{System and Method for Gathering and Sharing Parking Space Information based On Citizen Participation}

The present invention relates to a system and method for collecting and sharing information on a parking surface, which is a space for parking a vehicle, with the participation of citizens. Information on the available parking surface, such as information and the location of an empty parking surface, is provided to the manager conveniently and in real time through a mobile terminal to collect information on the available parking surface, and the manager By providing information on the empty parking surface to the users who need it, it reduces the need for installing a separate sensor to check whether parking is there, and an additional communication network for communication between the sensor and the management server, and effectively manages the empty parking surface. It is about "a system and method for collecting and sharing parking information based on citizen participation" that can be utilized.

Conventionally, an individual sensor for determining whether a vehicle is parked is installed in a parking lot, and the sensor detects when the vehicle is parked on the parking surface and when the parking surface is empty, so that lights of different colors are displayed or other various Information on the parking surface was provided in a publicly known manner. An example of such a prior art can be found in Korean Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-2019-0048582.

However, in the case of this prior art, it is necessary to separately install a sensor that can determine whether a parking surface is empty in each parking surface, as well as a separate communication facility for receiving and processing a signal from the sensor, a significant cost There is a problem with this taking. In particular, in the case of an on-street parking lot on the ground, there is an additional problem that the sensor is difficult to maintain. Due to this problem, the prior art for providing information on an empty parking surface using a sensor has a limit of being extremely limitedly used in an indoor parking lot such as a department store, and the parking surface using a mobile phone app (App). There is a limit in that the service that provides information about this is not actually done properly.

In addition, in recent years, illegal parking causes inconvenience to vehicles and pedestrians as well as serious traffic accidents. It is necessary to eradicate such illegal parking. In the past, only the license plate number of illegally parked vehicles was photographed and the related organizations Because it is limited to the degree to which the information is transmitted to the public, it is not possible to acquire sufficient information related to illegal parking and to take appropriate measures accordingly (towing and detecting illegally parked vehicles, etc.).

Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2019-0048582 (published on May 9, 2019).

The present invention was developed to overcome the limitations of the prior art as described above, and any unspecified number of citizens can provide information on available parking surfaces such as information that a parking surface is empty and the location of an empty parking surface through a mobile terminal. By making it convenient and real-time provided to the manager, information on the available parking surface is collected based on citizen participation, and the manager provides and shares information about the empty parking surface to users who need parking service. By doing so, it reduces the need for installing a separate sensor for checking whether parking is made and an additional communication network for communication between the sensor and the management server, and to provide a technology that enables the efficient use of an empty parking surface. do.

Furthermore, the present invention provides a technology that can help solve various social problems caused by illegal parking by allowing citizens to quickly and accurately deliver location information of illegally parked vehicles to the relevant authorities when illegal parking occurs. intended to provide

1 is a schematic diagram of a parking surface information collection and sharing system according to the present invention.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiment shown in the drawings, which is described as one embodiment, the technical idea of the present invention and its core configuration and operation are not limited thereby. In particular, in the present invention, it is possible to collect and share not only information about an empty parking surface, but also location information of an illegally parked vehicle. For convenience, in describing the present invention, it is only referred to as "parking surface information". Therefore, it should be understood that "parking surface information" in the present invention refers to information related to an illegally parked vehicle as well as information on a parking surface in an available state.

1 is a schematic diagram of the parking surface information collection and sharing system 100 is shown. The parking information collection and sharing system 100 according to the present invention is based on the direct participation of citizens.

In the area where the vehicle is parked, that is, the parking surface, a unique identification mark (symbol) for the corresponding parking surface is displayed. The unique identification mark may be in the form of a QR code, number, or other various forms, and may be drawn by a method such as painting directly on the floor on the parking surface, or a separate display member is installed at a specific location on the parking surface or its main surface Thus, a unique identification mark of each parking surface may be displayed on the corresponding display member.

