The present invention relates to an integrated parking management and guidance system, and more particularly, location information and parking information related to parking lots located in the vicinity of an area to which a driver or a person who is directly driving a vehicle wants to go. The present invention relates to an integrated parking management and guidance system capable of overcoming various closures related to parking by providing various parking information related to the parking status in a parking lot and the location of a spare parking space in real time.

As society develops and living standards rise, cars are no longer classified as luxury. In particular, in the recent trend in which a small family due to nuclear familyization is increasing one after another and the reduction of working hours continues to be a big issue, automobiles as a means of transportation such as travel or shopping are no longer luxury goods.

Cars are convenient and beneficial to use, but socially, parking is causing a lot of parking problems due to the increasing number of cars compared to limited parking spaces. Especially in the case of large cities, vehicles are increasing exponentially due to population inflow, but the parking shortage is intensifying due to the shortage of parking space. The lack of parking spaces causes parking in sidewalks or alleys, which causes problems such as obstructing the movement of vehicles due to illegal parking and preventing entry of fire trucks in the event of a fire.

In order to solve this problem, there is also a plan to construct a parking tower to park a number of vehicles at the same time or to use an empty lot as a parking lot. However, even if a large number of runner space is secured, it is difficult to actually obtain information about the free parking space.

For example, when a driver enters a city center, it is difficult to receive information about a parking lot that exists nearby. Therefore, the driver should visit the parking lot around the parking lot to check whether there is a parking space, and if the parking lot does not have a free parking space, the driver should repeat the move to another parking lot. If you are a driver who is not familiar with the geography of the city you belong to or a driver who is inexperienced in driving, the difficulty of parking will be greater.

The more cars roaming around in search of free parking spaces, the more various causes social problems. For example, in 2001, the number of cars registered in Seoul, South Korea is very large, as shown in Table 1 below.

TABLE 1

In Seoul, automobile exhaust is reported to account for more than 80% of air pollution. In particular, the damage caused by carbon monoxide (CO) is the largest among the exhaust gases. This can be confirmed through [Table 2] below.

TABLE 2

The harmful effects of automobile exhaust are not limited to air pollution. As shown in Table 3 below, carbon monoxide (CO) generated from automobiles is known to cause considerable damage to human health as well as air pollution.

TABLE 3

Concentration (ppm) Exposure time Damage to the human body 5 20 minutes Nervous system reflex changes 100 3 hours 10% loss of blood in the body 200 5 hours A violent headache 300 8 hours Vision and mental disorders 500 4 hours Vision disorders, deprivation, feeling of weakness 2000 2 hours Dead 3000 to 4000 30 minutes Possible death

This useless driving of a driver for parking not only causes air pollution but also adversely affects the human body. In particular, in the era of high oil prices these days, it may also act as a cause of a surge in unnecessary fuel consumption. Therefore, there is a high necessity to inform the driver of the parking lot closest to his location in real time. Such a service is now disclosed as some patent technologies.

However, it can not be satisfied to inform the parking lot. Even if a parking lot is reached with the help of a known unmanned parking service, if it takes a considerable amount of time to find an empty space in the parking lot, this also causes a lot of discomfort. As shown in [Table 4] below, as in the parking lot, when the vehicle runs at a low speed, the carbon monoxide (CO) emissions increase rapidly.

TABLE 4

Therefore, in a normal parking lot, a parking guide agent is provided to notify the parking space of vehicles entering the parking lot. However, even though there are parking spaces in various places, parking information may not be delivered to the user due to immature guidance of the parking guides or communication failures between the guides.

In this situation, as shown in [Table 3] and [Table 4], the relatively high carbon monoxide (CO) is to be forced to harm the health of the driver or parking guide. In particular, in department stores and discount stores, there is a parking guide who can secure a parking space.However, if there is no parking guide, such as an underground parking lot or an underground parking lot in an apartment building, There is a problem in that it consumes fuel unnecessarily and generates a soot such as carbon monoxide (CO), and has no choice but to visit a parking space, causing serious social problems.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a driver or a prospective driver who is driving a vehicle directly, as well as location information and parking information relating to parking lots located in the vicinity of the area in which they want to go.

