Video guidance and reverse car search system

Project Overview
The new generation of guidance and car search system is a multifunctional business system for intelligent parking lot management. It integrates multiple patented technologies and adopts multiple IT high-tech technologies, such as video encoding and decoding technology, embedded system technology, storage technology, network technology, intelligent technology, and pattern recognition technology. The system is widely used for business needs such as intelligent parking lot management, parking guidance, and reverse car search.
Background and Challenges
With the rapid increase in car ownership, the contradiction between urban cars and parking spaces has become increasingly prominent. In cities where every inch of land is valuable, underground parking lots and multi-level above ground parking lots, which occupy less land and have larger capacity, are becoming the main means of alleviating urban parking pressure. However, unfortunately, most of the on-site parking lots in China are still in the primitive stage of manual management, which has caused great difficulties for both car owners who need to park and parking lot operators.
The urgent problems that need to be solved in the current parking lot are:
1. After entering the parking lot, the car owner doesn't know where there are available parking spaces;
2. When the car owner returns to the parking lot to pick up the car, they cannot find their beloved vehicle in a timely manner;
3. When common parking scratches or even broken windows occur in the parking lot, it is difficult to immediately identify the source of responsibility;
4. Managers cannot obtain real-time information on the occupancy of parking spaces in the parking lot, resulting in low utilization of the parking lot;
5. During peak hours, managers need to dispatch a large number of staff for manual guidance, which is inefficient and costly;
6. Managers are unable to collect real-time usage data of parking spaces within the parking lot.
In response to the above challenges, a parking guidance and reverse car search system has been specially developed. By using this system, the intelligence and informatization level of the entire parking lot can be improved, and problems that originally required manual processing can be handled by intelligent devices, which not only saves a lot of labor costs but also ensures the timely, accurate, and effective processing of various data. By enhancing the car owner experience, car owners are more likely to have a good impression of the entire parking lot.

Solution

system architecture
The system adopts a 1.3 million high-definition parking space integrated machine to monitor the real-time status information of parking spaces. The parking space integrated machine transmits the data information to multiple video terminals for processing, identifies the parking space status and license plate information, and transmits these information to the server for unified management.
The server will send the updated data of the processed empty parking spaces to the LED parking guidance screen for display, thereby achieving the parking guidance function.
When the car owner inputs their car license plate through the parking query machine installed at the entrance of the parking lot, the touch screen will receive the command and retrieve the data from the server, and display the map of the parking lot where the car owner is currently located on the screen. The map will indicate the car owner's location and the location where their vehicle is parked, and select the best pick-up route based on the overall route of the parking lot to display on the parking lot map, thereby guiding the car owner to pick up the car.

System Features
1. No need to swipe card, simple and convenient
Compared to traditional card swiping car search systems, this system does not require a dedicated card swipe after parking, avoiding the embarrassment of car owners forgetting to swipe their card due to subjective factors and causing the car search function to fail.
2. Detection indication, combined into one
The system adopts a parking integrated machine, which can monitor the occupancy of parking spaces in real time and display the occupancy of parking spaces in real time. The system can provide high-definition video recordings of all parking spaces, which can curb the most common parking scratches, window smashing and other phenomena in the parking lot, and achieve the best parking safety guarantee.
3. Fault isolation, alarm self check
A brand new system architecture, the parking guidance system has a fault isolation mechanism. When any device in the system malfunctions, it only affects itself and does not affect other devices. At the same time, the system management center periodically monitors the status of the devices. When encountering a device malfunction, an alarm signal will be generated, which facilitates the quick location of the faulty device and maintenance. Greatly enhancing the reliability and stability of the entire system.
4. Fuzzy query, image confirmation
The system supports fuzzy query function. After the user inputs the license plate number, the system will provide multiple sets of vehicle pictures or video clips similar to the license plate number for the owner to choose and confirm, greatly increasing the effectiveness of the query and making it simple and direct.
5. Electronic map, optimal route
After the user confirms the vehicle image, the system will provide a flat map of the current parking lot and draw the optimal route from the current query point to the target vehicle parking location, making it convenient for car owners to quickly and accurately find their beloved vehicle.
6. Touch experience, novel and gorgeous
This terminal adopts a touch screen as the display interface, which can complete all operations without physical buttons, allowing you to enjoy the thrill of technology.
7. Clear imaging, accurate identification
The parking spot recognizer adopts the latest video technology, with clear and natural imaging effects and high resolution. Combined with efficient video recognition software, vehicle license plate numbers can be quickly and accurately identified.
8. Patent appearance, beautiful and elegant
The parking spot recognizer adopts a conch shaped exterior design, surrounded by indicator lights, which can integrate well with the underground parking lot environment. Even if installed in large quantities, it is still neat and elegant.
