Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a technique for realizing effective utilization of parking stalls provided as boarding and disembarking spaces for passenger vehicles such as large buses. [Background technology]

[0002] When trains or planes arrive at terminals such as railway stations or airports, passengers must get off and transfer to more maneuverable means of transportation such as buses or taxis. Conversely, people who arrive at the terminal using more maneuverable means of transportation transfer to trains or planes. In addition, "transportation malls" are provided in the terminals as a place for "transfers."

[0003] Buses, which are a form of short-distance transportation, often have bus offices located near terminals. Then, drivers drive buses from the offices to transportation malls, pick up passengers, and operate the designated routes.

[0004] Patent Document 1 discloses a technology for reducing the workload of changing the parking positions of buses at bus offices in accordance with the next day's service schedule. That is, it discloses "a bus management system that performs a dispatch plan that enables smooth departure of buses the next day, regardless of the parking positions of the buses when they enter the depot, and without moving the buses' parking positions" (see Figure 1).

[0005] In the case where the preceding bus cannot depart due to some trouble at the transport mall, a bus will be replenished from the garage to the transport mall based on the dispatch plan. Therefore, multiple buses may be stranded in the limited space of the transport mall, which may lead to further delays.

[0006] In response to the above-mentioned problems, Patent Document 2 discloses a traffic management technology that can efficiently operate multiple mobile objects (buses) without having them stay in a transport mall. That is, the technology is made up of multiple buses, information and communication devices associated with the buses, and a traffic management device that can communicate with the information and communication devices, and when it receives bus departure information from the information and communication devices, it determines dispatch information including the boarding and alighting place where the mobile object will be replenished and the destination of the mobile object based on the departure information and predetermined operation information, and associates the determined dispatch information with the mobile object to be replenished (see FIG. 2).

[0007] Meanwhile, a system has been proposed that uses wireless communication with an ETC device installed in a vehicle to manage the entry and exit of vehicles in a parking lot. For example, Patent Document 3 discloses a parking lot server and parking fee settlement system that enables cashless payment of parking fees that reflect discount information through an ETC system.

[0008] A system has also been proposed that uses a camera to photograph vehicle license plates to manage the entry and exit of vehicles from a parking lot. For example, Patent Document 4 discloses a technology that combines a camera with an ETC system to realize parking lot management that does not require parking tickets.

[0009] For those who wish to use parking lots that become crowded depending on factors such as the season, day of the week, and time of day, it is desirable to be able to reserve a parking space (parking space) by specifying a date and time. For parking lot providers, it is also desirable to be able to reserve and operate parking lots in order to ensure smooth use. For this reason, various parking lot reservation systems have been proposed. For example, Patent Document 5 discloses technology for realizing a space reservation service without using traffic cones (registered trademark) or reserved spaces. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0010] [Patent Document 1] JP 2007-264876 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2020-77106 A [Patent Document 3] JP 2019-101544 A [Patent Document 4] Patent No. 6305103 [Patent Document 5] JP 2020-119188 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0011] Now, let us use Kyoto Station, one of Japan's leading tourist destinations and a popular destination for school trips, as an example of a terminal to explain the current issues.

[0012] (Bus mall around Kyoto Station) The bus boarding and disembarking spaces at Kyoto Station are the bus mall directly connected to the station (hereafter referred to as the "mall directly connected to the station"), which has a parking stall that can accommodate 12 buses at the Hachijo Exit on the ground floor, and the extra mall in front of Higashi Honganji Temple, which can accommodate about seven buses. During peak seasons when the mall directly connected to the station and the extra mall are not enough, a disembarking mall that is originally intended for disembarking only and can accommodate two buses, and a temporary mall provided by the government under a temporary contract with private land are also used.

[0013] For example, consider a group of tourists (students on school trips including their chaperones) arriving at Kyoto Station by Shinkansen. Approximately 100 people board each carriage, but during school trip season, a special train is organized with a special timetable, and all 16 carriages, i.e. 1,600 students on school trips, are school trip students. When the 1,600 students on school trips (including their chaperones) arrive at Kyoto Station, they transfer to buses to travel to their base for the trip. As one bus has a capacity of approximately 50 people, 32 buses are required. These figures make it clear that there is a demand for smooth operation of bus malls directly connected to stations.

[0014] (Bus waiting area) About 10 minutes from Kyoto Station, there is a bus waiting area called "Kamogawa Nishi Ramp Office." This bus waiting area can accommodate up to 40 buses, so bus companies that do not have bus waiting areas within Kyoto City (for example, bus companies based in prefectures other than Kyoto) can use this waiting area. Then, at the "predetermined timing," the bus heads to a mall directly connected to the station, picks up passengers there, and departs for its destination. In other words, by utilizing the Kamogawa Nishi Ramp Office, even bus companies that do not have a bus waiting area within Kyoto City can calculate the travel time to Kyoto Station (within a certain degree of error).

[0015] (Parking fees at malls directly connected to stations) Bus malls directly connected to stations have adopted an arrangement whereby parking fees are collected from buses that wait for passengers to board for more than a certain time (for example, 10 minutes), and buses that disembark are free. As mentioned above, the time required for disembarking is short, but the parking time for passengers waiting to board varies. Therefore, it is reasonable to require buses that tend to be parked for long periods of time while waiting for passengers to board to pay a fee for occupying boarding and disembarking spaces.

