Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a parking lot management system devised to read and recognize a vehicle number (number plate) when entering and leaving a vehicle to and from a parking lot, and to manage entry and exit based on the recognized vehicle number. It is.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-297900 reads a vehicle number when a vehicle enters and exits a regular vehicle such as a monthly pole, and permits entry / exit of the vehicle if the vehicle number matches a pre-registered vehicle number. There is a description about the parking system.
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-186888 describes a storage control device in a parking lot configured to manage the entrance / exit of a parking lot using a commuter pass.
Furthermore, JP 2000-182147 records the vehicle number imaged at the time of entry for the parking ticket, stores the parking ticket number and the vehicle number in correspondence with each other, and reads the vehicle number at the exit port. There is a description about a parking lot entrance / exit management device configured to permit the delivery if the payment of the corresponding parking ticket number has been completed.
[0003]
According to the devices described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 9-297900 and 2000-182147, it is possible to accurately manage the loading / unloading of the vehicle by reading the vehicle number. When two vehicles come in front and back, the case where the vehicle number of the rear vehicle cannot be read may occur, and the rear vehicle may enter and leave the parking lot. There was a problem that could not be troubled.
[0004]
Therefore, by using the method described in the above-mentioned JP-A-58-186888, that is, by using a commuter pass together, even if the vehicle number cannot be read, a backup means that allows the vehicle to be stored by inserting the commuter pass is provided. The system to take was considered.
According to the system that uses this commuter pass together, it is possible to overcome the problem of unloading and unloading caused by the inability to read the vehicle number, which is a weak point of the unmanned management system.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the parking lot that uses both the reading of the vehicle number and the commuter pass, there has been a problem that illegal use of the parking lot that misuses the commuter pass has occurred.
In other words, regular vehicles other than regular vehicles that have a regular contract will not be registered because they are not registered as numbers, but even in such cases, it is a kind of reading defect (unconfirmed) at the warehousing port. If you borrow another person's commuter pass, you can store the vehicle as a commuter vehicle.Therefore, it is possible to illegally and freely store general vehicles other than commuter vehicles by using the commuter pass. there were.
[0006]
Therefore, the technical problem of the present invention is that in the parking lot management system that manages the entry and exit to the parking lot by using both the reading of the vehicle number and the commuter pass, the illegal entry to the parking lot by the use of the commuter pass is repeated. It is to prevent the issue.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Means taken in the present invention to solve the above technical problems are as follows.

(1) Recognize the vehicle number of the entering vehicle at the parking lot entrance, and if the recognized vehicle number matches the registered vehicle number registered in advance, allow entry and do not match the registered vehicle number? Alternatively, if the parking lot management system is configured to allow warehousing if the commuter pass used is a pre-registered commuter pass, the process proceeds to warehousing processing using a commuter pass if it cannot be recognized. When the registered vehicle number matches the registered vehicle number and entry is permitted, the recognized vehicle number is distributed to the processing unit on the exit side as matching data for vehicle number verification at the time of exit. If entry with a commuter pass is permitted, the registered vehicle number specified from the ID of the commuter pass is used to match the vehicle number at the time of delivery. It shall be configured so that it is distributed as data to the processing section on the delivery side. (Claim 1)
[0009]
(2) When the vehicle number recognized at the warehousing port does not match or cannot be recognized with the registered vehicle number registered in advance, a parking ticket is issued, and the recognized vehicle number and parking ticket information are It is configured to be distributed to the processing unit on the exit side as matching data for vehicle verification at the time of exit. (Claim 2)
[0010]
(3) If the vehicle number recognized at the exit exit matches the matching data for vehicle number verification at the exit exit, the exit is permitted, and if it does not match, the exit using the commuter pass or parking ticket Configure to transition to processing. (Claim 3)
[0011]
(4) OK mark and NG mark are stored, or OK and NG symbol display or voice output is performed depending on whether or not the vehicle number is matched at the time of entering and leaving, respectively. If both the warehousing and the leaving are NG, it should be configured to prevent the vehicle from leaving or to take a delivery stop action such as issuing an alarm. (Claim 4)
[0012]
