2. Description of the Related Art In general, various devices are known as illegal parking preventing devices for eliminating illegal parking or annoying parking (for example, JP-A-4-216200 or JP-A-5-20553). .

In an apparatus described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 4-216200 (hereinafter referred to as "prior art 1"), parking conditions on a road are photographed by an ITV camera, and a license plate of a vehicle is read from this image. At a predetermined time interval, the parking situation is photographed again, the license plate of the vehicle is read, and the vehicle number (license plate) obtained in the previous photography is compared with the license plate obtained in the current photography. If they match, it is determined that the parking is illegal.
Then, the offending parking situation (offending parking image information) is stored and an alarm is issued.

On the other hand, in the device described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-205553 (hereinafter referred to as Conventional Technique 2), when a vehicle is detected by a vehicle detection sensor, a vehicle detection signal is sent from the vehicle detection sensor to a parking discrimination circuit. Given. When the vehicle detection signal continues for a predetermined time or more,
The parking determination circuit determines that the vehicle is parked, emits a warning light, and emits a warning sound.

[0005]

The prior art 1
In the apparatus described in the above, an ITV camera, a loudspeaker, and the like are fixedly provided, and the image processing performed on an image captured by the ITV camera not only complicates the configuration of the apparatus but also increases the size of the apparatus itself. There is a problem that it is.

In addition, since both of the prior arts 1 and 2 are configured to simply emit a warning sound or the like when the vehicle is parked continuously for a preset time, the warning sound or the like is gradually used.
As a result, the warning sound and the like are ignored. As a result, there is a problem that the effect of deterring illegal parking is reduced.

An object of the present invention is to provide an illegal parking prevention system capable of appropriately preventing illegal parking.

[0008]

According to the present invention, there is provided a detecting device for detecting a parking offending vehicle and transmitting the position of the parking offending vehicle on a map as position code information. A center station which is provided as a code, receives the position code information, searches for a police officer code near the parking offending vehicle in accordance with the arrangement information and the position code information, and sends out the police officer code and the position code information. And a terminal device for displaying the position code information when the controller code matches the own device code.

[0009] The terminal device has a response function for returning a response to the center station when the position of the parking violation vehicle is confirmed in accordance with the position code. If the response is not received even after the elapse, another controller code near the parking offending vehicle is searched.

[0010] The detection device is movable, and the detection device detects the position of its own device by, for example, a GPS system, and generates the position code information according to the position of its own device.

[0011]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, the illustrated illegal parking prevention system includes a vehicle detection device 1, a central office 2, and a plurality of terminal devices 3. The vehicle detection device 1 is mounted on, for example, a moving object (automobile) and is movable as needed. The vehicle detection device 1 includes a self-position confirmation device 11,
The central office 2 includes a vehicle detection sensor (optical sensor) 12 and a transmission device 13. The central office 2 includes reception devices 21 and 22, a central processing unit 23, and a transmission device 24.

When cracking down on illegal parking, the vehicle detection device 1 is moved to the parking violation area, and the vehicle detection sensor 12 is positioned above (or to the side of) the parking violation area.

Here, referring also to FIG. 2, assuming that the parking violation area is divided into areas A to D as shown in the figure, the vehicle detection sensor 12 is scanned into the areas A to D, It is confirmed whether or not the vehicle is parked in region D. As a result, when a parked vehicle is recognized, the vehicle detection sensor 12 sends a vehicle detection signal.

The own position confirmation device 11 receives, for example, radio waves from GPS satellites, detects the position of the vehicle detection device 1 and outputs position information (position code) in which map information is encoded. . The position information and the vehicle detection signal are provided to the transmitting device 13 (Step s1). Upon receiving the vehicle detection signal, the transmitting device 13 transmits a parking violation information signal (step s2). This parking violation information signal includes position information and a vehicle detection signal.

In the central office 2, the receiving device 21 receives the parking violation information signal, and the parking violation information signal is sent to the central processing unit 2.
3 (step s3). In a memory (not shown) attached to the central processing unit 23, map information is set in advance, and arrangement information (for example, police box arrangement information) of the director is set.

Upon receiving the parking violation information signal, the central processing unit 23 specifies and codes the position of the parking violation vehicle on the map based on the above-mentioned position information, and the enforcement officer disposed near this specific position. Is retrieved from the memory (step s4). After that, the central processing unit 23 sends out the enforcement officer code and the offense parking vehicle position information from the transmission device 24 (step s5). Then, the central processing unit 23 waits for a response from the terminal device 3. That is, it is determined whether or not the illegally parked vehicle position information has been received (step s).
6).

If there is no response even after the preset time has elapsed, the central processing unit 23 determines that the offending parking vehicle position information has not been received, and again determines that the offending parking vehicle has been placed near the offending parking vehicle. Is retrieved (step s7), and the transmitting device 24 sends out the police officer code and the offending parked vehicle position information.

The terminal device 3 has a display and a response function. Further, a specific code is assigned to each of the terminal devices 3.

The terminal device 3 displays the offense parking vehicle position information on a display based on the offense parking vehicle position information when the controller code matches the own device specific code. Then, the enforcement officer checks the position of the offending parking vehicle by comparing the offending parking vehicle position information with the predetermined memory map information. When the position of the offending parking vehicle is confirmed, the response to the central office 2 is that the position of the offending parking vehicle has been received by the response function. This response is provided to the central processing unit 23 via the receiving device 24.

When the enforcement officer confirms the position of the offending parking vehicle, he or she rushes to the site to take action (processing) for the offending parking vehicle (step s8). A notification to the effect that the processing of the parked vehicle has been completed is transmitted to the central office 2 (step s9).

In the above-described embodiment, when a vehicle is detected in the parking violation area, a violation vehicle detection signal is sent to the central office. However, the vehicle detection sensor performs a plurality of scans at predetermined time intervals. Then, when the detection is performed a plurality of times, the offending vehicle detection signal may be sent to the central office. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the position of the offending parking vehicle is checked by comparing the offending parking vehicle position information with the predetermined memory map information, but a map is displayed on the display, and the map is displayed on this map. The position of the offending parking vehicle may be displayed based on the offending parking vehicle position information.

[0023]

As described above, according to the present invention, when there is a parking offending vehicle, the position information of the offending vehicle coded based on the map information is sent to the center station, and the center station responds to the offending vehicle position information. Thus, the position of the offending vehicle is notified to the enforcement officer in the vicinity of the offending vehicle, so that there is an effect that the offending parking can be effectively controlled.

Further, because the enforcement officer performs the parking violation processing, there is an effect that the effect of suppressing the parking violation is improved as compared with the case where the warning sound is simply generated.
