Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of parking lot management, and in particular to a method for realizing vehicle identity recognition through linkage. Background Art

[0002] In the existing parking lot management, vehicles enter and exit the parking lot by relying on license plate recognition cameras at the entrance and exit of the parking lot or the administrator's handheld device to take photos and identify the license plate. Each time a vehicle enters the lot, it needs to be re-identified. Once the license plate recognition equipment fails or the administrator is not on duty, the vehicle cannot enter the lot. In the parking lot scenario, if a vehicle enters the lot without a license plate recognition record, identity recognition cannot be achieved, which requires manpower to exclude the recognized license plate records from all the license plates on site, and then search and verify the unrecognized vehicles one by one, which is time-consuming and laborious. In the road toll parking scenario, due to the large number of repeat customers, after each vehicle enters the parking space, the administrator needs to bend down with a handheld device to identify the license plate of the front and rear of the vehicle and report the recognition record to the parking management system, which has the problem of great accident risks and high labor intensity. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for realizing vehicle identity recognition in linkage to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a method for realizing vehicle identity recognition by linkage, comprising the following steps: step 1, installing a Bluetooth scanning device; step 2, detecting an incoming vehicle and scanning the Bluetooth device information; step 3, sending the scanning information to a parking management system; step 4, identifying the incoming vehicle information and uploading it to the parking management system; step 5, associating the license plate number and the Bluetooth device; step 6, automatically recognizing the vehicle identity;

[0005] The above step 1 includes the following steps:

[0006] 1.1 Install a Bluetooth scanning device on the vehicle detector of the road parking space or the vehicle detector of the closed parking lot. The Bluetooth device and the vehicle detector share the same power supply. The installation position of the Bluetooth scanning device is consistent with the vehicle detector and is numbered and recorded in advance. The Bluetooth scanning device, vehicle detector, parking space (channel)

[0007] The number and the longitude and latitude of the berth (channel) form an associated relationship;

[0008] 1.2 Connect the Bluetooth device and the vehicle detector to the same communication device and communicate with the parking management system through the LAN or the Internet;

[0009] The above step 2 includes the following steps:

[0010] 2.1 After the vehicle detector detects the vehicle entering the parking lot, it sends a vehicle incoming signal to the communication device, and the communication device sends the vehicle detector number and the vehicle incoming signal to the parking management system;

[0011] 2.2 After receiving the vehicle detector number and the vehicle signal, the parking management system determines the location information of the vehicle detector, matches it with the location of the parking space or channel in the database, marks it as the record of the parking space or channel, and starts the Bluetooth scanning device installed on the vehicle detector through the communication device to scan the information of other Bluetooth devices within a one-meter range directly above;

[0012] In the above step 3, the scanning result in step 2.2 is sent to the parking management system through the communication device. If other Bluetooth devices are scanned, the unique number value of the Bluetooth device is sent to the parking management system, and the parking management system records the incoming vehicle signals and the unique number value of the Bluetooth device transmitted from the same parking space or the same channel at the same time in one flow; if no other Bluetooth devices are scanned, the result of no Bluetooth scanning information is returned to the parking management system;

[0013] In the above step 4, the parking management system commands the license plate recognition camera of the parking lot passage through the device communication protocol to automatically recognize the license plate number and color of the vehicle currently waiting to be released at the entrance and exit passage and upload it to the parking management system; for parking spaces or parking lot passages without license plate recognition equipment or with abnormal recognition results, the parking management system pushes the incoming vehicle information to the handheld device of the road parking space administrator to form a waiting recognition command. After receiving the message, the road parking space administrator goes to the parking space address stated in the message, recognizes the license plate number of the parked vehicle or records the license plate number after taking a photo, and uploads it to the parking management system;

[0014] In the above step 5, the parking management system associates the unique number value of the Bluetooth device obtained in step 3 with the license plate number according to the license plate number obtained in step 4, records it as the reference value of the license plate number, stores it in the database, and records the number of associations. The license plate number without Bluetooth scanning information is recorded normally; when the number of associations with the reference value reaches the set value, it can be determined that the license plate number and the Bluetooth device form a binding relationship, and the unique number value of the Bluetooth device is used as the binding value and stored in the database, and the number of associations is recorded. When the number of associations with the binding value reaches the set value, the unique number value of the Bluetooth device can be used as a confirmation value and stored in the database;

[0015] The above step six includes the following steps:

[0016] 6.1 When a vehicle enters a parking space or parking lot again, if there is no license plate recognition device or the recognition result is abnormal and the operator of the handset is not on duty, after the vehicle signal and Bluetooth scanning information are transmitted to the parking management system, the parking management system automatically searches the database for the license plate number information associated with the Bluetooth device;

[0017] 6.2 If the search result is a reference value, the vehicle entry information with the license plate number reference value is generated to form the entry notification information, which is pushed to the on-site administrator's handheld device or other terminals. The administrator will go to the berth or the site to find the vehicle for confirmation and then form the vehicle entry record;

[0018] 6.3 If the search result is a binding value, a vehicle entry information confirmation work order will be generated and sent to the management personnel. If the management personnel does not confirm within a certain period of time, it will automatically be converted into a formal entry record;

[0019] 6.4 If the search result is a confirmed value, the vehicle entry information will be automatically generated to complete the vehicle entry and evidence collection process.

[0020] Preferably, in step 1.1, the Bluetooth device is set to wake-up mode and is turned on only when the vehicle detector receives an oncoming vehicle signal. When the vehicle detector does not detect an oncoming vehicle signal, the Bluetooth device is in standby mode and does not scan and identify external devices.

[0021] Preferably, in step 1.2, the communication equipment includes but is not limited to a 4G gateway, a NB Internet of Things communication module, a network cable, a network switch or a router.

[0022] Preferably, in step 1.2, the parking space or parking lot passage where the vehicle detector is located is registered in the parking management system, and the transmission destination website or server IP address of the incoming vehicle signal is preset.

[0023] Preferably, in step 1.2, the parking management system implements a communication protocol and device registration with the Bluetooth device, and a transmission destination website or server IP address of the scanning result is preset.

[0024] Preferably, in step five, when a license plate number is associated with multiple Bluetooth device information, the Bluetooth device with the most association times is taken as the binding value, and the one with the least association times is taken as the reference value.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: for car owners who frequently enter and exit road parking spaces, the present invention can avoid multiple repeated evidence collection after implementing a one-time identity confirmation, thus saving the time for evidence collection and reducing the incidence of traffic accidents caused by manual evidence collection. For car owners who enter and exit closed parking lots, the problem of being unable to enter and exit the lot due to failure of the license plate recognition equipment is reduced, thereby reducing the probability of traffic congestion.

[0040] The above step six includes the following steps:

[0041] 6.1 When a vehicle enters a parking space or parking lot again, if there is no license plate recognition device or the recognition result is abnormal and the operator of the handset is not on duty, after the vehicle signal and Bluetooth scanning information are transmitted to the parking management system, the parking management system automatically searches the database for the license plate number information associated with the Bluetooth device;

[0042] 6.2 If the search result is a reference value, the vehicle entry information with the license plate number reference value is generated to form the entry notification information, which is pushed to the on-site administrator's handheld device or other terminals.
