Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of intelligent traffic management, and in particular relates to a parking space management system for tourist areas. Background Art

[0002] With the booming global tourism industry, more and more people choose to travel during holidays to relax. This trend has led to a sharp increase in the number of tourists in tourist areas, especially popular attractions, within a specific period of time, making parking space management a huge challenge. Tourist areas usually have limited parking space, which limits their ability to receive tourists. In this case, effective parking space management is extremely important for improving tourist satisfaction, reducing traffic congestion and environmental pollution. Traditional parking space management systems mostly rely on manual supervision, which is often inefficient and unable to update the usage of parking spaces in real time, making it difficult for car owners to quickly find vacant parking spaces, and even causing congestion and chaos in parking lots. In addition, manual charging methods often cause vehicles to queue up for payment, further reducing the utilization rate of parking spaces and tourist experience. Therefore, we propose a parking space management system for tourist areas. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a parking space management system for tourist areas. By real-time monitoring of parking space status and dynamic allocation of parking space resources, the system can effectively reduce the time vehicles spend searching for empty parking spaces, thereby improving the operational efficiency of the entire parking lot. The animation or video guidance provided by the parking animation generation module can help drivers better understand how to drive into a reserved parking space, further improving parking efficiency, and solving the problem that traditional parking space management systems rely mostly on manual supervision, which is often inefficient and unable to update the usage of parking spaces in real time, making it difficult for car owners to quickly find empty parking spaces, and even causing congestion and chaos in parking lots; in addition, manual charging methods often cause vehicles to queue up waiting for payment, further reducing the utilization rate of parking spaces and the problem of tourist experience.
