Definitions
- the present invention relates to a remote reservation method of a parking space. It also relates to a system implementing such a method and an installation implementing such a method or such a system.
- the field of the invention is the field of the remote reservation of a parking space as part of the automated rental of vehicles on one or more rental sites each comprising at least one parking space. It concerns in particular the automated rental of electric vehicles, which need to be recharged when they are parked, for example between two locations, so that the batteries of the vehicles are recharged for a new lease, being understood that a vehicle whose batteries are discharged can not be rented.
- Automated vehicle leasing is a growing field. Agglomerations wishing to reduce the number of vehicles on their territory are implementing automated vehicle rental systems.
- Bicycle rental facilities are currently known. These facilities include several rental sites scattered in a geographical area and allowing users to take a bike rental or deposit a bike at the end of rental in a fully automated manner. Thus, a user can take a bike rental on a first site, use it for the duration of the lease, and deposit it, at the end of the lease, on a second rental site different from the first rental site.
- Known rental sites include locations arranged to receive a vehicle when the latter is no longer rented. Each location is designed to receive a single vehicle. The reason for such a design is to ensure an automated rental individual vehicles offered for rental without human intervention. Thus, each rental site can receive more vehicles than parking spaces. Such a design is of greater importance when leased vehicles need to be recharged during parking, such as electric vehicles.
- An object of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a method and a system for remote reservation of parking spaces.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a method and a remote parking reservation system in the context of an automated rental of vehicles for better management of the automated rental of a vehicle.

- the invention proposes to achieve at least one of the aforementioned objects by a method of reserving a parking space for a vehicle in a remote site, said rental, as part of the rental automated vehicle system, said method comprising a so-called reservation phase comprising the following steps:
- a remote rental site said to be available, in which a parking space is available, issuing a reservation request for a parking space in said available rental site, said reservation request comprising a data item identification, called identifier,
- the method according to the invention makes it possible to reserve a parking space before arriving at a rental site in order to return a rented vehicle.
- the method of the invention allows the user to be sure to find a parking space on arrival at the rental site.
- the method according to the invention avoids a user having to search for an available parking site for a period of time that will be charged to him, which reduces the cost associated with the rental of the vehicle and the loss of time for the user.
- the method of the invention thus allows users to better manage the automated rental of vehicles, accompanying them until the end of the lease.
- “Available” rental site means a rental site with at least one "available” parking space, that is to say not occupied by another vehicle and not reserved.
- rental site By “reserved” rental site is meant the rental site where a parking space is reserved.
- the identifier may comprise an identifier associated with the user.
- the identifier associated with the user may be a user identifier or the identifier of a vehicle rented by the user. Preferably, it is an identifier specific to the user.
- Such an identifier may be provided to be read at each rental site, in particular by a rental terminal and / or charging station of the rental site, when the user is on the rental site.
- the identifier may preferably be registered in an RFID or bar code identification means.
- the identifier may alternatively or additionally comprise a code to be entered on an alphanumeric keyboard at the location of the rental site.
- the reservation request can be issued:
- a site remote from the available rental site and connected to said remote rental site, said central site preferably relaying said rental request to said available rental site.
- Such a central site makes it possible to centralize all booking requests and to direct each booking request to the rental site concerned.
- the reservation request can also be processed by the central site (storage and modification steps performed at the central site), the result of the reservation being transmitted to the rental site.
- the reservation phase may further comprise, after the storage step, a step of modifying a state of signaling means, in particular a light indicator, at the reserved parking space.
- a state of signaling means in particular a light indicator
- the indicator light may be arranged at the charging terminal.
- the method according to the invention may comprise alternatively or in addition, the locking of an access means to the loading means located inside the charging terminal, for example the locking of a hatch closing a locker in which are placed these loading means.
- the method according to the invention may further comprise alternatively or in addition, the modification of the position of an access control means to the parking location, such as a stud or a retractable barrier.
- an access control means such as a stud or a retractable barrier.
- the method according to the invention may further comprise a so-called restitution phase of a rented vehicle at said reserved parking space, said restitution phase comprising the following steps:
- - Identification by indicating an identifier, for example the identifier of the user or the vehicle, for example by reading from a reading means or by input on an alphanumeric keyboard.
- This step is preferably carried out on the rental site, for example on a rental terminal of the rental site;

- the available rental site can also be manually selected by the user, said method comprising the following steps:
- the reservation phase may further comprise a consultation of a database, preferably by a central management server disposed at a central site, of a database in which is stored an availability data for each site of rental, each rental site can be identified using an identifier previously assigned to each rental site.
- the reservation phase may include a step for the user to reserve a location. in one of the nearest sites.
- This proposal step can be carried out by presenting to the user the 8 closest sites, or, preferably, the sites having at least one available location among the 8 closest sites, the step of verifying the availability of these sites having been carried out beforehand for these 8 sites.
- Those sites closest to a predetermined site may preferably be directly associated with the chosen rental site in a database to avoid that a calculation step is performed for each reservation process.
