Description

Parking management system and method

The present invention relates to a parking management system and method, and more particularly, to a parking management system and method related to occupant parking.

In general, in the case of multi-family houses or ordinary houses, there is a lack of parking space, so every time a car is parked, there is a war.

Therefore, in order to resolve the parking war in residential districts and secure passages for emergency vehicles, some ward offices have implemented resident-first parking schemes that provide residents with paid parking surfaces created in free spaces on one side of residential streets.

The occupant priority parking system pays a parking fee for a certain period of time, receives the occupant priority parking sticker, and uses the corresponding section.

However, there are many cases where there is no space for a rightful person to park in a place to actually park. This is because vehicles without resident parking stickers, that is, illegally parked cars, park arbitrarily, and even if you report to the parking control center of the ward office, it is difficult to promptly handle the limited enforcement personnel because they do not have enough hands to handle the illegal parking report during the work hours.

As described above, the conventional occupant-first parking management method is a method through which personnel can check illegal parking vehicles through patrols, and patrol cycles are determined according to the will of parking enforcement personnel. If the vehicle is not confirmed, a problem arises that it becomes difficult to crack down.

In addition, when there is a report of the resident, a crackdown is made, and in particular, when a report is concentrated, a limited number of people do not take appropriate measures, and many complaints are occurring.

The technical problem of the present invention is to solve the conventional problem, parking management in real time by detecting and parking the vehicle to detect illegal parking, parking control personnel to move to the parking surface to take appropriate measures It is to provide a system and method.
