Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for operating a parking garage system for a garage for a plurality of motor vehicles according to the preamble of claim 1. The invention also relates to a parking garage system. Background Art

[0002] Garages are known from the prior art, which allow the so-called automated valet parking of motor vehicles for autonomous entry and exit. In this case, the motor vehicle can be deposited in a handover area, for example, and then automatically parked by the garage parking system. The vehicle is retrieved by the user, for example, by a remote control, such as a smartphone. The motor vehicle then moves autonomously from the parking space in the garage into the handover area and can be retrieved by the driver. In this case, the garage parking system should be able to always return the motor vehicle to the handover area within a short time without a superior vehicle management system. In order to achieve the best possible utilization of the parking spaces available in urban areas with such systems, it may be meaningful to use an intelligent management system that allows the retrieval time of the corresponding motor vehicle to be estimated as accurately as possible.

[0003] DE 10 2015 201 205 proposes a method for optimizing the utilization of parking areas. In this case, vehicles to be parked in a parking area are each assigned a parking position, wherein the vehicle in particular autonomously controls its respectively assigned parking position. In addition, the vehicle can perform a change of parking position to achieve a better utilization of available parking spaces or a faster availability of the vehicle, thereby achieving an optimized utilization of the parking area as a whole. In this case, the available range of movement of the corresponding vehicle is first determined, and the allocation of the corresponding parking position and / or the possible change of the parking position are associated with the available range of movement of these vehicles. The available range of movement of the vehicle is described in particular by the remaining fuel or the charging state of the vehicle.

[0004] DE 10 2013 222 071 A1 proposes a parking space management system for valet parking, in which the start time of the automatic exit process is optimized. For this purpose, it is estimated or clearly preset when the driver of the parked vehicle is at a predefined pick-up position, so that the parking space management system according to the invention can transmit to the vehicle to be taken away when it must start the exit process so that it is at the pick-up position in time. For this purpose, the parking space management system has a calculation unit, which calculates the optimized start time for starting the exit process based on the preset pick-up time. Here, the exit trajectory can be considered based on the position of the assigned parking space or the pick-up position. Therefore, the duration required for the exit trajectory that the vehicle passes through from the assigned parking space to the pick-up position can be calculated.

[0005] DE 10 2016 219 698 proposes a parking space management system, which includes a computing unit. The parking space management system is configured to monitor the occupancy status of a preset parking space and allocate a parking space to the user's vehicle according to a parking entry request received by the user via a communication connection and transmit the position data of the allocated parking space to the vehicle via a communication connection. According to the invention, the parking space management system is configured to start the vehicle's unloading process at a starting time, wherein the vehicle moves to a preset pick-up position, in particular autonomously or remotely, and wherein the starting time is calculated by the computing unit based on a pick-up time determined based on the user's daily recorded data.

[0006] US 2006 / 0212344 A1 discloses a system for an automatic parking system, the system comprising a detection control system for detecting the occupancy status of a parking space, wherein the detection system provides a real-time occupancy status signal for the parking space, wherein the occupancy status signal includes an occupied mode and an unoccupied mode. In addition, the system has a communication subsystem connected to the detection subsystem for transmitting the occupancy status signal. In addition, the system has a management subsystem for receiving the occupancy status signal, wherein the management subsystem automatically processes a parking transaction for the parking space when the mode of the occupancy status signal changes. The method includes "automatically starting a parking transaction when a parking space or parking place is detected to be occupied" and "automatically ending a parking transaction when a parking space or parking place is detected to be vacant". Additional elements may include an authorization system and a notification system. The method includes an identification parking method for automatically identifying changes in the occupancy status of one or more parking spaces or parking places and, if necessary, automatically starting / ending a parking transaction using an occupancy status signal associated with each of the one or more parking spaces as a reaction to the correspondingly identified changes, and a method for manufacturing and using the disclosed system. Summary of the invention

[0007] The object of the present invention is to provide a method and a parking garage system, by means of which an improved garage utilization rate of a garage can be achieved.

[0008] This object is achieved by a method and a garage parking system according to the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments are described in the dependent claims.

[0009] One aspect of the present invention relates to a method for operating a garage parking system for a garage for multiple motor vehicles, wherein the current occupancy status of the garage is determined by means of an electronic computing device of the garage parking system, and wherein a quick-access parking space from a plurality of parking spaces in the garage is allocated to a motor vehicle to be parked based on the determined occupancy status, wherein the motor vehicle to be parked is placed in the allocated quick-access parking space without a driver.

