Description

Parking lot control system and control method

The present invention relates to a control system for a gate, and more particularly to a control system for a gate of a parking lot.

In order to secure the parking of the vehicle, a gate such as an iron-rolled door is generally installed as a portal for the entrance and exit of the parking lot or the garage. Most of the opening and closing of this portal is controlled by an opening and closing device. For example, the iron door system uses a motor to control its lifting and lowering, so as to achieve the convenience of the vehicle entering and leaving. Moreover, in order to avoid anyone can easily control the opening and closing of the portal, the portal of the lane will be equipped with a remote control that controls the shutter opening and closing device. When the resident wants to enter the parking lot, the remote control must be manually operated to raise the gate. When the resident enters the parking lot, he also needs to manually control the remote control to lower the gate.

As described above, the conventional way of opening or closing the parking gate is required to be manually operated by the remote controller, which is inconvenient. In addition, if the resident enters the parking lot and forgets to close the gate, it will give outsiders a chance to invade the community. In addition, in the conventional parking lot, when a vehicle is remotely raised and raised on the first side of the gate (for example, the inside of the parking lot), if there is a vehicle passing through the gate from the second side of the gate (for example, the outside of the parking lot), It will cause trouble in the car and the danger of driving.

Therefore, the present invention provides a control system for a parking lot, which can control the lifting and lowering of the gates on the entrance and exit lanes of the parking lot.

In addition, the present invention also provides a control method for a parking lot, which can prevent an outsider from intruding into a parking lot of a community, and can also control the flow of the parking lot.

The invention provides a control system for a parking lot, comprising a proximity card remote controller, a plurality of detectors and a first control module. The detectors are disposed in the entrance and exit lanes of the parking lot, and each detector has a sensing area. In addition, these detectors are connected to the first control module by wired or wireless signals. In this way, the first control module determines, according to the order of the sensing area of each detector through the object carrying the remote control of the proximity card, the state of the proximity of the remote control card is an entering state or a leaving state, and A control module requests the first processing unit to transmit an identification data through the first two-way transceiver unit when the object carrying the proximity card remote controller is ready to enter or leave the parking lot. When the first control module confirms that the identification data is correct, it determines whether to raise the gate on the entrance and exit lane of the parking lot according to the state of the proximity of the proximity card remote controller.

From another point of view, the present invention provides a method of controlling a parking lot. First, the present invention sets a plurality of sensing areas on the entrance and exit lanes of the parking lot, and establishes a signal connection with the proximity card remote controller. In addition, according to the order in which the objects carrying the remote controller of the proximity card pass through the sensing areas, the state of the proximity of the remote control card is set to an exit state or an entry state. When an object carrying the proximity card remote controller is ready to enter the parking lot or leave the parking lot, it is determined whether to raise the gate on the entrance and exit lane of the parking lot according to the state of the proximity of the proximity card remote controller.

Since the invention can determine whether to raise the gate according to the identification data on the remote control card of the induction card and the state of the remote controller of each induction card, it is possible to strictly control the entry and exit of the vehicle in the parking lot, and avoid the situation of occupying the parking space of another person. In addition, the present invention can also effectively prevent outsiders from intruding into the parking lot of the community and strengthen the security of the community.

The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more <RTIgt;

First embodiment

1 is a block diagram of a control system for a vehicle yard in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the control system 100 of the present invention includes at least one proximity card remote controller 102 and a control module 104 with a signal connection therebetween.

The proximity card remote control 102 has a processing unit 122 and a bidirectional transceiver unit 124. The processing unit 122 is coupled to the bidirectional transceiver unit 124. In this embodiment, the processing unit 122 can send a signal or receive a signal through the bidirectional transceiver unit.

In addition, the control module 104 includes a processing unit 132, a bidirectional transceiver unit 134, and an input and output module 136. The processing unit 132 is coupled to the bidirectional transceiver unit 134 and the input and output module 136 respectively. In this embodiment, the processing unit 132 can establish a signal connection with the proximity card remote controller 104 through the two-way transceiver unit 134 to communicate with each other.