If any unspecified citizen, such as a pedestrian, discovers an empty parking surface (hereinafter referred to as "available parking surface") without a vehicle being parked, obtain a unique identification mark of the parking surface with a mobile terminal such as a smartphone, This is transmitted to the management server module. For example, if the unique identification sign is a QR code, use the "Information Acquisition and Transmission Module" installed in the mobile terminal in the form of an App to photograph and recognize the QR code of the available parking surface, and use it as a management server module. that can be transmitted. When the unique identification sign is a number consisting of numbers or symbols, by inputting the number corresponding to the unique identification sign in the "information acquisition and transmission module", the unique identification sign of the available parking surface may be transmitted to the management server module. In addition to the method exemplified above, citizens use a mobile terminal to obtain a unique identification mark of the available parking area and transmit it to the management server module by various methods (citizen's voluntary provision of available parking information). Through this transmission, information on the available parking surface, such as the fact that the corresponding parking surface is empty, and the location and transmission time of the corresponding parking surface, is sent to the management server module. As described above, in the present invention, any citizen can become an "information provider" about available parking spaces.

In the case of the embodiment shown in the drawing, the management server module is composed of "cloud server", "cloud AI (Artificial Intelligence) server" and "parking information DB server". Therefore, information on available parking areas transmitted from citizens is first received by the cloud server of the management server module, then stored in the parking information DB (Data Base) server and provided to the cloud AI server (saving of available parking information) management phase).

On the other hand, in order to encourage and induce citizens to voluntarily provide parking information, the present invention provides incentives to citizens. That is, the system of the present invention is equipped with an "incentive providing module", and as above, when the citizen's voluntary provision of available parking lot information proceeds, an incentive is provided to the corresponding citizen (those who voluntarily provided available parking lot information) will do As a method of providing an incentive, for example, granting “accumulated points (scores)” may be used. That is, a predetermined point is provided to a citizen who voluntarily provided information about available parking lots, and the accumulated points are used in conjunction with a deduction for fines (speeding, traffic signals, illegal parking, etc.) incurred while using the vehicle, or If you earn more than points, you can provide benefits such as allowing them to be used like cash. Of course, in addition to providing such points, various types of incentives may be provided.

Since multiple citizens can obtain and provide information at the same time or with a time difference on the same parking surface, it is preferable to use the FCFS (First Capture First Sharing) method in providing incentives. That is, an incentive is provided to the highest priority information provider (the one who provided information the earliest) among the information providers who photographed and transmitted the unique identifier of the available parking surface with a smartphone.

In the system according to the present invention, a "parking surface use module" is installed in the terminal of the user who wants to use the parking surface. When the user's terminal is a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, the "parking surface use module" is loaded and driven in the form of an app. The user who wants to use the parking surface drives the parking surface use module to connect to the management server module, obtains information about the available parking surface (location, vacancy report time, etc.) from the cloud server, and The parking lot will be used. At this time, when the corresponding parking surface is used, the user notifies the management server module of the parking surface use fact through the parking use module, and the management server module receives it and updates the available parking surface information. If the user using the parking surface does not voluntarily notify the management server module of the use of the parking surface, measures such as limiting future use by giving the user a penalty as necessary may be taken.

On the other hand, in the present invention, in providing the user with information on the available parking lot acquired through the citizen's voluntary participation, not only when the user individually accesses through the "parking use module" as above, but also on the available parking surface By posting information about the parking lot using an electronic signboard, etc., it can also be shared publicly by notifying the vicinity of the available parking area.

In the present invention, since it actually functions as a sensor for grasping information on the available parking surface, a separate parking surface sensor as in the prior art is constructed in order to secure information on the available parking surface and provide it to the user in need. no need to do Therefore, there is no need to build a sensor, establish a communication network, or maintain a sensor, and there is an advantage that it can be implemented quickly and inexpensively.

In particular, in the present invention, anyone using a mobile terminal such as a smartphone provides information on a parking surface that can be used at any time, and a significant incentive is given to the information provider, so that it is possible to create new jobs for citizens and to work naturally. . If necessary, it is possible to provide new jobs to the elderly by providing the priority to operate the service area for healthy citizens among the elderly who have returned their driver's licenses. In addition, according to the present invention, it is possible to implement a smart sharing service in which shared values can be established as a basis. According to the present invention, the story activation of the parking providing service and the parking information provider linked thereto is made. According to the present invention, parking is not a problem in the city, but can be transformed into a shared, productive marketplace.

