Five hot spots of parking management system
With the rapid increase of urban vehicles, parking difficulty has become a social problem of general concern, and parking management system is an effective tool to solve this problem. However, what do users value about parking management systems and manufacturers? What new needs will there be in the future? This article chooses the user's point of view as the starting point, and also penetrates the view of some manufacturers, discusses the user's several major concerns about the parking lot management system.
According to relevant statistics, China's car ownership in 2004 about 20 million, 2005 car ownership will reach about 25 million, the average annual growth rate of about 10%. However, the problem of fewer cars and difficult parking has become increasingly prominent, which has become the common concern of the current society. In Guangzhou, the number of existing vehicles has reached more than 500,000, but only about 280,000 parking Spaces, which can be seen in the shortage of parking Spaces.
To this end, in recent years, most cities in China are building or expanding parking Spaces. For example, Chongqing plans to add 65,000 parking Spaces in the core area of Chongqing's main city by 2020. It is also reported that recently, the newly adjusted "Beijing new construction of motor vehicle parking space configuration standards" stipulates that new buildings must be equipped with parking lots, of which, the new office building per 1000 square meters of construction area should be configured with 6.5 motor vehicle space, the new residential area is in accordance with the requirements of 0.3-1.3 parking Spaces/household to configure.
The difficulty of parking and the construction of parking lot have given birth to the application of parking lot management system, which can make the management of parking lot safer and more effective. In the face of market demand, do manufacturers understand what users are concerned about the parking lot management system? What are the new needs in the future? ...
Domestic products are the home field
However, as domestic manufacturers have increased the development of the market and the gradual maturity of product technology in recent years, domestic parking products have achieved quite good performance in the market, and the current market is also to choose local products as the mainstream.
Among them, price is the most important reason. It is understood that a set of ordinary scale parking management system in foreign countries is as high as 300,000-400,000, while the domestic is generally within 100,000, the difference is 3-4 times the gap. In addition, the domestic system operation interface is Chinese, suitable for the operation and maintenance of general non-professional personnel, and in terms of after-sales service, can provide timely service, etc., which are factors that affect the transition of the Chinese market from foreign products to domestic products.
In the use of identification, can save costs, reflect the concept of environmental protection is also one of the requirements of users. At present, the domestic large parking lot mainly uses smart card identification technology (such as contactless IC card and contactless electronic tag), which is different from some countries in Europe and the United States. As we all know, many countries in Europe and the United States still use paper tickets as a vehicle entry and exit credentials, and the cost of a paper ticket is at least 0.12 yuan, which will increase the cost of parking lot management, especially for large parking lots.
Five hot spots
Focus 1: Professional design
In other words, although many countries in Europe and the United States still use paper tickets, the managers and owners are not controversial, and everyone is very recognized. The reason is that the value of a parking lot management system does not lie in what kind of identification technology is used, whether it is using magnetic cards or IC cards, short distance or long distance RF radio frequency identification... That's not what the yard manager is looking for. The system is stable and reliable, can operate normally, and does not fail, which is the primary requirement of users, and is also the top priority of a parking lot system.
People often mentioned parking management system usually includes: entrance management station, exit management station and computer monitoring center and so on. The entrance and exit management station is generally equipped with ground sensing coil, automatic railing machine, inductive reader, indicating and displaying entrance machine, electronic display screen, automatic card taking machine and camera, etc. The main function of the entrance is to detect vehicle entry, issue parking cards, parking space guidance, etc. The function of exit is to detect the vehicle exit, recover and check the parking card, calculate the amount of charge, and communicate with the central management station. The computer monitoring center generally includes the computer host, display, walkie-talkie and ticket printer, etc. Its main function is to monitor and manage the entire parking lot.
If a parking lot system is unstable, it will lead to frequent failures in all parts of the system, affecting the normal operation of the parking lot. For example, the automatic card issuing machine does not issue the card, the management software cannot charge normally, the road brake breaks the car, the system does not identify the card information and so on. To this end, the design of the hardware and software of the parking lot system must be "kung fu" and reflect professionalism.
First of all, the main control board of the access control machine must be specially designed for the parking lot system, and can not simply be replaced by the mainboard of the IC card access control machine. Because the control process of the entrance and exit of the parking lot, in addition to the identification of the card and the judgment function of the authority, it must also make the corresponding detection and judgment of the current operating status of the supporting equipment of the system, such as whether to open the gate, charge, and save the operation record.
Secondly, the security of data transmission and storage must be ensured. Because the loss and error of any information will lead to the abnormal operation of the system or the loss of operation records, and the stability and reliability of the database will also directly affect the performance of the entire parking lot system. According to him, most manufacturers currently choose widely used, stable and reliable professional database software, such as Microsoft SQL Server.
In addition, the traditional electromechanical equipment - road brake, which does not smash the car is also a basic requirement of the user for the system. That is, the design of the system should ensure that when the vehicle is directly below the gate, the ground sensing coil can detect the presence of the vehicle, and the gate will not be closed until the vehicle is all away from the gate, so as to ensure the safety of the vehicle and personnel.
