As in the case of the entrance 11, the vehicle identification information uses the vehicle number read from the license plate of the vehicle, and the identification information transmitted from the vehicle-mounted device such as ETC used for toll collection on the highway. , Identification information transmitted from a license plate provided with a wireless IC chip, identification information transmitted from a tag provided with a wireless IC chip mounted on a vehicle, identification information transmitted from a mobile phone in a vehicle, and the like. Alternatively, the identification information transmitted from these vehicles may be obtained by receiving the identification information by a vehicle identification information receiving unit.
[0049]
When the vehicle identification information and the arrival time at the entrance are acquired at the entrance 15 in this manner, the vehicle identification information is sent to the central management system 30, and the arrival time at the entrance is stored in the temporary storage unit 38 of the central management system information unit 31. The information associated with the vehicle identification information in S1-1 is searched.
Then, the entrance arrival time is recorded in association with the vehicle identification information of the vehicle information section S1-1. At the same time, an entry time associated with the vehicle identification information is searched for and stored in the temporary storage unit.
[0050]
On the other hand, the participation information detection device 19 reads the parking ticket number k from the parking ticket and transmits it to the central management system 30.
Then, the central management system 30 searches the parking ticket information of the parking ticket information section S1-2 based on the transmitted parking ticket number k, and temporarily stores at least the corresponding parking ticket issue time, settlement time, and settlement completed information. Store in the department.
[0051]
Thereafter, a determination is made as to whether or not the user is an unauthorized user. If the user is not an unauthorized user, the exit gate bar 17 is opened and entry is permitted, and the entry fee (parking fee) is reduced for the unauthorized user. You will be instructed to pay, and after payment is confirmed you will be allowed to play.
[0052]
Therefore, the determination of unauthorized use will be described in accordance with the flow shown in FIG. 5. Before that, the parking lot management method and apparatus assume the following three cases (1) to (3) as unauthorized use. are doing.
That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the concept of time management in a parking lot is as described above. (1) If the grace period after entry exceeds the grace time (specified time for fraud determination 1), (2) the pre-payment machine 23 If you have not completed the pre-payment in the above, furthermore, if the time from the pre-payment settlement time to the exit arrival time is long, for example, you received a parking ticket, but perform pre-payment before leaving the parking lot 10 and parking After exiting the parking lot while keeping the state, it is assumed that the driver returns to the parking lot 10 and leaves the parking lot. In such a case, most of the parking fee cannot be paid. The time until the arrival time is set as the post-payment grace time, and (3) the case where the post-payment grace time is exceeded (specified time 2 for fraud determination) is set and managed.
[0053]
Therefore, the fraudulent judgment at the time of entry is first determined whether or not the grace time after entry has been exceeded, and if so, an illegal parking fee 2 for a time corresponding to the entrance time is calculated from the parking ticket issuance time. I do.
[0054]
If the grace time has not been exceeded after entry, it is determined whether or not the parking fee 1 has been settled by the advance payment machine 23. If the payment has not been completed, the arrival time and parking ticket issuance will be made. The parking fee 3 corresponding to the time is calculated.
In this case, since the fraud that the grace time after the settlement is exceeded cannot occur (because the vehicle has already arrived at the entrance), the entrance fee 2 is calculated by adding the illegal parking fee 2 and the parking fee 3. Then, the entry fee 2 is displayed and payment is instructed.
After the payment of the participation fee 2 is confirmed, participation is permitted.
[0055]
On the other hand, if the pre-payment has been completed, it is determined whether the grace time after the payment has been exceeded, and if it has been exceeded, the illegal parking fee 4 corresponding to the payment time is calculated from the arrival time at the entrance. .
[0056]
Next, in both cases where the post-payment grace time has been exceeded or not, the entry fee 1 is calculated by adding the unauthorized parking fee 2 and the unauthorized parking fee 4.
Then, it is determined whether the entry fee 1 is 0 yen (if there is no fraud, the entry fee 1 is 0 yen), and if it is 0 yen, entry is permitted.
If there is an entry fee 1, the entry fee 1 is displayed and payment is instructed.
After confirming that the entry fee 1 has been paid, entry is permitted.
As a result, it is possible to calculate a parking fee, instruct payment, and receive the parking fee for any assumed unauthorized use.
[0057]
Thus, entry from the entry port 15 is performed, but a normal user only needs to insert a parking ticket into the entry information detection device 19 and does not have to pay for the entry, and only has to wait until entry is permitted and then enter. The entrance 15 can be smoothly entered without being crowded.
[0058]
In addition, it is possible to judge at the entrance that the issuance of the parking ticket is delayed in the parking lot and the prepayment is performed based on the parking ticket issued late, at the entrance. The participation can be made after confirming the payment of the fee, and it is possible to prevent the parking lot from suffering a disadvantage.
Further, since the pre-payment is performed, the user can easily perform the pre-payment without having to remember the vehicle number.
[0059]
The grace time after entry and the grace time after settlement of the parking lot management method and device may be set arbitrarily. For example, if the grace time after entry is extended, the parking lot provided by a store or department store may be set. Most of the users, such as parking lots, can use it free of charge without taking a parking ticket, and only the user who uses it as a time rental parking lot issues the parking ticket, Parking lots can be used together with service parking lots and hourly parking lots, and by extending the grace period after settlement, it is possible to respond to traffic congestion on roads adjacent to the parking lot.