Meanwhile, as mentioned above, in the present invention, "parking surface information" may include information related to an illegally parked vehicle. Hereinafter, a case in which the system according to the present invention is used as an embodiment for obtaining and providing information on illegally parked vehicles will be described. The unique identification sign described above may be installed in a parking-free zone, in particular, a section, location, or area where parking and stopping is absolutely not permitted. For example, unique identification signs can be installed on the "top of the curb and crosswalk road sign poles or street lamp poles" at intervals of 5 m within 20 m around the crosswalk.

In this way, when an illegally parked vehicle is found parked in the prohibited parking area, any citizen, including pedestrians, acquires a unique identification sign along with the image of the illegally parked vehicle with a mobile terminal such as a smartphone and uses it as a management server module (parking management in charge). sent to the institution). For example, if a unique identification mark in the form of a QR code is displayed on the curb, the citizen uses the "Information Acquisition and Transmission Module" installed in the form of an app on the mobile phone to photograph and recognize the QR code, and It is transmitted along with the video of parked and stopped vehicles. Accordingly, the location information of the illegally parked vehicle is transmitted to the management server module. For example, in connection with the Open Map, location information on the open map can be transmitted to the management server module.

As described above, by using the system of the present invention, it is possible to transmit not only information on the available parking surface, but also information on the illegally parked vehicle itself (such as a license plate), and the location information of the illegally parked vehicle to the relevant authorities. The vehicle can be easily cracked down and further towed quickly. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent traffic accidents caused by illegal parking. In particular, it is possible to maximize the accuracy, reliability, and real-time transmission of illegal parking location information through citizens' voluntary participation without the installation of illegal parking enforcement equipment.

In general, there may be some error between GIS location information such as Open Map and location information of mobile devices. In the present invention, since the location information is transmitted using a unique identification mark existing in a parking and stopping area such as a QR code, such as a QR code. It is possible to increase the accuracy by correcting the position information.

In the system of the present invention as described above, a "three-dimensional QR code" generation technique using a three-dimensional printing method of a QR code can be used to facilitate shooting of a unique identification sign on a road. When a QR code is printed using the QR code generation technique, the QR code paper can be installed in a three-dimensional structure that enhances realistic shooting ability even if it is attached small. For example, a three-dimensional effect can be saved by printing and installing a QR code on an acrylic plate with a height of 0.5 cm. However, in addition to these methods, a method of printing the QR code itself to give a three-dimensional effect may be used.

On the other hand, in reporting illegally parked vehicles using the system of the present invention, the participation of citizens who do not "take QR code" may be induced in the following way.

Specifically, it is to collect civic participation information in a mobile way, and "QR sticker printing / Zigbee / active RF / IR flashing card (communication cost about 50,000 won per year, card production cost) in the bags carried by 'children' and bags of "elderly people" is about 10,000 won)" hanging around.

At this time, install the Zigbee/Active RF/LED flashing card together under the R code sticker.

For the entire crosswalk, a device that can collect RF/ZigBee information and a device that estimates the location of moving pedestrians by photographing only IR blinking are installed.

In this environment, where a pedestrian location tracking device is installed in a crosswalk or illegal parking zone, and a location information providing device is attached to a pedestrian's bag, children or the elderly cross the crosswalk and switch the card they were holding. Press to skip. Then, the driver of a nearby vehicle will be able to see "information of pedestrians in the vicinity of the crosswalk" using the application installed on the mobile phone. That is, the vehicle driver can know exactly where and on which side of the vehicle there are pedestrians through a mobile phone or a mobile terminal.

On the other hand, when citizens press the switch on the card they are holding, nearby illegally parked vehicles will be able to recognize it. In other words, LED lighting is installed in illegally parked areas (for example, at the top of the curb) (for example, 20m before and after a crosswalk), and a miniature PV that absorbs sunlight and vehicle light is installed on the top of the street lamp installed around the curb that illuminates the LED light. .It is possible to put a QR code identification mark installed together with a miniature LED blinker.