Hereinafter, each embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, and in the description of the embodiments, the same reference numerals will be given to the same components.

1 is a control block diagram of an integrated parking management and guidance system according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a schematic configuration diagram of an integrated parking management and guidance system according to the present invention.

Referring to these figures, the integrated parking management and guidance system according to the present invention has road display units 2, 3, 4 and a central processing unit 6.

As shown in FIG. 2, when there are three parking lots 5a, 5b, and 5c in the vicinity of the vehicle 1 entering the city center, the road display units 2, 3, and 4 display their positions. Mark the driver directly on the road.

As one form of the road display parts 2, 3, and 4 (reference 2 in FIG. 2), as shown, a column 2a, which is disposed upright in a corner area of the road or on both sides of the road, and a column It is coupled to (2a) and includes a display unit (2b) for displaying the position information of one of the closest parking lot (5a) of the parking lot (5a ~ 5c). Accordingly, the vehicle 1 entering the city center may check the display unit 2a of the road display unit 2 and obtain location information of the adjacent parking lot 5a.

Of course, the location information for the parking lots 5a to 5c may be at least one of a personal mobile phone, a PDA, a PCS, navigation, and a portable notebook, in addition to the road display units 2, 3, and 4. You can also get However, if the driver is poor in the use or operation of the user terminal 7, the location information of the parking lots 5a to 5c can be easily obtained through the road display units 2, 3 and 4.

As another form of the road display units 2, 3, and 4, as shown by reference numerals 3 and 4 in FIG. 2, the display panels 2, 3, and 4 may be installed on the roof of a building or the like. It can be an electric sign 4. The electronic plates 3 and 4 may display more information than the display unit 2b. For example, in addition to the location information for the parking lot (5a ~ 5c) can display all the parking information for the corresponding parking lot. As described later, the parking information corresponds to a free parking space of the parking lot. In addition, it predicts the hours when parking lots are used during the day in advance, and includes the expected parking hours for parking after a few hours and the parking fee.

All such information is stored in the integrated parking information database 6a, DB which the central processing unit 6 has. As a result, the integrated parking lot information database 6a, DB updates the location information of the parking lots 5a-5c and the parking information of the parking lots 5a-5c in real time. To this end, the parking guidance system 9 and the central processing unit 6 provided for each of the parking lots 5a to 5c are interconnected to exchange information in real time.

The central processing unit 6 includes an integrated controller 6b that collects, records, and analyzes information of the integrated parking information databases 6a and DB, and the data analyzed by the integrated controller 6b for road display units 2, 3, 4) or a communication module 6c for transmitting to the user terminal 7. The communication module 6c exports the information of the integrated parking information database 6a, DB using a wired or wireless communication network. The communication module 6c includes a local area network (LAN), a metropolitan area network (MAN), a wide area network (WAN), a value added network (VAN), an integrated services digital network (ISDN), and a broadband ISDN (B-ISDN). Any may be applied.

Referring to FIG. 2 again, the vehicle 1 entering the city center may check the location of the parking lot of reference 5a through the road display unit 2 closest to the vehicle 1. If the driver has passed the road display unit indicated by reference numeral 2, the positions of the other parking lots 5b and 5c may be checked through the other road display units 3 and 4. Therefore, it is possible to solve the inconvenience of having to travel around the parking lots 5a to 5c in order to find the parking lots 5a to 5c, as well as air pollution and environmental problems, fuel consumption, human health problems, and unnecessary unnecessary traffic. It is possible to appropriately solve the problem of manpower supply and demand.

Of course, the location information and parking information for the parking lot (5a ~ 5c) can be easily confirmed through the user terminal (7). Therefore, before driving the vehicle 1, after confirming the location information and the parking information for the parking lot (5a ~ 5c) through the user terminal (7), it is possible to select whether to operate the vehicle (1). For example, as a result of checking parking information about the parking lots 5a to 5c in the area where the user or the company wants to go through the user terminal 7 in the house or the company, if there is no free parking space in the parking lots 5a to 5c You have access to a wide range of choices.

