Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to intelligent transportation and parking management technology, specifically to an intelligent parking system and method powered by a speed bump. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous growth of the number of motor vehicles in cities, the problems of parking difficulties, low parking efficiency, and insufficient intelligent parking management are becoming increasingly prominent. Traditional parking lots mainly rely on manual management or basic electronic systems, such as manual payment, manual guidance, and simple parking space counters, which suffer from high labor costs and low parking space utilization. Although existing intelligent parking systems use technologies such as license plate recognition, geomagnetic induction, or camera monitoring to automate vehicle entry and exit records and monitor some parking space status, they still have limitations in terms of vehicle recognition accuracy and intelligent parking guidance. They struggle to accurately identify vehicle type and size, and cannot combine parking space distribution and real-time information to allocate parking spaces optimally. Parking guidance is mostly static, failing to provide direct directions to the nearest available space. This leads to problems such as chaotic vehicle flow and excessively long search times for empty parking spaces. The chaotic vehicle flow also results in gasoline vehicles occupying charging parking spaces, and overall parking efficiency still needs improvement.

[0003] Meanwhile, high energy consumption and insufficient green energy-saving capabilities of parking lot equipment are also pressing issues that need to be addressed. Traditional parking lot lighting, indicator lights, and sensor equipment operate for extended periods, resulting in high energy consumption and a lack of effective recovery mechanisms. While some existing systems utilize photovoltaic power generation or energy storage devices, their widespread application is limited by environmental conditions or construction costs. The energy and information generated during vehicle movement are often not effectively utilized, leaving significant room for improvement in energy conservation and intelligent management of parking lots and garages. Therefore, parking lot and garage management urgently needs an intelligent solution that can improve parking space utilization efficiency, optimize parking guidance, and simultaneously achieve green energy conservation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent parking system and method powered by a speed bump, in order to solve the problems of low parking space utilization, low parking efficiency and high energy consumption in existing parking lots and garages. It achieves green energy supply for the parking system by recovering energy during vehicle movement, and at the same time improves parking management efficiency and parking space use convenience by combining intelligent identification and dynamic parking space guidance.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides an intelligent parking system powered by a speed bump, comprising: The speed bump generator module generates electrical energy when a vehicle passes over it and collects the vehicle's pressure signal. The vehicle identification module is used to identify the vehicle's identity and energy type, and infer the vehicle's wheelbase and size by combining pressure signals; The central control module is used to allocate target parking spaces to vehicles based on vehicle information and parking space status information; vehicle information includes vehicle identity, energy type, wheelbase, and size; The parking guidance module is used to guide vehicles to the target parking space according to the control signals of the central control module; The energy management module is used to store the electrical energy generated by the power generation speed bump module and distribute the electrical energy to various electrical devices in the system.

[0006] According to the above scheme, the power generation speed bump module includes several independent power generation strip units, which are arranged with fixed gaps along the vehicle's driving direction. When the front and rear wheels of the vehicle successively run over the same power generation strip unit, an electrical signal with a time difference is generated. The central control module calculates the vehicle's wheelbase and size based on the electrical signal.

[0007] According to the above scheme, the power generation unit includes a piezoelectric material structure and / or a mechanical transmission structure; the piezoelectric material structure generates electrical energy under the pressure of a vehicle, and the mechanical transmission structure generates electrical energy by driving a micro generator to rotate through the deformation of a speed bump.

[0008] According to the above plan, the power generation speed bump module is installed at the parking lot entrance, turning path and parking space limit point.

[0009] According to the above plan, vehicle status includes permanent vehicles and temporary vehicles; energy type includes fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles.

[0010] According to the above scheme, the central control module divides the parking area of ​​the parking lot into temporary parking area and permanent parking area according to vehicle identity, into fuel vehicle area and new energy vehicle area according to energy type, and into car area and large vehicle area according to vehicle size.

[0011] According to the above scheme, the parking guidance module includes several light strips distributed along the driving path; after the central control module allocates the target parking space, it controls the light strips to light up segment by segment according to the real-time pressure signal source location.

[0012] According to the above scheme, the energy management module includes an energy storage unit; the energy management module prioritizes distributing the electrical energy generated by the power generation speed bump module to the electrical appliances in the system, and stores the remainder in the energy storage unit.

[0013] The present invention also provides a parking lot, including the intelligent parking system powered by the speed bump described above.

[0014] This invention also provides an intelligent parking method powered by a speed bump, comprising: S1. When a vehicle enters the parking lot entrance, the front and rear wheels sequentially pass over the power generation speed bump module, generating electrical energy and collecting the vehicle's pressure signal. S2. Identify the vehicle's identity and energy type using the vehicle identification module; S3. The central control module allocates target parking spaces to vehicles based on vehicle information and parking space status information; vehicle information includes vehicle identity, energy type, wheelbase, and size; S4. The parking guidance module guides the vehicle to the target parking space according to the control signal of the central control module. S5 will distribute and store the electrical energy generated during vehicle operation and parking.

