Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of parking management technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, computer equipment and storage medium for managing the exit of a nested parking lot. Background Technology

[0002] As the number of motor vehicles in cities increases, parking lot layouts are evolving from simple single-entry, single-exit designs to complex nested patterns. "Semi-nested" parking lots are widely used in shopping malls, complexes, and other similar settings. A typical layout involves vehicles entering the underground parking lot from city roads, passing through internal ground roads, and then exiting from the ground exit.

[0003] Currently available parking lot exit management technologies and devices are all based on the core logic of a "one-in-one-out" closed-loop model, which means that vehicles enter from a single entrance and exit from a single exit. The system matches complete passage records to complete billing. This model is only suitable for simple parking lots and can meet basic management needs.

[0004] However, when this existing technology is applied to semi-nested parking lots, its inherent drawbacks become quite prominent, as follows: First, it is highly rigid, with the core logic fixed as "a single entrance corresponds to a single exit," which cannot adapt to the complex layout of semi-nested parking lots. The system cannot identify the correlation between underground parking lot exit records and ground exit records, nor can it match the standard entrance record corresponding to the final exit record.

[0005] Secondly, there is a lack of automation capabilities. When faced with abnormal passage records, manual verification and supplementation of missing information are required to complete the billing process. This not only results in high labor costs but also low efficiency and a high error rate, making it impossible to achieve automated management.

[0006] Third, the data models are incompatible. The existing billing module can only process standard "one-in-one-out" records. It cannot recognize complex passage records in semi-nested parking lots, which can easily lead to billing failures and errors, affecting management efficiency and user experience, and limiting the promotion and application of related technologies.

[0007] In summary, existing technologies based on the "one-in-one-out" closed-loop model cannot meet the needs of semi-nested parking lots. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a nested parking lot exit management method, device, computer equipment, and storage medium to address the above-mentioned technical problems and solve at least one of the problems existing in the prior art.

[0009] Firstly, a nested parking lot exit management method is provided, including: When a vehicle exits from the target exit channel, determine whether the vehicle meets the preset virtual entry record generation conditions; If the preset virtual entry record generation conditions are met, then a virtual entry record is generated according to the preset channel association rules, wherein the preset channel association rules are used to define the correspondence between the exit channel and the virtual entry record; Based on the virtual entry record and the actual exit record of the vehicle, exit fee is calculated according to the pre-design fee rules.

[0010] In one embodiment of this application, the virtual entry record generation conditions include: The vehicle's valid entry record is missing; or The vehicle's valid entry record is abnormal and cannot form a standard passage closed loop. The standard passage closed loop is a standard parking lot passage closed loop where one valid entry corresponds to one valid exit. The abnormal valid entry record includes at least one of the following: expired entry record, duplicate entry record, and mismatch between entry and exit records.

[0011] In one embodiment of this application, the step of performing exit billing according to the pre-designed fee rules based on the virtual entry record and the vehicle's actual exit record includes: The virtual entry record is combined with the actual exit record to form a standard access record pair; The standard passage records are billed according to the pre-design fee rules.

[0012] In one embodiment of this application, generating virtual entry records according to preset channel association rules includes: Based on the preset channel association rules, determine the virtual entry information corresponding to the target exit channel; The virtual entry record is generated based on the virtual entry information; The virtual entry record includes a virtual entry time, which is determined based on the vehicle's actual exit time or a preset passage duration.

[0015] In one embodiment of this application, after generating the virtual entry record according to the preset channel association rules, the method further includes: Detect whether the virtual entry record is generated abnormally; If an anomaly is detected, the pre-configured backup channel association rules are invoked to generate a temporary virtual entry record for the vehicle. Based on the temporary virtual entry record and the actual exit record, a temporary billing operation is performed to complete the vehicle exit release; The temporary virtual entry record is reviewed to determine whether it conforms to the actual passage situation; If the temporary virtual entry record matches the actual passage situation, then the temporary billing is confirmed to be valid; If the temporary virtual entry record does not match the actual passage conditions, the temporary virtual entry record will be adjusted and the billing operation will be re-executed.

