Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] In a parking lot having a chargeable parking space equipped with a charge / discharge device capable of charging and discharging an in-vehicle battery, it is necessary to cooperate with the power demand in a facility that exchanges power with the parking lot. That is, it is necessary to adjust the parking timing of vehicles parked in the chargeable parking space according to the timing of power supply and demand between the parking lot and the facility that exchanges power.
[0005] The main object of the parking reservation management device of the present disclosure is to make the parking timing of vehicles parked in the chargeable parking spaces of the parking lot more appropriate.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0006] The parking reservation management device of this disclosure employs the following means to achieve the main objective described above.
[0007] The parking reservation management device of this disclosure is A parking reservation management device for a parking lot that is capable of communicating via a communication network, has charging and discharging devices installed for charging and discharging batteries mounted on vehicles in at least a portion of all parking spaces, and is capable of exchanging power with a predetermined facility, If the discrepancy between the facility's requested power adjustment period based on the power demand at the designated facility and the vehicle's power adjustment period obtained based on user-side information regarding the use of the parking lot entered by the user is outside a predetermined range, the system will send a notification to the user indicating whether or not they can change their user-side information. It is characterized by the following:
[0008] The parking reservation management device of this disclosure manages reservations for parking lots that have a charging / discharging device installed for charging and discharging the battery mounted on the vehicle, and that are capable of exchanging power with a predetermined facility. When a parking lot is reserved, if the discrepancy between the facility's desired power adjustment period based on the power demand at the predetermined facility and the vehicle's power adjustment period obtained based on user-side information regarding parking lot usage entered by the user is outside a predetermined range, the device sends a notification to the user indicating whether or not they can change their user-side information. This promotes a change in the discrepancy between the facility's desired power adjustment period and the vehicle's power adjustment period so that it falls within the predetermined range. As a result of this promotion, the parking timing of vehicles parked in the charging / discharging parking spaces of the parking lot can be made more appropriate.
[0009] In the parking reservation management device of this disclosure, if the user changes the discrepancy between the facility-side power adjustment desired period and the vehicle-side power adjustment available period so that it falls within the predetermined range, the user may be given a first incentive. This would encourage the user to change the vehicle-side information so that the discrepancy with the facility-side power adjustment desired period falls within the predetermined range. In this case, if the user does not change the discrepancy between the facility-side power adjustment desired period and the vehicle-side power adjustment available period so that it falls within the predetermined range, the user may be given a second incentive. The second incentive may be the same as the first incentive, but it is preferable that it be less effective than the first incentive.
[0010] In the parking reservation management device of this disclosure, a third incentive may be provided when the discrepancy between the facility-side power adjustment request period and the vehicle-side power adjustment period falls within the predetermined range. The third incentive may be the same as the first or second incentive, but it is preferable that it has an effect intermediate between the first and second incentives.
[0011] In the parking reservation management device of this disclosure, the user-side information may include the scheduled date and time of vehicle entry into the parking lot and the scheduled date and time of vehicle exit, and the vehicle-side power adjustment period may be calculated based on the scheduled entry date and time and the scheduled exit date and time. In this way, the discrepancy between the facility-side power adjustment request period and the vehicle-side power adjustment period can be calculated more appropriately.
[0012] In the parking reservation management device of this disclosure, the parking lot is located adjacent to an airport, the user information includes information about the flight the user will be using, and the vehicle power adjustment period may be calculated based on the flight information. This allows for a more accurate calculation of the vehicle power adjustment period.