[0015] Beneficial effects This invention, through the installation of a power generation speed bump module, simultaneously generates electricity and collects pressure signals as vehicles pass over it. This provides a clean energy source for system operation and lays the foundation for acquiring key vehicle information. Combined with a vehicle identification module that recognizes vehicle identity and energy type, it can accurately infer the vehicle's wheelbase and size, solving the problem of incomplete and inaccurate collection of core vehicle information in traditional parking systems. This provides reliable data support for subsequent parking space allocation. The central control module, relying on the aforementioned complete and accurate vehicle information and combined with the real-time parking space status, allocates target parking spaces, breaking the limitations of traditional manual or simple electronic allocation. This achieves precise matching between vehicles and parking spaces, effectively avoiding resource waste such as large vehicles occupying small spaces or fuel vehicles occupying new energy vehicle spaces, significantly improving parking space utilization and greatly reducing the time drivers spend searching for empty parking spaces, thus improving parking efficiency. The parking guidance module guides vehicles to target parking spaces based on control signals from the central control module, replacing traditional static guidance methods. This makes vehicle travel paths clearer, optimizes vehicle flow within the parking lot, reduces congestion and chaos, and further enhances parking convenience. The energy management module stores and rationally allocates the electrical energy generated by the power generation speed bump module, ensuring that electricity is prioritized for supplying all electrical equipment in the system. This achieves energy recovery and reuse, reduces the system's dependence on external energy sources, lowers the overall energy consumption of the parking lot, and solves the problems of high energy consumption and lack of effective energy recovery mechanisms in traditional parking lot equipment. In summary, the synergistic effect of each module not only realizes intelligent parking management but also achieves green energy supply for the system, comprehensively addressing the core pain points of low parking space utilization, low parking efficiency, and high energy consumption in existing parking lots.

The speed bump module 1 is installed at the parking lot entrance, turning path, and parking space limit points. It generates electricity and collects vehicle pressure signals when a vehicle passes over it. The speed bump module 1 can be constructed using piezoelectric materials to directly generate electricity under vehicle pressure, or it can employ a mechanical transmission structure, using the deformation of the speed bump to drive a micro-generator to generate electricity. The speed bump module 1 consists of several independent power generation strip units 6 arranged at fixed intervals along the vehicle's direction of travel. When the front and rear wheels of a vehicle sequentially run over the power generation strip units 6, a time difference signal is generated, which is used by the central control module 3 to calculate the vehicle's wheelbase and size.

[0020] The vehicle recognition module includes a license plate recognition unit 7 and a pressure detection unit.

After receiving vehicle information, the central control module 3 can intelligently allocate parking spaces based on vehicle size and energy type.

[0023] The power generation speed bump module 1 also employs a piezoelectric material structure or a mechanical transmission structure, with several power generation strip units 6 arranged along the vehicle's travel direction. These units generate electricity and a time difference signal through vehicle pressure, assisting the central control module 3 in determining vehicle size and type. The vehicle recognition module uses the license plate recognition unit 7 to distinguish between new energy vehicles and conventional vehicles, and combines this with data from the pressure detection unit to help determine axle load, achieving more accurate parking space allocation. The parking space guidance module 4 illuminates light strips segment by segment according to the allocation results from the central control module 3, providing dynamic path guidance for vehicles. The energy management module 5 prioritizes powering the parking space guidance light strips and sensors, storing the remaining energy for backup, achieving green and energy-saving management of large parking lots.

Its system composition still includes a power generation speed bump module 1, a vehicle identification module, a central control module 3, a parking guidance module 4, and an energy management module 5. To reduce costs, the power generation speed bump module 1 in this embodiment preferably adopts a mechanical transmission structure, using the deformation of the speed bump to drive a micro-generator to generate electricity. Power generation strip units 6 are deployed along key entrances and turns to achieve energy recovery.

[0026] The vehicle recognition module still includes a license plate recognition unit 7 and a pressure detection unit, which realizes basic intelligent guidance by recognizing vehicle type and axle load data. The central control module 3 allocates parking spaces based on real-time parking space status and vehicle information, and controls the parking guidance module 4 to illuminate the light strips segment by segment to form a dynamic navigation path. The energy management module 5 stores and allocates the electrical energy generated by the power generation speed bump module 1, prioritizing power to the light strips and sensors, and storing the remaining energy in the energy unit for backup to meet the energy-saving needs of small parking lots.