[0010] Provision is made that, based on a judgment criterion, a message is transmitted to a user of the motor vehicle to be parked by means of an electronic computing device, wherein the message proposes a pick-up time determined by the electronic computing device to the user, and after the user accepts the pick-up time, the motor vehicle is parked from a quick access parking space to a long-term parking space in a driverless manner.

[0011] This allows for better garage utilization. An efficient vehicle management for an automated valet parking system corresponding to a garage parking system is thus proposed, which also allows the operator to plan when customers need the corresponding motor vehicle again and free up more parking spaces, so that the garage operator can provide additional parking spaces, especially during peak demand. At the same time, it allows for incentives to be offered to customers, provided that the customer agrees that he does not need the motor vehicle at a specified time or leaves it in the garage. This approach can provide an optimization for vehicle users through additional parking spaces or incentives, and the garage operator can achieve improved garage utilization.

[0012] In other words, it is particularly proposed that a garage equipped with an automated valet parking system continuously detects information on how many parking spaces are currently available. Therefore, the utilization rate can be continuously monitored. If, for example, at peak times, such as on Saturdays in the city center, the number of parking spaces is less than a certain number of free parking spaces, the user who has currently parked his vehicle in the garage through the automated valet parking system is contacted by the system. Based on the statistical data related to the available parking spaces in time collected by the automated valet parking system, a specific proposal can be made to the customer. Here, it is proposed to the customer that he wants to leave his vehicle in the garage for a certain time, such as until 10 o'clock on Monday. For this purpose, the customer, for example, obtains a reward in the form of parking time or a discount on parking fees. The number of related customers is increased or reduced depending on the customer's acceptance of the proposal. The motor vehicle of the customer who accepts this proposal or confirms the specified parking time can now be parked by the system in an area that is not easy to access.

[0013] In particular, this allows the parking garage system to offer additional parking spaces to other customers, especially during peak hours, by consolidating parking spaces or parking spaces, and to encourage customers to consider the offer by means of incentives. The parking garage system also monitors the usage of the garage or, after expiration of a period agreed by the customer, initiates autonomous re-parking in a standard parking space, which allows the customer to retrieve the vehicle within a few minutes.

[0014] In particular, it can be provided that if, for example, the garage is already "overcrowded", the user is directly offered to park the motor vehicle in a long-term parking space and a predetermined pick-up time is offered to the user. In other words, the motor vehicle is not directly parked in an assigned quick-access parking space, but directly in a long-term parking space.

[0015] In particular, the motor vehicle is at least partially automatically, in particular fully automatically, placed in the corresponding parking space. For this purpose, the motor vehicle can not only be designed to be autonomous, but also, for example, conveyor belts and lifts can be installed in the garage so that the autonomous movement of the motor vehicle can be initiated with the help of the garage.

[0016] The term "motor vehicle to be parked" here refers to a motor vehicle that has been deposited by a user. A motor vehicle to be parked can therefore not only be parked, for example, in a quick-access parking space or a long-term parking space, or moved to one of these parking spaces without a driver. The term "motor vehicle to be parked" is therefore not restricted to "motor vehicles to be moved without a driver", but only describes motor vehicles that have been deposited by a user in a garage.

[0017] According to an advantageous embodiment, when a motor vehicle to be parked is placed in a long-term parking space, the motor vehicle is parked in a shortest parking period that is higher than a preset parking period threshold. In other words, a shortest parking period is preset so that the user can be reliably offered a corresponding time to pick up the vehicle. This allows a reliable distinction between long-term parking spaces and quick-access parking spaces. For example, motor vehicles with a parking period shorter than the shortest parking period are placed in quick-access parking spaces, and motor vehicles with a parking period longer than the shortest parking period are placed in long-term parking spaces. This allows a better utilization of the garage.

[0018] It is also advantageous to park more motor vehicles and / or larger motor vehicles when the area of ​​the long-term parking space is the same as that of the quick-access parking space. In particular, it can be provided that stacked parking is carried out in the long-term parking space, which means that the motor vehicles are parked next to each other by the garage parking system, so that manual unloading is no longer possible because the motor vehicles are next to each other and, for example, the user can no longer open the door sufficiently to get in. In particular, loading or unloading can only be achieved without a driver by means of the garage parking system. In particular, more parking space can be provided by stacked parking, so that improved garage utilization can be achieved.

[0019] It is also advantageous that a pick-up time is proposed to the user only when a certain number of motor vehicles parked in the garage exceeds a number threshold. In particular, the garage can, for example, have a corresponding detection device, by means of which the number of parked motor vehicles can be monitored. A pick-up time is proposed to the user only when a number threshold is exceeded (for example, a garage utilization rate of more than 75%). In other words, if the garage utilization rate is low, the motor vehicle is placed in a quick-access parking space so that the user can get the motor vehicle at any time. The method according to the invention is only carried out when the number threshold is exceeded, so that the garage utilization can be better implemented.