[0016] Secondly, a nested parking lot exit management device is provided, comprising: A condition determination unit is used to determine whether a vehicle meets the preset virtual entry record generation conditions when it exits from the target exit channel. A virtual entry record generation unit is used to generate a virtual entry record according to a preset channel association rule if the preset virtual entry record generation conditions are met. The preset channel association rule is used to define the correspondence between the exit channel and the virtual entry record. The exit billing unit is used to perform exit billing based on the virtual entry record and the actual exit record of the vehicle, in accordance with the pre-designed fee rules.

[0017] Thirdly, a computer device is provided, including a memory, a processor, and computer-readable instructions stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor, when executing the computer-readable instructions, implements the steps of the nested parking lot exit management method as described above.

[0018] Fourthly, a readable storage medium is provided, the readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions, which, when executed by a processor, implement the steps of the nested parking lot exit management method described above.

In this embodiment, when a vehicle exits from a target exit channel, it is first determined whether the virtual entry record generation conditions are met, then a virtual entry record is generated according to preset channel association rules, and finally, billing is completed by combining the virtual entry record and the actual exit record, effectively solving the problems of rigid rules, low automation, and incompatible billing models in the prior art. This method does not require changes to the physical layout of the parking lot and can be flexibly adapted to various nested parking lot scenarios. It automates exit management and billing, significantly reduces manual intervention costs and billing errors, while converting non-standard passage records into standard records. This ensures compatibility with existing billing modules, guarantees stable and reliable billing, and improves parking lot management efficiency and user experience. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a nested parking lot exit management method is provided, which includes the following steps: In step S110, when a vehicle exits from the target exit channel, it is determined whether the vehicle meets the preset virtual entry record generation conditions. Nested parking lots refer to parking areas consisting of at least two interconnected areas with relatively independent entrances and exits. These areas can include two or more types of parking systems: underground, surface, or multi-level. Vehicles can directly enter one area from an external public road without passing through the entrance of the other area. After exiting one area, they can enter the other area via internal roads, forming a continuous traffic path. The entire parking lot has an external exit only in the final exit area. Vehicles must pass through multiple internal areas sequentially before exiting from the final exit. Specifically, nested parking lots can include non-standard closed-loop parking lot scenarios such as semi-nested or multi-area nested parking lots, and can be applied to underground-surface nested parking lots in commercial complexes and large parks. To more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this application, the following detailed description is based on a semi-nested parking lot in a commercial complex as a specific application scenario: The semi-nested parking lot includes two interconnected access areas: an underground parking garage and a ground-level park. Vehicles can drive directly into the underground parking garage from urban public roads (the parking lot has no separate ground-level entrance). After exiting the underground parking garage, vehicles need to enter the internal roads of the ground-level park and finally complete the exit operation of the entire parking lot through the target exit channel set up in the ground-level park.

[0024] Optionally, when a vehicle arrives at the target exit lane (any exit lane) of the nested parking lot and prepares to leave, the license plate recognition device installed at the target exit lane captures an image of the vehicle and recognizes its license plate to obtain the vehicle's unique identification information. Based on the identified vehicle identification information, the system retrieves all historical passage data of the vehicle within the parking lot's area from the parking lot management platform's database, including entry records, inter-area passage records, and exit records. Based on the retrieved passage data, the system analyzes and judges the vehicle's valid entry record status to determine whether the vehicle meets the pre-set conditions for generating a virtual entry record, thus providing a basis for determining whether to generate a virtual entry record and execute the corresponding exit billing process.

