Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of intelligent parking, and particularly relates to an intelligent platform for reserving parking spaces in advance. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous acceleration of the urbanization process, the number of motor vehicles has increased rapidly, and the problem of parking difficulty has become increasingly prominent. The traditional parking lot management method has low utilization rate of parking spaces, opaque information, relies on manual inspections, has low efficiency, and cannot timely and accurately master the status information of parking spaces. This method is often inefficient and cannot update the usage of parking spaces in real time, bringing great inconvenience to vehicle owners. The current demand for parking spaces is increasing day by day, and the current parking space management method can no longer meet the needs of modern cities. There is a lack of a unified management platform, making it difficult to effectively manage parking resources and conduct data analysis and optimization. Therefore, we propose an intelligent platform for reserving parking spaces in advance. Summary of the Invention

By reserving parking spaces in advance, users can avoid blindly searching for available parking spaces in the parking lot. After the system filters out available parking spaces according to the user's reservation time, the user can select a parking space by themselves, avoiding errors and chaos that may occur in manual allocation. This can greatly reduce the waiting time of users in the parking lot and improve the parking efficiency, solving the problems of the traditional parking lot management method, such as low utilization rate of parking spaces, opaque information, relying on manual inspections, low efficiency, and inability to timely and accurately master the status information of parking spaces.
