All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] Parking management is an important component of urban transportation infrastructure. Currently, many parking management technologies employ a single "first-come, first-served" control model, which fails to match vehicles with available parking spaces. This results in unmet parking needs after vehicles are released, leading to illegal parking.

[0031] Based on this, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle management method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium, which are described below through embodiments.

[0032] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a vehicle management method disclosed in this application will first be described in detail. For example... Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps: Step 101: Identify the vehicle type of the target vehicle to be released.

[0033] This application embodiment can be applied to parking lot entrance and exit management, or to parking areas inside parking lots, such as parking spaces (parking space locks and other control devices), or to other devices for managing vehicle entry and exit. It is mainly used to manage vehicles entering specific management areas (parking lots or parking spaces and other parking areas).

[0034] In practical applications, when a vehicle is about to enter the management area, it will be designated as a target vehicle to be released and the identification process will be triggered to identify the vehicle type of the target vehicle.

[0035] The vehicle types mentioned here can be categorized from different perspectives. Below is a brief introduction to some common classifications: Based on vehicle purpose and structure: sedans, SUVs, trucks, etc.

[0036] Vehicles can be categorized based on their operating method: dump trucks, cement mixers, sweepers, private cars, and public transportation vehicles.

[0037] Vehicles can be categorized by their power source: gasoline vehicles, pure electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, etc.

[0038] Based on vehicle shape: hatchback, sedan, etc.

[0039] Based on their operating principles, vehicles can be classified as wheeled vehicles, tracked vehicles, etc.

[0040] In practical applications, the method for identifying vehicle types can be flexibly selected based on the deployment scenario and accuracy requirements.

[0041] A common approach is to acquire vehicle appearance information, such as license plate number, license plate color, and body shape features like the presence of an exhaust pipe, using image acquisition equipment. Besides traditional visible light cameras, LiDAR can be used to perform 3D scanning of the vehicle's outline, reconstructing the body structure from point cloud data to determine the vehicle's size or powertrain type. To adapt to complex environmental conditions, cameras can be used in conjunction with radar, utilizing visual recognition of color and texture while radar measures distance and motion, achieving all-weather perception through their complementary capabilities. At night or in rainy or foggy weather, infrared thermal imaging can capture the vehicle's thermal radiation profile, compensating for the limitations of visible light equipment in low-visibility conditions.

[0042] Furthermore, for vehicles equipped with electronic tags, their identity information can be directly obtained through radio frequency identification (RFID) devices. In certain special scenarios, voiceprint recognition can also be introduced, analyzing the noise characteristics generated by the engine or during driving to help determine whether the vehicle is a gasoline-powered or electric vehicle. Roadside-mounted induction coils or geomagnetic sensors are also an option; when a vehicle passes by, its metallic material causes changes in the electromagnetic field or geomagnetic field, which can be used to detect the vehicle's presence and roughly estimate its size.

[0043] The above-mentioned identification methods can be used individually or in combination as needed to improve the accuracy and robustness of identification.

[0044] Step 102: Determine if there are any available parking spaces suitable for the vehicle type.

[0045] After determining the vehicle type, it will further determine whether there are any available parking spaces that match the vehicle type of the target vehicle.

[0046] The adaptation relationships mentioned here can be pre-set according to different management needs to form a set of access rules. For example, rules can be set according to the vehicle's power source, the vehicle's operating attributes or special permissions, or dynamic rules can be set in combination with factors such as time period and parking space occupancy rate.

[0047] As an example, if the vehicle type is an electric vehicle, then a parking space with charging capabilities can be considered a suitable parking space; if the vehicle type is a gasoline vehicle, then a regular parking space can meet its parking needs. The above examples are only a few specific implementations of the adaptation relationship. In practical applications, different types of adaptation rules can be flexibly configured according to the parking lot management strategy, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0048] The process of determining the availability of a suitable parking space relies on real-time monitoring of parking space status. Each parking space can maintain its own attribute information, such as whether it is vacant and what type of vehicle it is suitable for. When a vehicle arrives, all currently available parking spaces are iterated through, and each space is compared with its access rules to see if it matches the current vehicle type. If at least one vacant parking space that meets the criteria is found, then a suitable parking space is considered to exist; otherwise, if no vacant parking space that meets the criteria is found, then no suitable parking space is considered to exist.

