Next, a parking guidance method according to an embodiment of the present application is described with reference to fig. 2.

The application provides a parking navigation method, as shown in fig. 2, which comprises the following steps:

in step S210, the navigation server obtains a navigation request issued by at least one user for a target parking lot.

In the application, a user can send a navigation request through the terminal equipment, and the navigation request comprises the starting point information and the ending point information. The start point information is the current position information of the user, and the end point information is the target parking lot information, such as position information.

In step S220, the navigation server acquires the remaining number of parking spaces of the target parking lot.

Here, the number of remaining parking spaces in the target parking lot may be obtained by the navigation server from the parking management system of the target parking lot at any time, or may be stored in advance in the storage device by the navigation server and be called by the navigation server at any time. For example, the parking management system sends the latest remaining parking space amount to the navigation server after each change of the remaining parking space amount, and the navigation server stores the remaining parking space amount to the storage device for later calling.

In step S230, the navigation server determines a parking user acceptable to the target parking lot based on the number of navigation requests and the number of remaining parking spaces.

Specifically, whether all users issuing navigation requests can be accepted by the target parking lot or not can be judged according to the number of the navigation requests and the number of the remaining parking spaces. For example, the remaining parking spaces can be completely allocated to navigation users, and the target parking lot can be used as the navigation terminal of all the users as long as the number of navigation requests is not greater than the number of the remaining parking spaces. In addition, the remaining parking space part can be distributed to navigation users, the reserved part is distributed to non-navigation users, the number of the navigation requests is smaller than the number of the remaining parking spaces, and the difference value between the number of the navigation requests and the number of the remaining parking spaces is larger than or equal to the preset reserved parking space number, so that the navigation path is prevented from being changed due to the change of the number of the parking spaces after the navigation path is generated.

When the number of navigation requests is greater than the number of remaining parking spaces or the number of navigation requests is less than the number of remaining parking spaces and the difference from the number of remaining parking spaces is less than the preset number of reserved parking spaces, the parking users acceptable to the target parking lot can be determined based on the priorities of the users.

For example, the number M of parking users receivable in the target parking lot is determined based on the number of remaining parking spaces. The first M users with the highest priority are taken as admissible parking users.

The priority may be determined based on the time of the navigation request, the distance between the user and the target parking lot, and the time of the user traveling along the planned path.

In step S240, the navigation server generates a corresponding navigation path based on the location information of each parking user.

Here, the location information is geographical location information where a user using the navigation apparatus is actually located. The positioning information of the user terminal equipment can be acquired through a positioning system of the user terminal equipment. The positioning system may be a GPS (Global Position Service, global satellite positioning system) system or a beidou satellite positioning system, etc. Since a user using the navigation device may be in a moving state, tracking acquisition of positioning information is required.

Specifically, navigation information is generated from the target parking lot location, current location information of the parking user, and map information.

The navigation path may include all the road identification information, the target point information, etc. passed through, and may also store real-time traffic information to avoid road segments such as congestion or traffic control during the path planning process. The above-mentioned path planning as the basic function of the map service has the business logic as follows: and inputting the position coordinates of the user and the coordinates of the target parking lot, and obtaining a directional navigation path from the input starting point to the destination through calculation based on the route and road condition data.

In step S250, the navigation server transmits the navigation path to the corresponding parking user.

After the navigation server transmits the navigation path to the corresponding parking user, the parking user can travel to the target parking lot according to the navigation path.

According to the parking navigation method, the same parking lot is searched for by a plurality of users at the same time, and the receivable parking users are determined through the number of the remaining parking spaces, so that the time for the users to find the parking lot is shortened, the parking efficiency is improved, and better car utilization experience is brought to the clients.

Next, a method of acquiring parking lot information according to an embodiment of the present application will be described with reference to fig. 3.

In this embodiment, the parking lot information includes position information of a parking lot and remaining parking space number information. The parking navigation method further includes the following steps S310-S330 before the navigation server obtains the navigation request issued by at least one user for the target parking lot.

In step S310, the navigation server receives the position information of the target parking lot and the number of remaining parking spaces transmitted by the parking management system.

The parking management system acquires the occupation information of each parking space in the target parking lot in real time through the parking space sensor.

The occupation information of the parking space can comprise whether the vehicle occupies the current parking space, and one or more of the starting time, the ending time and the berth number of the current parking space occupied by the vehicle.

The parking space sensor monitors the parking space occupation condition in real time, and the monitored parking space occupation state can be reported to a main controller at the entrance of a parking lot or a central server arranged in a machine room.

Fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a parking management system according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 4, in one specific implementation, the parking management system 40 may include, but is not limited to, a parking space information acquisition module 41, an access management module 42, and a central server 43.

The parking space information acquisition module 41 and the access management module 42 are respectively connected with the central server 43 through wireless networks, wherein the wireless networks can be one or more of 4G, 5G or wifi networks.

The central server 43 is also connected to the navigation server via a wireless network capable of supporting telecommunications, such as a 4G, 5G network.

