Parking lock system combining automatic license plate recognition and ultrasonic sensors
This technology is a parking lock system that controls parking by automatically reading license plates. It consists of a ground-fixed base, a sloped cover, an upper body equipped with ultrasonic distance sensors and digital cameras, and a lower body featuring an eSIM communication module.
Existing open parking spaces are difficult to manage efficiently because users must visit without prior reservation or confirmation, and managers are required to manually identify each vehicle.
By using ultrasonic distance sensors and cameras to automatically detect vehicle approach and recognize license plates, and by controlling the lock via mobile communication networks, this technology can be applied to resident-priority and shared parking services to handle everything from search to payment without human intervention.
Key Features:
- An upper and lower body structure equipped with a communication module linked to mobile networks, featuring a sloped design that distributes weight to prevent bending even if a vehicle's tire rolls over the top edge.
- A monitoring system for incoming vehicles using four ultrasonic distance sensors mounted on the front, rear, left, and right sides of the upper body, along with two digital cameras on the front and rear.
- A location-based map configuration where, once a user selects a parking spot, it appears as a black icon only on their mobile map and disappears from the screens of other users.
- A system that automatically captures license plate images, transmits them to a character recognition server, and processes parking fees automatically using the payment card registered to the identified number.
