Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of parking devices, specifically to an intelligent parking guidance device for passenger vehicles and hazardous material transport vehicles in service areas. Background Technology

[0002] "Two-passenger-one-dangerous-goods" vehicles refer to chartered buses used for tourism, Class III or above scheduled passenger buses, and special road vehicles used for transporting hazardous chemicals, fireworks, and civilian explosives. Due to the special nature of their transportation, accidents involving these vehicles often result in serious consequences.

[0003] Due to the nature of their operation, "passenger and dangerous goods" vehicles frequently travel on highways, and therefore inevitably need to stop and linger in highway service areas.

[0004] On the one hand, since highway service area parking lots are generally open-air, the poor lighting makes it difficult to find available parking spaces when passenger vehicles and hazardous material transport vehicles arrive at the service area at night or in rainy weather. On the other hand, the large vehicle parking spaces in highway service areas are set at an angle of about 45° to the aisle in front of the parking spaces rather than perpendicularly, which means that the view of the empty parking spaces behind the parking lot is blocked by the large vehicles already parked in front, making it difficult to find available parking spaces quickly and easily.

[0005] In response to this situation, this utility model provides an intelligent parking guidance device for "passenger and dangerous goods" vehicles in service areas, which helps drivers quickly find available parking spaces. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an intelligent parking guidance device for "passenger and dangerous goods" vehicles in service areas that makes it easier for drivers to quickly find available parking spaces.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0008] A smart parking guidance device for passenger and hazardous goods vehicles in a service area includes a central control module and a parking guidance component installed in the parking space of the service area. The central control module is signal-connected to the parking guidance component.

[0009] The parking guidance component includes a parking space status sensing module and parking space status lights.

[0010] The parking space status sensing module can sense whether the parking space in the service area is currently vacant or in use. The parking space status sensing module is connected to the central control module via a signal.

[0011] The parking space status light is installed above the parking space in the service area, facing the ground in front of the parking space, and is connected to the central control module.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the parking space status sensing module detects whether a parking space is currently vacant or in use, and then sends the status information to the central control module. Based on this information, the central control module controls the parking space status lights to illuminate the ground in front of the corresponding parking space. This allows drivers of passenger vehicles and hazardous materials transport vehicles to observe the lighting conditions on the ground in front of the parking space and determine where a usable parking space is. Firstly, the availability of parking spaces is displayed on the ground using lighting information, providing strong contrast and clear indication in cloudy or rainy weather and at night. Secondly, the lighting information observed by the driver is located in an aisle where their view is not obstructed by parked vehicles, making it easier for drivers of passenger vehicles and hazardous materials transport vehicles to quickly find available parking spaces.

[0013] Specifically, let's take the example of a parking space status light shining green when it's vacant and red when it's in use. Drivers of passenger vehicles and hazardous materials transport vehicles observe the aisle between the two parking spaces. If all the lights in the aisle are red, it means all parking spaces in that aisle are occupied, and there are no available spaces. The driver then moves to the next aisle to find a parking space. When a green light is on the aisle, it means there is an available parking space, and the driver can drive directly to that location to park.

[0014] As an improvement, the parking space status light is equipped with a text imaging module, which is signal-connected to the central control module; the parking space status light can project the text information sent by the central control module to the text imaging module onto the ground in front of the parking space.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the central control module can make the parking space status light illuminate text on the ground, such as "vacant space" or other text that clearly indicates that the parking space is available. This makes the meaning clearer, avoids ambiguity, and makes it easier for drivers to find their assigned parking space based on the license plate information illuminated on the ground.

[0016] As an improvement, an entry license plate recognition sensor is also included. The entry license plate recognition sensor is used to identify the license plate information of "two-passenger-one-dangerous-goods" vehicles. The entry license plate recognition sensor is connected to the central control module via signal.

[0017] The license plate recognition sensor is installed at the entrance gate of the service area or at the entrance of the corresponding parking lot for "passenger and dangerous goods" vehicles in the service area.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the central control module can identify the license plate information of "two-passenger-one-dangerous" vehicles entering the service area based on the license plate recognition sensor, and start the parking space status lights.

[0019] As an improvement, a departure license plate recognition sensor is also included. The departure license plate recognition sensor is used to identify the license plate information of "two-passenger-one-dangerous-goods" vehicles. The departure license plate recognition sensor is connected to the central control module via signal.