[0025] It should be noted that the conditions for generating virtual entry records include: the vehicle's valid entry record is missing; or the vehicle's valid entry record is abnormal and cannot form a standard passage loop. The standard passage loop is a standard parking lot passage loop where one valid entry corresponds to one valid exit. Abnormal valid entry records include at least one of the following: expired entry record, duplicate entry record, or mismatch between entry and exit records. Specifically, when a vehicle only has an inter-area exit record without a corresponding valid external entry record during its passage through a nested parking lot, or when the entry records stored in the system have exceeded their valid identification period, or when multiple conflicting entry records exist for the same vehicle, or when the current exit record cannot be properly matched and associated with any historical entry records in the database, the conditions for generating virtual entry records are deemed met. The system will then proceed with the subsequent virtual entry record generation process to ensure normal vehicle billing and exit.

[0026] In step S120, if the preset virtual entry record generation conditions are met, a virtual entry record is generated according to the preset channel association rules, wherein the preset channel association rules are used to define the correspondence between the exit channel and the virtual entry record; Optionally, if the preset virtual entry record generation conditions are met, the target exit channel where the vehicle is currently located can be used as the matching basis according to the channel association rules pre-configured and fixed in the parking lot management platform. The virtual entrance information, virtual entry parameters, and generation logic pre-bound to that exit channel can be retrieved from the database. The preset channel association rules are used to uniformly define the mapping relationship between each exit channel and the corresponding virtual entry record in the nested parking lot, ensuring that different exit channels can match virtual entry information that conforms to the actual passage path. Based on the matched rule content, combined with vehicle identification information, exit time, vehicle type, and other data, a virtual entry record containing virtual entrance location, virtual entry time, and passage area identification is automatically generated. This converts the non-standard, non-closed-loop passage trajectory formed by the vehicle in the nested parking lot into valid entry data that can be recognized and processed by the standard billing module.

[0027] It should be noted that the channel association rules support dynamic updates. Parking lot managers can add, modify, or delete the mapping relationship between exit channels and virtual entrances, and the virtual entry record generation logic (such as virtual entry time calculation method, preset passage duration, etc.) corresponding to different passage scenarios / time periods, based on the actual operational needs of nested parking lots (such as regional traffic route adjustments, changes in entrance and exit functions, and optimization of passage strategies for different time periods / scenarios) through the rule configuration interface in the system backend. After the rules are updated, the system automatically synchronizes them to the billing module and exit recognition module, and they take effect in real time without restarting the system, ensuring that the preset channel association rules can adapt to the dynamic changes in parking lot passage scenarios and improve the flexibility and adaptability of nested parking lot management.

[0028] For example, taking a nested parking lot A in a commercial complex as an example, parking lot A has an entrance A connecting to the municipal road, an exit B connecting the underground parking lot to the internal park, and a final exit C leading to the municipal road. Vehicles can directly enter the underground parking lot through entrance A, enter the internal park from exit B, and then leave the parking lot through exit C. In the system backend, channel association rules can be pre-configured to associate park exit C with underground exit B, establishing a correspondence between exit channel C and the virtual entrance. That is, when a vehicle leaves from park exit C, if the system detects that the vehicle has no valid entry record or the entry record is abnormal, and a standard passage loop cannot be formed, then according to the pre-configured channel association rules, it is determined that the vehicle entered the internal park from underground exit B and arrived at exit C. Based on the passage information corresponding to Exit B of the underground parking garage, the system automatically generates a virtual entry record that matches the vehicle and uses this virtual entry record as a valid entry record required for billing. This transforms the non-closed-loop passage trajectory that did not meet the standard billing model into a standard passage record that can be billed normally.

[0029] In step S130, based on the virtual entry record and the actual exit record of the vehicle, exit billing is performed according to the pre-design fee rules.