Meanwhile, when one of the parking lots 5a to 5c is reached through the road display units 2, 3 and 4 or the user terminal 7, the parking space is searched for in the parking lots 5a to 5c. It shouldn't take much time to do it. Therefore, in the case of the present system, when the parking lot 5a to 5c is reached, the parking guidance system 9 is induced to allow parking in the parking lot 5a to 5c more quickly.

FIG. 3 is a schematic perspective view illustrating a parking guidance system, FIG. 4 is a configuration diagram of the parking guidance system shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 5 is an embodiment of the display unit for the parking lot shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. It is a utilization drawing.

Referring to these drawings, the parking guidance system may be mounted and used in the parking lot shown as, for example, 5a among the three parking lots 5a to 5c described above. Parking lot 5a is provided with a parking space P of a type similar to that shown in FIG.

When the illustrated parking lot 5a is further described in detail, the parking lot 5a includes a plurality of parking groups 12, 14, and 16 with a moving path of the vehicle interposed therebetween. Each parking group 12, 14, 16 is provided with a plurality of parking spaces P, in which vehicles can park individually. Referring to FIG. 3, only spaces designated by reference numerals “A”, “B” and “C” are available for parking by the vehicle 1 entering the parking lot 5a.

In order to identify the empty spaces “A”, “B” and “C” that can be parked without a parking guide, the plurality of parking spaces (P) determine whether the vehicle is parked in the parking space (P). The sensor S is attached. In addition, a plurality of parking lot display units 20a to 20c are provided at predetermined positions of the parking lot 5a to display parking information such as the parking status related to the parking lot 5a, the position of the spare parking space, and the like. At this time, the signal from the sensor S is transmitted to the parking lot display units 20a to 20c by the control unit 25 and displayed.

The sensor S can be configured in various other forms. In the present embodiment, the ultrasonic sensor S is used. Sensors S are installed on the ceilings of the upper parking spaces P on all surfaces except the rooftop to determine whether a vehicle is present in the parking spaces P. FIG. If there is no ceiling such as a rooftop or the ground, the sensor S may be embedded in the ground or the sensor S may be mounted on the side of the parking space P.

As shown in FIG. 4, the sensors S are arranged one by one in the parking space P. All the sensors S have respective independent addresses and are integrally connected by a single signal line L. Transmits the corresponding signal to the control unit 25. Therefore, there is an advantage that the operation is easy and the cost is low compared to individually connecting the sensors (S) to the control unit 25, respectively.

The display unit 20a to 20c for the parking lot may be disposed in a moving passage of the vehicle located between the plurality of parking groups 12, 14, and 16, respectively. Of course, although not shown in Figures 3 and 4 may be disposed in the entrance of the parking lot (5a). This will be described later.

The predetermined information by the display unit 20a to 20c for the parking lot has the same shape as the parking space P formed in the parking group (not shown) of an adjacent position, as shown in FIG. 5. Parking information indicating whether or not the vehicle is parked in the parking lot and parking vehicle utilization rate information comparing the current number of parked vehicles with the total number of vehicles that can be parked in the parking lot 5a are included.

Parking information includes the foregoing, and is similar to, for example, a seat position notification sign indicating a seat position at the entrance of a theater, and can be plotted to allow a driver or passenger to identify an empty parking space more quickly. have.

For example, assuming the display unit 20b for parking lot of FIG. 5, the parking information means A3 parking space P, which can be parked, from a total of 12 parking spaces P of A1 to A6 and B1 to B6. Parking information B2 serves to inform the driver or passengers more quickly of the parking space (P). Although FIG. 5 indicates whether parking is “available” or “impossible” in Korean, this is only an example, and thus, any one of the English notation or OX notation, identification notation by color or lamp may be applied. It is okay.

Parking vehicle utilization rate information is displayed by comparing the current number of parking vehicles compared to the total number of parking vehicles, it is possible to ensure the reliability in that it can provide more realistic and objective information to the driver or passengers. Of course, a separate advertisement 21 is also possible. In addition, you can tell the estimated time of parking (for example, "You can park after a few minutes") by numbers or letters. It is good to use flashing LED lamp which can combine various numbers and letters.

