1 is a block diagram showing an unmanned parking management system according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the unmanned parking management system according to the present invention includes, for example, a vehicle information detection unit 10 for detecting information of a vehicle to be entered into a parking lot, and a timer 20 for checking a parking time of a parking vehicle. ), Based on the information from the radar detector 40, the vehicle information detector 10, the timer 20, the radar detector 40 to check the parking position of the vehicle in real time and to check the extra parking space The control unit 30 for managing the parking fee of the parking vehicle, the storage unit 50 for storing the information of the parking vehicle in conjunction with the control unit 30, and parking vehicle information such as the parking fee. And a display unit 60 for displaying to the manager or the owner of the vehicle.

The vehicle information detector 10 detects information of a vehicle to be entered in a parking lot, for example, a vehicle number, a color of a vehicle, a weight of a vehicle, and transmits vehicle information to the controller 30. In order to detect the information of the vehicle, the vehicle information detector 10 includes a vehicle number detector 11 for detecting the vehicle number of the vehicle as shown in FIG. 2A and the weight of the vehicle as shown in FIG. 2B. And a vehicle weight detector 12 or the like for detecting this. Here, the vehicle information is not limited to detecting the vehicle number and the weight, but may detect vehicle owner information, discount eligibility, durability, and the like that can be recognized through an IC chip mounted on the vehicle.

The vehicle number detector 11 of the vehicle information detection unit 10 may be, for example, a camera provided at a blocking bar installed at an entrance of a parking lot, and the license plate of a parking vehicle imaged using the camera may be transferred to the controller 30. The controller 30 recognizes the vehicle number of the vehicle on which the vehicle is to detect the vehicle number of the vehicle.

The vehicle weight detector 12 of the vehicle information detector 10 may be installed on the entrance ground of the parking lot to measure the weight of the vehicle to be entered. Based on the weight of the vehicle measured using the vehicle weight detector 12, it is determined whether the vehicle is light, medium or large, so that the parking fee can be differentially charged according to the weight.

The timer 20 is for checking the parking time of the parking vehicle. The timer 20 transmits time information about the time when the vehicle is discharged from the arrival time of the parking vehicle to the control unit 30 to provide time information for calculating the parking fee in real time. To pass.

The radar detector 40 is installed on one side of the upper part of the parking lot and uses the radar to check whether there is an extra parking space in the parking lot or to check the parking position of the occupied vehicle in real time to the controller 30. To pass. Here, the radar detector 40 uses a radar to detect the presence and position of the target by using the reflected wave generated by the radiation of 70 ~ 77 GHz radio wave, continuous wave radar (Continuous wave is used according to the transmission type) Wave radar, CW radar), or a pulse radar (Pulse radar) using a pulse wave form, for example, the present invention uses the form of a pulse radar.

The reason for using the pulse radar is to pulse the radio waves so that it can fire powerful signals intensively with a small transmitter.The duration of the firing signal and the reflected signal is short, so the accuracy is high when measuring the distance from a long distance or an adjacent target. This is because there is no mutual interference between the emission wave and the reflected wave, and the reflected wave is received even at the time of stopping the shooting.

The controller 30 controls the overall functions related to the vehicle information detector 10, the timer 20, the radar detector 40, the storage 50, the display 60, and the like, which constitute the unmanned parking management system, that is, By executing a program for unmanned parking management stored in the storage unit 50 stores the vehicle information detected from the vehicle information detection unit 10 in the storage unit 50, the vehicle related to the vehicle information stored in the storage unit 50 On the basis of the parking time calculated using the timer 20 at the time of departure, the vehicle information about the parking fee is displayed on the display unit 60 as shown in FIG. 4 and the parking fee is calculated.

For example, in a full parking state without a parking space of a parking lot, the control unit 30 displays the message “It is full” on the display unit 60 to the driver of the vehicle to enter the parking lot and enters the entering vehicle using the blocking bar. It can be suppressed.

Alternatively, when there is a vehicle leaving the parking lot, the controller 30 detects the information of the vehicle through the vehicle number detector 11 and the vehicle weight detector 12 of the vehicle information detector 10, and thus the parking time and departure time. Check and calculate the parking fee according to the weight using the confirmed entrance time and departure time. The information about the parking fee calculated in this way can be displayed and collected by the driver of the vehicle or the parking lot manager through the display unit 60, or can be automatically settled using an external payment server. Here, the controller 30 may be in the form of a PC provided in the parking lot, a server installed outside the parking lot, or a server connected to a wired / wireless communication network.

Storage unit 50 stores a predetermined program and vehicle information for executing the overall operation of the unmanned parking management system, the information on the location information of the vehicle detected by the radar detector 40, the parking fee according to the present invention Stores the contents of daily, monthly parking fee.