[0013] In the parking reservation management device of this disclosure, the parking lot is located adjacent to an airport, and the parking reservation management device is integrated into the flight reservation system at the airport. The system may also accept parking reservations when accepting flight reservations. This allows parking reservations to be accepted at the same time as flight reservations, reducing the inconvenience for users compared to accepting reservations individually. [Brief explanation of the drawing]
[0014] [Figure 1] This diagram shows a schematic configuration of a parking reservation system 10 including a parking reservation management device 20 as one embodiment of the present disclosure. [Figure 2] This diagram shows a schematic configuration of an electric vehicle 120 that can utilize the charging and discharging parking spaces 36 of the parking lot 30. [Figure 3] This flowchart shows an example of a parking reservation process performed by the parking reservation management unit 24 and the parking usage application 230. [Figure 4] This is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of a modified parking reservation system 10B. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0015] Next, embodiments for implementing this disclosure will be described. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of a parking reservation system 10 including a parking reservation management device 20 as one embodiment of this disclosure. The parking reservation system 10 comprises a wired or wireless communication network 12, a parking reservation management device 20 connected to this communication network 12, and a user terminal 220 connected to the communication network 12.
[0016] The parking reservation management device 20 is a device that accepts parking reservations for parking spaces in a parking lot 30 attached to a designated facility (e.g., an airport) 60, and is composed of, for example, a microcomputer. The parking reservation management device 20 includes a communication device 22 for communicating with a communication network 12, and a parking reservation management unit 24 that accepts and manages parking reservations. The parking reservation management unit 24 is a functional block in which hardware and application software function as an integrated unit.
[0017] The parking lot 30 includes multiple rechargeable parking spaces 32 equipped with charging devices 34 capable of charging only the batteries mounted on vehicles, multiple rechargeable parking spaces 36 equipped with charge / discharge devices 38 capable of charging and discharging the batteries mounted on vehicles, and multiple general parking spaces (not shown) that are not equipped with charging devices 34 or charge / discharge devices 38. Each parking space is assigned parking space information including an identification number, type, and location, which is stored in the parking reservation management unit 24 of the parking reservation management device 20.
[0018] Each charging device 34 installed in multiple rechargeable parking spaces 32 is connected to another power source 50 via a power management system 40 through a power line, enabling it to charge batteries installed in vehicles parked in the rechargeable parking spaces 32 using power from the other power source 50. Each charging / discharging device 38 installed in multiple rechargeable parking spaces 36 is connected to another power source 50 or a designated facility 60 via a power management system 40 through a power line, enabling it to charge batteries installed in vehicles parked in the rechargeable parking spaces 36 using power from the other power source 50, or to supply power from batteries to the designated facility 60.
[0019] The power management system 40 manages the charging of the battery mounted on a parked vehicle by supplying power from another power source 50 to the charging device 34 of the chargeable parking space 32 or the charging / discharging device 38 of the chargeable / dischargeable parking space 36, manages the supply of power from another power source 50 to a predetermined facility 60, and manages the supply of power from the charging / discharging device 38 of the chargeable / dischargeable parking space 36 to a predetermined facility 60, etc.
[0020] Another power source 50 is assumed to include, for example, a commercial power source and at least a part of a solar power generation power source, a wind power generation power source, a tidal power generation power source, a geothermal power generation power source, etc.
[0021] The user terminal 220 is configured as, for example, a formable communication terminal, and a parking lot use application 230 available in the parking lot reservation system 10 is installed.
[0022] Examples of vehicles that can use the chargeable / dischargeable parking space 36 of the parking lot 30 include, for example, the electric vehicle 120 illustrated in FIG. 2. The electric vehicle 120 includes a motor 122, an inverter 123, a battery 124, a charge / discharge circuit 138, a connector 139, and an electronic control unit 130.
[0023] The motor 122 is configured as, for example, a synchronous generator motor, and its rotor is connected to a drive shaft 125 connected to drive wheels 128a, 128b via a differential gear 126. The motor 122 is driven by converting the DC power from the battery 124 into three-phase AC power by the inverter 123 and applying it. The battery 124 is configured as a well-known lithium-ion secondary battery or nickel-metal hydride secondary battery.
