With the development of the Internet of Things and cloud computing technology, in the context of big data, the rapid development of technology and the promotion of market capital have put forward new requirements for the parking industry. The development of cloud services has promoted the development of artificial intelligence parking, building a smart parking cloud platform, using the Internet platform thinking, through the sharing and exchange of digital information, to achieve optimal allocation of resources, and to solve urban problems without breaking the original profit distribution mechanism. The problem of smart parking is difficult. So what is the development stage of the smart parking cloud platform?
1. The stage of people looking for a parking space
The stage of people looking for a parking space generally exists in traditional parking lots. At this stage, car owners are completely passive consumers and cannot experience the convenience of smart parking at all. Moreover, most of them only support cash payment for parking fees, which is very inconvenient. Manual metering and billing are prone to errors. Conflicts between car owners and parking lots are easy to occur, and it is extremely easy to cause parking difficulties.
2. Informatization stage of parking lot
In the parking lot informatization stage, the parking lot can only provide some simple data display, such as the parking lot LED display to display the number of free parking spaces in the parking lot and parking charges. Most of the parking lot payment methods have begun to support parking swiping card payment, and the billing time has also begun to be informatized. This stage of realizing real-time parking space informatization in the parking lot and helping car owners to make parking decisions is still in use in many parking lots.
3. Value-added service stage
The value-added service stage includes functions such as indoor car search and self-service payment, providing value-added services for car owners; this stage can realize functions such as non-stop charging, self-service payment, and vehicle navigation, which is a necessary stage for the development of smart parking. The car owner can realize the induced parking in the parking lot, and can also query the vacant parking spaces in real time, reserve parking spaces online and other new functions, which effectively alleviates the problem of difficult parking in the city.
4. Smart parking cloud platform stage
The development of cloud services has made parking begin to break through the limitations of time and space, breaking the regionalization of urban parking, and opening up the process of Internet-based parking in a city or a region. It connects the urban transportation network and completes the high integration of static and dynamic traffic big data. Using the Internet of Things and cloud technology to manage parking lots in different locations based on the smart parking cloud platform, and centrally summarize the scattered data to realize functions such as parking space reservation, self-service payment, parking space navigation, etc., and improve the service and management level of the parking lot. It provides functions such as remote supervision, decision support, statistical analysis and data presentation to alleviate the problem of urban parking difficulties.