(5) Recognize the vehicle number of the arriving vehicle at the parking entrance, and if the recognized vehicle number matches the registered vehicle number registered in advance, allow the warehousing and does not match the registered vehicle number Or, if it cannot be recognized, it is a parking lot management system that shifts to warehousing processing by commuter pass and allows warehousing if the used commuter pass is a pre-registered commuter pass. A central processing unit equipped with a database registration means for registering the vehicle number of a scheduled vehicle, and an entrance for matching the vehicle number recognized at the parking lot entrance with the registered vehicle number of the regular vehicle The matching processing unit and the vehicle number recognized at the exit are used to match the vehicle number of the outgoing vehicle with the registered vehicle number. When the vehicle number recognized at the time of warehousing matches the vehicle number of the regular vehicle registered in advance, the vehicle is permitted to be admitted and the recognized vehicle The number is delivered to the matching processing unit for exit through the central processing unit as matching data for shipping, and the vehicle number recognized at the time of warehousing does not match the vehicle number of the regular vehicle registered in advance, Alternatively, if the vehicle number cannot be recognized, the process moves to a warehousing process using a commuter pass, and the registered vehicle number specified based on the ID recorded on the commuter pass is matched for delivery. The data is distributed through the central processing unit to the exit matching processing unit. (Claim 5)
[0013]
(6) The matching data processed by the exit matching processing unit at the exit is distributed to the entrance matching processing unit. (Claim 6)
[0014]
According to the means according to claims 1 and 5 described in the above (1) and (5), instead of entering / exiting management by recognition of the vehicle number, when managing entry / exit of vehicles using a commuter pass, Since the registered vehicle number specified based on the ID recorded in the commuter pass is used as matching data for vehicle number verification at the time of departure, vehicles that have been illegally received by using the commuter pass are issued. In this case, the vehicle number recognized at the exit is inconsistent with the registered vehicle number, and the illegally entrant vehicle cannot be issued with the commuter pass, so it is possible to prevent unauthorized use of the commuter pass Become.
[0015]
According to the means according to claim 2 described in the above (2), it is possible to park a general vehicle other than a regular vehicle by issuing a parking ticket, and even in that case, the vehicle number is recognized (imaging) at the warehousing port. Because the recognition data is used as matching data at the time of delivery together with the parking ticket information, for vehicles that have been settled with a pre-payment machine, the vehicle is issued only by recognizing the vehicle number at the exit. This makes it possible to smooth the flow of the vehicle at the exit port.
[0016]
According to the means according to claim 3 described in the above (3), on the exit side, the registered vehicle number of the vehicle (regular vehicle) that has successfully entered the warehouse by matching at the entrance is matched with the registered vehicle number. The registered vehicle number specified from the ID of the commuter pass when commuting with a commuter pass because it is not made, and the general vehicle number recognized when a general vehicle other than the commuter vehicle is received If three vehicle numbers (data) consisting of, have arrived, and the vehicle number recognized at the outlet exit matches any of these three vehicle numbers, unconditional delivery is permitted, but they match In the case of not doing so, the process shifts to the issuing process using a commuter pass or parking ticket, so that it is possible to prevent fraud and to smoothly perform the process at the exit port.
[0017]
According to the means according to claim 4 described in (4) above, an OK mark and an NG mark are stored depending on whether or not matching is performed at the time of entering and leaving, or In the case of NG at the time of warehousing and at the time of warehousing, the vehicle is stopped or the warehousing is stopped, such as issuing an alarm, to prevent unauthorized personnel. It becomes easy to handle.
[0018]
According to the means according to claim 6 described in (6) above, various outgoing data including illegal outgoing data using a commuter pass obtained on the outgoing exit side is distributed to the incoming entrance side, and there is an unauthorized history. Since it is possible to prepare for the next use of the commuter pass, the use of the commuter pass used for backing up troubles such as poor reading of the vehicle number is monitored, and illegal parking using this commuter pass is prevented. be able to.

When the parking ticket is inserted into the card slot of the parking fee adjustment machine EPS at the exit, the matching data (vehicle number and parking ticket information) distributed to the exit matching computer MC ′ and the exit number plate reader VIS The vehicle number of the vehicle recognized by ′ and the parking ticket information read by the parking fee adjustment machine EPS are collated (matching). If the matching is appropriate, the parking gate fee is settled and the exit gate bar BP is opened. Open to allow vehicle delivery.