[0030] Optionally, after generating a virtual entry record corresponding to a vehicle, this virtual entry record is matched one-to-one with the actual exit record generated by the vehicle at the target exit channel. The two are combined to form a complete passage record pair that meets the standard closed-loop passage requirements. Then, based on the pre-set billing rules loaded into the parking lot management system, using key parameters such as virtual entrance information, virtual entry time, and vehicle type in the virtual entry record, and combining information such as exit channel, exit time, and vehicle identification recorded in the actual exit record, the parking duration and charges payable for the vehicle in the nested parking lot are accurately calculated, and the billing process is completed according to the pre-designed fee logic. By combining virtual entry records with actual exit records for billing, non-closed-loop passage trajectories that were originally unrecognizable by the standard billing model can participate in the billing process normally, realizing automatic exit billing without manual intervention, ensuring fast and smooth vehicle release, and improving the passage efficiency and management intelligence level of nested parking lots.

[0031] For example, taking a nested parking lot in a commercial complex as an example, parking lot A has an entrance A connected to the municipal road, an exit B connecting the underground parking lot to the internal park, and a final exit C leading to the municipal road. Vehicles can directly enter the underground parking lot through entrance A, drive into the internal park from exit B, and then leave the parking lot through exit C. When a vehicle enters the underground parking lot from entrance A, the system generates and records the corresponding entry record A; when a vehicle exits from exit B to the internal park, the system generates and records the corresponding exit record B, and completes the billing settlement within the underground parking area based on the entry record A and exit record B. When a vehicle continues to drive to exit C and prepares to leave the parking lot, the system generates an actual exit record C and checks whether there is a valid entry record corresponding to exit C. If no matching valid entry record is found, a standard passage loop cannot be formed. At this point, the system automatically triggers the preset channel association rules. Based on the virtual entrance generation rules corresponding to exit C, it generates a virtual entry record V_B with exit B as the reference, and uses the estimated time for the vehicle to travel from exit B to exit C as the virtual entry record time. The system binds the virtual entry record V_B with the actual exit record C, forming a passage record pair (V_B, C) that conforms to the standard billing model, and sends this passage record pair to the billing module. The billing module calculates the corresponding parking fee based on the preset park parking rate, using the virtual entry time and the actual exit time, thus completing automatic billing. Finally, vehicles can directly pay the parking fees incurred within the park at exit C. The entire process of passage recognition, virtual record generation, and billing is completed automatically by the system without manual intervention.

[0032] This application provides a nested parking lot exit management method, including: when a vehicle exits from a target exit channel, determining whether the vehicle meets preset virtual entry record generation conditions; if the preset virtual entry record generation conditions are met, generating a virtual entry record according to preset channel association rules, wherein the preset channel association rules are used to define the correspondence between exit channels and virtual entry records; and performing exit billing according to preset design fee rules based on the virtual entry record and the vehicle's actual exit record. In this application embodiment, when a vehicle exits from a target exit channel, it first determines whether the virtual entry record generation conditions are met, then generates a virtual entry record according to preset channel association rules, and finally combines the virtual entry record and the actual exit record to complete billing, effectively solving the problems of rigid rules, low automation, and incompatible billing models in existing technologies. This method does not require changes to the physical layout of the parking lot and can be flexibly adapted to various nested parking lot scenarios. It automates exit management and billing, significantly reduces manual intervention costs and billing errors, while converting non-standard passage records into standard records. This ensures compatibility with existing billing modules, guarantees stable and reliable billing, and improves parking lot management efficiency and user experience.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the step of performing exit billing according to the pre-design fee rule based on the virtual entry record and the vehicle's actual exit record includes: In step S210, the virtual entry record and the actual exit record are combined to form a standard access record pair; In step S220, the standard passage records are billed according to the pre-design fee rules.

