ングメータがあることを示している。Referring to FIG. 4, there is shown an example in which parking meters installed along the street are vacant or occupied, and among parking meters a to k, f, h, j, and
And k indicate an empty state, and the others indicate a state with parking. As described above, each parking meter sends information indicating each empty / occupied state to the information processing device 2,
The information processing device 2 sends the information to each parking meter as shown in FIG.
The information for the display is sent so that the guidance display as shown in FIG.
That is, although the car 11 searching for a parking place cannot directly see that there is a vacant parking meter in the vicinity, the car 11 moves in the direction indicated by the pattern of FIG. 5 displayed on the parking meters a, b, c,. By proceeding, it is possible to reach the empty parking meter h, j, k or f. Since the parking meters f, h, j, and k are vacant, nothing is displayed as shown in FIG. In addition, the display method on the display unit is not limited to the traveling direction for route guidance, but if the distance to the vacant parking meter is long as shown in Fig. 6, it can be used by displaying the number indicating the approximate distance together Is more convenient for people. FIG. 6 shows an example of this, and shows that there is an empty parking meter about 50 m ahead when turning left at the next corner, and about 80 m ahead when going straight ahead.