[0016] (Traffic congestion around Kyoto Station) However, because of the premise that parking fees are to be collected from buses that wait for more than 10 minutes, the following specific problems have arisen: Bus drivers try to shorten parking times at bus malls directly connected to stations (to make parking cheaper or free). To do so, they end up parking the bus on the roadside near Kyoto Station to adjust the timing of entering the bus boarding and disembarking space (malls directly connected to stations) by calling the organizers of group tours, etc. As a result, traffic congestion occurs around Kyoto Station due to the roads narrowing as buses are parked on the roadside.

[0017] In order to rationally operate the bus mall directly connected to the station, which can only accommodate a limited number of buses, it is essential to introduce a parking space reservation system and parking fee settlement system that take into account the current situation. However, the technology disclosed in the prior art mentioned above is insufficient to rationally operate the bus mall directly connected to Kyoto Station.

[0018] For example, even if the technology disclosed in Patent Document 2 were adopted in the bus boarding and disembarking spaces directly connected to Kyoto Station, it is not expected to solve the problem. That is, the technology disclosed in Patent Document 2 is a technology that assumes that the boarding and disembarking area (61) is a general bus stop, and is not considered to be a technology that corresponds to the collection of parking fees at bus boarding and disembarking spaces.

[0019] (Gap between the actual bus fleet management and the parking space reservation system) As a technology that adds the functionality of a parking space reservation system to a parking fee settlement system, it is necessary to include in advance in the parking space reservation system vehicle identification data for identifying the vehicle related to the reservation.

[0020] On the other hand, the reality is that bus companies cannot specify the vehicle that will fulfill a reservation until just before the reservation. In other words, a bus vehicle is generally tied to a bus driver, and the bus driver's working status is determined depending on the physical condition of the driver on the day. In addition, the maintenance status of bus vehicles is different every day. For this reason, it often happens that the scheduled driver is unable to fulfill the reservation with his / her own bus vehicle, and another driver is sent to fulfill the reservation.

[0021] Due to the circumstances of the bus companies described above, it is difficult to include vehicle identification data based on the vehicle number in the parking space reservation system, because the bus vehicle must be identified before it can be reserved. Therefore, even if the technologies disclosed in Patent Documents 3, 4, and 5 are simply combined, it is difficult to rationally operate the parking space reservation system and parking fee settlement system in the mall directly connected to Kyoto Station.

[0022] (Another reason why operation is difficult) This involves a series of tasks, such as issuing instructions on the timing of leaving the bus waiting area for a mall connected to the station based on the reservation details made in the parking space reservation system, entering the mall connected to the station on the condition that a parking fee is paid, parking spaces where passengers enter and exit continuously, boarding passengers in groups of 50, and exiting the parking space, which requires payment of the parking fee.

[0023] To carry out this series of tasks smoothly and safely, it is essential to have a parking space attendant at the parking space who can give accurate instructions to the bus driver. This is because it requires a lot of flexible judgment, such as ensuring the safety of the actions of many passengers, and giving instructions to the bus driver based on differences in skill around the parking space, and automation is difficult.

[0024] If parking stall attendants could operate the stalls more smoothly, it would help ease the congestion around stations. Therefore, technology that can provide proper support to parking stall attendants is desirable. It is also expected to fill in the gaps in personal skills that arise due to factors such as the experience of parking stall attendants.

[0025] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a technology that enables smooth boarding and disembarking of passenger vehicles, on the premise that parking fees are collected. [Means for solving the problem]

[0026] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a first invention relates to a parking space management system capable of providing information to parking space attendants, and a second invention relates to a computer program for controlling the parking management device of the first invention.

[0027] (First Invention) The first invention relates to a parking space management system that manages a parking lot having a plurality of parking spaces for carrying passengers of passenger vehicles (see Figs. 4 and 5). The parking space management system includes a boarding facilitation system for facilitating boarding of passengers in passenger vehicles entering the parking space; and a parking fee collection system for collecting a parking fee according to the length of time the passenger vehicle stays in the parking lot (see FIG. 4).

[0028] The boarding facilitation system includes a parking space management database that stores reservation data regarding the use of the parking space by the passenger vehicle in advance; a parking space attendant terminal for enabling a parking space attendant to view the reservation data stored in the parking space management database; a reservation certificate data acquisition means for acquiring reservation certificate data relating to a reservation certificate when the passenger vehicle has a reservation certificate for use of the parking space; data verification means for verifying the reservation certificate data acquired by the reservation certificate data acquisition means with reservation data in the parking space management database; execution data transmission means for transmitting reservation execution data, which reflects that the reservation data related to the match has been matched by the data matching means, to the station attendant terminal; Equipped with.

[0029] The parking fee collection system includes a parking data receiving means for detecting the entry of a passenger vehicle into the parking lot by wirelessly communicating with an ETC device mounted in the passenger vehicle and receiving vehicle identification data and entry time data; a parking lot exit data receiving means for detecting the departure of the passenger vehicle by wirelessly communicating with the ETC vehicle-mounted unit when the passenger vehicle is about to leave the parking lot, and receiving vehicle identification data and departure time data; a parking fee calculation means for calculating a parking fee for the vehicle identification data linked to the entry time data and the departure time data; a parking space management database that outputs data indicating that the vehicle has left the parking lot when the parking fee calculation means has confirmed that the vehicle has paid the parking fee; Equipped with.