2 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of a control system in a parking lot according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the input and output module 136 of the control module 104 can be coupled to a gate module 140 . The gate module 140 includes a gate 142 that is located on the entrance and exit lane 202 of the parking lot 200. In addition, in the present embodiment, a plurality of detectors, such as 112, 114, and 116, are disposed on the entrance and exit lane 202 of the parking lot 200. These detectors 112, 114 and 116 have respective sensing areas A1, A2 and A3, respectively. The detector 114 can be disposed under the gate 142 to detect whether there is an object under the gate 142 to avoid being pressed under the gate 142 when an object is lowered by the gate 142. In addition, the detectors 112 and 116 are respectively disposed on the second side (outside) and the first side (inside) of the shutter.

The spirit of the present invention resides in that when an object carrying the proximity card remote control 102, such as the vehicle 204, passes through the sensing areas A1 and A2 in sequence, or sequentially passes through A1, A2, and A3 (i.e., from the gate 142) When the two sides enter the parking lot, the processing unit 132 sets the state of the proximity of the proximity card remote controller 102 to the entering state. In contrast, when the object carrying the proximity card remote control 102 sequentially passes through the sensing areas A3 and A2, or sequentially passes through the sensing areas A3, A2, and A1 (that is, leaves the parking lot from the first side of the gate 142), the processing unit 132 sets the state of the proximity of the proximity card remote control 102 to an exit state. The following uses several practical examples to illustrate the application of the present invention.

3A is a flow chart showing the steps of a control method for entering a parking lot from a second side of a gate in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3A, when an object carrying the proximity card remote controller 102, such as the vehicle 204, enters the sensing area A1, the processing unit 132 determines whether the state of the proximity of the proximity card remote controller 102 is a departure state, such as Step S302. When it is judged that the state of the proximity of the proximity card remote controller 102 is not the leaving state (that is, "NO" indicated in step S302), the gate 142 is maintained in the off state as described in step S304.

On the other hand, if the processing unit 132 confirms that the belonging state of the proximity card remote controller 102 is in the leaving state (ie, YES indicated in step S302), the processing unit 132 outputs the output through the output input module 136. The signal MOV is applied to the gate module 140. At this time, the motor 146 in the gate module 140 raises the gate 142 according to the actuation signal MOV, as described in step S306. Next, when the processing unit 132 determines that the vehicle 204 sequentially passes the sensing areas A1 and A2, or determines that the vehicle 204 sequentially passes the sensing areas A1, A2, and A3, the belonging state of the proximity card remote controller 102 is changed from the leaving state to the entering state. status.

FIG. 3B is a flow chart showing the steps of a control method for leaving the parking lot from the first side of the gate according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 1 , FIG. 2 and FIG. 3B. Similarly, when the processing unit 132 determines that the object carrying the proximity card remote controller 102, for example, the vehicle 204 enters the sensing area A3, it will determine the proximity of the sensing card as described in step S312. Whether the state of the device 102 is the entry state. If the processing unit 132 determines that the state of the proximity of the proximity card remote controller 102 is not the entry state (that is, "NO" indicated in step S312), then as described in step S314, the gate 142 is maintained in the off state.

Similarly, if the processing unit 132 confirms that the state of the proximity of the proximity card remote controller 102 is the entry state (ie, YES indicated in step S312), the output signal input module 136 outputs the actuation signal MOV to the processing unit 132. Gate module 140. At this time, the motor 146 controls the gate 142 to rise in accordance with the actuation signal MOV. In addition, when the processing unit 132 determines that the vehicle 204 sequentially passes the sensing areas A3 and A2, or determines that the vehicle 204 sequentially passes the sensing areas A3, A2, and A1, the state of the proximity card remote controller 102 is changed from the entering state. To leave the state.

Referring to FIG. 1 , in a preferred embodiment, the processing unit 122 continuously sends an authentication request AUT_REQ through the two-way transceiver unit 124 , wherein the authentication request AUT_REQ includes a system serial number and a segment of the identification data ID_Data of the proximity card remote controller 102 .

When the processing unit 132 receives the authentication request AUT_REQ through the bidirectional transceiver unit 134, it first determines whether the authentication request AUT_REQ is valid. Next, when the object carrying the proximity card remote control 102 enters the sensing area A1 or A3, the processing unit 102 transmits a transmission request Tx_REQ through the two-way transceiver unit 134. When the processing unit 122 receives the transmission request Tx_REQ through the bidirectional transceiver unit 124, the complete identification data ID_Data can be transmitted through the bidirectional transceiver unit 124.