The operation of the integrated parking management and guidance system having such a configuration is as follows.

The vehicle 1 entering the city center checks the location of the adjacent parking lot 5a through the road display unit 2 or the user terminal 7 closest to the user, and enters the corresponding parking lot 5a. . If the driver has passed the road display unit indicated by reference numeral 2, the driver may check the positions of the other parking lots 5b and 5c through the other road display units 3 and 4 to quickly and easily enter the corresponding parking lot.

The vehicle 1 entering the parking lot 5a checks that the parking space P is provided in the parking lot 5a through a display unit (to be described later) provided at the entrance of the parking lot 5a, and enters. As shown in FIG. 3, the first parking lot display unit 20a marked as no parking space is positioned in the second parking lot display unit 20b.

At this time, the sensor S provided in each parking space (P) senses whether or not the vehicle is parked in the parking space (P), and transmits it to the control unit (25). Then, the control unit 25 runs a control program (not shown) based on the signals of the respective sensors S, and then denotes "A" and "B" by the display unit 20b for the parking lot. Indicates that parking is possible in the parking space (P).

When such information is displayed on the parking lot display unit 20b, the driver or passenger of the vehicle 1 that has passed the corresponding parking lot display unit 20b has a parking space (P) denoted by “A” and “B”. The parking lot may be parked in any one of the parking spaces (P), which are “A” and “B”.

Of course, if the following vehicles parked in the parking spaces (P) of the "B" and "C", the control unit 25 that received the signal from the sensor (S) 25 as the parking vehicle utilization rate information for the parking lot display unit 20a 20c) will be displayed in full order, which increases the reliability.

As described above, according to the present invention, the parking lot (5a to 5c) located in the periphery of the area to which the driver or the person who is driving the vehicle 1 is going to go, the parking information as well as the corresponding parking lot ( By providing various parking information related to the parking status in the 5a ~ 5c), the location of the free parking space in real time, it is possible to overcome various closures related to parking.

In other words, by providing a fast and smooth parking service, it is possible to appropriately solve the air pollution and environmental problems, fuel consumption problems, human health problems, unnecessary manpower supply and the like caused by unnecessary vehicle movement. In addition, even if the parking lot is difficult to secure parking guides due to problems such as costs will be able to provide a smooth parking service.

6 to 8 are photographs each showing a modified example of the display unit for the parking lot.

6 is a view of the entrance area display unit installed at the entrance of the parking lot 5a. Referring to the left figure of FIG. 6, the number of parking available from the 3rd basement floor to the 6th basement floor is shown, and the figure on the right is guided to the direction. Both left and right sides may be appropriately selected and used. Therefore, whether the vehicle 1 to enter the parking lot 5a to 5c using the integrated parking management and guidance system can park in the parking lot 5a through the entrance area display unit installed at the entrance of the parking lot 5a. It can be recognized.

Of course, as described above, since such information may be displayed on the road display units 2, 3, and 4 operated by the central processing unit 6, it is necessary to enter the parking lot 5a which is in a full state. It may not be. 6 illustrates an entrance area display unit installed at an entrance of a parking lot in a state where a spare parking space is secured.

FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 are diagrams of the branch area display unit provided at a branching point in the parking lot 5a, respectively.

Referring to the foregoing, it is a diagram of a display that can be located in a plurality of parking groups 12, 14, 16. (A) to (d) of FIG. 7 respectively indicate a parking position with an arrow and parking status. And (e) and (f), respectively, the direction of the current position of the vehicle (1) is indicated by the arrow time of the arrow, and the status of whether parking is indicated by the current status display part of the Korean alphabet or numbers. Type (e) of Figure 7 has the advantage that the user can easily identify whether the parking.

8 may be proposed as another method of identifying parking at a glance. 8 (a) and 8 (b) show whether a parking space is located on the front left side or the right side, respectively. The arrows and the left and the right are indicated by the arrow part, and the vehicle is classified by color. (c), (d), (e) can be used as a picture indicating the direction is displayed on the wall or pillar of the parking lot (5a).

