10 Smart Parking in Smart City

Smart parking is expanding at airports, shopping centers, streets, and universities while the attention of smart city is attracting attention.

Initially, it was a mere search system in the parking area, but it has gradually become more sophisticated due to various environmental changes, such as improving cashless, sensor technology, and image recognition AI technology by camera.

If an autonomous driving car is commonplace, a large parking lot may have a valley parking function that automatically parked or picks up if you get on and off the parking lot.。

In addition, as EVs are becoming more, the charging facilities in the parking lot are being enhanced, and further changes have occurred in a broad perspective, such as reservation management and usage management of charging corners.

We explain the parking situation and compare solutions.

What is smart parking?

Smart parking in smart city includes a solution that users who want to use a parking lot can easily search for empty space, paid prices in parking, devices that understand the car's full -time status in real time, and even usage status.By visualizing, it provides the information you want to know the parking lot.

Background that requires smart parking

One of the urban issues around the world is that there is not enough parking space for cars.

According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, as of 2018, the number of cars has a car owned by 78.14 million units, while the number of parking lots is 5.34 million units, which is overwhelmingly small compared to the number of cars.

In particular, many people in urban areas have experienced "searching for empty parking lots".Furthermore, the revision of the Road Traffic Law, which was constructed in 2006, has also been a factor in searching for vacant parking lots.

In response to this situation, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has formulated a "parking lot measures guidelines in cooperation with town development", and flexibly on the street parking lot according to "optimization of parking lot arrangement" and "local land use and traffic conditions.Various measures have been taken, such as "enabling the entrance to and outdown, but private businesses have taken individual measures on this issue.

This is the smart parking solution.

Smart parking mechanism

Smart parking basically consists of the following four.

The low cost by using IoT and AI technology and the ease of installing equipment are one element that attracts attention.

When uploading the obtained data of the IoT sensor to the cloud, when using Bluetooth, a gateway is required because the communication distance is short, but if you do smart parking in a large area like a street parking, many gateway is required. Become.

In such a case, if you use cellular communication such as NB-Iot (narrow band IoT) with a long communication distance, you will not need to install a gateway.

However, in the case of NB-Iot, it is necessary to put a SIM for each sensor, and it is generally more expensive than a communication module that can communicate with Wifi and Bluetooth, so it is necessary to calculate the cost according to the application.。

In addition, as a simple smart parking, there is a service such as a color cone installed in the parking lot, and a service such as managing the entry and exit only with beacon and smartphone, and parking space in your home and your own premises.By providing, "Space Sharing" services such as "AKKIPA", which are smart parking without introducing special equipment, have also appeared.

Advantages of smart parking

Smart parking has the benefits of both the driver and the parking owner.

1. 空き駐車場をスムーズに探せる

Digital devices allow drivers to recognize the parking lot full.This information can be uploaded to the cloud using the gateway equipment installed in the parking lot, so the user can find an empty parking lot through smartphone apps.

2. オンライン決済ができる

In the conventional coin parking, the driver must settle with a settlement when leaving the store, but in a smart parking, cashless payment is completed if you have a smartphone.

3. 設備導入費を削減できる

The advantage of the parking owner is that it can significantly reduce the installation costs of the existing equipment.There is no need to introduce a checker or flap board because the driver's cashless payment is possible.Services that do not cost any equipment costs, such as AKIPPA, are not charged for coin parking just by registering a parking lot.

4. 道路の混雑緩和、違法駐車の削減

With the spread of smart parking, drivers do not need to find a vacant parking lot while driving.As a result, the number of cars searching for parking will be reduced, reducing road congestion.It can also be expected to reduce illegal parking.

Disadvantages of smart parking

1. 導入コスト

It costs the cost of introducing a "smart parking mechanism".

On the other hand, in the case of a coin parking in Japan, the data will be published on the Internet for parking lots that originally have a familiar system, "Check that the sensor was in stock and raise the flap board".If possible, it is possible to go to smart parking, so it seems to contribute to reducing the cost of introduction.

2. 運用保守メンテナンス

In the past, new devices such as communication equipment and sensors, which were not necessary for conservative maintenance, will occur.As a result, new skills are required for maintenance personnel.

Case of smart parking

The introduction of smart parking has also revealed areas with specific effects.

バルセロナ市

In Barcelona, Spain, which is becoming an IoT of cities, a smart parking meter that covers the entire city is set up in the city, and parking information is provided in real time.

The Mercise Festival is held every year in Barcelona, where 2 million people gather, and is also used to consider which facility to install this information.

中国

In China, Tencents and Alibaba are working to solve parking problems.

Tencent can make use of WeChat, enter a car number in the app while shopping at the shopping center, and pay an electronic payment to make a parking fee.

At the time of the car in the car, the sensor camera and the AI camera also understand the car number, models, and colors, and check them in a complex way to match the registered content in advance.

Alibaba has realized smart parking in Hangzhou.Not only can you make reservations for parking lots using apps, but you can automatically settle by linking car numbers and drivers.

サンフランシスコ

In the United States of the car society, the city of San Francisco is demonstrating large -scale smart parking.It has been announced that a parking sensor has been installed in 20,000 parking spaces, and the time for searching for the driver's parking has been reduced by half.

Points of smart parking comparison

Here, we will tell you the points of comparison of smart parking solutions for parking owners.

駐車スペースの台数

The larger the number of parking spaces, the easier it is to park, so it is one criterion of which company services to choose.

ゲートウェイの設置

It is necessary to confirm whether the facilities installed in the smart parking are "needed for a gateway for short-range communication of WiFi or Bluetooth" or "NB-Iot with long-range communication and does not require gateway."

In the case of a gateway installation, I want to check if it is a solar power generation or a power supply work.Also, check how many batteries have each sensor.

設置工事

In the case of a smart parking that checks the delivery with a sensor or camera, somehow installation work is required.

If it is difficult to get the installation cost, you may want to choose a type that can be completed only by registering the web or a color cone.

かかるコスト、オーナーへの支払い

The first point is to check if it costs initial costs and running costs.

On top of that, when lending a parking lot to the driver, the price paid from the company to the parking lot owner is different, so I would like to check each company.

AI活用

Smart parking does not have physical locks like coin parking, so it may be fraudulent.

In order to prevent such fraud, it is one way to consider services that use AI that can detect parking vehicles and authenticate license plate.

展開エリア

You need to check if the service is spreading in the area you want to develop.
