Description

Unmanned parking management device with enforcement function {Unmanned parking management device with enforcement function}

The present invention relates to an unattended parking management device, and more particularly, to an unattended parking management device having an enforcement function capable of detecting and identifying illegal parking and non-payment.

Parking lots are largely divided into on-street parking lots, off-street parking lots, and affiliated parking lots. Here, the on-street parking lot means a parking lot provided for general use as a parking lot installed on the road surface or in a certain area of a traffic plaza.

In particular, on-street parking lots are managed by the head of a local government or a person entrusted by them. A person who manages an on-street parking lot (hereinafter referred to as 'on-street parking lot manager') may receive a parking fee from a person who parks a car in the parking lot.

In general, on-street parking lots are installed and operated on a road surface or in a certain area of a traffic square. These on-street parking lots are divided into cases where the operator is an autonomous district or facility corporation, and cases where a private business operator operates. When operating autonomous districts or facility corporations, parking managers are operated as full-time workers, resulting in operating deficits due to excessive labor costs compared to parking fees. In the case of private operators, there is a problem in that work conditions are poor due to increased labor intensity because fewer parking managers are assigned to manage the parking lot.

However, the operating deficit due to excessive labor costs due to the increase in the minimum wage compared to the parking fee has worsened, and local governments are giving up paid operation of on-street parking lots. Accordingly, when the on-street parking lot is entrusted to the private sector, many workers are complaining of difficulties due to the poor working environment, such as increasing the intensity of labor and increasing the risk of safety accidents because the workers of the on-street parking lot have to manage several areas.

Or, if the on-street parking lot is opened free of charge, citizens request a charge for the on-street parking lot due to the lack of parking spaces available to actual users due to long-term parking, neglected vehicles, and privatization of parking areas.

In consideration of this situation, a plan to operate an on-street parking lot unmanned has been proposed, but in the case of an unmanned parking lot, illegal parking and occurrence of unpaid vehicles have become obstacles to unmanned parking.

In order to solve this, there is a need for technology development for an unmanned parking management device that can deploy and operate an unmanned or minimal patrol car or patrol car using Internet of Things (IoT) and information communication (ICT) technology.

The parking management device 100 checks whether the vehicle is parked in response to the request to check whether the vehicle is parked or not, and transmits the vehicle park confirmation information (including the vehicle park time) to the parking control system 10 . In addition, the parking management device 100 stores parking area information (01), vehicle number information (12-ga 1234), entry time information (10:00), and exit time information (12:00) in the storage unit 130 as a dictionary format can be saved.

If the user normally registers the vehicle exit, but does not complete the settlement request received from the parking control system 10 and leaves the corresponding parking area, the parking management device 100 detects the vehicle exit and displays the vehicle exit completion information. It is transmitted to the control system 10.

The parking control system 10 receives the exit completion information, checks whether the vehicle parked in the corresponding parking area is settled, and if it is confirmed as non-settlement, the entry registration information or exit registration information or vehicle number for the corresponding parking area Based on this, it is possible to transmit a settlement request message to the user terminal 30 of the corresponding user.

FIG. 9 is a diagram exemplarily illustrating a specific process of processing an unregistered unregistered vehicle by the unmanned parking management device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 9 , in a parking area in which entering a parking area, parking entry detection, parking information provision, and entry registration are normally performed, after a predetermined time has elapsed, the parking control system 10 is sent to the parking control system 10 through the user terminal 30 and the like. In a state in which vehicle exit registration is not performed, the parking management device 100 transmits vehicle exit information to the parking control system 10 when detecting vehicle exit in a corresponding parking area.

As described above, the parking management device 100 of the present invention monitors entry detection, entry registration, entry registration, exit detection, etc. in the corresponding parking area, so that most of the past workflows in which these tasks were performed by people were performed. can be unmanned.

In addition, according to the present invention, entering detection, entering registration, exit registration, exit detection and settlement in a specific parking area in an on-street parking lot are monitored step by step, but even if an abnormal situation occurs in each step, a patrolman or patrol car is unconditionally dispatched. It is not a method, but a completely unmanned method even if problems such as illegal exit and illegal settlement occur in the later stages by preventing illegal parking in the entry and registration stage by using the surrounding cameras, the camera of the patroller terminal, and the camera installed in the patrol car first. It exerts a groundbreaking effect that parking control can be performed with

Hereinafter, a workflow for regulating illegal parking unattended by using peripheral cameras when an illegal parking event occurs will be described with reference to separate drawings.

10 is a diagram illustrating another example of parking enforcement for an unregistered vehicle entered by an unmanned parking management device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 10 , situations in which parking area entry, entry detection, entry information provision, and entry registration are not performed are shown. If the entry registration is not performed, a significant problem is exposed in subsequent parking control, so more adaptive parking control is performed for the non-registration event.

Specifically, when a considerable amount of time elapses in a state in which the entry is not registered, the parking management device 100 in the illegal parking area transmits an illegal parking notification to the parking control system 10. At this time, the parking management device 100 may include and transmit information about cameras, CCTVs, IP cameras, etc. installed in the surroundings together with the illegal parking notification.

When the parking control system 10 receives an illegal parking notification from the parking management device 100, the parking area location information included in the received illegal parking notification, expected entry time information, cameras installed in the vicinity, CCTVs, IP cameras, etc. Based on the information, the license plate image of the vehicle parked in the corresponding parking area is retrieved. When the license plate image of the target vehicle is retrieved, the license plate image is analyzed, the vehicle number is identified, and then the vehicle number information is transmitted to the parking management device 100.

If the parking control system 10 parses the illegal parking notification information received from the parking management device 100 and determines that the license plate image of the vehicle parked in the corresponding parking area cannot be confirmed, the patrol officer of the corresponding parking area Alternatively, illegal parking notification information may be transmitted to patrol vehicles to request enforcement of parking enforcement for a corresponding parking area.

11 is a diagram exemplarily illustrating an example of cracking down on an illegally parked vehicle by an unmanned parking management apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The on-street parking lot shown in FIG. 11 is divided into first to fourth parking areas. It is assumed that illegal parking has occurred in the first parking area and the second parking area. In the case of the second parking area, since parking control is possible by CCTV 4 for illegally parked vehicle 2, license plate information of the vehicle can be obtained by CCTV 4.

The parking area shown in FIG. 11 can be divided into a visible area and an invisible area monitored by CCTV or IP cameras. For example, in the case of illegally parked vehicle 1, it is parked in an invisible area of CCTV1, but is parked in an area monitored by IP camera 1.

In this case, when the parking management device 100 determines that an illegal parking event has occurred in the corresponding parking area, the parking control system 10 provides illegal parking notification information (parking area information, CCTV 1 information, IP camera 1 information and entry time information) are transmitted. The parking control system 10 identifies the parking area by parsing the received parking notification information, and among vehicle images captured by CCTV 1 and IP camera 1 installed adjacent to the parking area Search for an image captured in the entry time band do.

The parking control system 10 has an object recognition algorithm pre-installed thereon, so it can detect whether or not parking is performed in a specific area at a specific time in a video image. If a license plate image of a vehicle parked in a specific area at a specific time can be checked, the license plate image of the target vehicle is checked and the license plate image is analyzed to identify the vehicle number.

The parking control system 10 may transmit enforcement information (including an enforcement vehicle number) to the parking management device 100 for the identified vehicle number. At this time, the enforcement information may include parking area information, enforcement vehicle number, enforcement time, and the like.