- the verification step can also be performed before the actual choice step since the method according to the invention can propose to the user to view all the sites, preferably already positioned on a map, with information about the availability of locations in the site or only the available sites.
- the method according to the invention may further comprise a phase of updating the availability of each rental site, said update phase comprising for each of the rental sites, the following steps:
- this step may be carried out by presence detection means at each parking location and by consulting a database listing the reserved locations, this database may be local to each rental site or central location at a central site;

- FIGURE 2 is a diagrammatic representation in the form of a diagram of a remote reservation phase of a reservation location according to the invention.
- the reservation phase 200 is performed from the vehicle being leased.
- the reservation phase 200 includes a step 202 during which the user is questioned to determine the destination to which he wishes to go, and then, once the destination is entered, if he wishes to reserve a parking space on arrival.
- the site closest to the exact destination is identified in step 204.
- the coordinates of the destination are compared with the coordinates of the rental sites, previously filled.
- the closest rental site identified can be positioned on a map using for example a conventional GPS system, able to perform this kind of calculation.
- the vehicle calculates in particular the distance between each site of a set of preselected sites, for example the sites which have the coordinates close to those of the destination, and the destination defined by the user.
- Each site positioned on the map is, of course, associated with its identifier so that the vehicle can obtain the identifier of the nearest site.
- the vehicle interrogates, in step 206, a database, for example at the management site of the central site to find the number of places available in the closest site identified .
- the central server centralizes the data on the availability of locations in the sites rental facility, sent by the rental terminals of each site periodically; more precision will be given in the following description particularly with reference to Figure 4.
- the database of the central server includes an identifier of the site and the number of available places associated or a boolean data relating to the existence of available locations in the rental site. It could alternatively include a Boolean data by location and a location identifier, or even an identifier of the rental site.
- the management server can also send the availability data periodically to all vehicles. Following the interrogation request of the database by the vehicle, the central server sends the vehicle the availability data of the station.
- a step 208 determines the second closest rental site and step 206 is performed again, and so on until identification of a nearest rental site that has at least one available location.
- a step 210 queries the user to determine if he wishes to reserve a parking slot in the available rental site identified in step 206.
- a step 212 directs the user to the destination.
- step 210 If, at step 210, the user wishes to reserve a parking space in the nearest identified rental site, then the destination is changed and the new destination corresponds to the address of the identified available site.
- the determination steps of the nearest available rental site can also be performed simultaneously for all sites, or possibly all sites closest to the destination of the user.
- a reservation request is sent, at step 214, to the rental terminal of the nearest available rental site identified possibly via the management server of the central site.
- the reservation request message includes the user's identifier, and optionally an indication of the reservation duration.
- the reservation duration could be systematically a predetermined or determined duration at the management server or the rental terminal. The duration could also be chosen by the user or determined in function of different parameters relating to the distance separating the vehicle from the identified rental site, and to traffic conditions, etc.
- the management server When the management server receives the message, it checks in step 216, that the available location (s) have not been used since step 206.
- step 218 If there is no more free slot in the rental site identified an error message is sent to the vehicle, at step 218, and the steps are taken from step 208.
- the rental terminal modifies its signaling bright, for example by lighting a warning light at the top, to inform users that no place is available in this rental site.
- step 220 If there remains an available parking slot, in step 220, the status of the latter is changed to "reserved". Then the identifier of the user who made the reservation request is registered with the identifier of the location concerned by the reservation.
- a message is sent to the rental terminal to notify it that the location is busy and to control via it the charging terminal associated with the location to display a particular light indication, for example by lighting an LED or by changing the color of a warning light and signaling to other users the unavailability of the location.
- Step 222 can also perform other measures such as controlling the positioning of a retractable block preventing parking.
- step 224 the management server triggers a timer associated with the "reserved" status having for duration, the reservation duration filled in and then sends a confirmation message of the reservation.
- This message can indicate the time at which the timer was triggered and / or the end time of the timer.
- a step 226 then guides the user to the reserved rental site.
- FIG. 3 is a schematic representation in the form of a diagram of a management phase of a reserved parking space, in particular in the case where the user can not go to the reserved rental site during the duration of the reservation.
- the reservation phase 200 of FIG. 1 can be completed by the management phase 300 of FIG. 3.
- the user is guided to the reserved rental site.
- the remaining trip time to the reserved site is calculated and updated, for example by a geolocation system.
- step 304 the remaining journey time is compared with the remaining reservation time.
- Step 304 is repeated one minute later.
- step 304 If in step 304, the remaining trip time is greater than the remaining reservation time a warning is sent to the user at step 306, for example using a tone, for the to call to call an operator for example.
- a step 308 then compares the remaining reservation time with a threshold duration of, for example, 5 minutes.
- a step 310 compares the remaining travel time with the remaining reservation time + a predetermined security duration, for example 15 minutes. If the remaining journey time is greater, it will be considered that the probability is too low for the user to visit the rental site booked during the remaining booking period. A cancellation message is sent to the user and the reservation is canceled in step 312. The reserved slot is then available again. Otherwise, step 304 is performed again.