[0020] The departure license plate recognition sensor is installed at the departure gate of the service area or at the exit of the corresponding parking lot for "passenger and dangerous goods" vehicles in the service area.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the central control module can identify the license plate information of passenger vehicles and hazardous material transport vehicles leaving the service area based on the departure license plate recognition sensor. When a passenger vehicle or hazardous material transport vehicle enters the service area but leaves directly without stopping, the central control module can promptly detect that the vehicle no longer needs to be provided with parking guidance services, thus stopping the parking space status lights and saving energy.

[0022] As an improvement, the parking space status sensing module further includes a parking space license plate recognition sensor, which is located above and in front of the parking space and faces the front of the parking space; the parking space license plate recognition sensor is signal-connected to the central control module.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, each parking space is equipped with a license plate recognition sensor. When a vehicle parks in a parking space, regardless of whether the vehicle is parked in the corresponding parking space assigned by the central control module, the central control module can promptly know that the vehicle has completed parking, and the parking space status light will stop working, saving energy.

[0024] As an improvement, the parking space status sensing module includes a geomagnetic sensor, which is buried under the ground of the parking space and is signal-connected to the central control module.

[0025] By employing the above technical solution, the geomagnetic sensor can determine the parking space status by detecting changes in the Earth's magnetic field caused by a vehicle parking. When a vehicle parks in a parking space, the magnetic field strength changes significantly, and the sensor determines whether the parking space is occupied based on this change.

[0026] As an improvement, the geomagnetic sensor is buried under the ground at the front, middle, and rear of the parking space where the parking space status sensing module is located.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, geomagnetic sensors can be used at the front, middle and rear of the parking space to determine whether there is a vehicle parked above it, thereby determining the length of the vehicle parked in the parking space and whether the parking space is occupied by a small vehicle.

[0028] As an improvement, the parking space status sensing module also includes a vehicle height sensor, which is positioned above the parking space and is signal-connected to the central control module.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the central control module can determine the height of the vehicle in the parking space based on the reading of the height sensor, and thus determine whether the parking space is occupied by a small vehicle.

[0030] As an improvement, a parking space status display screen is also provided. The parking space status display screen is connected to the central control module and displays the current location and availability information of the parking spaces in the service area.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, drivers can observe the parking space status display screen to know the location of their assigned parking space and how to get there. Furthermore, drivers can also observe which parking spaces in the parking lot have more available spaces and park their vehicles there independently.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0033] After the parking space status sensing module detects whether a parking space is currently vacant or in use, it sends the status information to the central control module. Based on this information, the central control module controls the parking space status lights to illuminate the ground in front of the corresponding parking space. This allows drivers of passenger vehicles and hazardous materials transport vehicles to observe the lighting conditions in front of the parking space and determine where a usable parking space is. Firstly, the lighting information on the ground displays the availability of parking spaces, providing strong contrast and clear indication, especially in cloudy or rainy weather and at night. Secondly, the lighting information observed by the driver is located in an aisle where the view is not obstructed by parked vehicles, making it easier for drivers of passenger vehicles and hazardous materials transport vehicles to quickly find available parking spaces.

[0049] Implementation Case 1:

[0050] As attached Figure 1-5 As shown, a smart parking guidance device for "two-passenger-one-dangerous" vehicles in a service area includes a central control module and a parking guidance component 1 installed in a parking space 9 in the service area. The central control module is signal-connected to the parking guidance component 1.

[0051] The parking space guidance component 1 includes a parking space status sensing module and a parking space status light 2;

[0052] The parking space status sensing module can sense whether the parking space 9 in the service area is currently vacant or in use. The parking space status sensing module is connected to the central control module via a signal.

[0053] The parking space status light 2 is installed on the support frame 8 above the parking space 9 in the service area. The parking space status light 2 is positioned facing the ground in front of the parking space. The parking space status light 2 is connected to the central control module via signal.