Concern 2: Monitoring linkage
Safety is one of the aims of parking lot management. For car owners, the only requirement is to ensure the safety of their vehicles from the moment they enter the lot to the moment they leave the lot; In the case of paid parking lots, the manager requires that parking fees can be safely received.
Now the parking managers worry about how to ensure the security of parking vehicles. Because in large parking lots, the parking area is large (many parking lots have several levels), parked vehicles, which makes it difficult for managers to do everything, and once the vehicle or property theft in the vehicle, because the responsibility is difficult to distinguish, things will be very tricky to deal with, so he hopes that the developer of parking management system will have greater breakthroughs in this area in the future.
In terms of ensuring the safety of vehicle parking, image contrast technology is often used at present, which combines IC card and image recognition. That is, at the moment when the vehicle enters the parking lot and swipes the card or gets the ticket, the camera is started to capture the image of the vehicle, and the information of the card or ticket held by the owner is stored in the database; And when the vehicle goes out to check the card or ticket, the camera takes the image of the vehicle again, and then compares the image of the vehicle corresponding to the card to confirm whether the entry and exit are the same car. Zhang Gong of Beijing Dongfang Ancheng Electronic Technology Development Co., Ltd. said that the image comparison recognition rate is high, and the occurrence of more than one card in and out of the parking lot is avoided, so that one card and one car are effectively avoided to steal cars, steal cars, and change cars.
On the other hand, the license plate recognition technology currently used for road tolls can also play a certain role in car theft prevention. When the vehicle enters the parking lot, the system automatically captures the vehicle's license plate, uses license plate positioning technology and optical character recognition technology (OCR) to read the license plate number in the image and save it. At the time of exit, the license plate number of the vehicle is captured and extracted for automatic comparison. However, the current license plate recognition technology is not very mature, the factors affected by the environment are large, such as weather conditions (rain, fog, etc.), it is not easy to identify, moreover, there are many types of Chinese models, (such as military vehicles, police vehicles, etc.), for these types of vehicles, the system can not be identified, so the current license plate recognition can only be used as an auxiliary means of parking lot safety management.
In terms of toll management, Manager Chen of CITIC Plaza believes that the central toll method is safer and more flexible, and can prevent exit congestion, ensure smooth operation of vehicles, improve vehicle appearance and speed (the exit speed of the export toll vehicle is about 40 seconds, and the central toll only takes 10 seconds), and is more humane.
Focus 3: Individual needs
The application field of parking management system is very wide, such as used in small and medium-sized commercial paid parking lots (hotels, office buildings, shopping malls, theaters), large or very large commercial paid parking lots (airports, stadiums, exhibition centers), residential parking lots, etc., but different parking lots have different requirements for system software and hardware.
In addition, other places, such as government agencies, factory areas, vehicle access management should be linked to the daily dispatch management system of vehicles; Military, security, aerospace units require a higher security management and emergency response mechanism for special vehicles. Therefore, users hope that the development of the parking lot system will meet the needs of users as the main line, and manufacturers can provide targeted solutions according to different user groups.
Focus 4: Training and service
Parking management system involves the technical level, the range is very wide, including electronics, computers, communications, electromechanical, network and other technologies, its complexity is even higher than other systems in the security system, such as access control, CCTV, alarm and so on. However, the general parking lot managers do not have such comprehensive technical knowledge, and the problems in the parking lot system are often caused by the improper operation of the management personnel. Therefore, the managers hope that the parking lot management company can provide training for them, including the recommendation of typical cases, so that the management personnel can be skilled in using the system and carry out simple maintenance. Even train a team of professional managers for them.
As in other industries, the role of service work can not be ignored in the parking industry. To obtain the recognition of the majority of users, the manufacturer of the parking system must take good care of the user, take good care of the user, be close to the user, service users, even five years ago, ten years ago, should provide follow-up technical support and so on.
Focus 5: Mechanical stereo garage
Domestic parking can be divided into self-propelled and mechanical three-dimensional garage, although the current self-propelled garage mainly, but due to the lack of urban land resources, the market for the establishment of three-dimensional garage demand gradually, users also generally believe that three-dimensional garage will be a trend in the future.
The biggest advantage of three-dimensional garage is to save land and effectively improve the utilization rate of parking space. It is understood that the mechanical three-dimensional parking garage covers an area of about 1/2 to 1/25 of the flat parking lot, and the space utilization rate is more than 75% higher than that of the building self-propelled parking garage. Last year, 68 cities in 26 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions built three-dimensional parking garages. The process of general mechanical three-dimensional car inventory car is to first drive the car to the loading plate, and then the vehicle is automatically sent to the designated position by the vehicle carrier; The process of picking up the car is contrary to the storage, the owner to the designated position to operate the button or punch the card, and the car parking corresponding to the button or card will automatically send the car to the exit, the whole process is convenient, simple, reliable, safe and fast access.
On the other hand, due to the high capital and automation technology requirements required to establish a three-dimensional garage, the current demand is not very large; However, it can be predicted that with the increase of cars leading to the shortage of parking Spaces, the development of three-dimensional garages will be the mainstream trend and demand.
