Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of intelligent parking, and particularly relates to an intelligent parking management system based on the Internet of Things. Background Art

[0002] Intelligent parking is the cornerstone of the construction of a smart city. At present, the new parking lot management system in China is still in the initial stage of application, and many management systems have exposed some problems in actual use.

[0003] Most of the currently applied parking lot management systems are relatively independent management systems, and only a few can achieve networking functions. The entire system lacks necessary scalability. If improvement is needed, all the original equipment and software need to be replaced, resulting in a waste of the original investment. The relatively independent management of each parking lot makes the parking information of each parking lot relatively isolated. Due to the relatively isolated parking information, when a car owner parks, it is very difficult to know which garages can park and which garages are full. Most can only try based on past experience. If they cannot park when they reach a garage, they can only find other garages. However, due to the relatively isolated parking information, it is difficult for car owners to obtain the location information of many garages. For the garages whose locations are known, they can only take a chance to see if there are any vacant parking spaces. Such a situation has led to problems such as more cars and fewer parking spaces and disorderly parking in many garages. At the same time, there are also many garages with a large number of vacant parking spaces for a long time.

[0004] Therefore, how to effectively manage each garage, better meet the parking needs of car owners, and at the same time improve the overall operation of garage merchants has become an urgent problem to be solved at present. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides an intelligent parking management system based on the Internet of Things, which can effectively manage each garage, better meet the parking needs of car owners, and at the same time improve the overall operation of garage merchants.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: An intelligent parking management system based on the Internet of Things, including a platform terminal, a merchant terminal, and a user terminal; The platform terminal is used to store the garage information of each merchant; the garage information includes the garage space structure, the parking space distribution information, and the garage business information; The merchant terminal includes a management sub-terminal and a garage sub-terminal; the management sub-terminal is used to manage the garage information of the corresponding merchant in the platform terminal; the garage sub-terminal is used to obtain real-time garage data and send it to the platform terminal; the garage data includes the vacant parking spaces in the garage; The client is used to reserve a specific parking space in a specific garage on the platform side; the client is also used to obtain the available parking space information of each garage; the available parking space information is obtained by removing the reserved parking spaces from the idle parking spaces in the garage.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: Using this system, (managers / technicians) set the garage information of each merchant on the platform side, such as the garage space structure, parking space distribution information, and garage business information. Each merchant can manage the garage information through the management sub-terminal. The garage sub-terminal will obtain the garage data and send it to the platform side. Through the garage data, the current idle parking spaces in the garage, that is, the parking spaces without vehicles parked, can be understood.

[0008] When there is a parking demand, the car owner can reserve a specific parking space in a specific garage on the platform side in advance through the client. In this way, when arriving at the garage, the car can be directly parked in the reserved parking space, which can prevent the situation of arriving at the garage but having no parking space and then having to look for other garages, thus wasting time.

[0009] If the car owner does not reserve a parking space in advance, the available parking information in the garage can also be obtained from the platform side through the client. The available parking space information is obtained by removing the reserved parking spaces from the idle parking spaces in the garage. In this way, the car owner can know which idle parking spaces are not reserved and try to prevent the situation of parking the vehicle in the parking space reserved by others as much as possible.

[0010] In summary, using this system, each garage can be effectively managed, better meeting the parking needs of car owners and at the same time improving the overall operation of garage merchants.

[0011] Preferably, when the client obtains the available parking space information of a certain garage, the platform side is also used to send the recommended parking space information of the garage to the client.

[0012] Such a setting can allow users to find the reserved parking space they want more quickly.

[0013] Preferably, the process of the platform side generating the recommended parking space information includes: first, determining whether the client has a historical parking record; if so, performing a parking behavior portrait according to the historical parking record, and combining the available parking space information in the garage to find the X available parking spaces that best match the parking habits of the client as the recommended parking spaces; if not, calling the parking historical record of the garage, combining the number of times and the usage duration of each parking space within a preset time length to generate the hot spot value of each parking space, and taking the X parking spaces with the highest hot spot value as the recommended parking spaces; the usage includes being reserved and being actually used.

[0014] With such a setting, when a new user makes a reservation, the platform will generate a popularity value for each parking space based on the number of times and the duration of use of each parking space within a preset time period, and select the top X available parking spaces with the highest popularity values as the recommended parking spaces. Such recommended parking spaces conform to the choices of most people and can help many users quickly find the reserved parking spaces they want. When the user has a parking record of using this system, the platform will also create a parking behavior profile based on the historical parking records. For example, the characteristics of the parking spaces that the user gives top priority to, and when parking in such spaces, the characteristics of the parking spaces that are given secondary priority, and so on. And combined with the available parking space information in the garage, it will find the available parking space that best suits the parking habits of this user. In this way, as the number of times the user uses the system increases, this system can more accurately recommend parking spaces that match their parking habits and help them quickly find the parking spaces they want.