[0034] Optionally, the virtual entry record and the actual exit record are combined to form a standard passage record pair. Taking the nested parking lot A as an example, when a vehicle leaves the park from exit C, the system does not find a valid entry record corresponding to exit C. A virtual entry record V_B has been generated according to the preset channel association rules (for example, the virtual entry location is the underground parking lot exit B, and the virtual entry time is estimated to be the time when the vehicle enters the park after leaving the underground parking lot exit B, i.e., 14:05:00). At the same time, the system generates the vehicle's actual exit record C through the license plate recognition device at exit C (for example, the exit location is the park exit C, the actual exit time is 14:30:00, and the vehicle identification is ABC1234). At this time, the system automatically associates and binds the virtual entry record V_B with the actual exit record C, forming a standard passage record pair (V_B, C) that meets the "one entry, one exit" standard passage closed-loop requirement. Then, the standard passage record pair is billed according to the preset design fee rules. This parking lot has pre-configured differentiated pre-designed parking fee rules in the system backend. For example, the parking fee rate in the park area is 2 yuan / hour during off-peak hours (10:00-16:00), with the first 30 minutes free. Then, the combined standard passage record pair (V_B, C) can be submitted to the billing module. The billing module extracts key information from the passage record pair, such as the virtual entry time of 14:05:00 and the actual exit time of 14:30:00, automatically calculating the vehicle's actual parking time in the park area to be 25 minutes, which does not exceed the first 30 minutes of free time. Based on this, the billing module calculates the parking fee payable for the vehicle in the park area to be 0 yuan according to the pre-designed fee rules, and pushes the billing result to the payment terminal at Exit C and the system backend, completing the exit billing operation. By combining virtual entry records with actual exit records into standard passage record pairs, the non-standard, non-closed-loop passage trajectories of vehicles in nested parking lots are successfully converted into valid data that can be recognized and processed by existing standard billing modules, eliminating the need for manual entry information entry or interference with the billing process. At the same time, based on pre-designed billing rules, the standard passage record pairs are accurately billed, ensuring both the standardization and accuracy of billing and achieving full automation of vehicle exit billing. This significantly improves the management efficiency of nested parking lots and the user experience, effectively solving the technical shortcomings of the existing "one-in-one-out" billing model that cannot be adapted to nested parking lots.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, generating virtual entry records according to preset channel association rules includes: In step S310, the virtual entrance information corresponding to the target exit channel is determined according to the preset channel association rules; In step S320, the virtual entry record is generated based on the virtual entry information; The virtual entry record includes a virtual entry time, which is determined based on the vehicle's actual exit time or a preset passage duration.

[0036] Optionally, virtual entrance information corresponding to the target exit channel is determined according to the preset channel association rules. For example, an association rule has been pre-bound for the target exit channel (such as park exit C), specifically: exit channel C → virtual entrance (associated with underground parking garage exit B). This rule clarifies the correspondence between park exit C and underground parking garage exit B, and is used to solve the problem of no corresponding entry record when a vehicle leaves park exit C. When a vehicle arrives at park exit C, after the system determines that it meets the preset virtual entry record generation conditions, it will automatically retrieve the preset channel association rules configured in the background. By matching the target exit channel (park exit C) where the current vehicle is located, it quickly determines the virtual entrance information corresponding to that exit channel, such as the relevant identification information of underground parking garage exit B (including the location code of underground parking garage exit B, associated passage area, etc.). Then, the virtual entry record can be generated based on the virtual entrance information. The virtual entry record includes a virtual entry time, which is determined according to the actual exit time of the vehicle or a preset passage duration. That is, after determining that the virtual entrance information is underground parking garage exit B, the system uses underground parking garage exit B as the virtual entry benchmark to generate a virtual entry record corresponding to the current vehicle. This virtual entry record may include virtual entrance information and virtual entry time. The virtual entry time is determined by subtracting the preset passage time from the actual exit time, where the preset passage time is the average passage time (set to 5 minutes) of vehicles traveling from underground parking garage exit B to park exit C, which is pre-statistically counted by the system. If the system detects that the actual exit time of the vehicle is 14:30:00, the virtual entry time is calculated to be 14:25:00. If the actual exit time of the vehicle cannot be obtained normally (e.g., due to recognition anomaly), the fixed time offset corresponding to the preset passage time is directly used, combined with the historical passage data of underground parking garage exit B, to determine the virtual entry time, ensuring the completeness and validity of the virtual entry record. By accurately matching target exit channels with virtual entrance information through preset channel association rules, the virtual entry records are highly consistent with the actual vehicle passage paths, avoiding a disconnect between virtual records and the actual scenario. At the same time, through a flexible method of determining virtual entry time, the rationality of virtual entry records is ensured, and abnormal situations in different scenarios are adapted to. This further improves the automated process of nested parking lot exit management and solves the problem of non-normal billing in existing technologies due to the lack of valid entry records.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, generating virtual entry records according to preset channel association rules includes: In step S410, the passage scenario corresponding to the vehicle is determined, including temporary passage scenario, long-term parking scenario, VIP vehicle scenario and emergency passage scenario; In step S420, the virtual entry record generation rule corresponding to the passage scenario is called from the preset channel association rule; In step S430, a virtual entry record corresponding to the passage scenario is generated based on the virtual entry record generation rules.