[0024] The charge / discharge circuit 138 is connected to a power line whose one end is connected to the battery 124, and the other end is connected to a connector 139 for connecting to the charge / discharge device 38. The charge / discharge circuit 138 has a charge / discharge relay (not shown), and can connect to and disconnect from the battery 124 by the charge / discharge relay.
[0025] The electronic control unit 130, although not shown in the diagram, is configured as a microcomputer centered around a CPU. Signals from various sensors are input to the electronic control unit 130 via input ports. Examples of signals input to the electronic control unit 130 via input ports include the ignition signal from the ignition switch 142, the shift position SP from the shift position sensor 144 which detects the position of the shift lever 143, the accelerator opening Acc from the accelerator pedal position sensor 146 which detects the amount the accelerator pedal 145 is pressed, the brake position BP from the brake pedal position sensor 148 which detects the amount the brake pedal 147 is pressed, and the vehicle speed V from the vehicle speed sensor 149. Other examples include the rotational position θ from a rotational position sensor (not shown) that detects the rotational position of the motor 122, the battery voltage Vb from a voltage sensor (not shown) attached to the output terminal of the battery 124, the battery current Ib from a current sensor (not shown) attached to the output terminal of the battery 124, the charge / discharge voltage Vchg from a voltage sensor attached to the charge / discharge circuit 138, and the charge / discharge current Ichg from a current sensor attached to the charge / discharge circuit 138.
[0026] Various control signals are output from the electronic control unit 130 via its output ports. Examples of control signals output from the electronic control unit 130 via its output ports include display control signals to the display device 150, communication control signals to the communication device 152, and air conditioning control signals to the air conditioning device 154. Other examples include switching control signals for switching a switching element (not shown) to the inverter 123 for driving the motor 122, drive control signals for a system main relay (not shown) mounted near the battery 124, and drive control signals for a charge / discharge relay (not shown) mounted on the charge / discharge circuit 138. The electronic control unit 130 communicates with the navigation system 156, which displays various information and provides route guidance. A signal line 140 for communicating with the charge / discharge device 38 is connected to the electronic control unit 130 via a connector 139 when the charge / discharge device 38 is connected to it.
[0027] Next, the operation of the parking reservation system 10 of the embodiment, particularly the operation when making a parking reservation, will be described. Figure 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the parking reservation process executed by the parking reservation management unit 24 of the parking reservation management device 20 and the parking use application 230 of the user terminal 220 when making a parking reservation.
[0028] The parking reservation process begins by entering the necessary information into a parking reservation form, which is launched using the parking application 230 installed on the user terminal 220, and sending it to the parking reservation management device 20 (step S100). The information to be entered into the parking reservation form may include the user's name, address, planned date and time of entry into the parking lot, planned date and time of exit from the parking lot, type of vehicle, whether the vehicle's onboard battery is capable of charging and discharging, whether the onboard battery needs to be charged before exit, and whether the use of the onboard battery as a VPP (Virtual Power Plant) while parked is permitted.
[0029] The parking reservation management device 20, in response to input from the user terminal 220 into the parking reservation form, sends a control signal to the user terminal 220 that confirms the vehicle is capable of charging and discharging its onboard battery and that permission for use with the VPP has been granted, and that permission for use with the VPP has been granted (step S200). For example, the confirmation message may be, "This vehicle is capable of using the Virtual Power Plant (VPP). Please confirm permission for use with the VPP." In response to this confirmation message, the user replies with a confirmation such as "yes" or "no" from the user terminal 220 (step S110).
[0030] The parking reservation management device 20 determines whether the confirmation reply from the user terminal 220 confirms that the vehicle is a rechargeable vehicle that can be used for VPP (step S210), and whether it confirms that the use of the parked vehicle's battery for VPP is permitted (step S220). If it determines that neither confirmation has been obtained, it assigns the vehicle related to the parking reservation to a parking space other than the rechargeable parking space 36 (such as the rechargeable parking space 32 or a general parking space), and sends a control signal to the user terminal 220 to display information such as the identification number and location of the assigned parking space in addition to the information entered in the parking reservation form (step S230).