[0020] Alternatively, the method can be performed when the number of free parking spaces falls below a vacancy threshold. In other words, the number of free parking spaces is detected and the method can be performed when the number of free parking spaces falls below a preset vacancy threshold.

[0021] According to another advantageous embodiment, the pick-up time is proposed based on statistical data on the time-dependent parking space availability. In particular, it can be provided, for example, that the average parking period of the motor vehicle is determined and that a pick-up time is proposed to the user as a function of the determined average parking period. In particular, for example, peak usage times in the garage can be taken into account. This allows for improved garage utilization, especially during peak times.

[0022] It is also advantageous if statistical data are determined and evaluated based on past occupancy states in the garage with the aid of an electronic computing device. In particular, the past occupancy states can be stored accordingly in a memory of the electronic computing device and evaluated accordingly. Based on the stored occupancy states, it is then possible to reliably determine at which moment the pick-up time is proposed to the user. The pick-up time can also be reliably determined. For example, the electronic computing device can have a neural network for this purpose, which learns based on past occupancy states on which days a higher number of customers is expected and, for example, whether the parking period of customers is prolonged over time. Statistical data can thus be determined in a manner adapted to the current situation so that the pick-up time can be reliably proposed to the user.

[0023] In another advantageous embodiment, the motor vehicle is placed in the quick access parking space at the time of pick-up. In particular, provision is made for the motor vehicle to be parked in the quick access parking space at the time of pick-up. In other words, the motor vehicle can be placed in advance before the time of pick-up, so that it is available to the customer in the quick access parking space at least at the time of pick-up. Alternatively or additionally, the motor vehicle can be placed in the handover area of ​​the garage at the time of pick-up.

[0024] It is also advantageous that the user also presets a minimum parking period and, based on the preset minimum parking period, an electronic calculation device is used to determine whether the motor vehicle is to be placed in a quick access parking space or a long-term parking space. For example, when parking a motor vehicle in the handover area, a customer can preset a minimum parking period to the garage parking system via a mobile terminal device, such as a smartphone. Based on this, it can be determined that if, for example, the shortest parking period is less than a preset threshold, the motor vehicle is parked in a quick access parking space. If, for example, the parking period is higher than a preset threshold, the electronic calculation device can decide to place the motor vehicle in a long-term parking space. In particular, the current occupancy status of the garage can be taken into account. This achieves an improved garage utilization rate.

[0025] It is also advantageous to use long-term parking spaces in the garage and / or long-term parking spaces outside the garage as long-term parking spaces. In other words, for example, long-term parking spaces in another garage provided outside the garage can be used, where the motor vehicles can be parked, for example, only by an automated valet parking system and parked in layers so that the motor vehicles are next to each other. Alternatively, it can be provided that the garage has both quick access parking spaces and long-term parking spaces, so that the motor vehicles are only stored in the corresponding garage.

[0026] Another aspect of the invention relates to a parking garage system for a garage for multiple motor vehicles, which has at least one electronic computing device, wherein the parking garage system is designed to carry out the method according to the preceding aspect. The method is carried out in particular by means of the parking garage system. The electronic computing device of the parking garage system for carrying out the method has in particular a corresponding computer program, by means of which the steps of the method can be carried out.

[0027] An advantageous embodiment of the method is regarded as an advantageous embodiment of a garage parking system. The garage parking system has the subject features which allow the method or its advantageous embodiments to be carried out. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0028] Further advantages, features and details of the invention are obtained from the following description of preferred embodiments and in conjunction with the drawings. The features and feature combinations mentioned above in the description and the features and feature combinations mentioned below in the description of the drawings and / or shown individually in the drawings can be used not only in the respectively indicated combination, but also in other combinations or individually without exceeding the scope of the invention, wherein:

[0029] Figure 1 A schematic top view of a garage with an embodiment of a garage parking system is shown;

[0030] Figure 2 A schematic flow chart showing an embodiment of the method according to the present invention;

[0031] Figure 3 Three time-dependent diagrams are shown which illustrate an embodiment of the method. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In the figures, identical or functionally identical components are provided with the same reference symbols.

[0033] Figure 1 An embodiment of a garage 10 with an embodiment of a garage parking system 12 is shown in a schematic top view. The garage 10 has a plurality of parking spaces, wherein the plurality of parking spaces are provided for a plurality of motor vehicles 14, 22. The garage 10 is designed as a so-called automated valet parking garage. In other words, the parking of motor vehicles 14, 22 is achieved in the garage 10 without a driver. For this purpose, the garage 10 can in particular have a handover area 16, where a user 18 can deposit a motor vehicle 14, 22, wherein the motor vehicle 14, 22 is then placed in one of the parking spaces. The garage 10 can also have a pick-up area 20, in which the motor vehicle 14, 22 can be picked up by the user 18.

