After the reform and opening up, China rapidly grew into the world's third largest automobile producer and second largest automobile consumer, and the demand for parking lots gradually increased. According to authoritative data, as of the end of 2006, the number of cars in China had exceeded 35 million, with private car ownership reaching 29.25 million, of which 60% were new cars within 4 years. After 2010, the number of cars in China will reach around 56 million, and the annual growth rate of cars will be increasing at a rate of 50% to 80%. This has led to the phenomenon of 50% of cars being parked haphazardly, accompanied by parking problems such as limited parking spaces and difficult parking. The shortage of parking spaces is evident. The parking lot management system has become an indispensable part of promoting urban development.

As is well known, parking lot management systems can effectively manage the order of parking lots, promote the utilization rate of limited parking spaces, and alleviate parking difficulties. Therefore, their demand will continue to rise. According to the data from the "Research on the Segmented Market of China's Import and Export Control and Management System from 2006 to 2014 and the Deep Research Report on the Competitiveness of Key Enterprises", He analyzed that the market size of parking lots in 2009, 2010, and 2011 was 1.15 billion yuan, 1.45 billion yuan, and 1.8 billion yuan respectively. It is preliminarily estimated that by the end of 2014, the demand for parking lots in China will exceed 3.7 billion yuan and is expected to reach 4 billion yuan. Intelligent parking lot is a modern parking lot that can solve problems encountered by people during the parking process, such as difficulty in finding a car, slow traffic speed, and single payment methods, fully meeting people's practical needs. Solving parking difficulties is one of the earliest important links included in the solution system.

The application field of parking lot management system equipment is very wide, and various large or super large commercial paid parking lots (airports, sports stadiums, exhibition centers), small and medium-sized commercial paid parking lots (hotels, office buildings, shopping malls, theater supporting facilities), residential parking lots, etc. in China have corresponding applications, and different parking lots have different requirements for system software and hardware. The traditional parking lot management system only solves the problem of entrance and exit control, and is unable to provide functions such as parking guidance, finding cars, and quick entry and exit within the parking lot. In addition, there are also problems such as a single payment method, low manual management efficiency, and loopholes in the charging process, let alone the overall system integration and resource optimization of the parking lot.

Whether the difficulty of parking can be effectively solved not only concerns the vital interests of car owners, but also serves as a barometer for the progress of urban civilization construction. The solution is nothing more than opening up sources and reducing costs. For our country, which is in short supply of land resources, reducing costs is fundamental and what we are doing. We know that throttling is the optimization of resource allocation. In this regard, the full video smart parking solution has outstanding performance in improving parking lot utilization, reducing the number of parked vehicles on the road, reducing harmful gas emissions from vehicles, and achieving the rational utilization of limited resources.

From car owners entering the parking lot quickly without taking a card, to LED parking guidance screens and indicator lights helping to find empty parking spaces, to returning to the parking lot and entering the license plate number on the query machine to quickly find a car, as well as convenient payment, a series of integrated processes enjoy a relaxed and comfortable parking experience. All of these are smart parking lots working to improve and solve the problem of parking difficulties.

The intelligent parking lot system has raised higher requirements for parking lot management personnel, and some problems with parking lot systems are often caused by improper operation by management personnel. In fact, intelligent parking lots not only facilitate car owners, but also enable parking lot operators to manage the parking lot. The development direction of parking lots will move towards unmanned operation, and all maintenance work will be outsourced to experienced technical support companies.

In terms of usage, all applications of intelligent parking lots should be foolproof, which means they can provide convenience for drivers, managers, and owners at the same time, improve the efficiency of parking lot work, avoid manual management loopholes, and save labor costs.

The application of intelligent parking lot system in residential areas is significant

The intelligent parking system in residential communities is still a new thing, and there is currently no unified national standard.

The scale of residential communities varies greatly. Small households may range from 200 to 300, while large households may range from several thousand. Generally, 1000 households are used as the boundary. Taking 1000 households as the base, considering a 30% proportion of private cars and leaving 20% of development space, 500 cars are relatively moderate. Due to the varying economic conditions of residential consumer groups, the ownership rate of private cars is also extremely uneven. From a development perspective, it is unpredictable to what extent it will reach in the future. So, we can only rely on the designs made by current real estate developers. In this sense, managing 1000 vehicles can meet the practical needs of the vast majority of residential areas in China.

The functional characteristics of the community parking lot management system:

The system has strong practicality, with multiple types of billing settings for vehicles, including VIP users, fixed users, monthly rental users, stored value users, temporary users, and other payment methods to meet the needs of different levels; Unique with central toll collection function (solving parking lots with high traffic volume)

Intelligent image comparison system, realizing unmanned entrance and automatic camera, comparing vehicle models and license plate images at entrances and exits, effectively preventing theft of vehicles;

High degree of automation, automatic detection and issuance of cards for temporary vehicles, ensuring that one card is issued for each vehicle. Computer voice prompts, help intercom, equipped with high brightness LED display screens in both Chinese and English, digital display screens, automatic parking space statistics, full space prompts, temporary vehicle computer billing and display, hardware equipment fault self check;

Strict fee and audit management, adopting multi-level permission control design to prevent human modification of fee data and eliminate any form of fee errors;

Advanced ticket card encryption and anti-counterfeiting technology, smart cards have unique read and write characteristics and security strategies, making them highly capable of anti-counterfeiting and self-protection, suitable for various indoor and outdoor environments, reliable and durable, and the system has IC card loss reporting and uncoupling functions.