[0054] After the parking space status sensing module detects whether parking space 9 is currently vacant or in use, it sends the status information to the central control module. Based on this information, the central control module controls the parking space status lights 2 to illuminate the ground in front of the corresponding parking space 9. This allows drivers of passenger and hazardous materials transport vehicles to observe the lighting conditions in front of parking space 9 and determine where a usable parking space 9 is. Firstly, the availability of parking space 9 is displayed on the ground using lighting information; in cloudy or rainy weather and at night, the strong contrast of the light provides a clear indication. Secondly, the lighting information observed by the driver is located in an aisle where the view is not obstructed by parked vehicles, making it easier for drivers of passenger and hazardous materials transport vehicles to quickly locate a usable parking space 9.

[0055] The parking space status light 2 is equipped with a text imaging module, which is connected to the central control module via a signal. The parking space status light 2 can project the text information sent by the central control module to the text imaging module onto the ground in front of the parking space.

[0056] The central control module enables the parking space status lights to project text onto the ground, such as "vacant," clearly indicating that the parking space is available. This makes the meaning clearer and avoids ambiguity, making it easier for drivers to find their assigned parking space based on the license plate information projected onto the ground.

[0057] It also includes an entry license plate recognition sensor 3, which is used to identify the license plate information of "two-passenger-one-dangerous" vehicles. The entry license plate recognition sensor 3 is connected to the central control module via signal.

[0058] The license plate recognition sensor 3 is installed at the entrance gate of the service area or at the entrance of the corresponding parking lot for "passenger and dangerous goods" vehicles in the service area.

[0059] The central control module can identify the license plate information of "two-passenger-one-dangerous" vehicles entering the service area based on the license plate recognition sensor 3, and start the parking space status lights.

[0060] It also includes a departure license plate recognition sensor 4, which is used to identify the license plate information of "two-passenger-one-dangerous" vehicles. The departure license plate recognition sensor 4 is connected to the central control module via signal.

[0061] The departure license plate recognition sensor 4 is installed at the departure gate of the service area or at the exit of the corresponding parking lot for "passenger and dangerous goods" vehicles in the service area.

[0062] The central control module can identify the license plate information of passenger vehicles and hazardous material transport vehicles leaving the service area using the departure license plate recognition sensor 4. When a passenger vehicle or hazardous material transport vehicle enters the service area but leaves directly without stopping, the central control module can promptly detect that the vehicle no longer needs to be provided with parking guidance services, thus stopping the parking space status lights and saving energy.

[0063] The parking space status sensing module also includes a parking space license plate recognition sensor 5, which is installed on the support frame 8 above and in front of the parking space and faces the front of the parking space; the parking space license plate recognition sensor 5 is connected to the central control module via signal.

[0064] Each parking space 9 is equipped with a license plate recognition sensor 5. When a vehicle parks in a parking space, regardless of whether the vehicle is parked in the space assigned by the central control module, the central control module can promptly know that the vehicle has completed parking and no further parking guidance service is needed. This allows for timely termination of parking guidance for the vehicle, preventing the system from idling or freezing.

[0065] The parking space status sensing module includes a geomagnetic sensor 6, which is buried under the ground of the parking space and is connected to the central control module.

[0066] The geomagnetic sensor 6 can determine the parking space status by detecting changes in the Earth's magnetic field caused by a vehicle parking. When a vehicle parks in a parking space, the magnetic field strength changes significantly, and the sensor uses this change to determine whether the parking space is occupied.

[0067] The geomagnetic sensor 6 is buried under the ground at the front, middle, and rear of the parking space where the parking space status sensing module is located.

[0068] The front, middle and rear of the parking space can be equipped with geomagnetic sensors 6 to determine whether there are vehicles parked above it, thereby determining the length of the vehicles parked in the parking space and whether the parking space is occupied by small vehicles.

[0069] The parking space status sensing module also includes a vehicle height sensor, which is positioned above the parking space and is signal-connected to the central control module.

[0070] The central control module can determine the height of the vehicle in the parking space based on the readings from the height sensor, and thus determine whether the parking space is occupied by a small vehicle.

[0071] The system also includes a parking space status display screen 7, which is connected to the central control module. The parking space status display screen 7 displays the current location and availability information of the parking spaces 9 in the service area.

[0072] Drivers can observe the parking space status display screen 7 to know the location of their assigned parking space and how to get there. They can also see which parking spaces in the parking lot have more availability and park their vehicles there independently.

[0073] In summary, after reading this utility model document, those skilled in the art can make various other corresponding modifications based on the technical solution and concept of this utility model without creative mental effort. Different application scenarios are all within the scope of protection of this utility model.
