Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of parking fee collection, and in particular relates to a dynamically adjustable parking space system and method thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization, the number of vehicles in cities has increased dramatically, and on-street parking resources have become increasingly scarce, becoming a bottleneck problem that restricts smooth urban traffic and the improvement of residents' quality of life. Reasonable planning of on-street parking spaces and improving the utilization rate of parking spaces are of great significance to alleviating parking difficulties and improving the traffic environment. However, the current setting and management methods of on-street parking spaces have many shortcomings and need to be improved urgently.
[0003] At present, on-street parking spaces are generally planned in a unified way, without fully considering the differences in vehicle sizes. As a result, in actual use, some large vehicles such as trucks and SUVs have to occupy adjacent parking spaces when parking because their body length exceeds the standard parking space length, resulting in the phenomenon of "one car occupying two spaces". This not only seriously affects the normal turnover of parking spaces, but also brings troubles to the charging management of on-street parking spaces. Some charging units therefore charge two parking fees for such vehicles, which increases the economic burden of car owners and also triggers social controversy. What is more serious is that such irregular parking behavior may also hinder traffic, causing traffic police to issue tickets to illegal vehicles, further exacerbating the conflict between car owners and management departments.
[0004] On the other hand, small-sized vehicles such as the "Chopped Pepper Fish Head" are much shorter than standard parking spaces, but they still occupy a complete parking space. This not only causes a huge waste of parking resources, but also puts the charging units of on-street parking spaces in a dilemma of losses. Especially during peak parking demand periods, small vehicles occupy too many parking resources, exacerbating the problem of parking difficulties and affecting the smooth operation of urban traffic.
[0005] In summary, the existing on-street parking space setting and management methods can no longer meet the actual needs of the diversification of vehicle sizes, and a system and method that can dynamically adjust and efficiently utilize parking space resources is urgently needed. The system should be able to flexibly adjust the size of parking spaces according to the actual size of different vehicle models to ensure that each parking space can be maximized, thereby effectively solving the problem of on-street parking difficulties, improving the level of urban traffic management, and providing citizens with more convenient and efficient parking services. Summary of the invention

[0015] The control module can control the movement of the slide corresponding to the target berth according to the vehicle type, driving the distance between two adjacent cross - plates of the target berth to conform to the target distance, which not only meets the requirements of different vehicle types for berth dimensions, but also improves the utilization rate and flexibility of the berth.

[0021] As a further improvement of the above solution, the sensing module further includes a diffuse reflection unit, and the diffuse reflection unit is arranged on each sliding table, and the sensing probe of the diffuse reflection faces the parking area, and is used to sense whether the parking position of the vehicle exceeds the range of the dynamic berth.
[0022] As a further improvement of the above solution, the control module is further connected with a warning light, and the control module makes a response judgment according to the sensing information fed back by the sensing module. The response judgment process is as follows:
[0023] (1) If neither the first pair of light-emitting and light-receiving units nor the second pair of light-emitting and light-receiving units feed back sensing information, the control module does not respond.
[0024] (2) If the first pair of light-emitting and light-receiving units feed back sensing information and the second pair of light-emitting and light-receiving units do not feed back sensing information, the control module determines it as a false trigger and does not respond.
[0025] (3) If the first pair of light-emitting and light-receiving units and the second pair of light-emitting and light-receiving units feed back sensing information in sequence, the control module determines that there is a vehicle to be parked driving into the target berth; the control module mobilizes the evidence-taking module to move to the target berth to take pictures and collect evidence; controls the movement of each sliding table to drive the distance between two adjacent cross plates of the target berth to meet the target distance, and the distance between two adjacent cross plates of the remaining dynamic berths to meet the preset distance;
[0026] Meanwhile, start the diffuse reflection units on the two sliding tables corresponding to the target berth to sense the parking position of the vehicle to be parked in real time; if the diffuse reflection unit feeds back sensing information, the control module determines that the parking position exceeds the range, and the warning light is lit to give a warning to the vehicle to be parked until the diffuse reflection unit does not feed back sensing information;
[0027] (4) If the second pair of light-emitting and light-receiving units and the first pair of light-emitting and light-receiving units feed back sensing information in sequence, the control module determines that there is a vehicle to be parked driving out of the target berth; the control module mobilizes the evidence-taking module to move to the target berth to take pictures and collect evidence; controls the movement of each sliding table to drive the distance between two adjacent cross plates of each dynamic berth to return to the preset distance.