When the processing unit 132 receives the complete identification data ID_Data through the bidirectional transceiver unit 134, it determines whether the complete identification data ID_Data is valid. If the processing unit 132 determines that the complete identification data ID_Data is not valid, the gate 142 is maintained in the closed state. On the other hand, if the processing unit 132 confirms that the complete identification data ID_Data is valid, the flow of FIG. 3A or FIG. 3B is performed to determine whether to raise the gate 142 according to the state of the proximity of the proximity card remote controller 102.

In other alternative embodiments, the authentication request AUT-REQ sent by the processing unit 122 through the two-way transceiver unit 124 is the complete identification data ID-DATA. At this time, the processing unit 132 does not send the request Tx-REQ to request the proximity card remote controller 102 to send out the complete identification data ID-DATA, but directly compares the complete identification data sent by the proximity card.

In addition, in some alternative embodiments, the control module 104 of the present embodiment can be split into two control modules. One of the control modules is responsible for authenticating the proximity card remote control 102, and the other control module is responsible for setting and determining the state of the proximity of the proximity card remote control 102.

Second embodiment

In the present embodiment, in order to prevent the object entering the sensing area A1 or A3 from being a person rather than a vehicle in step S304, in the present embodiment, a mechanism for preventing the inching is also provided.

4 is a block diagram of a control system for a parking lot in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 together, in the control system 400 provided in this embodiment, the control module 104 has a timer 402. When the object passes through the sensing area A1 or A3, the processing unit 132 will request the timer 402 to count an occlusion time. If the occlusion time has not expired and the object has passed through the sensing area A1 or A3, the object representing the sensing area A1 or A3 may be a person instead of a car, so the processing unit 132 does not transmit the transmission request Tx_REQ. In contrast, if the object passes through the sensing area A1 or A3 after the time of the occlusion time is over, the object that passes through the sensing area A1 or A3 is the vehicle 204 instead of the person, and the processing unit 132 transmits and transmits through the two-way transceiver unit 134. Requires Tx_REQ. In this way, you can avoid the system's misoperation.

In other embodiments, the timer 402 does not require an external built-in timing module, and the timer can be implemented by using a temporary register inside the processing unit 132. The same principle can be applied to the following embodiments, and therefore will not be described in detail in the following description.

In addition, the timing of the register inside the processing unit 132 may be positive or reciprocal, and the same principles are also applicable to the following embodiments, and therefore will not be described again in the following description.

Third embodiment

With continued reference to Figures 2 and 4, the timer 402 can be used as a gate control timer. In this embodiment, when the processing unit 132 outputs the actuation signal MOV through the output input module 136, the timer starts to count a first rising stroke time. Wherein, the first rising stroke time is the time required for the gate 142 to rise from the bottom end to the top end. In addition, the stop action of raising the gate from the bottom end to the top end is performed by the upper limit switch of the motor itself, and is not the processing unit 132. In addition, the first rise time can be adjusted according to the type of the gate 142.

Then, after the first rising stroke time is counted, the processing unit 132 causes the timer 402 to start counting again, a first waiting automatic fall time. This first waiting automatic time can also be set by itself, and its function is to allow the vehicle 204 to have enough time to pass through the gate 142. When the first waiting automatic fall time is counted, the timer 402 outputs a gate timing signal to the processing unit 132. At this time, the processing unit 132 also sends the actuation signal MOV through the output input module 136 to lower the gate 142.

In the preferred embodiment, processing unit 132 causes timer 402 to count a down travel time when gate 142 is lowered. Similarly, the down travel time is the time it takes for the gate 142 to descend from the top end to the bottom end. The stop action of the gate 142 from the top end to the bottom end is determined by the lower limit switch of the motor itself, and is not the processing unit 132. Among them, the rising stroke time and the falling stroke time may be the same or different.