[0038] Optionally, based on vehicle identification information, historical passage data, vehicle attributes, and the parking lot's preset classification strategy, the current vehicle's corresponding passage scenario is determined. These scenarios include temporary passage, long-term parking, VIP vehicle scenarios, and emergency passage. After identifying the corresponding scenario type, a virtual entry record generation rule matching the scenario can be automatically retrieved from pre-configured preset channel association rules. The generation rules for different scenario types differ in virtual entrance selection, virtual entry time calculation method, effective duration, and priority. Then, based on the retrieved virtual entry record generation rule, combined with the vehicle's current target exit channel, actual exit time, and vehicle information, a virtual entry record adapted to the passage scenario is generated. This makes the virtual entry record more closely reflect the vehicle's actual passage situation, improving billing accuracy and scenario adaptability, and meeting the diverse and refined management needs of nested parking lots.

[0039] It should be noted that if the passage scenario is a temporary passage scenario, the virtual entry time is obtained by subtracting the preset average temporary passage time from the actual exit time. This means that the system uses the actual exit time of the vehicle at the target exit lane as the benchmark, subtracts the pre-configured average temporary passage time, and determines the calculated time as the virtual entry time of the vehicle entering the current passage area. If the passage scenario is a long-term parking scenario, the time when the vehicle first enters the nested parking area (through park monitoring and association with adjacent lane records) can be used as the virtual entry time. If the passage scenario is a VIP vehicle scenario, the most recent passage time of the VIP vehicle's exclusive lane can be used as the virtual entry time. If the passage scenario is an emergency passage scenario, the virtual entry time can be set as the emergency lane opening time, and a portion of the fee will be reduced according to the emergency passage rules.

[0040] For example, in a parking lot nested within a commercial complex, the preset average time for temporary vehicles is 5 minutes. If the actual exit time of a vehicle is 15:00, the virtual entry time is 14:55. For long-term parked vehicles, the virtual entry time can be determined based on the first entry record. VIP vehicles directly use the nearest passage time through the dedicated lane. Emergency vehicles are based on the opening time of the emergency lane and enjoy corresponding fee reductions, thereby ensuring that all types of vehicles can generate reasonable and compliant virtual entry records, achieving automatic billing and rapid release.

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, generating virtual entry records according to preset channel association rules includes: In step S510, the corresponding travel time period for the vehicle is determined, and the travel time period includes peak period, off-peak period and low-peak period; In step S520, the virtual entry record generation rule corresponding to the passage period is called in the preset channel association rule; In step S530, a virtual entry record corresponding to the passage period is generated based on the virtual entry record generation rule.

