Overview of the 4G Smart Parking Lot System

Composition of the Parking Lot Management System

The parking lot management system comprises a server, upper computer software, card readers, 4G wireless data transmission modules, 4G industrial routers, smart barriers, and license plate recognition systems.

1. Server: Provides database services for the management system and processes data from various devices.
2. Upper Computer Software: Processes various data of the parking lot management system on the server side, such as monitoring screen display, uploading captured images, and remote control.
3. Card Reader: Responsible for reading vehicle information.
4. 4G Industrial Router: Responsible for forwarding 4G network signals and uploading data from the server to the server side.
5. License Plate Recognition System: Obtains vehicle information through cameras and identifies license plates.
6. Barrier: The barrier control device transmits barrier control signals to the management center.
7. Server: Manages the entire system and monitors the working status of each device.

Functions of the Parking Lot Management System

1. License Plate Recognition: Identifies the license plates of entering and exiting vehicles, quickly identifies vehicle information, and records the license plate number and entry/exit time in the server.
2. Automatic Fee Calculation: The parking lot management system automatically calculates the fee amount through the license plate recognition system and prints the fee receipt.
3. Multi-Computer Network Management: Supports multiple parking lots and achieves data sharing.
4. Multiple Payment Methods: Implements parking fee payments through networks, wired, and wireless methods, automatically generating vehicle entry/exit records.
5. Manual and Automatic Modes: Supports one card per vehicle, allowing entry/exit with a single card swipe.
6. Powerful Query Functions: Enables queries for vehicle information, payment records, and IC card balances.
7. Real-Time Information Dissemination: Provides vehicle entry/exit information through SMS and mobile apps.

4G Industrial Router Parking Lot IoT Application

1. Quick Vehicle Search: At the entrance of the parking lot, geomagnetic sensing devices automatically recognize the license plate, allowing vehicles to quickly enter the parking lot without manual fee collection, reducing the labor intensity of staff.
2. Vehicle Management: At the entrance of the parking lot, automatic license plate recognition devices manage vehicles entering the parking lot.
3. Data Collection: Collects, analyzes, and provides data reports on vehicle passage records, offering decision support for relevant departments.
4. Real-Time Monitoring: Achieves real-time monitoring of the parking lot through the network, reporting and recording suspicious situations.
5. Abnormal Alarm: When an abnormal event occurs in the parking lot, the system promptly issues an alarm to notify the administrator.
6. Data Analysis: Helps administrators understand the operational status of vehicles in the parking lot through data analysis functions.

The parking lot management system primarily focuses on vehicle entry/exit and billing, considering the time intervals for vehicle passage and payment. The 4G industrial router transmits data such as license plate information, entry/exit records, and parking duration to the parking system. The parking lot management system uses the 4G industrial router for remote management, improving the operational efficiency of the parking lot.