[0035]
Further, in the present invention, when a vehicle entered using a commuter pass is to be delivered, if the commuter pass is inserted into the card insertion slot of the parking fee settlement machine EPS provided at the exit, the exit matching computer MC ′ If the matching data (vehicle number specified by the ID of the commuter pass) and the vehicle number of the vehicle recognized by the exit number plate reader VIS ′ are collated (matching), if OK The exit gate bar BP is opened to allow the delivery.
[0036]
FIG. 5 is an explanatory view showing a display example of the matching status displayed on the display unit 2K of the parking fee adjusting machine EPS when the vehicle is issued using the commuter pass. The screen indicated by 2A is a display example when the periodical collation is OK at both the entrance and the exit. In this case, two OK marks (o mark) PNa and PUa are displayed side by side at the bottom of the screen.
The screen indicated by reference numeral 2B is a display example in the case where the periodic collation is NG at both the entrance and the exit. In this case, two NG marks (× mark marks) PNa ′ and PUa ′ are arranged at the bottom of the screen. Is displayed.
Further, the screen denoted by reference numeral 2C is a display example in which the regular check at the entrance is OK and the regular check at the exit is NG. In this case, the OK mark PNa and the NG mark PUa ′ are displayed side by side at the bottom of the screen. Further, the screen indicated by reference numeral 2D is a display example in which the regular collation at the entrance is NG and the regular collation at the exit is OK. In this case, the NG mark PNa 'and the OK mark PUa are displayed side by side at the bottom of the screen. Then, by looking at these display screens 2 </ b> A to 2 </ b> D, the driver himself can confirm whether or not the fare can be taken out when using a commuter pass.
[0037]
That is, the display screen 2A can be delivered, and the display screens 2C and 2D are determined to be capable of delivery, although the periodic verification at the exit or the entrance has failed, respectively, and the display screen 2B is judged to be unable to exit. In the case of the display screen 2B, since the probability of unauthorized use (reuse) of the commuter pass is high, the system is configured to call a staff member and confirm the presence or absence of fraud.
[0038]
Therefore, according to the parking lot management system according to the present invention, when a commuter pass is used to enter and exit the vehicle, a vehicle number other than the vehicle number of the commuter vehicle recorded in the commuter pass ID is recognized. Since the vehicle is prevented from being issued, it is possible to prevent unauthorized parking that allows vehicles other than the regular vehicle to be issued free of charge by using the commuter pass. The processing procedure will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.
[0039]
FIG. 6 illustrates a processing flow at the time of warehousing. In step S1, the vehicle number of the warehousing vehicle OM is recognized (imaged) by the entrance number plate reader VIS, and the periodicity registered in the matching server MS in advance. Check against the vehicle number of the contracted regular vehicle.
[0040]
If it is determined in step S2 that the threshold value has been exceeded (matched) as a result of the verification, the process proceeds to step S8, where it is recognized that the regular regular vehicle has been received, and various warehousing information including the vehicle number is stored. The matching data is distributed to the exit matching computer MC ′ via the matching server MS, and the warehousing process is performed. If it is determined that the threshold value is not exceeded (does not match), the process proceeds to the next step S3.
[0041]
In step S3, the parking ticket issuing machine TD installed at the warehousing port provides guidance with a display and a voice indicating that the vehicle can be stored with a parking ticket or commuter pass even if the vehicle number verification fails. In the next step S4, it is determined whether or not a parking ticket issuing button (not shown) of the parking ticket issuing machine TD has been pressed. If so, the process proceeds to step S9, where a parking ticket is issued, and the warehousing process is performed as a general vehicle. The entrance matching computer MC uses the parking ticket information (entry time, etc.) and the vehicle number read by the entrance number plate reader VIS as the matching data at the time of delivery via the matching server MS and the exit matching computer. If distributed to MC ′ but not pressed, the process proceeds to step S5.
[0042]
In step S5, it is determined whether or not the commuter pass has been inserted into the card slot (not shown) of the parking ticket issuing machine TD. If it has been inserted, the process proceeds to step S6 to receive the commuter vehicle using the commuter pass. The entrance matching computer MC distributes the vehicle number of the vehicle read by the entrance number plate reader VIS and the status that the commuter pass has been used to the matching server MS, and then proceeds to step S7. The matching server MS distributes the vehicle number periodically registered with the exit matching computer MC ′, the status of warehousing using a commuter pass, and the commuter pass information, and the warehousing process is completed.
