Here, i) “Elapsed time per work mode” is the usage time of the work mode currently in progress among the self-washing work modes selected by the user, and ii) “Cost per unit time per work mode” is per unit time of the currently selected work mode Cost (for example, 30 seconds per unit time / 500 won per unit time (for foam car wash mode)) iii) “Total car wash tool usage fee” is the accumulated car wash tool use since the user started self-car wash Charges iv) “Car wash time” is the time spent using the car wash tool since the user started self-washing v) “Occupied time” is the time accumulated from the time the vehicle to be washed is received vi) “Occupied cost” is doubled Accordingly, it may be a cost for occupying a boat for a cumulative time from the time the vehicle to be washed is received.

There are various payment target resources in self-car washes. However, in the past, only the fee for using the car wash tool was added to the user. This is a huge resource loss for self-car wash contractors operating expensive self-car wash sites. Therefore, it is necessary to charge for the cost of self-car wash occupancy. However, the longer the self-car wash tool is used, the longer the occupancy time is. This is because it is possible to inadvertently generate a lot of tool replacement time and personal viewing time during the car wash time. Therefore, it is preferable that the occupancy time is added according to the following equation.

In the above equation, the unit of time may be minutes (min), and the unit cost (occupancy cost per minute) may be 100 won.

According to the above equation, in the case of the basic 30-minute washing time, the occupancy time other than the washing time is given 10 minutes, and in the case of the washing time over 30 minutes, the occupancy cost may be discounted in consideration of the washing time. For example, if the total occupancy time is 1 hour and the car wash time is 40 minutes, the occupancy cost may be 500 won ((60- (40 + 10)) * 30/60 * 100 = 500). The management unit 213 may calculate the occupancy cost according to the above equation and display it through the display unit 230.