[0031] On the other hand, if it is determined that confirmation has been obtained for both steps S210 and S220, the parking reservation management device 20 inputs the desired power adjustment period for the designated facility 60 from the power management system 40 (step S240). The desired power adjustment period for the designated facility 60 is determined by the power management system 40 based on the power demand of the designated facility 60, taking into account the times and periods when the power supplied from other power sources 50 is insufficient to meet the power needs of the designated facility 60, and the times and periods when the power supplied from other power sources 50 excessively exceeds the power needs of the designated facility 60, and when it is determined that charging and discharging of the battery installed in the vehicle parked in the chargeable parking space 36 is necessary. Next, it is determined whether the discrepancy between the parking period based on the scheduled entry date and time and the scheduled exit date and time and the desired power adjustment period for the designated facility 60 is outside a predetermined range (step S240). In other words, it determines whether the start date of the parking period (scheduled entry date and time) falls within a predetermined range of the start date of the desired power adjustment period, and whether the end date of the parking period (scheduled exit date and time) falls within a predetermined range of the end date of the desired power adjustment period. For example, 30 minutes or 1 hour can be used as the predetermined range. Note that the predetermined range for the start date of the parking period and the predetermined range for the end date of the parking period may be different ranges or the same range. Whether or not a verification process is performed may be determined based on whether or not they match.
[0032] In step S250, if it is determined that the discrepancy between the parking period and the desired power adjustment period for the designated facility 60 is within a predetermined range, the vehicle related to the parking reservation is assigned to a charge / discharge parking space 36 with a second benefit (second incentive), and a control signal is sent to the user terminal 220 to display information such as the identification number and location of the assigned charge / discharge parking space 36 in addition to the information entered in the parking reservation form (step S280). The second benefit (second incentive) may include a benefit that ensures the battery charge amount at the scheduled departure date and time is 2 predetermined amounts more than at the time of entry, a benefit that discounts the charging fee while parked, a benefit that assigns a charge / discharge parking space 36 that is conveniently located for accessing the designated facility 60 from among multiple charge / discharge parking spaces 36, or a benefit that provides gift certificates that can be used at the designated facility 60.
[0033] If, in step S250, the parking reservation management device 20 determines that the discrepancy between the parking period and the desired power adjustment period for the designated facility 60 is outside a predetermined range, it transmits a control signal to the user terminal 220 requesting a change to the parking period, along with the scheduled entry date and time and scheduled exit date and time of the parking reservation (step S260). For example, the request for a change to the parking period could be "If you could make your scheduled entry date and time about an hour earlier, we will give you a special benefit, would that be possible?" or "If you could make your scheduled exit date and time about an hour later, we will give you a special benefit, would that be possible?". In response to this request, the user terminal 220 transmits input information with the changed scheduled entry date and time or scheduled exit date and time, or an indication that the change is not possible (step S120). In response to the transmission from the user terminal 220, the parking reservation management device 20 determines whether the input from the user terminal 220 is a change to the scheduled entry date and time or scheduled exit date and time that brings the discrepancy between the parking period and the desired power adjustment period within a predetermined range, or whether the change is not possible (step S270). When it is determined that the input from the user terminal 220 indicates a change in the planned entry date and time or planned exit date and time within a predetermined range between the parking period and the desired power adjustment period, the system grants the first benefit (first incentive) and assigns the user to a chargeable parking space 36. It also sends a control signal to the user terminal 220 to display information such as the identification number and location of the assigned chargeable parking space 36, in addition to the information entered in the parking reservation form (step S290). The first benefit (first incentive) is preferably one that is more advantageous to the user than the second benefit (second incentive). Examples of benefits that can be used include ensuring that the battery charge amount at the planned exit date and time is greater than the amount at entry by a first predetermined amount of power (an amount of power equal to or greater than the second predetermined amount of power), assigning the user to a chargeable parking space 36 that offers more convenient access to the designated facility 60 from among multiple chargeable parking spaces 36, or granting a gift certificate that can be used at the designated facility 60.