[0049] In one feasible implementation, the method further includes: In response to detecting any vehicle entering or leaving the parking area, the parking space status information for the corresponding vehicle type is updated. At this time, it is determined whether there is an available parking space suitable for the vehicle type, including: Based on the current parking space status information, determine whether there are any available parking spaces suitable for the vehicle type.

[0050] In one feasible implementation, when any vehicle is detected entering or leaving the parking area, the status information of the corresponding parking space is updated accordingly. For example, when a car parks in a parking space, the status of that parking space changes from vacant to occupied; when a car leaves, the status of that parking space changes from occupied to vacant. These status changes are recorded in a timely manner and reflected in subsequent vacancy determinations.

[0051] Based on this, determining whether there is a suitable vacant parking space for the current vehicle type can be done as follows: First, obtain the status information of the currently maintained parking spaces, which records whether each parking space is vacant and its respective access rules; then, based on the current vehicle type, search through this information to see if there is at least one parking space with a status of vacancy and an access rule that matches the vehicle type. If found, it is determined that a suitable parking space exists; otherwise, it is determined that no suitable parking space exists.

[0052] This judgment method based on real-time status information ensures that each identification is based on the latest parking space occupancy status, avoiding misjudgments caused by information lag, such as mistaking an already occupied parking space as vacant, or missing a parking space that has just been released.

[0053] Step 103: If the target vehicle exists, then allow it to pass.

[0054] Once a suitable available parking space is confirmed, the target vehicle can be released. The specific method of release depends on the actual application scenario.

[0055] In parking lot entrance scenarios, allowing entry typically involves raising the barrier gate to permit the vehicle to enter. While the vehicle has gained entry permission, its final parking location still requires further guidance or control. For example, this can be achieved through displays or voice prompts informing drivers of available parking areas, or by using a backend system to centrally control parking space locks for specific spaces, ensuring vehicles can only enter spaces matching their type.

[0056] In parking lock management scenarios, the situation is different. If a parking lock manages only one parking space, then confirming the existence of a suitable parking space is equivalent to confirming whether the current parking space is suitable for that vehicle type. If the parking lock manages multiple parking spaces, it is necessary to search for suitable vacant parking spaces within its managed area. The specific action of granting access is to unlock the corresponding parking lock, allowing the vehicle to drive directly into the space for parking. Compared to the method of allowing vehicles to freely choose within the lot after entry, this application method physically ensures that every vehicle ultimately parks in a space that matches its type, avoiding the problem of haphazard parking caused by driver non-cooperation or ignoring guidance information.

[0057] Regardless of the release method used, the common point is that the release decision depends on the availability of suitable vacant parking spaces, and does not involve complex location allocation or route planning. If no suitable vacant parking spaces are available, the vehicle will not be allowed to pass. In this case, a prompt message can be sent to the user, such as informing them that there are currently no available parking spaces or suggesting that they park in another area.

[0058] This application provides a vehicle management method, device, electronic device, and storage medium that identifies the vehicle type of a target vehicle to be released, determines whether there is an available parking space suitable for that vehicle type, and releases the target vehicle when such a space exists.

[0059] Compared to the indiscriminate access management method in the prior art, the embodiments of this application introduce the matching judgment between vehicle type and parking space at the release stage, and directly associate the release authority with parking space resources, so that each release corresponds to an empty parking space that matches the vehicle type, thereby preventing vehicles from entering unsuitable parking space areas from the source, reducing the possibility of illegal parking, and also avoiding problems such as "no space available after release" or "misplaced parking after release".

[0060] Furthermore, the embodiments of this application only require adding identification and judgment logic to existing devices without modifying the hardware structure, which has the advantages of low implementation cost and flexible deployment, as well as good portability and wide applicability.

[0061] In a feasible implementation plan, such as Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle type includes at least the vehicle's power type.

[0062] Identify the vehicle type of the target vehicle to be released, including: Step 201: Identify the license plate information of the target vehicle.

[0063] Step 202: Determine the vehicle type of the target vehicle based on the power type indicated by the license plate information.

[0064] Vehicle type includes at least one dimension: the vehicle's powertrain type. The powertrain type refers to the form of energy source on which the vehicle is driven, such as an electric vehicle, a fuel-powered vehicle, or a hybrid vehicle that combines both powertrain methods.