On the other hand, the above-described parking guidance system is installed in one runner window (5a) can be confirmed through FIG. 9 shows a specific scheme designed directly by the applicant and applied to a given site. 9 it was confirmed that the utilization rate of the parking lot is very high.

10 is a control block diagram of the integrated parking management and guidance system according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to this figure, the central processing unit 6 can communicate with the parking lot management module 30 by wire or wirelessly. Parking lot management module 30 refers to the so-called, charge settlement that is installed in the entrance area of the parking lot (5a ~ 5c, see Figure 2). The vehicle 1 entering the parking lot 5a to 5c necessarily passes the parking lot management module 30.

The parking lot management module 30 provides services such as access control of the vehicle through the parking lots 5a to 5c and settlement of the parking lot usage fee. For example, the fee for using the parking lots 5a to 5c is settled at department stores or discount stores, and the access control of the vehicle is performed at apartments which do not need to settle the fees. Therefore, illegal outside parking can be prevented.

In order for the parking lot management module 30 to provide the above services, an input unit 40 capable of communicating with the parking lot management module 30 is required. The input unit 40 is a means for inputting or outputting information on the vehicle to the parking lot management module 30 by wire or wirelessly, which may be a general card, a smart card, a mobile phone, or the like. The user may contact the parking lot management module 30 or wirelessly transmit the card to provide services such as access control of the vehicle and settlement of the parking lot fee.

However, when the card-type input unit 40 does not operate due to external factors (some vehicle radio shielding, tinting, etc.), the vehicle number for the vehicle is recognized as a camera image, and the vehicle number is recognized. It is also possible to provide services such as access control of the vehicle and settlement of the parking lot fee using a vehicle identification or image image processing method such as storing the data of the management module 30.

As described above, the input unit 40 may be manufactured in the form of a credit card. One input unit 40 is distributed per user. Of course, the input unit 40 is better if it is possible to co-use in all apartment parking lot, road construction (no stop fee settlement system), public parking lot through standardization. However, if necessary, the differentiated for each parking lot 5a to 5c may be used alone.

The input unit 40 includes a tag 41 in which information on the vehicle and the like are stored, and an antenna 42 for transmitting the information in the tag 41. The reader 31 provided in the parking lot management module 30 reads out and reads the information in the tag 41 from the signal transmitted through the antenna 42. The reading results include the entry and exit times of the parking lot and the method of payment. Parking fee usage payment may be any one of cash payment, credit card payment, user terminal payment, postpay payment.

For reference, the parking lot management module 30 and the input unit 40 may be a so-called RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) method. RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) is a technology for identifying a unique ID wirelessly using radio waves. Magnetic cards, such as cash cards and telephone cards, are replacing the roles that have been played.

Existing magnetic card has a problem of durability because it is a contact method, and it was not only inconvenient but also duplicated, and there was a security problem. However, since a predetermined processor and a memory are embedded in the tag TAG of the input unit 40 as an RFID method, duplication is impossible and the security problem is coped with through an authentication process during read or communication. It is convenient because the communication process is wireless. For example, it is possible to wirelessly without having to take out the card of the input unit 40 from the wallet for authentication.

RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) method has a low frequency such as 125kHz, 13.56MHz and those using a 900MHz, 2.4GHz band depending on the frequency used. In relation to the usage distance, there are an active TAG in which a power source (battery) is included in the input unit 40 itself, and a passive TAG that operates using wireless power from the reader 31 as a reader. In the case of an example, any form and any form may be used.

Thus, when the input unit 40 communicates with the parking lot management module 30 installed in the entrance area of the parking lots 5a to 5c (see FIG. 2) and enters the parking lot 5a to 5c, the parking lot management module 30 includes: Check the time the vehicle entered. When the input unit 40 is communicated to the parking lot management module 30 while leaving the corresponding parking lot, the parking lot use time is determined and the fee is calculated through this. As set forth above, any one of cash payment, credit card payment, user terminal payment, and postpaid payment may be employed as described above. If the apartment does not need to settle the fee, the vehicle is managed. Therefore, illegal outside parking can be prevented and parking time for visitors can be referred to.
