What Kind of Wisdom Does Urban Parking Need

With the rapid development of urban economy, the number of private cars has increased rapidly, and the contradiction between supply and demand of urban parking has become increasingly prominent, which has become a hot issue of public concern. "Parking difficulty" has also become one of the urgent problems to be solved in the construction of smart city, and smart parking came into being.

At present, there are two main ideas to solve the problem of parking. One is to add more parking spaces to solve the problem of less parking spaces; Second, improve the full utilization of existing parking spaces, which requires improving the management level and operation capacity of the whole industry.

To build a smart parking lot, we also need to improve the technology of smart parking system

Traditional parking management equipment and monitoring equipment are limited by practical application scenarios and technical capabilities. In terms of large-scale urban construction and technical capabilities, they are far from enough to solve the problems faced by urban parking at this stage. It is urgent to improve the technical capabilities of intelligent parking system. Improvements are mainly made in several aspects:

License plate recognition is an automatic pattern recognition technology for license plate number and license plate color by collecting dynamic video or static images of vehicles.

The parking lot can realize the automatic timing and charging of vehicles by installing the license plate recognition equipment at the entrance and exit, recording the license plate number and access time of vehicles, and combining with the control of automatic door and railing machine. When the vehicle detection section detects the arrival of the vehicle, it triggers the image acquisition unit to acquire the current video image. The license plate recognition unit processes the image, locates the license plate position, segments the characters in the license plate for recognition, and then forms the license plate number output.

parking guidance technology

Parking space guidance technology is a very important part of the development of intelligent parking. It can help car owners quickly find parking spaces, avoid driving blindly, effectively improve the utilization rate of traffic roads and alleviate vehicle congestion. At present, there are three main types of parking space guidance systems: parking location guidance, ultrasonic parking space guidance and video parking space guidance.

For parking location guidance, the vehicle detector is used to detect the vehicle access of each vehicle channel in real time, and send data to the main processor through the high-speed communication network. The main processor receives the data transmitted from each vehicle channel, and after comprehensive calculation, the main processor will accurately judge the entry, exit, reversing and parking of vehicles through the high-speed communication network Retrograde, etc.

The ultrasonic parking space guidance system uses an ultrasonic detector installed above the parking space, and uses the characteristics of ultrasonic reflection to detect whether there is a parking space below the parking space, so as to guide the vehicle through the system. The ultrasonic guidance system is suitable for parking lots with large traffic flow and tight parking spaces. It can help car owners understand the free parking space information in real time and quickly, so as to park quickly and efficiently.

The video parking space guidance system uses a camera installed above the parking space to analyze whether there is a parking space below the parking space through video, so as to guide the vehicle through the system. The video guidance and vehicle finding system is suitable for large commercial squares and airports with large traffic flow and relatively chaotic management.

unattended Technology

Relying on the construction of intelligent front-end hardware of parking lot and the development of remote hosting function of operation and maintenance platform, unattended technology has been widely used in parking management of smart park. On the one hand, it greatly reduces the workload of managers and improves management efficiency; On the other hand, it reduces the basic staffing and reduces the operation cost. For car owners, the establishment of unattended parking management mode standardizes the driving behavior of car owners and is beneficial to good park parking management.

big data management combined with remote operation and maintenance

Based on the continuous accumulation of daily operation data between the manager and the car owner, the customer's hardware system is networked through the intelligent management platform to produce the big data platform. The customer can remotely maintain the system hardware and greatly improve the customer's management efficiency. At the same time, the big data platform analyzes the traffic flow, passenger flow and information flow, provides data support for the customer's business decision-making and promotes the customer's business transformation, Increase operation income.

handheld POS charging system

Of course, in addition to large-scale standardized management parking lots, it is difficult to realize systematic management of small parking lots, roadside parking spaces and other parking spaces. The handheld POS charging system effectively solves the problems of difficult, missed and random collection of urban time charges, and can provide road parking data for the urban traffic cloud platform in real time; Support multiple payment methods to improve public payment efficiency.

The competition in the smart parking industry is becoming increasingly fierce, and the market needs to be further cultivated

At present, the demand gap of China's smart parking market is still very huge. China has nearly 172 million cars. Based on the parking cost of 3000 yuan a year, the static market space of parking charge is about 500 billion yuan. The broad market prospect makes many Internet companies aim at the 100 billion level parking management market. Parking is obvious as the entrance of automobile consumption.

Therefore, a large number of Internet enterprises such as Beijing Yuechang etcp, Beijing worry free parking 51park, Chengdu e parking, Xi'an parking king, etc. generally expect to use parking app as an automobile consumption entrance, break through the barriers of traditional parking manufacturers with mobile Internet thinking, and seize the "bridgehead" of intelligent parking.

These enterprises either invest their own funds to build parking lots, or access parking lot data through cooperation with existing parking lots, so as to strive to become the entrance of parking information. They hope to form a large-scale customer base through the integration of parking lot data and parking services in the early stage, and integrate the surrounding supporting facilities of cars in the later stage to seize the post parking market.

However, many enterprises in the field of smart parking have not found an effective and reasonable revenue model. Further, the parking field is a very subdivided industry, and its demand is also diverse. On the premise of limited supply and market segmentation, if "smart parking" wants to develop in the medium and short term, it must find key market segments and cultivate them deeply.

Conclusion: with the help of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, Internet of things and other technical means, improving the intelligent parking management system, providing convenience for parking people, improving urban road traffic congestion, promoting government supervision, enterprise operation mode and technological reform, accelerating the attraction of social capital and promoting parking industrialization is the general direction of the development of intelligent parking industry in the future.
