Description

[0001] System for overnight parking enforcement and method using the same [

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a nighttime parking interception system and a method using the same, and more particularly, to a nighttime parking interception system for controlling nighttime parking violations of a car for a cargo and a method using the same.

At night, parking control is performed for buses, cargo vehicles, etc., and is not parked in the designated garage due to the violation of the real name system of the parking lot. It is applied to vehicles parked in unauthorized places (for example, roads, back roads, residential areas, Which is a series of duties to carry out the crackdown and administrative disposition. As the number of illegally parked cars increases, there is a risk of traffic accidents and noise. Recently, complaints about crackdowns have been continuously raised. As a measure to solve this problem, banners are posted and warning signs are issued. However, despite these measures, the same parking violation continues to occur.

In addition, in the past, the intermittent intermittent control has been performed manually. However, there is a problem that the inefficiency of the work and insufficient data management are caused by the interception of the intermittent control. Especially, in contrast to the regulation on the parking of a regular vehicle, the parking control at night is different from the disposal of the vehicle in the hall and the vehicle outside the hall. In the case of regular vehicle parking, all the vehicles in the on-site and off-site vehicles are subject to administrative disposition, while in the case of night parking, the on-board vehicle performs administrative disposition in the regulatory agency. In the case of parking control at night, it is difficult and difficult to control parking on illegal night parking vehicles at night. However, classifying the result of enforcement is also a big part of the workload. In addition, not only the interception site but also the destination institution receiving the data has to deal with the data input, fines, and administrative disposition because the data received from other institutions such as official documents and faxes must be classified and enforced .

Therefore, it is necessary to study how to prevent traffic accidents due to an increase in illegal parking vehicles at night.
