In order to explain the technical features of the present invention in detail, the following preferred embodiments are described below with reference to the drawings. Among them: Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 5, a parking scheme proposed by a preferred embodiment of the present invention The billing route planning method of the toll collector mainly has the following steps:

A) Confirm the toll collector billing area: as shown in FIG. 2, the toll collector identity 12 and its corresponding billing area 14 are confirmed by a toll collector handheld device 11, the billing area 14 has a plurality of road names 141 And a plurality of parking spaces 142 corresponding to the plurality of roads.

B) Obtain the parking grid usage status: as shown in FIG. 3, through the toll collector handheld device 11 and a server 21 wirelessly connected, the server 21 is corresponding to a parking grid database 22 that it has A parking grid usage table 24 is generated from all the parking grid usage records 221 in the billing area 14. This parking grid usage table 24 contains the status of each parking grid 142 in the billing area 14 being used/unused. In this step, the server 21 makes statistics based on the usage and unused time of each parking cell 142 (that is, the parking cell usage record 221) within the past 30 days in the parking cell database 22. In this embodiment, the usage/unused status of each parking grid 142 for each hour of each day in these 30 days is summed up, and then the summed values are averaged, which can be estimated by this statistic The time when the parking lot 142 may be used and may be unused on the day when the toll collector bills, that is, it can be borrowed In this way, the usage rate of each parking space at the current time point is estimated, and the parking space usage table 24 is generated from the parking space usage rate. The aforementioned 30 days are only examples, in fact, it can also take only 10 days, or 60 days, or only the data of the previous day for statistics, depending on the actual needs. In addition, the statistical method can also be estimated by simply adding the total value without averaging; or it can be added with the calculation of weights, and on holidays and non-holidays, weights are assigned to certain road sections to increase their values or Decrease by a predetermined percentage, that is, the statistical method of this embodiment can also be determined according to needs, and does not limit which calculation formula must be used.

C) Planning suggested billing route: as shown in Figure 4, the server 21 uses the table 24 according to the parking grid, and within the scope of the billing area 14, according to the parking grid 142 of each road at the current time point The higher the number of used, the higher the priority as the first condition, and then use the refurbishment rate of the parking spaces 142 of each road as the second condition, and the connection relationship of the roads as the third condition, and then The starting point can be combined with the end point as the fourth condition, automatically planning a recommended billing path 29, which includes the starting point S, the path and direction of all roads in the billing area 14, and the end point E . In this embodiment, the aforementioned condition is that the first condition takes precedence over the second condition, and the second condition takes precedence over the third condition, and the third condition takes precedence over the fourth condition for billing path planning, However, it is not limited by this priority order. If the road connection relationship in some billing areas 14 is poor, the third condition mentioned above needs to be changed as the most priority judgment condition. In other words, the aforementioned four conditions do not necessarily have a fixed order, but can be determined according to the actual situation.

In addition to the above four conditions, other conditions may be added as needed. For example, a fifth condition may be added: for each road with parking spaces 142 on both sides, the parking spaces 142 on both sides of the road The opening direction is defined as the opposite. This fifth condition is mainly to include the actual situation of "the billing directions of parking spaces on both sides of the road are opposite" when planning the billing route. This makes the billing route planning more complete. However, for a road with a parking space 142 on only one side, it is only necessary to plan a billing route in one direction.

D) Provide the suggested billing route to the toll collector: As shown in FIG. 5, the server 21 transmits the suggested billing route 29 to the toll collector handheld device 11, and the toll collector handheld device 11 sends the suggested billing route 29 The route from the start point to the end point is displayed on its display. The toll collector can open parking orders according to this recommended billing route 29 to achieve the most effective billing effect. For example, when the first condition mentioned above is used as the most priority condition, the toll gate is opened according to this recommended billing route 29 When parking a ticket, it can be expected that there will be the largest possible number of bills, that is, the most efficient billing path.

It can be seen from the above that through the above steps of the present invention, the server 21 (ie, the computer) can automatically plan the billing path of the parking lot toll collector, so as to facilitate the toll collector's reference and achieve the highest efficiency billing effect.

It should be added that after the toll collector of the parking bay performs the entire operation of opening a parking ticket according to the recommended billing path 29, the wireless connection relationship between the toll collector’s handheld device and the server, the server is It can count the billing cycle time required by the toll collector to perform a complete billing operation according to the proposed billing path 29, by which the billing cycle time can be matched with the aforementioned second condition (that is, the parking grid is used to renovate the rate ) To set a time point for the next time the toll collector performs the billing operation again, and notify the toll collector to start the charging action when the time point arrives, thereby achieving the highest efficiency billing effect.