[0052] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0053] A dynamically adjustable berth system is applied to parking management; at least one side of the road is provided with two longitudinal lines; the two longitudinal lines are arranged in parallel along the extension direction of the road; there is a space between the two longitudinal lines to form a parking area for on-road parking of vehicles; it includes:
[0054] The berth adjustment module 1 comprises a linear guide rail 11 arranged along the extension direction of the road, the linear guide rail 11 is arranged outside the road and close to the two longitudinal lines; a plurality of slides 12 are slidably connected to the linear guide rail 11, each slide 12 has an independent power source; each slide 12 is transmission-connected to a transverse plate 13 in the direction of the longitudinal line, the transverse plate 13 is arranged perpendicular to the two longitudinal lines; there is a preset distance between two adjacent transverse plates 13, and they intersect with the two longitudinal lines to form a dynamic berth; the area of the dynamic berth increases or decreases with the movement of the corresponding slides 12 of the two adjacent transverse plates 13;
[0055] The sensing module 2 is arranged on the berth adjustment module 1, and is used to sense whether a vehicle enters, exits or stays in the dynamic berth, and sends the sensing information to the control module; the application of the sensing module 2 greatly improves the intelligent level of berth management. It can sense the status of the dynamic berth in real time, including whether a vehicle enters, exits or stays, and feeds this information back to the control module in a timely manner, so that the control module can quickly grasp the occupancy of the berth and make reasonable scheduling and planning.
[0056] The evidence collection module 3 is arranged on the linear guide rail 11, and is used to obtain the vehicle information of the vehicle to be parked, and to collect evidence of the parking process of the vehicle; the evidence collection module 3 is provided with at least a camera, and the camera is used to collect the image of the vehicle to be parked, and send the image to the control module; the control module obtains the vehicle information by retrieving the database through the image recognition; the vehicle information includes the vehicle model, license plate number, dynamic parking space number, entry time, and exit time; the setting of the evidence collection module 3 enhances the standardization and safety of parking management. The camera can collect the image of the vehicle to be parked, and recognize the vehicle information in the image, such as the vehicle model, license plate number, etc., through the control module. This information not only provides a basis for the calculation and settlement of parking fees, but also provides important clues and evidence when the vehicle is damaged or lost.
[0057] The control module (not shown) is used to mobilize the evidence collection module 3 to move to the dynamic parking space to be parked according to the sensing information, take photos to obtain vehicle information; the dynamic parking space to be parked is recorded as the target parking space; the control module confirms the model of the vehicle to be parked according to the vehicle information, and controls the movement of the slide 12 corresponding to the target parking space according to the model, so that the distance between two adjacent horizontal boards 13 of the target parking space meets the target distance, and the distance between two adjacent horizontal boards 13 of the other dynamic parking spaces meets the preset distance. In this embodiment, when the length dimension of the vehicle corresponding to the model is L 车 , if the length of Wuling Hongguang MINI is about 3 meters, then the target distance L 目 The size range is: L 车 *(1+a)≤L 目 ≤L 车*(1 + 2a), where 0.15 < a ≤ 0.2; specifically, in this embodiment, a = 0.2 is preferably selected, then the target distance L 目 has a size range of: 3.6 meters ≤ L 目 ≤ 4.2 meters.
[0058] When the standard length size of the berth is L 标 , such as 6 meters, then the preset distance L 预 has a size range of: L 标 *(1 - b) ≤ L 预 ≤ L 标 *(1 + b), where 0 < b ≤ 0.1. Specifically, in this embodiment, a = 0.1 and b = 0.2 are preferably selected, and the preset distance L 预 has a size range of: 5.4 meters ≤ L 预 ≤ 6.6 meters.
[0059] The control module can control the movement of the slide 12 corresponding to the target berth according to the vehicle type, and drive the distance between two adjacent cross plates 13 of the target berth to meet the target distance. This design enables the size of the berth to be dynamically adjusted according to the vehicle type of the vehicle to be parked, which not only meets the requirements of different vehicle types for the berth size, but also improves the utilization rate and flexibility of the berth. In addition, the size ranges of the target distance and the preset distance are also set in the technical features to ensure the accuracy and rationality of the berth adjustment. By setting a reasonable error range, both the flexibility of the berth adjustment is ensured, and the problem that the berth cannot be used or the vehicle is inconvenient to park due to excessive error is avoided.