[0030] (Terminology) "Passenger vehicles" refers to large buses that can accommodate around 50 people and small to medium-sized buses that can accommodate around 20 to 30 people, but may also include microbuses and jumbo taxis that are designed to accommodate fewer than 10 people.

[0031] The term "reservation certificate" includes digital reservation certificates that allow data to be electronically read to identify the parking space reservation (for example, the name of the group, the planned time of entry, etc.), analog reservation certificates that can be visually inspected by parking space attendants, and hybrid reservation certificates that have both digital and analog functions.

[0032] "Reservation certificate data acquisition means" refers to the means described in the variations of the invention described below, as well as a reservation certificate camera that takes a picture of the reservation certificate (see Figure 6), a short-range wireless communication chip capable of reading data written in a short-range wireless communication chip mounted on the reservation certificate, etc.

[0033] (action) By wirelessly communicating with an ETC on-board unit mounted in a passenger vehicle, the entry of the passenger vehicle into the parking lot is detected, and the entry data receiving means receives the vehicle identification data and entry time data. When a passenger vehicle has a reservation certificate for use of the parking space, the reservation certificate data acquisition means acquires the reservation certificate data relating to the reservation certificate. The reservation certificate data acquired by the reservation certificate data acquisition means is matched by the data comparison means with reservation data in the parking space management database. The data comparison means transmits reservation completion data to the parking space attendant terminal, which reflects that the reservation data related to the match has been completed as a result of the match. The mass attendant uses the mass attendant terminal Reservation fulfillment data This will help to facilitate smooth instructions being given to drivers of passenger vehicles entering and exiting parking spaces.

[0034] When a passenger vehicle is about to leave the parking lot, the departure of the passenger vehicle is detected by wireless communication with the ETC on-board device, and the departure data receiving means receives the vehicle identification data and departure time data.The parking fee calculation means calculates the parking fee for the vehicle identification data linked to the departure time data received by the departure data receiving means by using the entrance time data. When the parking fee calculation means confirms that the settlement has been completed, the exit data transmission means outputs exit data indicating that the vehicle has left the parking lot to the parking space management database. In the parking space management database, the reservation data by the vehicle can be processed as having been fulfilled.

[0035] (Variation 1 of the first invention) In a first aspect of the present invention, the reservation certificate data acquisition means may be provided in the station attendant terminal.

[0036] For example, if a two-dimensional barcode or easily readable numbers or other symbols are printed on the reservation certificate, the camera mounted on the masseuse attendant terminal serves as the reservation certificate data acquisition means (see Fig. 5).If a short-range wireless communication chip is mounted on the reservation certificate, the short-range wireless communication chip mounted on the masseuse attendant terminal may serve as the reservation certificate data acquisition means (see Fig. 5).

[0037] (Variation 2 of the first invention) The first aspect of the present invention can be formed as follows. That is, the reservation certificate data acquiring means can be provided in the parking data receiving means that performs wireless communication with the ETC vehicle-mounted unit (see FIG. 7).

[0038] The parking data receiving means is configured as part of the parking fee collection system as hardware that communicates wirelessly with the ETC onboard unit, but it is possible to substitute some of the functions of the boarding facilitation system as in Variation 2.

[0039] (Variation 3 of the first invention) The first aspect of the present invention can be formed as follows. That is, the leaving data transmitting means may transmit the leaving data to the lot attendant terminal as well (see FIG. 4).

[0040] It is desirable that the parking space attendant terminal that receives the exit data erase the reservation data related to the exit data from the screen display or make it impossible to display it unless the screen transitions to another one as processed data. This is to make the work smoother by making it different from the data that the parking space attendant needs to view and refer to the most.

[0041] (Variation 4 of the first invention) The first invention can be formed as follows. In other words, the execution data transmission means transmits parking space execution data reflecting the reservation certificate data to an electronic signboard installed in the parking lot to display reservation data, etc., of passenger vehicles entering and leaving the parking lot (see Figure 5).

[0042] (Terminology) "Electronic signage", also known as digital signage, is a display that can output text, images, videos, etc. using LCD, CRT, OLED, etc. It is preferable if it is equipped with a speaker that can output audio. It is constantly updating data that changes from moment to moment and displays the performance data. It is viewed and used by passengers who are planning to board passenger vehicles from the parking lot, and guides who guide those passengers.

[0043] (action) The execution data transmission means transmits the parking space execution data reflecting the reservation certificate data to an electronic signboard installed in the parking lot. If the electronic signboard reflects and outputs the execution data, it is possible to maintain a high level of convenience for passengers who are planning to board passenger vehicles from the parking lot and guides who guide those passengers.

[0044] (Variation 5 of the first invention) The first invention can be formed as follows. In other words, the exit data transmission means may transmit parking space execution data reflecting the reservation data and the reservation certificate data to the escort terminal associated with the passenger escort linked to the specified reservation data (see Figure 4).

[0045] (Terminology) "Educator" means, in the case where the passengers are part of a group tour, the tour conductor of the travel agency leading the group tour; in the case where the passengers are students on a school trip, the teacher leading the school trip.

[0046] Information such as the fact that the passenger vehicle they are planning to board is waiting in the parking lot is sent to the escort terminal associated with the escort. Therefore, the escort can know the status of the passenger vehicle they are planning to board even when, for example, they are getting off the train or walking around the station. This leads to appropriate escort actions, such as urging passengers to hurry up, which ultimately contributes to the smooth operation of the parking spaces.