[0043]
FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure when a vehicle entering process is performed using a parking ticket or a commuter pass according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 6 and then the vehicle is exited from the exit port. First, in step S10, the vehicle number of the outgoing vehicle OM ′ is read by the exit number plate reader VIS ′, and the vehicle number distributed to the exit matching computer MC ′ is matched with the read vehicle number ( Collation) and proceed to the next step S11.
[0044]
In step S11, it is determined whether or not the threshold value has been exceeded by the computer MC ′ as a result of the comparison with the vehicle number of the regular vehicle or parking ticket registered in the exit matching computer MC ′. The process proceeds to step S18, where the commuter pass information or parking ticket information registered in the exit matching computer MC ′ is erased and distribution to the matching server MS is performed, and the matching server MS Is handled as a goods issue.
[0045]
Further, in step S11, if the outgoing vehicle OM ′ is a regular vehicle, the matching server MS delivers the information at the time of delivery including the vehicle number of the regular vehicle and commuter pass information to the entrance matching computer MC. Next, it will be used as recognition material when the regular vehicle is parked. Here, on the display unit 2K of the parking fee settlement machine EPS installed at the exit, as shown in the screen 2A or 2D shown in FIG. 5 when the exit vehicle is a regular vehicle, two OK marks PNa and PUa, that is, , ○, ○ are displayed side by side, or NG mark PNa ′ and OK mark PUa, that is, ×, ○ are displayed side by side to make it possible to recognize the status of collation. No display is made, and when payment is completed, the goods can be issued.
[0046]
If it is determined in step S11 that the threshold value is not exceeded (does not match), the process proceeds to step S12, where the parking fee adjusting machine EPS displays or voices guidance on the insertion of the parking ticket or commuter pass. At this time, since the vehicle number collation at the exit matching computer MC ′ is NG, one NG mark PUa ′, that is, “X” is displayed on the display unit 2K.
[0047]
In the next step S13, it is determined whether or not a parking ticket or commuter pass has been inserted. If the ticket inserted in the next step S14 is a parking ticket, the process proceeds to step S19, and if it is a commuter pass, step S15. Proceed to
[0048]
In the above step S19, the parking ticket settlement machine EPS distributes the parking ticket information read to the exit matching computer MC ′, and performs the exiting process using the exiting vehicle OM ′ as a general vehicle based on the parking ticket information. The parking fee settlement machine EPS distributes the status of the delivery processing to the exit matching computer MC ′, the exit matching computer MC ′ erases the vehicle number, and distributes the fact to the matching server MS. Treat the vehicle as leaving.
[0049]
In the above step S15, the parking fee adjusting machine EPS sends the commuter pass information to the exit matching computer MC ′, and the exit matching computer MC ′ sends the vehicle number registered based on the scheduled vehicle information to the parking fee adjusting machine EPS. The process proceeds to the next step S16.
[0050]
In step S16, based on the commuter pass usage status delivered from the exit matching computer MC ′, the parking fee adjusting machine EPS determines whether or not the commuter vehicle has entered the commuter pass using the commuter pass. If it is not used, the process proceeds to step S20. If it is used, the process proceeds to step S17.
[0051]
In step S20 described above, even if the commuter pass is not used at the time of delivery, the verification at the time of warehousing is OK. Therefore, the vehicle is handled as a commuter vehicle and registered in the exit matching computer MC ′ and the commuter pass information. The exit matching computer MC ′ distributes the fact to the matching server MS, and the matching server MS treats the vehicle as a delivery. Further, the matching server MS delivers the vehicle number and commuter pass information to the entrance matching computer MC so that the entrance matching computer MC can read and recognize the vehicle when it enters the next time. Here, on the display unit 2K of the parking fee adjusting machine EPS, “O” and “X” in which the OK mark PNa and the NG mark PUa ′ are arranged as shown in the screen indicated by reference numeral 2C in FIG. 5 are displayed.
[0052]
In step S17, two NG marks PNa ', PUa', that is, x and x are displayed on the display unit 2K of the parking fee adjusting machine EPS as shown by the reference numeral 2B in FIG. The clerk can be called and the commuter ticket can be confirmed by the clerk while the exit process is stopped and the commuter ticket is stored in the settlement machine EPS.
[0053]