[0060] In this embodiment, the sliding table 12 includes a base plate 121. An active sprocket 122 and a driven sprocket 123 are provided on the upper end surface of the base plate 121, and they are driven and connected by a chain; pulley 124 and drive roller 125 are respectively provided on the lower end surface of the base plate 121, and the pulley 124 and the drive roller 125 jointly embrace the linear guide 11; among them, the driven sprocket 123 is in transmission connection with the drive roller 125. During the movement of the sliding table 12, the active sprocket 122 serves as the power input end, and transmits the power to the driven sprocket 123 through the chain, thereby driving the sliding table 12 to move along the linear guide 11. This design not only ensures the stability of the movement of the sliding table 12, but also improves the transmission efficiency, enabling the sliding table 12 to quickly and accurately reach the designated position. The pulley 124 and the drive roller 125 jointly embrace the linear guide 11, realizing good contact and support between the sliding table 12 and the linear guide 11, ensuring the stability and reliability of the sliding table 12 during movement. The pulley 124 mainly plays a role in guiding and supporting, which can reduce the frictional resistance between the sliding table 12 and the linear guide 11, enabling the sliding table 12 to move more smoothly. The drive roller 125 converts the power of the chain drive into the power for the sliding table 12 to move along the linear guide 11 through the transmission connection with the driven sprocket 123, realizing the active movement of the sliding table 12, enabling the sliding table 12 to make precise movements and adjustments according to actual needs, and meeting the usage requirements in different scenarios.
[0061] In this embodiment, the sliding table 12 is pivotally connected or hinged to the cross plate 13, and the cross plate 13 can be turned over around the connection point. This connection method endows the cross plate 13 with great flexibility. When the cross plate 13 is not needed to form a berth, the cross plate 13 can be easily turned over around the connection point, so as to be folded or stored near the sliding table 12, greatly saving space. This is particularly important for environments with limited space such as urban roads, which can effectively reduce the floor area of the berth system when not in use and improve the space utilization rate. In addition, to prevent the cross plate 13 from being crushed and deformed by vehicles, the cross plate 13 is made of anti-compressive and wear-resistant materials such as high-strength steel. The cross plate 13 can also be split into multiple components, such as a connection part connected to the sliding table 12 and a moving part provided on the berth. The connection part and the moving part are tightly connected by magnetic cooperation. When any component of the cross plate 13 is damaged, it can be quickly replaced to improve the usage stability of the berth system.
[0062] In this embodiment, at least two linear guide rails 11 are provided, and the two linear guide rails 11 are arranged in parallel; among them, each cross plate 13 is on the same linear guide rail 11 through a slide table 12; the evidence collection module 3 is provided with the slide table 12 and is arranged on the other linear guide rail 11 through the slide table 12. By providing at least two linearly arranged parallel guide rails 11, the separate operation of the cross plate 13 and the evidence collection module 3 is realized. Each cross plate 13 moves on the same linear guide rail 11 through the slide table 12, focusing on the dynamic adjustment of the berth and the parking management of vehicles; while the evidence collection module 3 operates on the other linear guide rail 11 through the slide table 12, focusing on the acquisition of vehicle information of the vehicle to be parked and the evidence collection during the parking process. This design enables the cross plate 13 and the evidence collection module 3 to operate independently without interference, improving the overall efficiency and reliability of the berth system.
[0063] In this embodiment, the induction module 2 includes a first pair of light-emitting and receiving units 21 and a second pair of light-emitting and receiving units 22, and each pair of light-emitting and receiving units includes a transmitting end and a receiving end;
[0064] The first pair of light-emitting and receiving units 21 is used to sense whether a vehicle drives into or out of the dynamic berth; the transmitting end and the receiving end of the first pair of light-emitting and receiving units 21 are arranged facing each other, and are respectively arranged on the two cross plates 13 corresponding to the target berth, at one end of the cross plate 13 away from the slide table 12; the second pair of light-emitting and receiving units 22 is used to sense whether a vehicle stays in the dynamic berth; at least two second pair of light-emitting and receiving units 22 are provided, and are distributed in a cross-shaped and opposite light-emitting arrangement on the two cross plates 13 corresponding to the target berth.
[0065] In this embodiment, the induction module 2 further includes a diffuse reflection unit 23, and the diffuse reflection unit 23 is arranged on each slide table 12, and the induction probe of the diffuse reflection faces the parking area, and is used to sense whether the parking position of the vehicle exceeds the range of the dynamic berth.