[0042] Optionally, based on the actual time the vehicle leaves the target exit lane, the corresponding passage period for the vehicle is identified and determined. This passage period can be divided into peak, off-peak, and low-peak periods according to parking lot traffic flow and management strategies. After determining the passage period, a virtual entry record generation rule matching the current passage period is automatically retrieved from pre-configured and stored preset lane association rules. The generation rules for different passage periods employ differentiated settings in virtual entrance matching strategies, virtual entry time calculation accuracy, and preset passage duration. Then, based on the retrieved virtual entry record generation rule, combined with vehicle identification, target exit lane information, and actual exit time, a virtual entry record adapted to the current passage period can be generated. This makes the generation of virtual entry records more closely aligned with the parking lot's operational status at different times, improving the rationality of virtual data and the accuracy of billing, and enhancing the intelligent management level and traffic efficiency of nested parking lots under different traffic pressures.

[0043] It should be noted that if the passage period is during peak hours, the virtual entry time can be obtained by subtracting the average passage time during peak hours from the actual exit time; if the passage period is during off-peak hours, the virtual entry time can be obtained by subtracting the average passage time during off-peak hours from the actual exit time; and if the passage period is during off-peak hours, the virtual entry time is calculated based on the default passage time, so that the virtual entry time is more in line with the actual traffic flow speed and traffic conditions at different times.

[0044] For example, taking a nested parking lot in a commercial complex as an example, the average passage time during peak hours can be set to 10 minutes, the average passage time during off-peak hours can be set to 3 minutes, and the default passage time can be set to 5 minutes. When a vehicle exits from Exit C of the park at 14:30:00 during peak hours, the system will set the virtual entry time to 14:20:00; when it exits at 10:15:00 during off-peak hours, the virtual entry time will be set to 10:12:00; and when it exits during off-peak hours, the virtual entry time will be calculated by subtracting 5 minutes from the exit time.

[0045] like Figure 6 As shown in one embodiment of this application, after generating the virtual entry record according to the preset channel association rules, the method further includes: In step S610, it is detected whether there is an anomaly in the generation of the virtual entry record; In step S620, if an anomaly is found, the pre-configured backup channel association rules are invoked to generate a temporary virtual entry record for the vehicle. In step S630, a temporary billing operation is performed based on the temporary virtual entry record and the actual exit record to complete the vehicle exit release; In step S640, the temporary virtual entry record is reviewed to determine whether it conforms to the actual passage conditions. In step S650, if the temporary virtual entry record matches the actual passage situation, then the temporary billing is confirmed to be valid; In step S660, if the temporary virtual entry record does not match the actual passage conditions, the temporary virtual entry record is adjusted and the billing operation is re-executed.

[0046] Optionally, the system automatically detects whether the virtual entry record is generated abnormally. These abnormalities include, but are not limited to, virtual entry times exceeding a reasonable range, mismatches between virtual entrance information and the target exit channel, conflicts between the virtual entry record and historical vehicle passage data, and the inability to correctly derive the virtual entry time. For example, if a vehicle exits from exit C of the park, the system generates a virtual entry record V_B (virtual entrance being underground parking exit B) based on preset channel association rules. However, the system detects that the derived virtual entry time is 15:30:00, while the actual exit time is 15:20:00. The virtual entry time is later than the actual exit time, which is a clear generation abnormality. In this case, the system triggers an abnormality handling process, immediately calling the pre-configured backup channel association rules to generate a temporary virtual entry record for the vehicle. The backup channel association rules are preset emergency handling rules. For example, the backup rule can be set as follows: the temporary virtual entry time is the vehicle's actual exit time minus a fixed emergency passage duration (uniformly set to 5 minutes). The virtual entrance is by default associated with the core associated entrance corresponding to the target exit channel (the backup virtual entrance corresponding to park exit C is still underground parking exit B). Using the example above, if the vehicle's actual exit time is 15:20:00, the system calls the backup rule and generates a temporary virtual entry record V_B' with a virtual entry time of 15:15:00 and a virtual entrance at parking garage exit B, ensuring the temporary record conforms to the standard "one in, one out" format. Then, based on this temporary virtual entry record and the vehicle's actual exit record, a temporary billing operation can be performed. The parking fee is quickly calculated according to the pre-designed fee rules, and the billing result is pushed to the exit payment terminal. After payment, the vehicle can exit smoothly, avoiding vehicle congestion due to abnormal virtual entry records and ensuring parking lot efficiency. For example, if the temporary virtual entry record V_B' has a time of 15:15:00, the actual exit time is 15:20:00, and the parking duration is 5 minutes, and if the first 30 minutes are free during off-peak hours, the temporary billing amount is 0 yuan, and the vehicle can be released directly.

