The operation of the smart location adjustment parking fee unmanned settlement system according to the present invention configured as described above will be described in detail as follows.

First, in the initial state as shown in Figs. 1a and 1b, the advertisement display unit 60 provided in the body 10 of the smart positioning parking fee unmanned settlement system 1 is the advertisement providing unit 31 of the settlement unit 20 Depending on the control, an advertisement for providing to a driver of a vehicle entering the vehicle or a pedestrian in the vicinity of the parking lot is displayed, information on the parking status of the parking lot is displayed, or information on the traffic condition around the parking lot is displayed.

Accordingly, the driver of the vehicle for parking through the advertisement display unit 60 clearly checks the parking status or recognizes the traffic conditions around the parking lot. Pedestrians are also aware of parking status, advertisements, and traffic conditions around the parking lot.

On the other hand, when the entered vehicle is close to the unmanned parking fee calculator 1 for exit, the vehicle number plate and vehicle are photographed through the camera of the exit detection unit 23, and the vehicle number is obtained using a known license plate recognition algorithm. Recognize. In addition, a vehicle image is extracted from a vehicle image using a known image recognition technique, and a vehicle shape is recognized using the extracted image. Vehicle height is determined according to vehicle shape recognition. Vehicle height is largely divided into sedan and SUV (RV) vehicles (trucks are also considered SUVs). Vehicle information (vehicle license plate information, height value (information)) recognized in this way is transmitted to the settlement and movement control unit 24.

The parking fee determination unit 33 of the settlement and movement control unit 24 extracts the parking information of the vehicle stored in the storage unit 37, and determines a parking fee according to a preset fee table based on the extracted parking information. Here, when entering the vehicle, the settlement unit 20 receives entry information by interlocking with the entry manager and stores it in the storage unit 37. Therefore, if only the vehicle information (vehicle number) of the outgoing vehicle is recognized, the parking time can be known through the entry information of the vehicle in real time, so that the parking fee can be calculated and determined in real time using the parking time.

The determined parking fee is transmitted to the parking fee display control unit 34 and the parking fee is displayed on the parking fee display unit 21 by the parking fee display control unit 34. Therefore, the outgoing driver can easily recognize the parking fee through the parking fee display unit 21.

On the other hand, when the vehicle for unloading stops for settlement, the distance sensor of the unloading detection unit 23 measures the distance between the calculation unit 20 and the vehicle exit, and calculates the vehicle position value and transmits it to the movement control unit 24. do. Here, the distance sensor is installed at a position opposite to the vehicle exit, and measures the distance between the settlement unit 20 and the vehicle using ultrasonic waves, lasers, or light. The distance sensor can measure the distance even when the outgoing vehicle is not stopped.

The vehicle position and height determination unit 35 of the settlement and movement control unit 24 is based on the vehicle position value transmitted from the vehicle exit detection unit 23, that is, the distance value between the calculation unit 20 and the vehicle. To determine For example, the position at which the outgoing vehicle stops is predetermined. Based on the stop position, the driver may stop close to the settlement unit 20 or may stop far away from the settlement unit 20.

Here, when the location of the car exit is close to the settlement unit 20, it is not a problem for the driver to insert the card or the like into the input port for settlement. However, if the location of the car exit is far away from the settlement unit 20, the driver can settle the settlement. When inserting a hazard card into the slot, the distance to the slot is long, so the driver comes out of the vehicle and pays the parking fee, or the vehicle moves back to the settlement unit 20 by moving the vehicle again. This can happen.

In addition, the vehicle position and height determination unit 35 of the settlement and movement control unit 24 determines the vehicle height using a height value transmitted from the vehicle taking-out detection unit 23.

Here, in the case where the height of the exit vehicle (3) (4) is the same as the sedan and the SUV, if the height of the driver is different and the settlement unit 20 is fixed at the same height, the driver can insert a card or the like into the slot for settlement. When the distance to the entrance is too far, the driver may come out of the vehicle and pay the parking fee. For example, if the height of the settlement unit 20 is set based on the sedan type, the driver of the SUV vehicle has the inconvenience of having to make the settlement by moving his hand down during settlement, and the height of the settlement unit 20 is adjusted based on the SUV. When released, the driver of a sedan has the inconvenience of having to extend his hand upwards to make a settlement.

