Description

Parking Control Apparatus and the Operating Method Thereof The present invention relates to a parking control device and a method of operation thereof. Recently, there has been an increasing adoption of parking control systems that install parking barriers at parking lot entrances and control the entry and exit of vehicles in conjunction with these barriers. Typically, parking barriers are equipped with a barrier bar that remains in a lowered state under normal circumstances. When a vehicle wishes to enter the parking lot, the barrier is released by raising the bar, thereby allowing the vehicle to enter. Furthermore, with the recent advancement of AI-based license plate recognition technology, parking barriers are often equipped with license plate recognition modules. When a vehicle attempts to enter a parking lot, the barrier recognizes the license plate number via the module; if the recognized number matches a registered number, the barrier is raised to perform parking control. However, in existing parking control systems, there was no separate system to control the entry of vehicles attempting to enter the parking lot when their license plate number was not a registered one. This resulted in inconveniences, such as the vehicle being unable to enter the parking lot at all or the driver having to call the management office directly to speak with a parking manager in order to enter. In this regard, the introduction of parking control technology can be considered to allow vehicles that are not previously registered as eligible for parking to enter a parking lot of a multi-unit building if the visiting unit is confirmed. This is achieved by verifying which unit the driver intends to visit and taking measures to allow the vehicle to enter the parking lot once the visiting unit is confirmed. FIG. 1 is a drawing illustrating the structure of a parking control device according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating the operation method of a parking control device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