[0015] Preferably, the value of X is greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to 5.

[0016] In this way, while giving users a choice, controlling the number of recommended parking spaces can reduce the time consumed during their selection, thus ensuring the effect of the recommended parking spaces, that is, improving the efficiency of users' choosing parking spaces.

[0017] Preferably, the user terminal is also used to send a reservation navigation signal to the platform after reserving a parking space; the platform is also used to obtain the real-time location of the user terminal after receiving the reservation navigation signal, and use the reserved parking space of this user terminal as the target location to send navigation information to this user terminal.

[0018] With such a setting, through the navigation information of the platform, in some complex sections or some large garages, users can also quickly and accurately find the parking spaces they reserved.

[0019] Preferably, the garage sub-terminal also includes an indoor positioning module; the positioning module information of each garage sub-terminal is also stored in the platform; before the user terminal arrives in the reserved garage, it sends its real-time location to the platform through satellite positioning information; after the user terminal arrives in the reserved garage, it combines with the corresponding indoor positioning module for indoor positioning and sends the real-time location of the user terminal to the platform.

[0020] In this way, the user terminal can perform real-time positioning in different ways inside and outside the garage, which can ensure the effectiveness of the positioning information, and thus ensure the effectiveness of the navigation information.

[0021] Preferably, the garage business information includes the parking charging method and business hours.

[0022] In this way, car owners can understand the business information of each garage, so as to better choose a garage to park.

[0023] Preferably, the garage sub - end further includes an access control camera unit, an access control unit, and a notification unit; the access control camera unit is used to obtain the license plate information of the vehicle when entering and leaving the garage and send it to the background end; The background end is further used to send a vehicle relocation signal to a user end when the vehicle corresponding to a certain user end parks in a parking space reserved by others; if the vehicle still does not move within the preset vehicle relocation time, the background end calls the license plate information of the vehicle when it enters the garage, records that the license plate occupies the parking space once, and judges the cumulative number of times the vehicle type occupies the parking space; if the cumulative number of times is 1, a warning message is sent to the user end; If the cumulative number of times exceeds 1 and is less than or equal to N times, the background end extracts the historical parking data of the vehicle in the past 3 months, adds it to the blacklist P weeks of the garages used in the past 3 months, and sends corresponding penalty information to the user end; if the cumulative number of times exceeds N times, the background end adds it to the blacklist Q weeks of the garages of all merchant ends, and sends corresponding penalty information to the user end; where Q is greater than P; The access control unit is used to open the access control to let the vehicle enter when the license plate number of the vehicle to enter the garage is not in the blacklist; the notification unit is used to send a penalty information notice when the license plate number of the vehicle to enter the garage is in the blacklist.

[0024] Such a setting can effectively manage and restrict the parking behavior of vehicle owners, and ensure the effectiveness of the reservation behavior as much as possible.

[0025] Preferably, the notification unit includes a voice prompt unit and a display unit. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings, where: Figure 1 is the logic block diagram of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0027] The following will be further described in detail through specific embodiments: Embodiment 1 As Figure 1 shown, in this embodiment, an Internet - of - Things - based intelligent parking management system is disclosed, including a platform end, a merchant end, and a user end.

[0028] The platform side is used to store the garage information of each merchant; the garage information includes the garage space structure, the parking space distribution information, and the garage business information; the garage business information includes the parking charging method and the business hours. In this way, it is convenient to manage each garage in a unified and standardized manner. During specific implementation, the setting of the garage information can be realized through modeling software. For the selection of specific modeling software, those skilled in the art can choose according to their own habits and preferences, which will not be elaborated here.

[0029] The merchant side includes a management sub - end and a garage sub - end. During specific implementation, the merchant side can be a smart phone, a tablet or other intelligent terminals loaded with the corresponding APP. The management sub - end is used to manage the garage information of the corresponding merchant in the platform side.

[0030] The garage sub - end includes a collection module. The collection module is used to obtain real - time garage data and send it to the platform side; the garage data includes the available parking spaces in the garage. The specific method for obtaining the available parking spaces can be achieved by installing photosensitive sensors, infrared sensors and other sensing devices on each parking space, or by processing the image data of the camera, which will not be elaborated here.