[0065] For this type of engine type identification, it can be achieved by obtaining the vehicle's license plate information. The license plate itself carries various pieces of information that can be used to determine the engine type. For example, in some regions, different engine types correspond to different colored license plates; by identifying the license plate color, a mapping relationship can be established between the color and the engine type. Furthermore, the license plate number itself contains certain encoding rules; different number segments or character combinations may correspond to different types of vehicles. By comparing the identified license plate number with the vehicle management database, the engine type of the vehicle in the official registration information can be directly retrieved.

[0066] Therefore, determining a vehicle's power type based on license plate information can be achieved either by using intuitive features such as license plate color, or by retrieving background data using the license plate number. The specific method used depends on the actual deployment scenario and the availability of data resources.

[0067] Based on the above implementation plan, by distinguishing vehicles according to their power type and guiding electric vehicles and fuel vehicles to charging spaces and regular parking spaces respectively based on license plate information recognition results, it is possible to effectively ensure that charging spaces are given priority to electric vehicles that actually need charging, avoiding them being occupied by fuel vehicles, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of charging facilities and the parking experience of new energy vehicle owners.

[0068] In another feasible implementation, identifying the license plate information of the target vehicle includes: Identify the color of the license plate of the target vehicle.

[0069] Determining the vehicle type of the target vehicle based on the power type indicated by the license plate information includes: The vehicle type of the target vehicle is determined based on the power type indicated by the license plate color.

[0070] In this embodiment, license plate recognition can be further simplified to recognizing only the license plate color. Different power types of vehicles often correspond to different license plate colors; for example, in some regions, gasoline vehicles have blue license plates, while electric vehicles have green license plates. Therefore, after acquiring the license plate image, the color can be extracted using image recognition technology, and the vehicle can be directly determined as an electric or gasoline vehicle based on the correspondence between color and power type.

[0071] This implementation method does not require querying the backend database, nor does it rely on the specific encoding rules of license plate numbers. It has the advantages of fast recognition speed and low computational overhead, making it suitable for deployment scenarios with high real-time requirements or limited network conditions.

[0072] In other embodiments, when the vehicle type includes a work type, it can also be distinguished based on the license plate color.

[0073] For example, white, yellow, and black license plates correspond to different types of operations. Therefore, when the vehicle type includes the dimension of operation type, the color of the license plate can be used to initially determine whether the vehicle belongs to a special operation category. For example, white license plates correspond to official vehicles, and yellow license plates correspond to large operation vehicles.

[0074] This operation type identification method based on license plate color requires no additional specialized equipment or complex vehicle records; it can be implemented using only existing image acquisition and color recognition technologies, offering advantages such as ease of implementation and rapid response. Furthermore, it can be combined with other methods such as license plate number lookup and vehicle paint recognition to further improve the accuracy and reliability of the identification.

[0075] In one feasible implementation, the vehicle type includes at least the vehicle's powertrain type.

[0076] Before determining whether there is an available parking space suitable for the vehicle type, the method further includes: Configure a first mapping relationship between parking spaces and vehicle types; the first mapping relationship includes: the power type adapted to charging parking spaces includes electric drive, and the power type adapted to non-charging parking spaces is any power type.

[0077] Configure a second mapping relationship between parking spaces and vehicle types; the second mapping relationship includes: each parking space is adapted to any power type, and the second mapping relationship takes effect during a preset parking peak period to remove the power type restriction of the first mapping relationship for charging parking spaces during the parking peak period.

[0078] In other words, vehicle type must include at least one dimension: power type, i.e., the energy source used to drive the vehicle. Before determining parking space suitability, a mapping relationship between parking spaces and vehicle types needs to be pre-configured to define which power types of vehicles are allowed to park in different types of parking spaces.

[0079] The first mapping relationship can be configured as the access rule under normal circumstances. Depending on whether the parking space is equipped with charging facilities, the first mapping relationship can be set as follows: the power type adapted to charging parking spaces includes electric drive, that is, electric vehicles or plug-in hybrid vehicles can use charging parking spaces; while the power type adapted to non-charging parking spaces is any power type, that is, vehicles of any power type, whether electric, fuel, or other, can be parked in ordinary parking spaces.

[0080] Considering the resource scarcity during peak parking periods, a second mapping relationship can be configured as a temporary rule. In this second mapping relationship, each parking space is compatible with any power type, temporarily removing the power type restriction for charging spaces. This second mapping relationship takes effect during preset peak parking periods, such as weekday evening rush hours or holidays, allowing gasoline vehicles to temporarily park in charging spaces when resources are scarce, thereby improving the overall turnover and utilization rate of parking spaces. After the peak period ends, the access rules under the first mapping relationship will automatically revert. This dynamic switching mechanism allows parking space management to ensure charging needs under normal circumstances while flexibly responding to parking pressure during peak periods.

