Description

A Vehicle Lift Locker and Control Method thereof The present invention relates to a vehicle lift locker and a driving method thereof for managing whether to allow passage of a vehicle for parking management of a vehicle parked in an unmanned on-street parking lot, and more specifically, to a vehicle lift locker for a vehicle parked in an on-street parking lot of a road (R) and a driving method thereof for managing whether to allow parking or exit of a vehicle parked in an on-street parking lot of a road (R) by determining whether to pay a parking fee from a parking fee payment machine within a parking management device for unmanned management of an on-street parking lot of a road (R) and controlling the vehicle lift locker, composed of a motor and a rail under the parked vehicle, to be driven to raise or lower, thereby managing whether to allow parking or exit of a vehicle parked in an on-street parking lot. The general parking management method for on-street parking lots on roads (R) involves mobilizing parking attendants; however, this method of employing parking attendants results in increased fixed costs because the effective management area per attendant is extremely limited. Furthermore, there is a very high possibility of disputes over parking fee setting by attendants and fraud arising from cash collection. In addition to the traditional on-street parking management method that mobilizes manpower, a meter-based parking management system has been developed to solve the problem of collection corruption by installing a parking meter in each parking space to enable automatic calculation of parking fees based on the parking time of each vehicle and daily settlement. In addition, the method involves a parking attendant issuing a parking ticket to the owner of a vehicle when a vehicle is parked in an area designated as a parking zone within the on-street parking system, and the owner then returns after completing their business, settles the parking fee with the attendant, and leaves the parking zone. This method could not fundamentally prevent issues of corruption in the collection of parking fees by attendants in on-street parking lots and controversies regarding the calculation of parking fees, and had the disadvantage of causing an increase in fixed costs for attendants because the effective parking zone per attendant was extremely limited. Therefore, when paid parking lots are operated in on-street parking lots, unmanned on-street parking systems are becoming more common to suppress collection irregularities that occur during the process of existing parking attendants being stationed to collect parking fees, to ensure more transparent parking fee management, and to allow parking vehicles to conveniently pay parking fees, and more demand is expected in the future. Recently, to address these shortcomings, Aegis Locker has been developed and is currently in operation as an unmanned on-street parking system that manages parking without a manager. Meanwhile, such conventional Aegis lockers are configured to include a lift mechanism for raising and lowering vehicles to perform locking. This lift configuration for raising and lowering must be installed below the floor surface by the height of the raising and lowering. Consequently, when installing Aegis lockers, not only is the cost of excavation work on the parking floor of the on-street parking lot significantly increased, but there is also the disadvantage of a significant increase in the cost of the lift configuration for raising and lowering. Accordingly, there is an urgent need to develop a vehicle lift locker for on-street parking lots that simplifies the configuration of the locker for parking management and significantly reduces excavation costs.