[0066] In this embodiment, the control module is further connected with a warning lamp, and the control module makes a response judgment according to the induction information fed back by the induction module 2. The response judgment process is as follows:
[0067] (1) If neither the first pair of light-emitting and receiving units 21 nor the second pair of light-emitting and receiving units 22 feeds back induction information, the control module does not respond.
[0068] (2) If the first pair of light-emitting and receiving units 21 feeds back induction information and the second pair of light-emitting and receiving units 22 does not feed back induction information, the control module determines it as a false trigger and does not respond.
[0069] (3) The first beam-receiving unit 21 and the second beam-receiving unit 22 sequentially feed back sensing information, and the control module determines that the vehicle to be parked has entered the target parking space; the control module mobilizes the evidence collection module 3 to move to the target parking space, take photos and collect evidence; and controls the movement of each slide 12 to drive the distance between two adjacent horizontal boards 13 of the target parking space to meet the target distance, and the distance between two adjacent horizontal boards 13 of the other dynamic parking spaces to meet the preset distance;
[0070] At the same time, the diffuse reflection units 23 on the two slides 12 corresponding to the target parking position are activated to sense the parking position of the vehicle to be parked in real time; if the diffuse reflection unit 23 feeds back sensing information, the control module determines that the parking position is out of range, and the warning light is turned on to warn the vehicle to be parked until there is no feedback sensing information from the diffuse reflection unit 23;
[0071] (4) The second beam-forming unit 22 and the first beam-forming unit 21 sequentially feed back sensing information, and the control module determines that the vehicle to be parked has left the target parking space; the control module mobilizes the evidence collection module 3 to move to the target parking space, take photos and collect evidence; and controls the movement of each slide 12 to drive the distance between two adjacent horizontal boards 13 of each dynamic parking space to restore the preset distance.
[0072] First, the first beam unit 21 can accurately sense the vehicle entering or leaving. Its transmitting end and receiving end are arranged on two horizontal plates 13 corresponding to the target berth. When the vehicle enters or leaves the dynamic berth, the beam will be blocked or restored, thereby triggering the sensing signal. This design not only improves the accuracy of sensing, but also effectively avoids false alarms and missed alarms, ensuring the accuracy of berth management.
[0073] Secondly, the second beam unit 22 is distributed on the two horizontal plates 13 corresponding to the target berth in a cross-beam manner, which can fully cover the berth area and accurately sense the parking status of the vehicle. Even if the vehicle partially blocks the beam, the cross-beam method can ensure the stable output of the sensing signal, further improving the reliability of berth management.
[0074] In addition, the addition of the diffuse reflection unit 23 provides additional regulatory protection for parking management. Its sensor probe faces the parking area and can sense in real time whether the parking position of the vehicle exceeds the range of the dynamic parking space. Once the parking position of the vehicle is abnormal, the diffuse reflection unit 23 will immediately issue an alarm to remind the management personnel to intervene, thereby avoiding vehicles occupying too many parking spaces and causing waste of on-street parking space resources.
[0075] In this embodiment, a plurality of grooves are provided on the cross plate 13 corresponding to the target berth, and openings are provided on the sides of the grooves; the first pair of shooting units 21 and the second pair of shooting units 22 are both arranged in the grooves and detect and sense outward through the openings; a protective plate is further provided on the top of each pair of shooting units, and the upper edge of the protective plate is not higher than the upper surface of the cross plate 13. By providing grooves on the cross plate 13 and installing the first pair of shooting units 21 and the second pair of shooting units 22 in the grooves, a relatively concealed and protected installation environment is provided for the pair of shooting units. This design not only avoids the direct exposure of the pair of shooting units to the external environment, reduces the risk of damage caused by external factors such as collision and scratching, but also improves the overall aesthetics of the berth system. The protective plate covers the top of the pair of shooting units, which can effectively prevent sundries such as dust and water droplets from entering the interior of the pair of shooting units, causing short circuits or damage. At the same time, the upper edge of the protective plate is not higher than the upper surface of the cross plate 13, ensuring that the vehicle will not collide with the protective plate when parked, thus ensuring the safety and reliability of the berth system.
[0076] As Figures 6-8 shown, through the above solution of the present invention, in a specific application, a dynamically adjustable berthing method is applied to a dynamically adjustable berth system as described above, including the following steps:
[0077] S1: The vehicle to be berthed drives into the parking area, the first pair of shooting units 21 and the second pair of shooting units 22 sequentially feedback sensing information, the control module determines that there is a vehicle to be berthed driving into the target berth, and mobilizes the evidence collection module 3 to move to the target berth to take pictures and collect evidence;