[0034] On the other hand, if it is determined in step S270 that the parking period cannot be changed, the parking reservation management device 20 assigns a second benefit (second incentive) to the charging / discharging parking space 36, similar to when it is determined that the discrepancy between the parking period and the desired power adjustment period for the designated facility 60 is within a predetermined range, and transmits a control signal to the user terminal 220 to display information such as the identification number and location of the assigned charging / discharging parking space 36 in addition to the information entered in the parking reservation form (step S280).
[0035] The user sends a confirmation in response to the display on the user terminal 220 (step S130). Upon receiving the confirmation, the parking reservation management device 20 sends a control signal indicating that the parking reservation has been confirmed (step S300) and terminates its parking reservation processing. Meanwhile, the user terminal 220 displays a message indicating that the parking reservation has been confirmed by the parking reservation management device 20 (step S140) and terminates its parking reservation processing.
[0036] In the parking reservation management device 20 of the embodiment described above, if the discrepancy between the parking period, based on the planned entry date and time and planned exit date and time entered by the user, and the desired power adjustment period of the designated facility 60 is outside a predetermined range, a notification is sent to the user terminal 220 indicating whether or not the user can change the planned entry date and time or planned exit date and time so that the discrepancy between the parking period and the desired power adjustment period falls within the predetermined range. This encourages users to change the parking period so that the discrepancy between the parking period and the desired power adjustment period falls within the predetermined range. As a result of this encouragement, the parking timing of vehicles parked in the charge / dischargeable parking spaces 36 of the parking lot 30 can be made more appropriate. Furthermore, users who change their planned entry date and time or planned exit date and time so that the discrepancy between the parking period and the desired power adjustment period falls within the predetermined range are given the first benefit (first incentive) and assigned to the charge / dischargeable parking space 36, thus further encouraging users to change the parking period so that the discrepancy between the parking period and the desired power adjustment period falls within the predetermined range.
[0037] In the parking reservation management device 20 of this embodiment, when a parking reservation is made, a confirmation process is performed to confirm that the vehicle to be parked is capable of charging and discharging its battery using the charging / discharging device 38, and that it is permissible to charge and discharge the battery using the charging / discharging device 38 while parked. Vehicles that have been confirmed through this confirmation process are then assigned a charging / discharging parking space 36 with either the first benefit (first incentive) or the second benefit (second incentive). This promotes cooperation with the VPP and enables more effective exchange of power with the designated facility 60.
[0038] In the parking reservation management device 20 of this embodiment, even if it is determined in step S250 that the discrepancy between the parking period and the desired power adjustment period of the designated facility 60 is within a predetermined range, or if it is determined in step S270 that the parking period cannot be changed, a second benefit (second incentive) is granted in both cases to allocate a charging / discharging parking space 36. However, if it is determined in step S250 that the discrepancy between the parking period and the desired power adjustment period of the designated facility 60 is within a predetermined range, a third benefit (third incentive) different from the second benefit (second incentive) may be granted to allocate a charging / discharging parking space 36. In this case, it is preferable that the third benefit (third incentive) has an effect intermediate between the first benefit (first incentive) and the second benefit (second incentive).
[0039] In the parking reservation management device 20 of this embodiment, the parking reservation form is used to input whether or not the vehicle is capable of charging and discharging its onboard battery, and whether or not the onboard battery is permitted to be used as a VPP while parked. The confirmation process then verifies that the vehicle is capable of charging and discharging its onboard battery and confirms permission for its use as a VPP. However, the parking reservation form may not include input fields for whether or not the vehicle is capable of charging and discharging its onboard battery, or whether or not the onboard battery is permitted to be used as a VPP while parked. Instead, the confirmation process may verify that the vehicle is capable of charging and discharging its onboard battery and confirm permission for its use as a VPP.