[0047] After a vehicle exits the parking lot, the temporary virtual entry record is automatically pushed to the parking lot management backend. Management personnel then manually review the record, combining it with the vehicle's park surveillance footage, adjacent passage records, and vehicle identification information to determine if the record matches the actual vehicle passage. If the review finds that the virtual entry time of temporary virtual entry record V_B' (15:15:00) is essentially consistent with the surveillance record of the vehicle entering the park from exit B of the underground parking garage (15:14:30), and there are no discrepancies in the virtual entrance and vehicle information, then the temporary virtual entry record is deemed to match the actual passage, confirming the validity of the previously executed temporary billing and completing the billing loop for this passage. If the audit finds that the temporary virtual entry record does not match the actual traffic situation—for example, the virtual entrance in the temporary virtual entry record is Exit B of the underground parking garage, but the monitoring shows that the vehicle actually entered the park from the side gate without passing Exit B—the management personnel will adjust the temporary virtual entry record, correcting the virtual entrance information and virtual entry time (e.g., adjusting the virtual entrance to the side gate of the park and correcting the virtual entry time to the entry time of 15:10:00 shown on the monitoring). After the correction, the system will re-execute the billing operation based on the adjusted temporary virtual entry record and the actual exit record to generate accurate parking fees. If the vehicle has already paid a temporary fee, a refund will be issued for any overpayment and additional payment will be made for any underpayment, ensuring the accuracy and compliance of the billing. Through the full-process design of anomaly detection, backup rules, temporary billing and release, and manual review and calibration, the system not only solves the problem of vehicle congestion caused by abnormal virtual entry record generation and ensures the efficiency of parking lot traffic, but also compensates for the simplification of the backup rules through subsequent review and adjustment, ensuring the accuracy of billing and further improving the stability and adaptability of the system.

[0048] It should be noted that high-definition video surveillance equipment can be deployed at key nodes such as the entrances, boundaries, and exits of nested parking lots to collect and store vehicle passage images and trajectory data in real time. After generating a virtual entry record, the system automatically retrieves the surveillance footage and passage data of the corresponding exit and adjacent areas, and uses video image recognition technology to verify whether key information such as the virtual entry time and virtual entrance location are consistent with the actual passage trajectory. If the verification matches, the virtual entry record is confirmed as valid and billing continues. If it does not match, an anomaly alert is triggered and the backup channel association rules are invoked to regenerate the virtual entry record for verification again. At the same time, the system associates and stores the verification results, video evidence, virtual entry records, and billing records, which facilitates rapid verification in the event of subsequent billing complaints, reduces billing disputes, and improves system accuracy.

[0049] In this embodiment, when a vehicle exits from the target exit lane, it first determines whether the conditions for generating a virtual entry record are met. Then, a virtual entry record is generated based on preset lane association rules. Finally, the virtual entry record and the actual exit record are combined to complete the billing. This effectively solves the problems of rigid rules, low automation, and incompatible billing models in existing technologies. This method does not require changes to the physical layout of the parking lot and can flexibly adapt to various nested parking lot scenarios, achieving automation of exit management and billing. It significantly reduces manual intervention costs and billing errors, while converting non-standard passage records into standard records, achieving compatibility with existing billing modules, ensuring stable and reliable billing, and improving parking lot management efficiency and user experience.