[0047] (Variation 6 of the first invention) The first invention can be formed as follows. That is, when a waiting area database is provided that stores management data related to passenger vehicles waiting in a waiting area where passenger vehicles heading to the parking lot are waiting, The waiting area database has received necessary data from the parking space management database in advance, The execution data transmission means transmits the parking space execution data reflecting the reservation certificate data to the waiting area database (see FIG. 4).

[0048] The waiting area will be equipped with a reservation certificate output means that outputs reservation certificates based on the management data stored in the waiting area database (see Figure 3). Since passenger vehicles must obtain a reservation certificate before heading to the parking lot, passenger vehicles can be physically managed in the waiting area.

[0049] (Variation 7 of the first invention) The first invention can be formed as follows. In other words, if the passenger vehicle does not have a reservation certificate, the parking fee collection system may transmit no-reservation data indicating that a reservation certificate is not present to the parking lot attendant terminal (see Figure 9).

[0050] (action) For passenger vehicles that do not have reservation certificates, no-reservation data is sent to the parking space attendant terminal. If this no-reservation data could also be output at the parking space attendant terminal, this would contribute to smoother work for parking space attendants in parking lots where passenger vehicles with and without reservation certificates are mixed.

[0051] (Second Invention) A second invention relates to a computer program for controlling a parking space management system that manages a parking lot having a plurality of parking spaces for carrying passengers in passenger vehicles. The computer program includes a reservation data storage step for storing reservation data regarding the use of the parking stalls by the passenger vehicles in advance; a reservation certificate data acquisition step for acquiring reservation certificate data relating to a reservation certificate in a case where the passenger vehicle has a reservation certificate for use of the parking space; a data matching step of matching the reservation certificate data acquired in the reservation certificate data acquisition step with the reservation data; a data transmission step of transmitting reservation execution data to the station attendant terminal, the data reflecting that the reservation data related to the match has been matched by the data matching step; a parking data receiving step of detecting that the passenger vehicle has entered the parking lot by wirelessly communicating with an ETC device installed in the passenger vehicle and receiving vehicle identification data and entry time data; a parking lot exit data receiving step of detecting the departure of the passenger vehicle by wirelessly communicating with the ETC on-board unit when the passenger vehicle is about to leave the parking lot, and receiving vehicle identification data and departure time data; A parking fee calculation step of calculating a parking fee for the vehicle identification data linked to the entry time data and the departure time data; a parking space data transmission procedure for outputting data indicating that the vehicle has left the parking space to the parking space management database when the completion of settlement is confirmed in the parking fee calculation procedure; This is a computer program to be executed by the parking space management system.

[0052] (Variation 1 of the second invention) In a second aspect of the present invention, the delivery data transmission procedure may also include transmitting the delivery data to the lot attendant terminal.

[0053] (Variation 2 of the second invention) The second invention may be formed as follows. In other words, the execution data transmission procedure may involve transmitting parking space execution data reflecting the reservation certificate data to an electronic sign installed in the parking lot to display reservation data, etc., of passenger vehicles entering and leaving the parking lot.

[0054] (Variation 3 of the second invention) The execution data transmission procedure in the second invention may involve transmitting parking space execution data reflecting the reservation data and the reservation certificate data to the escort terminal associated with the passenger escort linked to the specified reservation data.

[0055] (Variation 4 of the second invention) The second invention may be formed as follows. That is, in the case where the parking lot is provided with a waiting area database that accumulates management data related to passenger vehicles waiting in a waiting area where passenger vehicles heading to the parking lot are waiting, the waiting area database receives necessary data in advance from the parking space management database, The performance data transmission step may include transmitting performance data for the parking space reflecting the reservation voucher data to the waiting area database.

[0056] (Variation 5 of the second invention) The second invention may be formed as follows. In other words, if the passenger vehicle does not have a reservation certificate, the parking space management system may be caused to execute a no-reservation data transmission procedure that transmits no-reservation data indicating that a reservation certificate is not present to the parking space attendant terminal.

[0057] (Third Invention) A third invention relates to a parking stall attendant terminal that can be viewed by a parking stall attendant who issues instructions to drivers of passenger vehicles that enter a parking lot having a plurality of parking stalls for loading passengers into passenger vehicles. That is, a reservation data receiving means for receiving reservation data regarding the use of the parking space by the passenger vehicle from a parking space management database; a reservation certificate data receiving means for receiving reservation certificate data relating to a reservation certificate provided on a passenger vehicle that has entered the parking lot; a performance data receiving means for receiving parking space current status data, which indicates a current status of the parking space and reflects that the reservation data related to the comparison has been performed, by comparing the reservation certificate data received by the reservation certificate data receiving means with the reservation data; A data receiving means for receiving data indicating that the vehicle has left the parking lot; a priority data calculation means for determining the priority order of data to be displayed on a screen based on the reservation data, the reservation certificate data, the parking space current status data and the exit data; data output means for outputting on a screen the reservation data, the reservation voucher data, the execution data, and the delivery data based on the priority order determined by the priority data calculation means; It is a mass attendant terminal equipped with