[0040] In the embodiment, the parking reservation management device 20 determines the parking period based on the scheduled entry date and time and scheduled exit date and time entered in the parking reservation form on the user terminal 220. However, if the designated facility 60 is an airport, the user may be required to enter flight information such as the departure date and time of the departing flight and the arrival date and time of the arriving flight into the parking reservation form, and the parking period may be determined based on the flight information. In this case, for example, the parking period may be determined to start from 3 hours before the departure date and time of the departing flight and 2 hours after the arrival date and time of the arriving flight.
[0041] Furthermore, if the designated facility 60 is an airport, parking reservations may be made at the time of flight reservations. In this case, as shown in the parking reservation system 10B illustrated in Figure 4, the flight reservation management device 14 may include a flight reservation management unit 16 as a functional block for making flight reservations, a parking reservation management unit 24B as a functional block for making parking reservations, and a communication device 18. In this flight reservation management device 14, the flight reservation management unit 16 first makes the flight reservation, and then the parking reservation management unit 24b makes the parking reservation. When making a parking reservation, it is preferable that the planned entry date and time and planned exit date and time are automatically entered from the flight information. In this way, since parking reservations are accepted at the time of flight reservations, the inconvenience for users regarding reservations can be reduced compared to when reservations are accepted individually.
[0042] In the parking reservation management device 20 of this embodiment, an electric vehicle 120 that drives a motor 122 using power from a battery 124 is assumed to be a vehicle that can utilize the rechargeable parking space 36 of the parking lot 30. However, any vehicle equipped with a rechargeable battery is acceptable, so various configurations of vehicles such as hybrid vehicles equipped with an engine, motor and battery, or fuel cell vehicles equipped with a fuel cell and battery, may also be used.
[0043] In the embodiment of the parking reservation system 10, the system consists of a communication network 12, a parking reservation management device 20, and a user terminal 220. However, the user terminal 220 may be an in-vehicle unit consisting of an electronic control unit 30, a display device 150, and a communication device 152 of an electric vehicle 120. In this case, the parking reservation form may have information such as the user's name, address, planned date and time of entry into the parking lot, planned date and time of exit from the parking lot, type of vehicle, and whether or not the vehicle is capable of charging and discharging its onboard battery pre-filled. Alternatively, the user terminal 220 may be a computer connected to the Web.
[0044] In the parking reservation system 10 of this embodiment, the designated facility 60 is assumed to be an airport, but the designated facility 60 may also be a large leisure facility with a hotel, a shopping center, a train station, a port, etc.
[0045] The correspondence between the main elements of the embodiment and the main elements of the invention described in the section on the main elements of the embodiment and the means for solving the problem will be explained. In the embodiment, the communication network 12 corresponds to "communication network", the electric vehicle 120 corresponds to "vehicle", the battery 124 corresponds to "battery", the charging device 34 corresponds to "charging device", the rechargeable parking space 32 corresponds to "rechargeable parking space", the charge / discharge device 38 corresponds to "charge / discharge device", the rechargeable parking space 36 corresponds to "rechargeable parking space", the designated facility 60 corresponds to "designated facility", the parking lot 30 corresponds to "parking lot", and the parking reservation management device 20 corresponds to "parking reservation management device".
[0046] Furthermore, the correspondence between the main elements of the embodiment and the main elements of the invention described in the section on means for solving the problem is merely an example to specifically explain the form in which the embodiment implements the invention described in the section on means for solving the problem, and does not limit the elements of the invention described in the section on means for solving the problem. In other words, the interpretation of the invention described in the section on means for solving the problem should be based on the description in that section, and the embodiment is merely one specific example of the invention described in the section on means for solving the problem.
[0047] Although the present disclosure has been described above using embodiments, the present disclosure is not limited in any way to these embodiments, and can of course be implemented in various forms without departing from the gist of the present disclosure. [Industrial applicability]
