Integrated parking management system

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an integrated parking management system, and more particularly, to an integrated parking management system for guiding a driver to a parking space by identifying a parking state in a parking lot.

With the increase of automobiles, large buildings such as apartments and department stores have outdoor parking as well as large underground parking lots. In spite of the increased size of the parking lot, as the number of vehicles increases, the driver not only wastes a lot of time looking for an empty parking space, but often a parking accident or a contact accident occurs in the parking lot.

For example, in the case of a parking lot such as a weekend mart or a department store, it is very difficult to find an empty parking space because many vehicles enter the parking lot. That is, a parking lot such as a large mart or a department store provides the driver with guidance only about parking available in the corresponding parking lot, and the drivers park slowly while driving left and right to find an empty parking space. As a result, drivers lose their concentration on driving and often cause accidents in contact with a passing person or other vehicle.

In addition, since the driver drives slowly to secure an empty parking space, many vehicles are not able to smoothly enter the parking lot and stall the road traffic due to traffic jams.

As a result, drivers spend a lot of time completing parking, and as they spend more time roaming in complex parking lots, they waste fuel or pollute the atmosphere of the vehicle, thus reversing energy conservation and environmental issues in the high oil price era. Done.

The present invention aims to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to construct a guide device in which a camera for photographing a license plate of a vehicle and an indicator for guiding a parking available area in a parking lot are integrated.
