Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention mainly relates to the technical field of parking in parking lots, and particularly relates to a new type of parking space guiding method. Background Art

[0002] As people own more and more private cars, public parking lots such as shopping malls and hospitals are also built larger and larger to solve the problem of people's difficult parking. Along with the increase in the number of parking spaces in the parking lot, the management difficulty of the parking lot also increases accordingly;

[0003] Existing large-scale ground parking lots mainly provide parking by license plate recognition. However, after the driver enters the parking lot, they often need to find the remaining empty parking spaces in the parking lot by themselves. Especially when there are only a small number of parking spaces left, the driver often needs to spend more time finding a parking space and it is difficult to find the location where they parked their vehicle, resulting in users needing to spend more time looking for their vehicle. Therefore, the present invention provides a new type of parking space guiding method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention mainly provides a new type of parking space guiding method to solve the technical problems raised in the above background art.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is: a new type of parking space guiding method, including a parking lot parking space management system, a vehicle recognition system, and a monitoring system. The parking space guiding method includes the following steps:

[0006] S1. An induction screen is set at the entrance of the parking lot. The induction screen is connected to the parking lot parking space management system, and the parking lot parking space management system is connected to the monitoring system, the vehicle recognition system, and the user terminal;

[0007] S2. The driver inputs reservation vehicle information and basic information through the user terminal to the parking lot parking space management system for parking space reservation, excludes unavailable parking spaces, and allocates parking spaces according to the parking space allocation method;

[0008] S3. After the driver performs the operation of S2, the vehicle is driven to the parking lot. The vehicle recognizes real-time vehicle information through the vehicle recognition system and compares it with the reservation vehicle information. After successful comparison, the vehicle enters the parking lot;

[0009] S4. After the vehicle enters the parking lot, the vehicle recognition system sends information to the parking lot parking space management system. Through the parking lot parking space management system, a parking space route is generated and the parking space information and the parking space route are sent to the induction screen and the user terminal;

[0010] S5. If the driver fails to perform the operation in S2 and drives the vehicle to the parking lot, the vehicle identifies the real-time vehicle information through the vehicle identification system, excludes unavailable parking spaces, allocates available parking spaces according to the parking space allocation method, and then performs the operation in S4;

[0011] S6. After the vehicle leaves the parking lot, lock the parking space and keep it for a preset time.

[0012] Furthermore, the parking lot parking space management system is used to receive the vehicle distribution data sent by the monitoring system and the real-time vehicle information sent by the vehicle identification system. The parking lot parking space management system allocates parking spaces according to the real-time vehicle information, plans the parking space routes according to the vehicle distribution data, and the parking lot parking space management system sends the parking space information and the parking space routes to the guiding screen and the user terminal.

[0013] Furthermore, the reserved vehicle information and the real-time vehicle information include the vehicle license plate information and the vehicle model information, and corresponding-sized parking spaces are allocated according to the vehicle model information.

[0014] Furthermore, the parking space routes planned by the parking lot parking space management system are carried out according to the least number of vehicles on the road and the shortest path.

[0015] Furthermore, the parking space allocation method is set by the administrator. The parking space allocation method includes the same-floor allocation method and the different-floor allocation method. The same-floor allocation method includes allocation from far to near and allocation from near to far. The different-floor allocation method includes allocation from the upper floor to the lower floor and allocation from the lower floor to the upper floor.

[0016] Furthermore, the unavailable parking spaces include sold parking spaces, monthly and annual rental parking spaces, repaired parking spaces, and reserved parking spaces.

[0017] Furthermore, the basic information includes the reserved parking time period. If the reservation is not cancelled one hour before the reserved parking time period, corresponding fees will be charged. If the vehicle parking time exceeds the reserved parking time period, overtime fees will be additionally charged.

[0018] Furthermore, after receiving the parking space route planned by the parking lot parking space management system, the user terminal conducts navigation through the user terminal and can mark the position of the parking space on the user terminal.

[0019] Furthermore, the monitoring system consists of multiple monitoring cameras. The monitoring cameras are set at multiple top corners of the parking lot, and the monitoring cameras are connected to the parking lot parking space management system.