[0058] (Fourth Invention) The fourth invention relates to a computer program for controlling a parking space attendant terminal that can be viewed by a parking space attendant who issues instructions to drivers of passenger vehicles that enter a parking lot having a plurality of parking spaces for loading passengers into passenger vehicles. a reservation data receiving step of receiving reservation data regarding the use of the parking space by the passenger vehicle from a parking space management database; a reservation certificate data receiving step of receiving reservation certificate data relating to a reservation certificate provided on a passenger vehicle that has entered the parking lot; a fulfillment data receiving procedure for receiving reservation fulfillment data that reflects that the reservation data related to the match has been fulfilled by comparing the reservation certificate data received in the reservation certificate data receiving procedure with the reservation data; a step of receiving exit data indicating that the vehicle has left the parking lot; a priority data calculation step for determining a priority order of data to be output on a screen based on the reservation data, the reservation certificate data, the parking space current status data, and the exit data; a data output procedure for outputting the reservation data, the reservation voucher data, the execution data, and the delivery data on a screen based on the priority order determined by the priority data calculation procedure; This is a computer program executed by the masseuse terminal.

[0059] The computer program according to the second or fourth aspect of the invention can also be transmitted from a computer storing the computer program to other terminal means via a communication line. The computer program according to the second or fourth invention can also be provided by storing it in a recording medium. Here, the "recording medium" is a medium capable of carrying a program that does not occupy space by itself. For example, it is a hard disk, a CD-R, a DVD-R, a flash memory, etc. Effect of the Invention

[0060] According to the first invention, it is possible to provide a parking space management system which contributes to smooth boarding of passengers into passenger vehicles. According to the second invention, it is possible to provide a computer program for controlling a parking space management system that contributes to facilitating passengers' boarding into passenger vehicles.

[0062] The present invention will be described below based on the drawings and embodiments. The drawings used here are Fig. 3 to Fig. 16. In the drawings, the arrows with two dashed lines indicate wireless communication, and the arrows with solid lines indicate wired communication. The numbers and letters attached to the arrows indicate the order of data processing from the youngest to the oldest.

[0063] (Figure 3) Figure 3 shows an overview of the parking space reservation system outside of the peak tourist seasons of spring and autumn. A person who wishes to reserve a parking space (such as a travel agency or a group tour organizer) completes advance registration (not shown), and accesses the "parking space availability viewing site" provided by the reservation server on his / her own reservation terminal to view the availability status (1).Then, data including attribute information for identifying the person (group name, contact information of the representative, etc.) and the desired date and time is transmitted from the reservation inquiry transmission means (2).

[0064] In the reservation server, the data transmitted from the reservation inquiry transmitting means is received by the reservation inquiry receiving means, stored in the parking space management database (3), compared with the accumulated data to determine whether or not the reservation can be made (4), and a reply is sent by the reservation acceptance transmitting means (5).

[0065] When the reserving party receives a notification on his / her terminal that a reservation is possible, the reservation intention transmitting means transmits data indicating the intention to make a formal reservation (7). The reservation server receives the data regarding the intention to make a reservation through the reservation intention receiving means, and stores it as reservation data in the parking space management database (8). To confirm that the reservation details have been confirmed, the reservation details transmitting means transmits a reservation confirmation, which is then received by the reservation details receiving means of the reserving party terminal (9).

[0066] The confirmed reservation details are stored on a "reservation execution data bus company site" which can be accessed by a terminal related to the bus company that fulfills the reservation details, and the data is updated from time to time (9). The bus company's terminal (for example, a waiting area terminal or a waiting area server) accesses the reservation execution data bus company site using the reservation execution data viewing means (0), Reservation voucher output method ( for example, The reservation certificate is printed out by the printer (11). The printed reservation certificate is to be carried on the bus that will carry the reservation data related to that reservation certificate. Buses that carry reservation certificates are limited to those equipped with an ETC onboard unit.

[0067] (Figure 4) Figure 4 conceptually shows the relationships between the reservation server and waiting area terminal shown in Figure 3, a bus that has entered a parking lot with a parking space, a parking space attendant terminal (e.g., a tablet terminal) carried by a parking space attendant who issues instructions to the bus driver at the parking space, and an escort terminal (e.g., a smartphone) for the passenger chaperone who boards the bus, with a focus on the parking space management device of the present invention.

[0068] The parking space management device is a device that manages a parking lot that has a plurality of parking spaces for passenger vehicles to board passengers. The parking space management device includes a boarding facilitation system for facilitating boarding of passengers into passenger vehicles entering the parking spaces, and a parking fee collection system for collecting parking fees according to the length of time that the passenger vehicles stay in the parking lot. In addition, the term "parking space management system" in the claims refers to a system including a parking space management device and a space attendant terminal.

[0069] The boarding smoothing system is a system that processes data obtained from the reservation voucher displayed on the front of the bus that has entered the parking lot. The order of data processing is shown in the numbers in parentheses. The parking fee collection system acquires data from the ETC onboard unit of the bus that has entered the parking lot, and processes the data. The order of data processing is indicated by lowercase letters in parentheses.

[0070] The boarding facilitation system acquires parking space management data in advance from the parking space management database of the reservation server, and stores it in the parking space site database (0). A reservation certificate data acquisition means acquires reservation certificate data related to the reservation certificate (attribute data such as the passenger group name, scheduled entry time, and scheduled departure time) (1). A data comparison means then compares the reservation certificate data with the reservation data accumulated in the parking space site database (2). If the comparison is successful, a completion data transmission means transmits completion data indicating that the relevant reservation data has been completed to the parking space attendant terminal, the escort terminal, and the waiting area terminal (4).