[0081] In one feasible implementation, the vehicle type also includes the vehicle's operating type.

[0082] The method further includes: Configure a third mapping relationship between parking spaces and vehicle types; the third mapping relationship includes: each parking space is matched with a preset operation type, and its power type is not restricted; the priority of the third mapping relationship is higher than that of the first mapping relationship.

[0083] In this embodiment, vehicle type may include not only power type but also operational type. Operational type refers to the functional role or attribute of the vehicle, such as an emergency rescue vehicle, sanitation vehicle, or official vehicle. These types of vehicles often need to park quickly when performing tasks and should not be overly restricted by conventional parking space rules.

[0084] For vehicles operating in specific tasks, a third mapping relationship can be pre-configured. In this mapping relationship, the task type for each parking space is set to one or more preset task types, such as setting ambulances and fire trucks to be compatible with all parking spaces. Furthermore, for vehicles that meet the task type requirements, their power type is no longer restricted; that is, whether the vehicle is electric or fuel-powered, it does not affect its eligibility for entry.

[0085] The third mapping relationship takes precedence over the first mapping relationship. This means that when a vehicle belongs to both of the preset operation types, the judgment will be made according to the third mapping relationship first, rather than according to the conventional power type rules. For example, a fuel-powered ambulance enters a parking lot during off-peak hours, and only a charging parking space is available. According to the first mapping relationship, the charging parking space is only for electric vehicles, and the ambulance should not be allowed to enter. However, because the third mapping relationship has a higher priority, the ambulance will be deemed entitled to park in the charging parking space.

[0086] This priority design ensures that special vehicles can obtain convenient parking when performing emergency tasks or official activities, avoiding delays caused by regular rules.

[0087] In one feasible implementation, after determining whether there is an available parking space suitable for the vehicle type, the method further includes: If the vehicle does not exist, it will be prohibited from entering, and a reminder message will be displayed.

[0088] In this embodiment of the application, after determining whether there is an available parking space suitable for the current vehicle type, if a negative result is obtained, that is, no available parking space matching the vehicle type is found, corresponding processing measures can be taken.

[0089] For example, when no suitable vacant parking space is available, the target vehicle is prohibited from entering the managed area. The specific form of prohibition can be flexibly set according to the application scenario. In a parking lot entrance scenario, the barrier can be kept closed to prevent vehicles from moving forward; in a parking space lock management scenario, the parking space lock can be kept locked to prevent vehicles from occupying unsuitable parking spaces.

[0090] Meanwhile, reminder messages can also be output to the user to inform them of the reason why they cannot enter currently. The form of the reminder message can be diverse. For example, it can display "There are no available charging spaces currently" or "Please park in other areas" on the display screen at the entrance, or it can be prompted through the voice broadcast system, or a notification message can be pushed to the user through the mobile application. The purpose of outputting the reminder message is to let the user understand the specific reason for being prohibited from entering, so that they can make subsequent arrangements, such as waiting for the release of idle parking spaces or choosing other parking lots.

[0091] This processing method helps to avoid the situation where vehicles search around or occupy positions randomly due to the lack of suitable parking spaces after entering, thus maintaining the order of the parking area. At the same time, clear reminder messages can also improve the user experience and reduce confusion or dissatisfaction caused by opaque information.

[0092] The following is illustrated with specific embodiments: A certain parking lot completed the configuration of the rule base during the system initialization stage. The core of this rule base is to establish the mapping relationship between vehicle types and parking space types. The vehicle types at least include two dimensions: power type (such as electric drive, fuel drive) and operation type (such as official vehicles with white license plates).

[0093] To achieve refined management and control, three mapping relationships are pre-configured in the background. The first mapping relationship is used as the benchmark rule for daily operation, stipulating that the power type suitable for charging spaces is electric drive, and the power type suitable for non-charging spaces is any type. The second mapping relationship is used to cope with the resource shortage during peak parking hours. During this period, the power type suitable for charging spaces is temporarily adjusted to any type, that is, the restriction on fuel vehicles is lifted. The third mapping relationship is set for special operation vehicles, stipulating that official vehicles such as those with white license plates are suitable for all types of parking spaces and their power types are not restricted. The priority of this mapping relationship is higher than that of the first mapping relationship.