The parking space information acquisition module 41 may include a parking space sensor, for example, the parking space sensor may be a geomagnetic sensor, the geomagnetic sensor is based on geomagnetism, disturbance of a vehicle to a magnetic field of the earth is used as a trigger condition, radar detection is used as an aid, whether a vehicle is driven in or not is sensed, and a vehicle parking start time is recorded, that is, when the vehicle is driven in the parking space, the geomagnetic detection device can detect vehicle entering information, and when the vehicle is driven out, the information that the vehicle is driven out can also be detected.

The parking space sensor detects the parking or leaving of the vehicle on the parking space, and when the parking or leaving of the vehicle is detected, the time for the vehicle to park or leave the parking space and the parking space number of the vehicle corresponding to the parking space are sent to the central server.

The central server 43 is used for performing parking space management, such as collection and statistics of parking space occupation information, and sending the parking space occupation information to the navigation server through the wireless communication module. The central server 43 may also be used for parking charge management, for example to generate payment information from license plate information of the vehicle, time of parking in the parking lot, and time of leaving the parking lot. That is, the parking time period is calculated using the time when the vehicle leaves the parking lot and the time when the vehicle enters the parking lot, and then the parking fee is calculated based on the parking time period.

The access management module 42 is configured to collect license plate information of a vehicle and time information of accessing a parking lot, and send the collected information to the central server 43; the parking fee of the vehicle is acquired from the center server 43, and a brake opening instruction is transmitted to the brake system based on the payment result of the user.

And the parking management system calculates the number of the residual parking spaces of the target parking lot based on the occupation information, and sends the number of the residual parking spaces and the position information of the target parking lot to the navigation server.

After the central server in the parking management system counts the occupation situation of the parking spaces, the number of the remaining parking spaces and the position information of the target parking lot are uploaded to the navigation server through the wireless communication module. The uploading can be performed in real time, or performed at preset time intervals, or performed when the number of the remaining parking spaces is changed.

Specifically, the parking management system calculates the information of the parking spaces in a summarizing way, and cards out the number of the remaining parking spaces in the parking lot, and the data is uploaded to the map background through the wireless communication module at fixed intervals. And after the map background receives the data, calibrating and corresponding the parking lot position information and the vacant parking space information, and storing the parking lot position information and the vacant parking space information to the cloud for real-time refreshing. When a user searches for parking lot information through a map Application program (App), the page end simultaneously gives the parking lot position, the vacant parking space data and the route planning time for the user to select.

In step S320, the navigation server stores the position information of the target parking lot and the number of remaining parking spaces in the storage device.

In step S330, when receiving the parking lot inquiry request issued by the user, the navigation server reads the location information and the number of remaining parking spaces and transmits them to the user.

Specifically, the map service data can be sent to user terminal equipment, and the user terminal equipment is provided with a client application program of map service, so that map service functions such as line navigation, street view map, place inquiry, line inquiry, real-time road condition and the like can be provided for a user. Such as "Goldmap" applications, etc. The application program can be run on terminal equipment of a user, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a vehicle-mounted terminal and the like.

It can be appreciated that in one embodiment, map data is downloaded locally to the user terminal device, so that the application program can still implement map functions such as path planning and path modification in an offline state. For example, map data is downloaded on the vehicle-mounted terminal, so that when the vehicle-mounted terminal is in an offline state, route planning and updating can still be performed by using the locally downloaded map data.

However, when the parking navigation method is implemented, the path planning is implemented by the navigation server corresponding to the client. The navigation server stores the current position information of each client, and can carry out path planning on the admissible parking users.

According to the method, the system and the device, the parking spaces are monitored by acquiring the number of the remaining parking spaces in real time, the parking space information is synchronized to the map software through the wireless communication module, so that the parking lot and the parking space information are fully fused, the real-time problem of the number of the remaining parking spaces is effectively solved, the public parking spaces can be effectively utilized, the driving and traveling experience of a user is improved, and the technical problem that the position information of the parking lot and the situation of the remaining parking spaces in the prior art cannot be synchronized in real time is solved.

According to one embodiment of the present application, a navigation server determines a parking user acceptable to a target parking lot based on the number of navigation requests and the number of remaining parking spaces, including:

Under the condition that the number of navigation requests is smaller than or equal to the number of the remaining parking spaces, determining that each user sending the navigation requests aiming at the target parking lot is an acceptable parking user;

In the case where the number of navigation requests is greater than the number of remaining parking spaces, a parking user receivable in the target parking lot is determined based on a travel time required for each user to reach the target parking place.

Determining a parking user receivable in the target parking lot based on a travel time required for each user to reach the target parking place, comprising:

and determining N users as parking users which can be accepted by the target parking lot based on the sequence of the running time of each user from short to long, wherein N is less than or equal to the number of the remaining parking spaces.