[0071] There are several variations in the specific examples of the "reservation certificate data acquisition means." These variations will be described later with reference to Figs. 5, 6 and 7.

[0072] In the parking fee collection system, the entrance data receiving means obtains data indicating that the vehicle has entered a parking lot from the ETC onboard unit installed in the bus vehicle (this does not include data specifying the vehicle number, but includes identification data for distinguishing the vehicle from other vehicles) via short-range communication, and records the time data when the entrance data was obtained (a).

[0073] Meanwhile, when the passenger boards the bus and it leaves the parking space, the exit data receiving means acquires identification data to identify the vehicle through short-range communication with the ETC onboard unit (c), and sends this data together with the time data to the parking fee settlement means (d). The parking fee settlement means uses the entry time data received by the entry data receiving means to calculate the parking fee (including settings such as parking for less than 10 minutes being free) and presents it to the bus driver. The driver is informed that he or she has completed the parking fee settlement or is a registered user of advance payment. The exit data transmitting means then transmits exit data indicating that the exit procedure has been completed and the bus has left the parking space to the parking space management database or space attendant terminal (e).

[0074] Although it is omitted to avoid complicating the illustration, the parking space attendant terminal acquires reservation data in advance from the parking space management database. The parking space attendant terminal acquires data such as the most recent reservation status of the parking space and the current parking status from the execution data (4) sent from the execution data transmission means and the exit data sent from the exit data transmission means, and can display and output this data. This makes it easy for the parking space attendant to check the current status and grasp the situation immediately afterwards, which contributes to actions that lead to the efficiency and smoothness of the parking space attendant's work.

[0075] The escort terminal, which is also omitted to avoid complicating the illustration, retrieves reservation data in advance from the parking space management database. In addition, it receives performance data (4). Thus, data such as the most recent reservation status of the parking lot and the current parking situation is stored in the escort terminal. By displaying and outputting this data, the escort can know the current status of the parking lot. Thus, the escort terminal contributes to smooth the process of guiding the passengers under its supervision to the parking spaces.

[0076] If the above-mentioned parking bay operation system, including the parking bay management device, is applied to a bus-only parking lot directly connected to Kyoto Station, the bus boarding and disembarking space will only be large enough to accommodate 12 buses. However, a parking bay attendant using a parking bay attendant terminal will be able to guide the buses entering the parking lot one after another, and ensure that buses with passengers on board can leave smoothly.

[0077] The bus boarding and disembarking spaces are also used by groups of passengers disembarking from buses that have traveled to Kyoto Station. Therefore, they are used not only by buses waiting to board, but also by buses that have picked up passengers to disembark. Compared to boarding, disembarking takes a relatively short time (and therefore parking time). For this reason, Kyoto Station has a parking lot for 12 buses dedicated to boarding and a parking lot for 2 buses dedicated to disembarking. In addition, parking lots reserved for disembarking may also be used as temporary boarding spaces in the event of an irregular situation, and parking lot attendants will also guide passengers there.

[0078] (Figure 5) Figure 5 shows an embodiment in which the station attendant terminal executes the "reservation certificate data acquisition means" shown in Figure 4. There are several other methods for causing the station attendant terminal to execute the "reservation certificate data acquisition means". In Figure 4, the boarding facilitation system and the parking fee collection system are illustrated separately, but this is because it is a conceptual illustration and they can be separated. In Figure 5, they are not separated because it would be difficult to separate them.

[0079] The first method is for the bus attendant to visually check the text data displayed on the reservation voucher, compare it with the data about the bus vehicle that is scheduled to arrive that is displayed on the bus attendant's terminal, and enter data indicating "arrived" for any matching data (if it is a tablet terminal, touch a designated area on the screen).

[0080] The second method is to print a two-dimensional barcode showing the reservation data on the reservation certificate, and have the camera installed in the ticket booth attendant terminal read the two-dimensional barcode (not shown). Compared to the first method, this has the advantage of eliminating input errors.

[0081] The third method (not shown) is to store a data chip containing the reservation certificate data in the reservation certificate, and the reservation certificate data is read by the mass transit attendant terminal via wireless communication with a short-range wireless communication chip installed in the mass transit attendant terminal. A data chip needs to be stored in the reservation card, and a data writer to write the reservation card data to the data chip is required at the bus waiting area. However, this has the advantage that the reservation card is no longer a disposable paper medium, since the reservation card data can be rewritten simply by rewriting it to the data chip.

[0082] The embodiment shown in Fig. 5 includes an electronic signboard, which was not described in Fig. 4. This electronic signboard is installed at passenger boarding and disembarking points in a bus parking lot, and outputs current parking stall data in the form of characters or the like using a display device such as an LCD panel. The output data is illustrated assuming the same content as that of the escort terminal described above, but the data displayed on the escort terminal and the data output on the electronic signboard do not have to match. Passengers and chaperones can check whether the bus they are boarding is already parked.

[0083] In the embodiment shown in Fig. 5, information processing based on the reservation certificate is the boarding facilitation system, and information processing based on the ETC on-board unit is the parking fee collection system, similar to the embodiment shown in Fig. 4. The order of data processing is indicated by lowercase alphabets in parentheses, and detailed explanations will be omitted.