[0034] In the present embodiment, a motor vehicle 22 to be parked is assigned to the user 18. In other words, the user 18 is, for example, the owner or the owner of the motor vehicle 22 to be parked. The motor vehicle 22 is thus a motor vehicle 22 to be parked. The motor vehicle 14 is a parked motor vehicle 14 that has been parked independently of the user 18.

[0035] In a method for operating a garage parking system 12 of a garage 10 for multiple motor vehicles 14, the current occupancy status of the garage 10 is determined by means of an electronic computing device 24 of the garage parking system 12, and a quick access parking space 26 is allocated to a motor vehicle 22 to be parked from a plurality of parking spaces in the garage 10 based on the determined occupancy status, wherein the motor vehicle 22 to be parked is placed in the allocated quick access parking space 26 without a driver.

[0036] Provision is made that, based on a decision criterion, a message 28 is transmitted to a user 18 of the motor vehicle 22 to be parked by means of an electronic computing device 24, wherein the message 28 proposes a pick-up time 30 determined by the electronic computing device 24 to the user 18, and after the user 18 accepts the pick-up time 30, the motor vehicle 22 to be parked is moved from the quick-access parking space 26 to the long-term parking space 32 without a driver.

[0037] The term "motor vehicle 22 to be parked" refers here to a motor vehicle 22 that has been deposited by a user 18. Thus, a motor vehicle 22 to be parked can not only be parked, for example, in a quick access parking space 26 or a long-term parking space 32, or moved to one of the parking spaces without a driver. The term "motor vehicle 22 to be parked" is therefore not limited to motor vehicles 22 that are "to be moved without a driver", but only describes a motor vehicle 22 that has been deposited by a user 18 in a garage. Here, the motor vehicle 22 to be parked is not parked, but is in the process of being parked without a driver.

[0038] Figure 1 In particular, it is shown that more motor vehicles 14, 22 and / or larger motor vehicles 14, 22 can be parked when the area of ​​the long-term parking space 32 is as large as that of the quick-access parking space 26. In other words, it is provided that a plurality of motor vehicles 14, 22 are parked next to one another in the long-term parking space 32. It can also be provided that a long-term parking space 32 of the garage 10 and / or a long-term parking space 32 outside the garage 10 is used as the long-term parking space 32.

[0039] Figure 1 It is also shown that when the motor vehicle 22 to be parked is placed in the long-term parking space 32, the motor vehicle 22 to be parked is parked for a minimum parking period that is higher than a preset parking threshold. It can also be provided that the parking space 10 is only stopped when a certain number of motor vehicles 14, 22 parked in the garage 10 is greater than a number threshold 44 ( Figure 3) is proposed to the user 18 at the time of picking up the car. The time of picking up the car 30 can be based on statistical data ( Figure 3 ). In particular, the statistical data can be determined and evaluated based on the past occupancy status in the garage 10 by means of the electronic computing device 24. In addition, it can be provided in particular that the motor vehicle 22 to be parked is placed in the quick access parking space 26 at the time of pick-up 30. In particular, the motor vehicle 22 to be parked is available to the user 18 in the quick access parking space 26 at the time of pick-up 30. In the present exemplary embodiment, it can be provided in particular that the motor vehicle 22 is provided in the pick-up area 20 at the time of pick-up 30.

[0040] In particular, provision can also be made for the user 18 to predetermine a minimum parking period and for the electronic computing device 24 to determine, based on the predetermined minimum parking period, whether the motor vehicle 22 to be parked should be placed in the quick-access parking space 26 or the long-term parking space 32 .

[0041] therefore, Figure 1 In particular, a parking garage system 12 is shown which achieves maximum utilization of available parking spaces, for example in urban areas, wherein an intelligent management system is used here which allows a very accurate estimation of the pick-up time 30 of the respective motor vehicle 14 , 22 .

