Parking lot management system and method capable of automatically searching for free parking spaces

Abstract

The invention discloses a parking lot management system and method capable of automatically searching for free parking spaces. The system comprises a read sensor, an induction card, parking space occupying detectors, and a parking lot controller, wherein the read sensor is used for transmitting an excitation signal to a coming vehicle, receiving a response signal of a proximity card in the vehicle and transmitting the response signal to the parking lot controller; the induction card is used for receiving the excitation signal sent by the read sensor when the vehicle passes through the sensing region of the read sensor, generating the response signal and returning the response signal to the read sensor; the parking space occupying detectors are arranged on the parking spaces respectively and used for detecting whether vehicles are parked on the corresponding parking spaces or not and transmitting the information whether the parking spaces are occupied or not to the parking lot controller; the parking space controller is used for receiving the parking space occupying information sent by all the parking space occupying detectors, storing and updating the free parking space information in real time and displaying the free parking space information on an entrance screen. By means of the parking lot management system and method, when a driver can know the parking space occupying condition of the parking lot when the driver drives into the parking lot, and the time spent in looking for the parking spaces is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of intelligent parking lot management, in particular to a parking lot management system and method for automatically searching for vacant parking spaces. Background technique [0002] With the development of social economy and the rapid increase of the number of various vehicles in the city, many cities plan to build large parking lots in the central area to meet the parking needs of the public. In response to the needs of modern large-scale parking lot management, it is necessary to manage the parking lot itself and the vehicles entering and leaving. However, the manual management method is inefficient and expensive, and cannot meet the functional requirements. Therefore, the concept of intelligent parking management system is proposed to manage modern parking lots and vehicles. It uses a proximity card as a carrier, such as an IC card or an ID card, and uses a smart device to make the proximity card reco...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, although the existing intelligent parking lot has a full detection function, when the number of vehicles entering the parking lot reaches the number of parking spaces, the electronic display at the entrance shows that the parking spaces are full.

Of course, the number of remaining parking spaces can also be displayed, but the specific location of the remaining parking spaces cannot be known, which makes it time-consuming for drivers to find parking spaces after entering the parking lot