Looking at the method for managing the parking vehicle in the unmanned parking management system having such a configuration as follows.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an unmanned parking management method according to the present invention, and for example, illustrates a method of managing an entry / exit vehicle of a vehicle unattended in a parking lot.

Referring to FIG. 5, when a vehicle to be parked in a parking lot is to be parked in front of the blocking bar 13, the vehicle number detector 11 and the vehicle weight detector 12 of the vehicle information detector 10 detect information of a vehicle on which the vehicle is to be parked. (S501).

The vehicle number detector 11 may be, for example, a camera provided in the blocking bar 13 installed at the entrance of the parking lot. The vehicle number detector 11 transmits the license plate image of the occupant vehicle imaged using the camera to the controller 30 and controls the controller ( 30) detects the vehicle number of the vehicle, and detects the vehicle number of the vehicle. In addition, the vehicle number detector 11 captures the image of the vehicle and transmits the image of the image of the vehicle to the controller 30, and the controller 30 may detect the color of the vehicle.

The vehicle weight detector 12 is installed on the entrance ground of the parking lot to measure the weight of the vehicle to be entered and transmits the measured weight information of the vehicle to the controller 30 so that the controller 30 sends the parking fee according to the weight. To do it.

After detecting the information on the vehicle, the controller 30 raises the blocking bar 13 to pass the vehicle and checks the parking time using the timer 20 (S502). For example, when OO is a small-sized vehicle with black number OOXX, the control unit 30 stores the information "OO is OOXX", "black", "small weight" in the storage unit 50 and at the same time The time information of 08:05, which is the arrival time of, is stored in the storage unit 50.

After checking the entrance time, the control unit 30 checks which parking position on the radar the parked vehicle is using the radar detector 40 (S503). Radar detection unit 40 is installed on the upper side of the parking lot is detected by detecting that the parking vehicle OO is parked at any position, 3-112 position of the parking lot, as shown in Figure 3 OOXX black small weight vehicle The parking information is transmitted to the control unit 30. Of course, the controller 30 may store the parking information detected by the radar detector 40, for example, the image information illustrated in FIG. 3, in the storage 50.

Subsequently, the controller 30 uses the radar detector 40 to determine whether there is no parking space in the parking lot, that is, whether the vehicle is full (S504).

As a result of the determination in S504, if there is an extra parking space in the parking lot, parking management of the occupant vehicle is continuously performed.

As a result of the determination process (S504), if there is no parking space in the parking lot, that is, if the parking lot is full, the vehicle cannot be parked in the parking lot any more, so the vehicle to be restricted is checked and the departure vehicle is checked (S505). . For example, when a vehicle is to be entered while the parking lot is full, the control unit 30 notifies that the parking is full through a display unit 60 such as a speaker (not shown) or a screen monitor provided at the entrance of the parking lot.

At the same time, the controller 30 determines whether there is a vehicle leaving the parking lot by using the vehicle weight detector provided at the exit of the parking lot (S506). It is determined whether there is a vehicle withdrawal, and if there is no vehicle withdrawal, the controller 30 notifies the driver of the vehicle in the parking lot as described above through the display unit 60 such as a speaker or a screen monitor provided at the entrance of the parking lot.

As a result of the determination in S506, if there is a vehicle leaving the vehicle, the controller 30 detects vehicle information of the vehicle leaving the vehicle at the exit of the parking lot and displays it on the display unit 60 (S507).

As in the case of entering the vehicle, the controller 30 detects the vehicle information of the vehicle, that is, the vehicle number, and parks the vehicle corresponding to the vehicle number by using the vehicle number detector 11 provided in the blocking bar installed at the exit. Location, entering time, etc. are displayed on the display unit 60 as shown in FIG.

At the same time, the controller 30 checks the departure time using the timer 20, calculates and pays the parking fee based on the time information on the departure time (S508).

Detects the vehicle information and the departure time of the vehicle, and displays it on the display unit 60 as shown in FIG. 4 and calculates the parking time based on the arrival time of 08:05 and the departure time of 09:45 The parking fee of 5000 won per vehicle is displayed.

At this time, the driver of the leaving vehicle pays 5,000 won by using a card payment machine (not shown) or a cash inlet (not shown) installed at the exit of the parking lot so that the parking fee of 5,000 won can be paid. The controller 30 confirms that the driver of the vehicle leaving the vehicle pays 5,000 won by interworking with an external financial settlement server (not shown), and receives the parking fee through the display unit 60 such as a speaker or a screen monitor. Notify the driver. Of course, it is also possible to issue a receipt of the parking fee through a receipt issuer (not shown) while notifying the driver of the vehicle.