[0031] During specific implementation, the user side is a smart phone loaded with the corresponding APP. The user side is used to reserve a specific parking space in a specific garage on the platform side; the user side is also used to obtain the available parking space information of each garage; the available parking space information is obtained by subtracting the reserved parking spaces from the available parking spaces in the garage.

[0032] The user side is also used to send a reservation navigation signal to the platform side after reserving a parking space; the platform side is also used to obtain the real - time location of the user side after receiving the reservation navigation signal, and take the parking space reserved by the user side as the target location and send navigation information to the user side. During specific implementation, the garage sub - end also includes an indoor positioning module; the positioning module information of each garage sub - end is also stored in the platform side. Before the user side arrives at the reserved garage, it sends the real - time location to the platform side through satellite positioning information; when the user side arrives inside the reserved garage, it combines with the corresponding indoor positioning module for indoor positioning and sends the real - time location of the user side to the platform side. For the specific technology of indoor positioning, those skilled in the art can choose their own habits or expertise, such as Bluetooth positioning, WIFI positioning, etc., which can all achieve the purpose and will not be elaborated here.

[0033] Using this system, managers / technicians set the garage information of each merchant on the platform side, such as the garage space structure, parking space distribution information, and garage business information. Each merchant can manage the garage information through the management sub-terminal. The garage sub-terminal will obtain the garage data and send it to the platform side. Through the garage data, the current available parking spaces in the garage, that is, the parking spaces without cars parked, can be understood. When there is a parking demand, the car owner can make an appointment for a specific parking space in a specific garage on the platform side in advance through the user terminal. In this way, when arriving at the garage, just park in the reserved parking space, which can prevent the situation of arriving at the garage but having no parking space and then having to look for another garage, thus wasting time. If the car owner does not make a reservation in advance, the car owner can also obtain the available parking information in the garage from the platform side through the user terminal. The available parking space information is obtained by removing the reserved parking spaces from the available parking spaces in the garage. In this way, the car owner can know which available parking spaces are not reserved and prevent, as much as possible, the situation of parking the vehicle in a parking space reserved by others. In addition, through the navigation information on the platform side, in some complex sections or some large garages, users can also quickly and accurately find their reserved parking spaces. And the user terminal can perform real-time positioning in different ways inside and outside the garage, which can ensure the effectiveness of the positioning information and thus ensure the effectiveness of the navigation information.

[0034] Embodiment 2 Different from Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the platform side is also used to send the recommended parking space information of the garage to the user terminal when the user terminal obtains the available parking space information of a certain garage.

[0035] Specifically, the process of the platform side generating the recommended parking space information includes: First, judge whether the user terminal has a historical parking record; if so, conduct a parking behavior portrait according to the historical parking record, and combine the available parking space information in the garage to find X available parking spaces that best match the parking habits of the user terminal as the recommended parking spaces; if not, call the parking historical record of the garage, combine the number of times and duration of use of each parking space within a preset time period to generate the hot spot value of each parking space, and use the X parking spaces with the highest hot spot value as the recommended parking spaces; the use includes being reserved and being actually used. Among them, the value of X is greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to 5.

[0036] With such a setting, when a new user makes a reservation, the platform will generate a popularity value for each parking space based on the number of times and the duration of use of each parking space within a preset time period, and select the top X available parking spaces with the highest popularity values as recommended parking spaces. Such recommended parking spaces conform to the choices of most people and can help many users quickly find the reserved parking spaces they want. When the user has a parking record of using this system, the platform will also create a parking behavior profile based on the historical parking records. For example, the characteristics of the parking spaces that the user gives top priority to, and when parking in such spaces, the characteristics of the parking spaces that are given secondary priority, and so on. In specific implementation, the specific implementation process of the parking behavior profile can be achieved through intelligent models such as deep learning models or neural network models, which will not be elaborated here. Then, the available parking space information in the garage can be combined to find the available parking space that best matches the parking habits of this user. In this way, as the number of times the user uses the system increases, this system can more accurately recommend parking spaces that match their parking habits and help them quickly find the parking spaces they want. Moreover, the value of X is greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to 5. In this way, while giving the user a choice, controlling the number of recommended parking spaces can reduce the time consumed during their selection, thus ensuring the effect of the recommended parking spaces, that is, improving the efficiency of the user's selection of parking spaces.

