If the match is not successful, the message will be removed from the match pool until the message exceeds the set match time threshold.

The matching steps of the matching algorithm are as follows:

1) Check whether there is any vehicle parking in the nearby range according to the coordinates of the parking space.

2) If the result of step 1) is no vehicle parking, then increase the range and continue to search until the out of range threshold (such as 10-50 meters, but not limited to this value). The threshold can be selected according to actual environmental conditions.

3) If the result of step 1) is that there is a vehicle parking, then the comparison between the occupied time of the parking space and the vehicle rest time is matched.

4) If the result of step 3) is not matched, the time window is appropriately increased to continue matching until the time threshold is exceeded (eg, 5-10 minutes, but not limited to this value). The threshold can be selected according to the actual situation.

5) If the result of step 3) is matched, it is judged whether there are multiple vehicles matching the parking space, and the comprehensive time and position (the closer the position is, the better the time is, the better the time is), and the best matching result is obtained.

According to the above embodiment, it can be seen that with the method and system of the present invention, the vehicle and the parking space can be accurately matched, the vehicle parking can be accurately timed and billed, and the parking fee can be automatically charged after the vehicle leaves. .