In addition, when the timer 402 starts counting down the travel time, the processing unit 132 also enables the detector 114 to activate the anti-voltage function of the blocking sensing area A2. As a result, when the shutter 142 descends, an object breaks under the gate 142 and is detected by the detector 114, the processing unit 132 stops the action of the gate 142 falling.

In another embodiment, when the processing unit 132 determines that the detector 114 has an object intrusion when the gate 142 is lowered, the control module 104 stops the gate from falling. In some embodiments, after the gate 142 stops falling, the control module 104 also immediately causes the gate 142 to reverse up and the timer 402 to time a second rise travel time. Preferably, the second rising stroke time is equal to the falling stroke time from the timed down period to the stop action. For example, the down travel time is set to 30 seconds. When the gate has been down for 10 seconds, it is found that when an object breaks into the infrared rays of the anti-pressure rebound sensing area A2, the processing unit 132 causes the gate 142 to reversely rise, and the upper stroke time of the rising of the gate 142 is shortened. 10 seconds is the timing value of its second rising stroke time.

On the other hand, when the down travel time is counted, the control module 104 disables the detector 114 to disable the function of the occlusion sensing area A2. In order to prevent the gate 142 from rising again when the gate 142 is completely dropped, the gate 142 is raised again by the hand, so that the gate can be raised without the proximity card remote control, resulting in a safety hole.

In some embodiments, the timer 402 can be split into different timers, such as a rise stroke timer, a wait automatic fall timer, and a fall trip timer to time the rise time described above, wait for the automatic fall time, and The down travel time can be timed using an external timer module or a scratchpad inside the MCU. The same principles can be applied to the following embodiments without further elaboration.

Fourth embodiment

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a parking lot according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 5, in the embodiment, the signal devices 502 and 504 are respectively disposed on the second side and the first side of the gate 142, and are connected to the control module 104 by wires or wirelessly. When the control module 104 determines that an object enters the sensing area A3 located on the first side of the gate 142, the light signal device 502 on the second side of the gate 142 displays the red light signal. Then, after the objects sequentially pass through the sensing areas A3 and A2 (or sequentially after the sensing areas A3, A2, and A1), the light device 502 is switched to the green light.

In other embodiments, when the object carrying the proximity card remote control 102 sequentially passes through the sensing areas A3 and A2 (or sequentially after the sensing areas A3, A2, and A1), the control module waits for a preview. It is assumed that the signal device 502 is switched to the green light number after the delay time has elapsed.

Similarly, if the control module 104 determines that an object enters the sensing area A1 located on the second side of the gate 142, the light device 504 located on the first side of the gate 142 displays a red light. Then, after the objects sequentially pass through the sensing areas A1 and A2 (or sequentially after the sensing areas A1, A2, and A3), the signal device 504 is switched to the green light.

Fifth embodiment

Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 together, in the embodiment, when the control module 104 causes the light number device 502 or 504 to display a red light number, if the timer 402 has already set the first waiting automatic fall time and When the down travel time is counted, the control module 104 can switch the light number device 502 or 504 to a green light signal.

In other embodiments, the timer 402 can also time the first lamp number transition time corresponding to the first side of the gate 142 and the second lamp number transition time corresponding to the second side of the gate 142. The first lamp number transition time and the second lamp number transition time are different from the first waiting automatic fall time and the fall travel time. After the first lamp number transition time or the second lamp number transition time is completed, the processing unit 132 causes the corresponding lamp device 502 or 504 to switch to display the green light signal. Among them, the length of the first waiting fall time and the falling travel time can be set by the administrator.

Since the lane lengths of the first side and the second side of the gate 142 are not necessarily the same. Therefore, in some embodiments, the lengths of the first lamp number transition time and the second lamp number transition time may also be set separately.

Sixth embodiment

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a parking lot according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, in this embodiment, in the vicinity of the signal devices 502 and 504, time display devices 602 and 604, for example, a seven-segment display module, which may be wired or The wireless mode is connected to the control module 104. When the light device 502 or 504 displays a red light, the processing unit 132 also displays a time countdown display that causes the time display device 602 or 604 to display the time remaining to switch to the green light.

