit 12 displays "parking number A-10" or "excess time ○ minutes" (S16). This overtime information is communicated to the central monitoring room 4 via the telephone line 17 via the monitoring device 3.

(5) When the vehicle 7 has been discharged (S18) until the 120 minutes of parking time becomes 0 minutes (S18), the vehicle 7 displays "Parking OK" (S19).

If the vehicle is not discharged until 0 minutes (S20), the parking time management unit 12 causes the display of "parking number A-10" or "excess time ○ minutes" to be displayed (S21). This overtime information is communicated to the central monitoring room 4 via the telephone line 17 via the monitoring device 3.

(6) When the above time indication is displayed and the information is contacted to the central monitoring room (6), the watchman informs the patrol car (5) of the area and the parking number by the radio communication means (18). The patrol car 5 urgently dispatches to the scene and moves an illegally parked vehicle to a lacquer car.

As described above, in the road-paid parking monitoring system of the present embodiment, the time of arrival and exit of the pay-paid parking space 1 that can park on the road is determined by a modulated infrared signal, and the time is exceeded. It is possible to eliminate illegal parking for parking without paying the parking fee or paying the prescribed parking fee, and if the car 7 is in continuous output even after a predetermined time has elapsed after the arrival of the car 7, it is judged that the wearing is an object other than the car reflecting the signal. Even if you intrude into the parking space for a short time, it does not malfunction and the fee is set as a non-contact free payment card (14a) so that you can avoid the use of counterfeit money or the trouble of the mechanical part. This saves money and eliminates the risk of cash transport.

In addition, by constructing a liaison network with a parking meter (2), a central monitoring room (4), and a patrol car (5) and establishing a network of contacts, a large number of paid parking spaces can be monitored with a small number of people. If so, the appropriate action can be taken immediately and specifically.

As mentioned above, although the Example of this invention was described with reference to drawings, a specific structure is not limited to the Example mentioned above, Even if there exists a design change etc. of the range which does not deviate from the summary of invention, it is included in this invention.

For example, a small reflector reflecting infrared rays is provided on the white line 6 so that the receiving unit 11b always receives infrared rays. Even if the infrared ray is cut off for several minutes, the car may be worn, and the transmitting unit 11a may be used. May be placed on the paid parking space 1 side, for example, on the white line 6 at a position cut off from the car. In this case, the power supply is a solar cell, which eliminates the need for wiring on the parking meter side, and when the transmitter 11a and the receiver 11b are plural and all the infrared rays in the plural directions cannot be received, the power supply has been received. You may also

And although various control is performed by the parking time management part 12, arbitrary processing parts, such as an explanation display processing part, may be installed independently or separately, and various processes can be set arbitrarily with time, and the monitoring apparatus 3 is The vending machine for the non-contact free payment card 14a or the magnetic free payment card may be provided, and the monitoring apparatus 3 may be provided with the amount-paying machine of the non-contact free payment card 14a.

In addition to the non-contact card processing unit, even if a charge settlement unit is installed as a money identification processing unit or a magnetic card processing unit, illegal parking for parking without paying a prescribed fee in the street-paid parking space can be eliminated. Monitoring of illegal parking can be carried out certainly by the number of people.

As described above, in the on-road pay parking parking meter and the on-road pay parking monitoring system of the present invention, since it is configured as described above, it is clearly known that parking is performed. It is possible to make sure that parking is done because it judges the receipt of the car as a signal, and it is possible to accurately start the parking time and to eliminate illegal parking. It is reliable to eliminate malfunctions, and the non-contact card can be used to settle charges, thereby eliminating the use of counterfeit bills and the trouble of the mechanical part. Also eliminates the risk of cash transport, and the non-contact system Parking meters installed by the cash-identification processing unit that settles cash on behalf of the card processing unit or installed by the magnetic card processing unit that settles the magnetic card can prevent illegal parking, and the street-paid parking monitoring system as a parking meter, a central monitoring room, and a patrol car.