- a step 314 compares the remaining distance to the reserved site at a threshold distance, for example 2km.
- the rental terminal changes the status of the place to "available" and deletes the user's identifier so that it is not more associated with this site.
- FIGURE 4 is a schematic representation in the form of a diagram of a phase of updating the availability data for the rental sites according to the invention.
- the update data update phase 400 shown in FIG. 4 firstly comprises a data collection step 402 performed by the rental terminal BL of each rental site. This terminal determines for each parking location of each of the rental sites, which is occupied. Step 402 is therefore performed for each of the locations of the rental site, either simultaneously or one after the other.
- This step 402 comprises:
- a step 404 in which the rental terminal interrogates a presence sensor assigned to a parking space, for example a current loop located on the track, under the parking space or else a detection sensor, such as a camera or infrared sensor, located for example on the charging terminal assigned to the parking space.
- the status of the slot can also be determined by detecting the connection of a vehicle to the charging means of the charging station assigned to the slot. This type of detection, however, does not detect vehicles parked illegally in the location, unlike detection using a presence sensor. It is also possible to interrogate both types of sensors simultaneously;
- a step 406 during which a database is queried to determine whether a free slot is reserved or not;
- step 408 during which the number of available slots is counted. This number corresponds to the availability data for the site i.
- step 410 After step 402, performed for each of the parking locations of the rental site, a step 410 performs a comparison of the determined availability data with that previously determined.
- step 202 is performed again, a minute later.
- the new availability data is communicated to the central site, and more particularly to the central management server, during a step 412.
- Steps 402-412 are performed for each of the rental sites in parallel either at the same time or in a staggered manner.
- the management server stores the received data in a database, for example the database 138 of FIG. 1.
- a database for example the database 138 of FIG. 1.
- Each availability data for a rental site is recorded in the database, for example in association with an identifier of the rental site concerned.
- the storage is carried out as and when the availability data is received from the various rental sites.
- the management server makes a comparison between the data previously sent to the vehicles and the new availability data.
- step 414 is renewed, for example 1 minute later.
- the central management server sends, in one and the same consignment, the availability data for all the rental sites, to each of the vehicles of the park, namely to the rented vehicles and possibly to the vehicles that are not rented.
- This data is then displayed in the vehicles in step 420 if the user wishes.
- step 414 is performed again after 1 minute.
- the vehicle display interface updates the availability data display for the rental sites affected by the change, the display remaining unchanged for the other rental sites.
- the sending of data to vehicles is done through a wireless network such as a wireless telephone network (GPRS or 3G in particular).
- a wireless network such as a wireless telephone network (GPRS or 3G in particular).
- the reservation database is stored in the management server.
- each rental site 104 sends to the management server the data on the occupation of the various locations determined in step 202, following this step.
- the steps 404, 406 for consulting the reservation database and for determining the state of each of the locations, then the availability data are then performed by the management server.
- the vehicle including its user interface, has a GPS and stores in its memory the maps of the rental area. It also has GPS coordinates of rental sites, also associated with their identifier, which allows to place them correctly on the map. It is also configured to integrate the transmitted availability data into the map. Each availability data is displayed on the map in relation to the representation of the corresponding site, particularly in the vicinity of the location of the site on the map. These cards are displayed on the user interface to allow the user to access them. It should be noted that this data may only be displayed if the vehicle is in operation, and in particular if the user wishes to display them, in particular as part of the GPS function.
- the availability data received at the vehicle level can be stored in a memory at the vehicle level, especially at the user interface.
- the availability data can also be downloaded in real time and, if necessary, via the user interface from the central management server.
- FIGURE 5 is a diagrammatic representation in the form of a diagram of a restitution phase of a vehicle according to the invention.
- the restitution phase 500 comprises a step 502 of identifying the user either by reading an identifier from an identification means or by entering a code by an alphanumeric keyboard.
- the identification data input during step 502 is sent to the management server in step 504.
- step 506 the identification data is compared with the stored identification data of the users having reserved a parking space on this rental site.
- the restitution phase is stopped during step 508 and the user is informed thereof.
- the location identifier is transmitted by the management server to the rental terminal during step 510.
- the parking location is indicated to the user in step 512, for example by varying a light indicator or indicating the slot number.
- the user then comes to the indicated parking location, and may possibly identify again for example at the location of the charging station.
- a predetermined duration may be granted to the user to perform this operation.
- step 514 the rental terminal or the charging terminal realizes an unlocking:
- a means of access to the location for example a retractable stud which is placed in the low position to allow access to the space reserved for the returned vehicle, and / or
- An access means for example a cover for access to a housing, to electric charging means, such as for example a cable and / or an electrical socket in the housing.
- step 516 once the user has successfully completed all vehicle restitution operations and terminated the rental, the signage of the parking space is changed from “reserved” to "occupied”. ".