Seventh embodiment

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of a parking lot according to a seventh embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 7, in combination, in the present embodiment, the parking lot 200 further includes a plurality of parking spaces, such as 712 and 714, and also has a pedestrian entrance 716. In some cases, since the parked vehicle is too close to the entrance and exit lane 210, for example, there is another proximity card remote controller 706 in the vehicle 704 (which is identical to the proximity of the proximity card remote control 102, but the serial number and the inner code are different), and the processing unit 132 The authentication request AUT_REQ and the identification data continuously sent by the proximity card remote controller 706 placed thereon are received through the two-way transceiver unit 134. At this time, if there is another vehicle 204 in which the proximity card remote control 102 enters the entrance and exit lane 210 and enters the sensing area A1 or A3, the processing unit 132 sends a transmission request Tx_REQ through the two-way transceiver unit 134 to request the proximity card. The remote controller 102 transmits the identification data ID_Data. However, since the processing unit 132 first receives the identification data ID_Data transmitted by the proximity card remote controller 706 placed on the vehicle 704. If there is an in-and-out control parking lot, the processing unit 132 may consider that the received identification data ID_Data is the identification data of the inductive remote controller 706, and refuses to raise the gate 142, causing an error, so that the proximity card remote controller 102 The vehicle cannot enter the parking lot.

In order to solve this problem, in the present embodiment, in the vicinity of the entrance and exit lane 210 of the parking lot, a strength detector 702 may be installed, which is wired to the control module 104 in a wired or wireless manner. When the processing unit 132 receives the authentication request AUT_REQ through the bidirectional transceiver unit 134, the timer 402 is timed for a predetermined time. In addition, the detector 702 detects the signal strength when the signal sent by the proximity card remote controller is received. In this way, the processing unit 132 can determine whether the position of the proximity card remote controller 706 changes within a preset time by detecting the strength of the signal sent by the proximity card remote controller 706 by the intensity detector 702. .

If the processing unit 132 finds that when the preset time for the induction card remote controller 706 to send the authentication request AUT_REQ is completed, and the strength when receiving the signal does not change, it means that the proximity card remote controller 706 may be in a stationary state, so it will not The authentication card remote controller 706 performs other authentication procedures. As a result, the present embodiment does not cause a malfunction. In addition, if the processing unit 132 detects through the intensity detector 702 that the intensity of the signal sent by the proximity card remote controller changes after the preset time, the authentication procedure of the proximity card remote controller 102 is resumed. Of course, the function of the intensity detector 702 described above can also be directly used by the bidirectional transceiver unit 134 in the control module 104.

In other cases, such as when a vehicle carrying the proximity card remote control 102 enters the entrance and exit lane 210 from the second side of the gate 142 and enters the sensing area A1, the processing unit 132 may request the proximity of the proximity card thereon. The device 102 transmits the identification data ID_Data. When the processing unit 132 confirms that the identification data ID_Data is valid and raises the gate 142, if the vehicle has another reason and reverses the exit lane, the outsider is given an opportunity to invade the parking lot 200. Therefore, when the control module 104 raises the gate 142, but the intensity is detected by the intensity detector 702 or the two-way transceiver module 134 in the control module 104, the intensity of the signal received by the proximity card remote control 102 is gradually weakened. When it is weakened to a predetermined range, the timer 402 is caused to count a second waiting fall time, and after the second waiting fall time is counted, the gate 142 is lowered. The second waiting fall time is shorter than the first waiting fall time. In this way, it is possible to shorten the time when an outsider invades the parking lot 200.

Eighth embodiment

FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing a control system of a parking lot according to an eighth embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 8 , in the control system 800 provided by the embodiment, the proximity card remote controller 102 further includes a motion detector 802 and a timer 804 , which are respectively coupled to the processing unit 122 . The motion detector 802 can be a gyroscope, a motion detector, an accelerometer, or the like. In this embodiment, when the processing unit 122 determines through the motion detector 802 that the proximity card remote controller 102 is in a stationary state, the timer 804 starts to count for a rest time. Before the static time is counted, the processing unit 122 determines that the proximity card remote control 102 starts moving through the motion detector 802, and then resets the timer 804.