[0037] Embodiment 3 Different from Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the garage sub-terminal further includes an access control camera unit, an access control unit, and a notification unit; the access control camera unit is used to obtain the license plate information of the vehicle when entering and leaving the garage and send it to the background terminal.

[0038] The background terminal is also used to send a vehicle relocation signal to the user terminal when the vehicle corresponding to a certain user terminal parks in a parking space reserved by others. In specific implementation, it can be determined whether it parks in a parking space reserved by others by collecting image data of the camera; it can also be determined whether it parks in a parking space reserved by others through the positioning of the user terminal combined with devices such as infrared sensing devices on the parking space.

[0039] If the vehicle still does not move within the preset vehicle relocation time, the background terminal will call the license plate information of the vehicle when it enters the garage and record that the license plate occupies the parking space once, and judge the cumulative number of times of parking occupation of this vehicle type; if the cumulative number of times is 1 time, a warning message will be sent to the user terminal, and the content of the warning message includes the penalty after the cumulative number of times exceeds 1 time; if the cumulative number of times exceeds 1 time and is less than or equal to N times, the background terminal will extract the historical parking data of the vehicle in the past 3 months and add it to the blacklist of the garage used in the past 3 months for P weeks, and send the corresponding penalty information to the user terminal; if the cumulative number of times exceeds N times, the background terminal will add it to the blacklist of all merchant terminals' garages for Q weeks and send the corresponding penalty information to the user terminal. Among them, Q is greater than P. In specific implementation, the specific values of P, Q, and N can be specifically set by those skilled in the art according to specific circumstances, which will not be elaborated here.

[0040] The access control unit is used to open the access control to allow the vehicle to enter when the license plate number of the vehicle to enter the garage is not in the blacklist; the notification unit is used to send a punishment message when the license plate number of the vehicle to enter the garage is in the blacklist. The notification unit includes a voice prompt unit and a display unit. Specifically, in implementation, the voice prompt unit is a loudspeaker, and the display unit is an LED display screen.

[0041] Principle and effect: During the actual parking process, there will be situations where the parking order is not observed and the vehicle is parked in the parking space reserved by others, resulting in the invalidation of the reservation of others. To prevent this situation as much as possible, in the present invention, after the vehicle enters the garage and stops, it will be judged whether it is parked in the parking space reserved by others. If so, the background end will send a vehicle moving signal to the user end to let the vehicle owner move the vehicle away. If the vehicle owner is careless, after seeing the vehicle moving signal, the vehicle can be moved to other parking spaces without reservation.

[0042] If the vehicle still has not moved within the preset vehicle moving time, the background end will call the license plate information when the vehicle enters the garage and record that the license plate occupies the parking once, and judge the cumulative number of times of parking occupation of this vehicle type; if the cumulative number of times is 1 time, it means that the vehicle owner has no situation of occupying the parking, and it is possible that he just did not see the moving information. Therefore, the background end will send a warning message to the user end, and the content of the warning message includes the punishment after the cumulative number of times exceeds 1 time. In this way, the vehicle owner can understand the situation.

[0043] If the cumulative number of times exceeds 1 time, it means that the vehicle owner has the situation of occupying the parking, and it is very likely that he knowingly violates the regulations and does not obey the management, and punishment measures need to be given to him. Therefore, if the cumulative number of times exceeds 1 time and is less than or equal to N times, the background end extracts the historical parking data of the vehicle in the past 3 months and adds it to the blacklist P weeks of the garage used in the past 3 months, and sends the corresponding punishment information to the user end. On the other hand, the access control unit of the garage will only open the access control when the license plate number of the vehicle to enter is not in the blacklist. In this way, when the vehicle owner wants to park in the recent P weeks, he cannot park in the garage he used in the recent 3 months, that is, the garage where it is convenient for him to park, but can only park the vehicle in a relatively inconvenient garage.

[0044] If the counted number of times exceeds N times, it means that the vehicle owner continues to make mistakes after receiving the punishment. Therefore, the background end adds it to the blacklist Q weeks of the garages of all merchant ends and sends the corresponding punishment information to the user end. Make it unable to use the garages of all merchant ends within Q weeks. Let it learn a lesson and prevent it from continuing to have a negative impact on other vehicle owners.

[0045] Using this system, the parking behavior of vehicle owners can be effectively managed and restricted, and the effectiveness of the reservation behavior can be guaranteed as much as possible.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than limiting them. Those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that any modifications or equivalent replacements made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the purpose and scope of the present technical solutions shall be covered by the scope of the claims of the present invention.