[0084] The performance data transmission means transmits performance data not only to the mass attendant terminal but also to the electronic signboard (5), and the exit data transmission means transmits the exit data to the electronic signboard, making it possible to output the necessary data on the electronic signboard. The exit data transmission means also transmits exit data to the electronic signboard to indicate that the bus has left the parking space (f). After transmitting the exit data to the parking space site database, the exit data is also transmitted to the parking space management database of the reservation server (g).

[0085] (Figure 6) In the embodiment shown in Fig. 6, a reservation certificate camera is used as the reservation certificate data acquisition means. The numbers, symbols, two-dimensional barcode, etc. printed on the reservation certificate are photographed and digitized to acquire the reservation certificate data. This reduces the workload of the station attendant compared to the method of having the two-dimensional barcode read by a camera mounted on the station attendant terminal mentioned above. The boarding smoothing system and the parking fee collection system are similar to the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, and detailed explanations will be omitted.

[0086] (Figure 7) In the embodiment shown in Fig. 7, a reservation certificate data acquisition means is provided in the ticket issuing machine that issues a parking ticket when entering a parking lot. The numbers, symbols, two-dimensional barcode, etc. printed on the reservation certificate are read by a scanner provided in the ticket issuing machine, digitized, and the reservation certificate data is acquired. The boarding smoothing system and the parking fee collection system are similar to the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, and detailed explanations will be omitted.

[0087] (Figure 8) The embodiment shown in Fig. 8 shows a system in which a reservation server performs part of the functions of a parking space management device installed in a parking lot. In other words, the reservation server is a part of the parking space management system, and the server collectively manages the main data.

[0088] The parking space management device does not have the parking space on-site database of the reservation server. In other words, it does not hold the same data as the reservation server, and the reservation certificate data acquired by the reservation certificate data acquisition means is transmitted to the reservation server via the reservation certificate data transmission means (1, 2, 3). In the reservation server that receives the reservation certificate data, the data comparison means compares the received reservation certificate data with the reservation data stored in the parking space management database (4, 5). If, as a result of the comparison, it is determined that the reservation data has been completed (6), the completion data transmission means transmits the completion data to the parking space attendant terminal, the escort terminal, the electronic signboard, and the waiting area management database (7).

[0089] In Fig. 8, the reservation certificate data acquisition means is shown in the same pattern as Fig. 4, but as mentioned above, the reservation certificate data acquisition means can have variations such as Fig. 5 (input to the masseuse terminal), Fig. 6 (reservation certificate camera), and Fig. 7 (reservation certificate reading by ticket issuing machine). Detailed illustrations are omitted.

[0090] (Fig. 9) The embodiment shown in Fig. 9 is slightly different from the embodiment shown in Fig. 8. That is, although the parking space management device does not have a parking space management database, it does have a data matching means. After acquiring reservation certificate data, it transmits it to a reservation server (1, 2, 3), and then receives reservation data linked to the reservation certificate data from the reservation server (6), and performs on-site data matching (7). Other points are the same as those in the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, so detailed description will be omitted.

[0091] (Figure 10) The embodiment shown in FIG. 10 shows how to handle a bus that has entered a parking lot equipped with the parking space management system according to the present invention without a reservation ticket. This applies to buses that simply forgot to carry their reservation certificate, but since there may be buses that enter the parking lot without making a reservation, this will be explained as an exception.

[0092] In FIG. 10, the description will be given assuming that an ETC on-board unit is mounted on a bus. When the vehicle enters a parking lot, the parking data receiving means receives information about the vehicle's entry through wireless communication with the ETC vehicle-mounted unit (a). The data on the time of entry is sent to the parking fee settlement means (b).

[0093] As will be explained again in FIG. 15, an entry support attendant is always present at the entrance to the parking lot to assist with entry. When this entry support attendant or the bus driver selects "general vehicle" for non-reserved vehicles at the ticket machine, the ticket machine issues a "parking ticket without a reservation certificate." When this "parking ticket without a reservation certificate" is issued, a notification to that effect is sent to the parking lot attendant terminal (b'). When the parking lot attendant terminal outputs a notification that a bus without a reservation has entered the parking lot, the parking lot attendant can recognize that a bus without a reservation certificate has entered the parking lot.

[0094] Once the passengers have boarded, the bus driver indicates his intention to leave the parking space where the bus was parked and to leave the parking lot. Specifically, he inserts a "parking ticket without reservation certificate" into the payment machine (d). The time of insertion and the aforementioned entry time are used to calculate the parking time, calculate the parking fee, and prompt the bus driver to pay (e). Once the payment is complete, the parking lot gate opens and the bus leaves. Once the bus has left the parking lot, the exit data transmission means sends a notification of completion of leaving to the parking space site database (f).

[0095] Since there is no reservation certificate, the reservation certificate data acquisition means cannot acquire the reservation certificate data, and it cannot be compared with the parking space site data, but when the bus without a reservation certificate enters the parking space and the fact that it has completed its exit is recorded in the parking space site database, this is transmitted to the parking space attendant terminal via the execution data transmission means (g, h). The fact that the bus has completed its exit may be transmitted to the parking space attendant terminal by the exit data transmission means (f'). When the bus attendant terminal outputs a message indicating that the bus has left the bus depot, the bus attendant can recognize that the bus without a reservation certificate has left the bus depot.