In contrast, when the rest time is timed out and the processing unit 122 determines through the motion detector 802 that the proximity card remote control 102 has not moved, the processing unit 122 may stop transmitting the authentication request AUT_REQ. In this way, the debugging mechanism in the seventh embodiment described above can be implemented, and the power consumption of the proximity card remote controller 102 can also be saved.

Of course, if the processing unit 122 stops transmitting the authentication request AUT_REQ and determines that the proximity card remote controller 102 starts moving through the motion detector 802, the transmission authentication request AUT_REQ is resumed.

Ninth embodiment

9 is a block diagram of a control system for a parking lot in accordance with a ninth embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 9, in the control system 900 provided in this embodiment, the proximity card remote controller 102 is further configured with an operation module 902. The operation module 902 has at least one operation unit, for example, a function button for controlling the gate to rise, stop (re-power), descend, and power off. When the operation unit in the operation module 902 is enabled, the processing unit 122 sends a remote control signal RMT through the two-way transceiver unit 124. On the other hand, when the processing unit 132 receives the remote control signal RMT through the two-way transceiver unit 134, the operation of the gate 142 is controlled according to the remote control signal RMT. In this way, the user can also control the lifting and lowering of the gate 142 by operating the module 902.

Of course, in some embodiments, the operation module 902 described above further includes an emergency button. When the emergency button is pressed, or when the operation unit for controlling the gate is pressed for a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds), the remote control signal RMT sent by the proximity card remote controller 102 can be used to control other device of. For example, it is possible to control the opening and closing of the corresponding garage gate in the parking lot, or the lighting of the parking lot, the anti-theft system, other control hosts, and the like.

Further, if the above-described button for operating the shutter 142 is raised, stopped, or lowered, it can be used for other purposes. For example, a button that raises the control gate 142 (also referred to as a first button) is changed to a one-button cycle control that controls the rise, stop, and fall of the gate 142; a button that controls the gate 142 to stop (also referred to as a second button) It can be set to control the rise, stop and fall single button circulation control of the private garage door; the button for controlling the falling of the gate 142 (also referred to as the third button) can be set as the opening key of the private alarm; and the control gate 142 is powered off. The button (also called the fourth button) can be set as the emergency call for the public parking lot; or when the third and fourth buttons are pressed together, it is the emergency call for use in the private garage. When the above various buttons perform different combination functions, the spirit of the present invention is not deviated.

Tenth embodiment

In the above embodiments, when the control module 104 receives a reset one-in-one-out signal or a disable one-in-one-out signal, the control module 104 ignores the state of the proximity card remote control 102. Only the read identification data ID_Data is used as the basis for whether or not the gate 142 is opened. In this way, the occupants can still get in and out of the parking lot when the system is in error.

In addition, in some embodiments, the control module 104 is further provided with a disable one-in-one-out timer. The disable one-in-one-out timer can be set at a preset time, for example, from 07:00 to 08:00 every morning, and from 17:20 to 18:20 in the afternoon (the time can be set arbitrarily). . Since the vehicles go in and out frequently during work and off-hours every day, the time to get in and out of the parking lot can be shortened. When the incompetence of the control signal is completed, the signals of all the proximity sensors will be reset. Of course, the disable one-in-one timer can also be implemented by using a timer register inside the processing unit 122 or an external timer.

Eleventh embodiment

FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing a control system of a parking lot according to an eleventh embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 10, the management system 1000 of the present embodiment further includes a management host 1002, and the signal is connected to the control module 104, for example, to the input/output module 136. Thereby, the management host 1002 can calculate the remaining number of parking spaces in the parking lot according to the state of each proximity card remote control 102, that is, the leaving state or the entering state. In addition, the management host 1002 can also display a management interface on its screen. In this way, the management host 1002 can display the number of parking spaces remaining in the current parking lot 200 to the management personnel on the management interface. In this embodiment, on the display interface, the parking spaces of the parked vehicles or the vacant parking spaces may also be marked with icons or characters of different colors.

In addition, the control system 1000 of the present embodiment further includes a display panel 1004 coupled to the management host 1002 and disposed on the second side of the gate 142. In the present embodiment, the management host 1002 can display the remaining number of parking spaces of the current parking lot 200 on the display panel 1004 to let the driver of the vehicle preparing to enter the parking lot 200 know the message.