[0020] Further, in S6, the preset time is 15 minutes. If the vehicle returns within the preset time, the vehicle returns to the original parking space. If the vehicle does not return within the preset time, the parking space can be used again.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0022] The present invention can reserve a parking space for the parking lot management system through the user terminal. The vehicle identification system can identify the vehicle license plate information and vehicle model information, and allocate a vacant parking space with a suitable size according to the vehicle model information. The monitoring system monitors the vehicle distribution in the parking lot, and cooperates with the parking lot management system to plan the optimal parking space route. The parking space information and the parking space route are displayed through the induction screen and the user terminal. At the same time, the user terminal can navigate according to the parking space route, enabling the driver to quickly find the parking space and avoiding the need to spend a lot of time looking for the parking space by themselves. After the vehicle reaches the parking space location, the user terminal marks this location, facilitating the driver to find the parked vehicle and avoiding the difficulty of finding their own vehicle due to the large size of the parking lot.

If the reservation is not cancelled one hour before the reserved parking time period, corresponding fees will be charged. If the vehicle's parking time exceeds the reserved parking time period, additional overtime fees will be charged.

[0045] It should be noted that in the embodiment, if the reservation is cancelled within one hour before the reserved parking time period, a certain fee will be charged to prevent a large number of users from maliciously occupying parking spaces.

[0046] For the embodiment, please refer to the appendix Figure 1, after the user terminal receives the parking space route planned by the parking lot space management system, it navigates through the user terminal and can mark the position of the parking space on the user terminal.

[0047] It should be noted that in the embodiment, navigation through the user terminal is more conducive to the driver finding the parking space, and marking the position of the parking space can facilitate the driver to find the parking position through navigation.

[0048] Embodiment, please refer to the appendix Figure 1 , the monitoring system is composed of multiple monitoring cameras, which are set at multiple top corners of the parking lot, and the monitoring cameras are connected to the parking lot space management system.

[0049] It should be noted that in the embodiment, the monitoring camera can collect the images of the parking lot and send the images to the parking lot space management system for identification to judge the distribution of vehicles on the parking lot roads.

[0050] Embodiment, please refer to the appendix Figure 1 , in S6, the preset time is 15 minutes. If the vehicle returns within the preset time, the vehicle returns to the original parking space. If the vehicle does not return within the preset time, the parking space can be used again.

[0051] It should be noted that in the embodiment, if the vehicle returns within the preset time, the vehicle returns to the original parking space, avoiding the need for reallocation when the vehicle returns, resulting in a waste of time.

[0052] The specific operation method of the present invention is as follows:

[0053] When the driver makes a reservation for a parking space from the parking lot space management system through the user terminal, the parking lot space management system excludes unavailable parking spaces and allocates available parking spaces. When the driver drives the vehicle to the parking lot, the vehicle identifies the real-time vehicle information through the vehicle identification system and compares it with the reserved vehicle information. After successful comparison, the vehicle can enter the parking lot. At the same time, the monitoring system monitors the vehicle distribution in the parking lot, and cooperates with the parking lot space management system to plan the optimal parking space route. Then, the induction screen and the user terminal can display the parking space information and the parking space route. At the same time, the user terminal navigates according to the parking space route. After arriving at the parking space position, the user terminal marks this position to facilitate the driver to find the vehicle.

[0054] When the driver drives the vehicle to the parking lot without making a reservation, the vehicle identification system identifies the license plate information and vehicle model information of the vehicle, binds the license plate to the parking space, and allocates a vacant parking space that matches the size according to the vehicle model information. Then, the monitoring system monitors the vehicle distribution in the parking lot, and cooperates with the parking space management system of the parking lot to plan the optimal parking space route. Then, the induction screen and the user terminal can display the parking space information and the parking space route. At the same time, the user terminal navigates according to the parking space route. After arriving at the parking space location, the user terminal marks this location to facilitate the driver to find the vehicle.

[0055] After the vehicle leaves the parking lot, the parking space is locked for 15 minutes. If the vehicle returns within 15 minutes, the vehicle returns to the original parking space. If the vehicle does not return within 15 minutes, the parking space can be used again.

[0056] The above has made an exemplary description of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited by the above methods. As long as such non-substantial improvements are made by adopting the method concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the concept and technical solution of the present invention are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