[0042] The garage 10, which is particularly designed as an automated valet parking garage, continuously detects information about the number of parking spaces currently available, i.e. the occupancy status. Therefore, the utilization rate is continuously monitored. If, for example, at peak times, such as Saturdays, the number of free parking spaces in the city center is less than a certain number, the system contacts, for example, a user 18 who wants to park a motor vehicle 22 to be parked in the garage 10 by the automated valet parking system. Based on the statistical data related to the available parking spaces within the time t collected by the automated valet parking system, a specific pick-up time 30 can be proposed to the user 18. Here, the user 18 is proposed that he leave his motor vehicle 22 to be parked in the garage 10 for a certain time t, for example until 10 o'clock on Monday. For this purpose, the user 18, for example, obtains a reward or a discount on the parking fee in the form of parking time. The number of users 18 mentioned is increased or decreased depending on whether the user 18 accepts the proposal. The motor vehicles 14, 22 that accept this proposal or confirm a certain parking time can now be parked by the garage parking system 12 in a less accessible area, especially in a long-term parking space 32. This may be, for example, another adjacent garage in which motor vehicles 14, 22 are parked only by an automated valet parking system and are parked in a stacked manner, which means that motor vehicles 14, 22 are parked in such a manner next to each other by garage parking system 12 that manual exit from the garage is no longer possible because motor vehicles 14, 22 are parked next to each other and user 18 can no longer open the vehicle door far enough to get in.

[0043] Alternatively, the motor vehicle 14, 22 can also be moved out to another further garage. This approach significantly prolongs the time required for the garage parking system 12 to recall the motor vehicle 14, 22 to the handover area corresponding to the pick-up area 20. However, this is acceptable in this case because the user 18 has made a binding commitment regarding the determined pick-up time 30 of the motor vehicle 22 to be parked in the garage 10. Therefore, for the automated valet parking system, it is allowed to provide additional parking space to other customers by intensive parking spaces or parking spaces during peak hours, and to encourage the user 18 to consider this proposal through rewards. The garage parking system 12 also monitors the utilization rate of the parking space and after the expiration of the time limit agreed by the user 18, it encourages automatic re-parking in the quick access parking space 26, which allows the user 18 to retrieve the motor vehicle 22 to be parked within a few minutes.

[0044] Furthermore, when handing over motor vehicle 14 , 22 to the automated valet parking system, parking garage system 12 may store a time limit for the motor vehicle 22 to be parked to remain in garage 10 .

[0045] This approach makes it possible, in particular, to provide a flexible parking system with automated valet parking by means of a dynamic system and a dynamic proposal concept for the user 18, without having to specify a fixed stay time when transferring the motor vehicle 14, 22 to the parking garage system 12. At the same time, utilization peaks can be responded to in an all-round way.

[0046] Figure 2 A schematic flow chart according to an embodiment of the method is shown. The method starts in a first step S1. In a second step S2, the autonomous garage parking system 12 is started. In a third step S3, it is checked whether the number threshold 44 is exceeded. If this is not the case, the method remains in the third step S3. If the number threshold 44 is exceeded, the user 18 is contacted in a fourth step S4. In a fifth step S5, it is checked whether the user 18 accepts the proposal. If this is the case, the motor vehicle 22 to be parked is parked again in a sixth step S6. In a seventh step S7, it is checked whether the deadline, in other words, the time 30 for picking up the vehicle has expired. If this is not the case, it remains in the seventh step S7. If this is the case, the motor vehicle 22 to be parked is placed in a quick access parking space 26 in an eighth step S8. The method ends in a ninth step S9. If the user 18 does not accept the proposal from the fifth step S5, it is checked in a tenth step S10 whether the number of proposals accepted by other users is sufficient. If this is the case, it goes to the ninth step S9. If this is not the case, then in an eleventh step S11 other users are contacted, whereby a transition is then made from the eleventh step S11 to the fifth step S5 .

[0047] Figure 3The schematic diagram shows three different graphs over time t. The time t is plotted on the respective abscissa 34 of the three graphs. The availability of parking spaces is plotted on a first ordinate 36. The average pick-up time is plotted on a second ordinate 38. The density of parking spaces is shown on a third ordinate 40.

[0048] The first curve 42 thus shows that at the predetermined time t1 the number of available parking spaces is below a predetermined threshold value. In other words, at the time t1 the specific number of motor vehicles 14, 22 parked in the garage 10 is above the number threshold value 44. At the time t1, in particular the message 28 is transmitted to the user 18.

[0049] The second curve 46 shows in particular that the number of vehicles picked up increases at the time t1, in other words after the sending of the message 28. In particular, the average vehicle pick-up time increases at the time t1. In particular, the average pick-up time increases, because the shortest parking period is offered to the user 18, and thus the average parking period is extended.

[0050] The third curve 48 again shows that the density of parking spaces increases after the message 28 , since motor vehicles 14 , 22 are parked in long-term parking spaces 32 in particular.

[0051] on the whole, Figure 1-3 Autonomous vehicle management for an automated valet parking system is shown to optimize usage and parking space.