Therefore, in order to improve such inconvenience, in the present invention, the vehicle location and height determination unit 35 determine the location of the vehicle by using the distance according to the position between the calculation unit 20 and the vehicle exit. In determining the location of the car, the total location information of the car is converted into distance information and stored in the storage unit 37 in the form of a table, and the detected distance value is correlated to the table to determine the location of the car. The vehicle location information (forward and backward movement information) determined in this way is transmitted to the rectifier movement amount determination unit 36.

In addition, the vehicle location and height determination unit 35 determines the height of the vehicle using the vehicle height value. In determining the height of the car, the height information of the sedan and the SUV may be stored in the storage unit 37 in the form of a table, and the height of the car may be determined by matching the detected height value to the table. The vehicle height information (up and down movement information) determined in this way is transmitted to the adjustment unit movement amount determining unit 36.

The estimator movement amount determination unit 36 determines the estimator movement amount using the movement amount determination table stored in the storage unit 37 based on the vehicle position and height information determined by the vehicle position and height determination unit 35. Here, in the movement amount determination table, the height of the calculation unit 20 is vertically adjusted according to the preset movement control data and the height value of the vehicle in order to move the calculation unit 20 toward the vehicle side according to the distance value between the calculation unit 20 and the vehicle exit. This means that preset movement control data is provided for movement. When the amount of movement of the calculator is determined using the movement amount determination table, information on determining the amount of movement of the calculator is transmitted to the movement control unit 38 of the calculator. Here, the amount of movement of the calculator means the amount of movement of the calculation unit 20 back and forth and vertically. The settlement unit includes a fixed body, and the settlement unit is movably mounted on the body, and the object to be actually moved becomes the settlement unit.

The adjuster movement control unit 38 determines actuator driving control and motor driving control by using the adjuster movement amount determined by the adjuster movement amount determining unit 36. Here, if both the back and forth movement and the up and down movement of the settlement unit 20 are required, the back and forth movement first, the up and down movement first, or at the same time, the back and forth movement and the up and down movement are possible. It is assumed that the Shanghai Dong will be done later.

The adjustment unit movement control unit 38 controls the actuator and/or the motor driving unit according to the movement direction.

For example, when moving the settlement unit 20 back and forth according to the vehicle position, the amount of movement of the settlement unit is converted into the actuator driving time, and the actuator 40 is driven in response to the converted actuator driving time, so that the settlement unit 20 is unloaded from the vehicle position. Advance to Here, the actuator may be implemented with equipment such as a rod that is interlocked with the actuator. The actuator is capable of forward rotation and reverse rotation, and may be said to be a form that pushes the rod during forward rotation and pulls the rod during reverse rotation. At one end of the rod, the settlement unit 20 is fixedly coupled. Therefore, it is easy for the settlement unit 20 to move forward or backward according to the movement of the rod.

Next, when the calculation unit 20 is moved up and down according to the vehicle position, the calculation unit 20 is converted by converting the amount of movement of the adjuster into the motor driving time, and driving the motor driving unit 50 according to the converted motor driving time. Move it downward. Here, the motor driving unit 50 is connected to the rack and the pinion to move the settlement unit 20 downward or upward.

In more detail, the movement of the settlement unit 20 according to the distance between the settlement unit 20 and the vehicle exit will be described in more detail.

4A is a state in which the car is stopped close to the settlement unit 20. In this case, there is no inconvenience for the driver to insert a card or the like into the settlement unit 20, so there is no need to move the settlement unit 20. .

4B is a state in which the vehicle exit is a certain distance away from the settlement unit 20. In this case, the settlement unit 20 is slightly moved (advanced) toward the vehicle according to the amount of movement of the settlement unit, so that the driver exits the vehicle or drives the vehicle again. It is possible to solve the discomfort induced toward the settlement unit 20.

4C is a state in which the vehicle exit is significantly (maximum distance) away from the settlement unit 20. In this case, the settlement unit 20 is moved as far as possible (advancing) toward the vehicle according to the amount of movement of the settlement unit, so that the driver exits the vehicle or moves the vehicle. By driving again, it is possible to solve the inconvenience induced toward the settlement unit 20.

On the other hand, the moving of the settlement unit 20 according to the height of the vehicle will be described in more detail as follows.
