Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to an open parking lot intelligent management system based on self-sensing asphalt concrete pavement, belonging to the field of intelligent pavement materials and the field of urban open parking lot management. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of economy and the improvement of people's living standards, the number of family cars in China is increasing. This brings a great burden to the operation and management of urban traffic, especially the parking problem of vehicles is becoming increasingly serious. The relevant management departments of each city are implementing various measures to solve the problem of urban parking difficulty, which includes gradually opening the parking lots of public utility management units and fully utilizing or transforming the narrow space of existing urban pavement to set up open parking lots. Existing practical experiments have proved that the setting of urban pavement open parking lots has significantly eased the problem of urban parking difficulty, but the management of open parking lots currently relies on on-site staff to complete, on the one hand, manual charging has the problems of long charging time and heavy workload, on the other hand, charging by the time leads to the occurrence of unfair events, thereby reducing the turnover rate of short-term parking spaces; it can also rely on external cameras, infrared, ground magnetic coils and ultrasonic sensors to realize the management of open parking lots, but the installation of these sensors is difficult, the installation cost is high, the data needs to be frequently updated, and the road structure is damaged; in addition, when the above sensors are used in open parking lots, they can usually only detect whether a vehicle is parked or not, and manual or camera cooperation is required to complete the management of open parking lots, which greatly increases the cost and easily causes poor management problems, high cost and maintenance cost, the need for additional support structure greatly limits the real-time and accuracy of traffic signal collection. Under the premise of not affecting the use function of the pavement, setting up special sensors for open parking spaces and establishing a related information collection system is expected to solve the management difficulty problem of open parking lots.

[0003] The addition of conductive fillers can endow traditional pavement structure material, asphalt concrete, with electrical conductivity and sensing performance on the basis of ensuring excellent mechanical and deformation performance, and thus realize dynamic monitoring of vehicle parameters without external sensors. The integration of the monitored parameters, parking lock and mobile phone payment APP into a software integrated control system is an effective measure to solve the problems encountered in existing open parking lots. In addition, the self-sensing asphalt concrete pavement can be completed using conventional mixing and compaction processes, and can be paved only at the site of the proposed open parking lot, or a thin layer of self-sensing asphalt concrete can be paved on the existing asphalt concrete pavement, or it can be used as a rapid repair asphalt surface treatment and asphalt fine sand overlay. However, in existing studies, it is found that carbon-based nanofillers are difficult to disperse uniformly in asphalt concrete, thereby failing to form an effective conductive and sensing network; existing carbon fiber conductive materials are prone to brittle fracture during the large deformation of asphalt concrete pavement, thereby failing to ensure long-term stable sensing performance; and existing steel fiber conductive fillers are easily pushed away by coarse aggregates in asphalt concrete due to their large diameter and stiffness, thereby resulting in poor improvement effect on the electrical conductivity and sensing performance of asphalt concrete at low dosage, and high-dosage steel fibers will affect the compactness and durability of asphalt concrete. SUMMARY