[0094] Regarding the specific identification rules of vehicle types, this parking lot has set multiple mapping rules based on information such as license plate color, vehicle size, and license plate ownership. For example: Vehicles with green license plates, small vehicles, and starting with "粤B" belong to new energy vehicles with electric drive and correspond to new energy parking spaces; Vehicles with blue license plates, small vehicles, and starting with "粤B" belong to ordinary vehicles with fuel drive and correspond to ordinary small parking spaces; Vehicles with white license plates belong to official operation vehicles and correspond to official special parking spaces.

[0095] The collection and maintenance of parking space status runs through the entire operation process. The system will update the remaining quantity of each type of parking space in real time. For example, there are 30 remaining charging spaces and 5 remaining ordinary spaces (non-charging spaces). For official vehicles, the total number of available parking spaces is the sum of the number of charging spaces and ordinary spaces, that is, 35.

[0096] During the entry control process, when a small, non-Guangdong B license plate vehicle with a blue license plate arrives at the entrance, its license plate color and origin are identified, along with the vehicle's size, to determine that it is a regular small car powered by gasoline. Based on the first mapping relationship, this type of vehicle is assigned to a non-charging parking space. At this point, five regular parking spaces are found remaining, which is greater than zero. Therefore, it is determined that a suitable vacant parking space exists, and the gate is opened, displaying "Welcome."

[0097] Alternatively, when a government vehicle with a white license plate arrives at the entrance, its white license plate is identified. According to the third mapping relationship, white license plates belong to a preset special operation type, which has a higher priority than the first mapping relationship. In this case, the power type is no longer used for judgment; instead, the total number of available parking spaces is directly calculated. That is, there are 30 remaining charging spaces plus 5 remaining regular parking spaces, totaling 35, which is greater than zero. Therefore, it is determined that there is a suitable available parking space, and the vehicle is allowed to enter. After entering, the vehicle can choose to park in a charging space or a regular parking space depending on the situation.

[0098] During the departure control process, when a vehicle leaves, its license plate is identified, and the remaining number of parking spaces of the corresponding type is updated based on the type of parking space the vehicle actually occupied. For example, if a government vehicle with a white license plate leaves a charging parking space, the remaining number of charging parking spaces increases from 30 to 31; if it leaves a regular parking space, the remaining number of regular parking spaces increases from 5 to 6.

[0099] In addition, the parking lot is equipped with a second mapping system that operates during designated periods. For example, during weekday evening peak hours (6 PM to 8 PM), it automatically switches to the second mapping system, temporarily lifting the restrictions on power type for charging spaces and allowing gasoline vehicles to park in them, thus alleviating parking pressure during peak hours. At this time, gasoline vehicles that would normally only be able to park in regular parking spaces can also use charging spaces, effectively increasing the number of available parking spaces. After the peak hours end, the first mapping system automatically reverts to ensure that charging spaces continue to prioritize electric vehicles.

[0100] Through the coordinated operation of the above three mapping relationships, the parking lot achieves differentiated access control for electric vehicles, fuel-powered vehicles, and special-operation vehicles. This ensures the reasonable allocation of charging resources under normal circumstances, flexibly responds to parking demand during peak hours, and provides priority passage for special vehicles such as official vehicles.

[0101] Based on the same technical concept, embodiments of this application also provide a vehicle management device, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the device includes: The identification module 301 is used to identify the vehicle type of the target vehicle to be released.

[0102] The determination module 302 is used to determine whether there is an available parking space suitable for the vehicle type.

[0117] This application provides a vehicle management method, device, electronic device, and storage medium that identifies the vehicle type of a target vehicle to be released, determines whether there is an available parking space suitable for that vehicle type, and releases the target vehicle when such a space exists.

[0118] Compared to the indiscriminate access management method in the prior art, the embodiments of this application introduce the matching judgment between vehicle type and parking space at the release stage, and directly associate the release authority with parking space resources, so that each release corresponds to an empty parking space that matches the vehicle type, thereby preventing vehicles from entering unsuitable parking space areas from the source, reducing the possibility of illegal parking, and also avoiding problems such as "no space available after release" or "misplaced parking after release".

[0119] Furthermore, the embodiments of this application only require adding identification and judgment logic to existing devices without modifying the hardware structure, which has the advantages of low implementation cost and flexible deployment, as well as good portability and wide applicability.