When N is equal to the number of the remaining parking spaces, the remaining parking spaces can be completely distributed to navigation users. And when N is smaller than the number of the residual parking spaces, the residual parking spaces are partially distributed to navigation users, so that the part can be reserved for non-navigation users, and the situation that the navigation path is changed due to the change of the number of the parking spaces after the navigation path is generated can be avoided.

The parking guidance method of the present embodiment is specifically described below with reference to fig. 5.

Step S1: the user inputs a search "parking lot" using the map app.

Step S2: and the map app outputs the nearby parking lot positions and the rest parking space information according to the priority and integrates the parking lot positions, the driving time and the rest parking space quantity according to the position information of the user, so that the user can select by referring to driving.

Step S3: the user clicks on the parking lot selection at the app page end in conjunction with his own needs.

Step S4: and the map background judges whether a plurality of users simultaneously designate the same parking lot, if not, the current user obtains the highest priority, and the map background directly jumps to the step S5 to carry out path planning. If there are a plurality of users who are simultaneously locating a search or have a vehicle to go to a target parking lot, a judgment selection needs to be made through the following steps S41 to S43.

Step S41: and judging whether the current residual parking space meets all searching users, if so, jumping to the step S5. If not, the following step S42 is performed.

Step S42: the map background synthesizes the positioning information of all searching users, performs path planning, calculates the time required by each user to reach a target parking place when the user runs according to the planned path, and sorts the users according to the priority as the time is shorter, the priority is higher; and then, according to the number of the remaining parking spaces, the user with higher priority is a user for obtaining the parking spaces, and the step S5 is skipped. For users who do not obtain priority, the following step S43 is performed.

Step S43: the map app page end informs the user who does not obtain the priority that the number of the remaining parking spaces of the target parking lot is insufficient, and recommends to select other parking lots.

Step S5: and the map app performs path planning, calculates the time required by driving, and informs the target parking lot to establish communication connection with a main control at the entrance of the target parking lot.

Step S6: the user goes to the target parking lot, when the target parking lot has the parking stall change in the way of going, initiatively in time report to the map backstage, and the backstage receives and notifies the user to reselect the route in the first time after the parking stall is taken up the information, avoids more time waste.

Step S7: and the user enters the parking lot according to the path planning, and parks by intelligent auxiliary driving.

Step S8: after the user parks, the parking space sensor of the parking lot senses information change, then the information is reported to the main control at the entrance of the parking lot, the main control reports the summarized and calculated information to the map, the background of the map receives the parking space data and updates and stores the parking space data to the cloud, and the navigation is finished.

By the method of the embodiment, a user searches a parking lot (the rest parking space information is synchronously displayed) by using the map APP, and the user can finish parking by going to the parking lot with a space according to the navigation route; in the driving process, the parking spaces are refreshed in real time, the phenomenon that the empty parking spaces are insufficient when a user goes to a parking lot is avoided, better prejudgment is realized, and the user experience on the intelligent driving auxiliary system can be fully improved.

According to an embodiment of the present application, the parking navigation method further includes:

After the navigation paths are sent to the corresponding parking users, when the number of the remaining parking spaces is reduced, corresponding prompt information is sent to at least some users in the parking users.

Specifically, the prompt information can include prompt information of insufficient parking spaces and recommended prompts of other parking lots, so that a user has an opportunity to adjust a driving route, and the situation that the parking lots are searched again or waiting for the parking spaces due to no parking spaces after the user arrives at the parking lots is avoided.

Here, the determination of the time of the user may be based on the time of the navigation request, the determination may be based on the distance between the user and the target parking lot, or the determination may be based on the time of the user traveling along the planned path, for example. For example, a notification of an insufficient number of parking spaces may be sent to a part of users having the longest travel time.

And the navigation server sends the position information of other parking lots and the number of the residual parking spaces to the navigation terminal of the user which is not acceptable to the target parking lot.

Specifically, the navigation server may determine the users that are not acceptable to the target parking lot based on the number of navigation requests, the location information of each user, and the number of remaining parking spaces. The navigation server acquires the position information of other parking lots and the number of the remaining parking spaces; and the navigation server sends the position information of other parking lots and the number of the residual parking spaces to the navigation terminal of the unacceptable user.

When the user who cannot be admitted is determined, all the remaining parking spaces can be allocated to the user who sends the navigation request, or part of the remaining parking spaces can be allocated to the user who sends the navigation request, and other parking spaces are reserved parking spaces. The users who do not allocate the parking spaces are not acceptable users.

The user incapable of being accepted by the parking lot is determined in the navigation stage, so that waiting or changing of the parking lot to go out again due to no parking space after the user arrives at the parking lot is avoided.

According to one embodiment of the present application, the navigation server transmits the number of parking users to a parking management system provided to a target parking lot.

The number of the parking users is sent to the parking management system, so that the parking management system can update the number of the remaining parking spaces in time.

The embodiment of the application also provides a navigation server, which comprises a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program run by the processor, and the computer program, when run by the processor, causes a device provided with the processor to execute the parking navigation method according to any embodiment.