[0096] (Fig. 11) FIG. 11 shows an example of an output screen of the masseuse terminal. Specifically, the name of the tour to identify the bus vehicle to be depot, the time of arrival, the vehicle number, whether or not there is a reservation, and the scheduled time of departure are displayed in a list.

[0097] The masseuse attendant terminal is a tablet-type terminal that serves as a wireless communication terminal and realizes the following functions (means): That is, the system comprises a reservation data receiving means for receiving reservation data regarding the use of the parking space by a bus vehicle from a parking space management database; a reservation certificate data receiving means for receiving reservation certificate data related to a reservation certificate carried by a passenger vehicle that has entered the parking lot; a performance data receiving means for receiving parking space current status data indicating the current status of the parking space reflecting that the reservation data related to the match has been fulfilled by comparing the reservation certificate data and the reservation data received by the reservation certificate data receiving means; an exit data receiving means for receiving exit data indicating that the vehicle has left the parking lot; a priority data calculation means for determining the priority of data to be output on a screen based on the reservation data, reservation certificate data, parking space current status data and exit data; and a data output means for outputting the reservation data, reservation certificate data, performance data and exit data on a screen based on the priority determined by the priority data calculation means.

[0098] (Fig. 12) FIG. 12 shows an example of data printed on the reservation ticket. The top half shows the parking space reservation data, including the planned entry date and time, and the planned exit date and time. The lower half is left blank in this figure, but if a waiting area (for example, Kamogawa Nishi Ramp Office) is reserved, the reservation data for that waiting area is displayed.

[0099] (Fig. 13) FIG. 13 shows an example of data output to a digital signage. The scheduled arrival time, parking space number (boarding location number), and tour name are listed.

[0100] The figure also shows that the same data as the electronic signboard is displayed on the leader terminal. However, this does not mean that the same data must be output on the electronic signboard and the leader terminal. It is also possible to output information specific to the leader terminal, or to not output unnecessary information to the leader terminal.

[0101] (Fig. 14) Figure 14 shows an example of data output to a smartphone carried by the bus driver. Although detailed explanation and illustrations are omitted, only information that identifies the passengers that the bus driver is responsible for is displayed. The departure time when the bus should leave the bus waiting area, the tour number that is data for identifying the passengers, and the scheduled arrival time when the bus should enter the bus parking lot directly connected to the station are output as a list.

[0102] In order to output data for each bus driver in this way, it is assumed that the waiting area terminal obtains data from the parking space management database in the reservation server and inputs the bus driver's responsibilities (allocation).

[0103] (Fig. 15) FIG. 15 shows a flowchart illustrating the process from when a bus enters a parking lot to when it leaves the parking lot, and also illustrates auxiliary concepts.

[0104] A bus enters the parking lot (S10). When entering, it is determined whether or not the bus is equipped with an ETC on-board unit (S11). If it is, the parking lot entrance gate opens automatically, and then it is checked (by an entrance support attendant, an entrance camera, etc.) whether or not the bus is carrying a reservation certificate (S12). If the bus is carrying a reservation certificate, it is considered to be a "reserved vehicle" and goes to automatic settlement processing based on the entrance time data received by the ETC's entrance data receiving means (S13).

[0105] If the bus is not equipped with ETC, it will not carry a reservation slip. This is because, as a rule, vehicles that carry reservation slips are equipped with ETC. For buses that are equipped with ETC but do not carry a reservation ticket, and for buses that are not equipped with ETC, the entrance gate is opened by issuing a parking ticket for a "general vehicle" at the ticket issuing machine (S14). This is often assisted by an entrance support staff member in issuing the parking ticket. This is to prevent the bus driver from taking time to enter the parking lot because he is confused about the difference between a "general vehicle" and a "reserved vehicle."

[0106] Once passengers have boarded and the bus has departed (S15), and the parking fee has been paid (S16), the exit gate is opened and the bus can leave the parking lot (S17).

[0107] (Fig. 16) FIG. 16 is a flowchart detailing the parking fee settlement step shown in FIG. After the passengers have boarded, the bus departs (S15). It is determined whether or not the bus is a vehicle for which parking fees can be paid in advance through procedures such as advance payment (S151). This determination is made based on whether or not payment can be made using an onboard ETC device. If the bus is a vehicle for which advance payment can be made, the gate is opened (S154) and the bus can leave (S17).

[0108] If the vehicle is not eligible for advance payment (if the vehicle is not equipped with ETC), the issued parking ticket is inserted into the payment machine. When the ticket is inserted, it is calculated whether the parking time calculated from the entry time data written on the parking ticket and the time of departure is within the initial free time (S152). If it is determined to be within the free time, the gate is opened (S154) and the bus can leave (S17).

[0109] If it is not within the free time, the bus driver settles the parking fee (S153). Once the settlement is completed, the gate is opened (S154) and the bus can leave (S17).

[0110] According to the embodiments described above, a parking space management system that contributes to smooth boarding of passenger vehicles from a parking lot, as well as a space attendant terminal and an information system that operates it, have been provided. [Industrial Applicability]

[0111] The present invention has applicability in parking lot management businesses, travel businesses that use parking lots and buses, travel agencies that plan and manage trips, manufacturing and maintenance businesses that handle equipment necessary for parking lot management, and data service businesses that handle data related to parking lots.
