Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an unmanned parking facility for pre-reserving and securing a parking space in an unmanned parking lot and eliminating wasted time for searching for a parking space, and a parking space reservation method using the same.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a parking lot where a user is unspecified, a parking space reservation system has not been generally adopted.
Therefore, for example, in a self-propelled large parking lot, there are cases where the user keeps traveling in the parking lot to find an empty parking space, and nevertheless, as a result, no empty parking space can be found. For this reason, for busy businessmen, etc., or especially in parking lots adjacent to train stations and airfields, in order to catch up with scheduled trains and aircraft,
There is a case where a user strongly desires to reserve and secure a parking space in advance and eliminate wasted time for searching for a parking space.

[0003]

In the case of a mechanical parking system having a manager or an operator, such a demand can be met relatively easily. That is, by securing a specific storage unit of the mechanical parking device and controlling the transport device of the vehicle, the vehicle can be stored in the storage unit. Therefore, by pre-empting the storage unit by reservation and storing the reserved specific vehicle, it is possible to eliminate wasted time for searching for a parking space.

[0004] When a reservation for a parking space is accepted in a small self-propelled parking lot where a manager is present, a manager or a clerk goes to the place and places a bill showing "reservation" on the parking lot. Standing in the space, the use of other vehicles is prohibited, waiting for the arrival of the reservation person, confirming the reservation person, removing the bill of the parking space, and the reservation person parking at that place. Therefore, even in a small self-propelled parking lot having a manager, a parking space reservation system can be adopted.

[0005] However, in a large self-propelled parking lot, even if there is a manager, if a reservation system is adopted in order to reciprocate a clerk to the parking space, install / remove a bill, and confirm a registrant, etc. There was a problem that the amount of work became too large. Also, particularly in an unmanned parking lot, vehicles can freely park in empty parking spaces, so that it is not possible to prevent other vehicles from parking in the reserved parking space, and it is difficult to confirm the reservation person. .

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems. That is, an object of the present invention is to allow a user to reserve and secure a parking space at the request of a user in a self-propelled parking lot where the user is unspecified, and to provide an unmanned person other than the reservation person without the attendant. It is an object of the present invention to provide an unmanned parking facility that reliably prevents use and can be used only by a reservation person, and a parking space reservation method using the same.
