Video Search System Status and Prospect Analysis

In May 2011, China's first video search system successfully entered Taipei’s first six-star parking lot, the Taipei Three Army General Hospital parking lot, marking that the domestic reverse car search system has entered the era of intelligent automatic car search. To date, the video car search system has been on the market for two to three years, and it is gradually known and adopted by the people. With its diversity of functions, full intelligence and humanity, the car search system provides great convenience for the owners to return to the car to find cars. It has won widespread recognition and praise from the majority of vehicle owners and parking lot operators, and has thus occupied an important place in the parking guidance market.

I. Background and introduction of the video car search system In recent years, under the drive of continuous increase in the number of car ownership in the country, slow parking in parking lots, difficulty in finding cars, and increasing demand for public safety order, the parking lot is driven by Reverse car search system came into being, and experienced the development course from scratch, from artificial to automatic, from traditional to intelligent. When difficulties arise in finding a car, the parking operators often use manual search to help the owner find the car. This approach consumes both manpower and operating costs, and was soon replaced by a swipe card search.

The card-finding car greatly reduces the management cost, but it still requires the owner to actively swipe the card, so its practical application effect is not very practical and convenient. Nowadays, with the increasing development of the Internet of Things technology, the local local company, Ketuo, first put forward the concept of “video search vehicle” and invested capital and technical strength. It successfully combined parking guidance technology with video search technology and developed the world’s first full set. Automatic video search system - parking lot to find a car machine. The birth of this system makes the machine to replace the manual car search is no longer a dream, its ability to fully automatic vehicle positioning without the characteristics of artificial memory is of great significance in solving the difficult problem of finding a car.

Video car search system is the most advanced car parking reverse search system in China. It uses domestic leading video image processing technology and license plate recognition technology to automatically capture car parking information and store it in the server. When the owner returns to the car to find a car, simply enter the license plate number in the car search query terminal, and the system can display the current position of the car owner and the position of the vehicle, and give the optimal route to the parking spot. If the owner forgets the license plate number or is uncertain, he can select the time zone search method, and the system will give all vehicle information parked in the parking lot for selection during the same time period. In addition, the system also has a parking guidance function, a LED parking space guidance screen that can display the number of free parking spaces in the current parking lot, and a red and green parking space indicator installed above each parking space (red light indicates that the parking space has parked the vehicle. The green light indicates that the parking space is an empty parking lot) and other equipment, which leads the owner to quickly find an empty parking space for parking the vehicle.

II. Market application scope of video car search system The market application of video car search system is divided into four categories according to fields, mainly including: first, property management fields such as shopping malls, large supermarkets, and commercial real estate; and secondly, transportation areas such as train stations and airports. Third, sports venues, attractions, playgrounds, convention centers, and other public places; Fourth, government agencies, hospitals and other institutions. According to the scale, it mainly includes three types: large-, medium- and small-sized. The main ones are airports and convention centers. The medium-sized ones are mainly commercial real estate, stadiums, playgrounds, etc. The small ones are mainly hospitals. In different places, their parking lot design, traffic flow, and user characteristics are all different. The functional requirements and application modes of the video search system also have their own characteristics.

Commercial places: The most demanding, most used shopping malls, shopping malls, large supermarkets, commercial real estate and other commercial venues have always been one of the key markets for parking management systems, and they are also the markets where video search systems are most used. Most of these places include shopping malls, pedestrian malls, hotels, office buildings, apartments and many other items. They combine shopping, dining, leisure, entertainment, business and other functions. They are generally located in downtown areas or in densely populated areas, and have a large parking area. With more parking spaces and more demand for parking, the problem of finding a car is also more serious. Especially on weekends and holidays, it is often more difficult to find a car and find a car. This has affected the customer satisfaction and image of the site. Therefore, in order to create a good shopping and consumption environment, to better meet the various needs of customers, and to increase the popularity of places, site operators usually do not hesitate to introduce advanced, intelligent parking system equipment to provide customers with convenient and efficient Parking, car search services.

At present, well-known examples of video search systems used in commercial venues include Beijing Qianmen Street, Chongqing Kuixing Tower, Xiamen Huli Wanda Plaza and Jimei Wanda Plaza. With the rapid development of domestic commercial real estate, it is believed that the demand for video search vehicles in this field will surely continue to increase, and the requirements for the functional diversity, user-friendliness and aesthetic appearance of video search systems will also continue to increase. improve.

Airports, Railway Stations: Key areas Airports, railway stations, and other transportation hubs are densely populated and have a large amount of traffic. The traffic volume is also large. The parking capacity and management level of the supporting parking lots are relatively high, so it has always been the focus of video search system manufacturers. field. The parking lot of the transportation hub is generally large-scale, and it mainly serves people who drive to transportation hubs to transport relatives and friends. The peak period of traffic flow is closely related to the frequency of flights and trains. In order to hurry, people often enter the parking lot to find an empty parking space. When they stop the car, they rush to leave. They do not pay much attention to the parking location of the vehicle. Therefore, it often takes a lot of time to return to the car to find a car.

Compared with other fields, the transportation hubs of airports and railway stations are highly valued by the convenience of finding vehicles for video search systems, and there are not many requirements for the appearance of the system. The successful cases in this field include the Hankou Railway Station. The Hankou Railway Station has set up a video search system next to the central toll area of ​​its parking lot as an auxiliary tool for its toll management to speed up the vehicle turnover in the parking lot and enhance the parking lot. The level of management.

Hospital: The time is that the life hospital has many patients and visiting families who come to the clinic every day. The traffic volume is large and the number of parking spaces is limited. At the same time, there is no effective parking guidance, which makes the problem of difficult parking and difficulty in finding a car. When a patient goes to a doctor, he often becomes anxious and anxious because he is concerned about his physical condition. The owner of this state is unlikely to actively remember where he parked the car, so that when they return to the yard after the visit Only by walking back and forth in densely populated vehicle groups will it be possible to deepen the patient's negative emotions to a certain extent, and waiting too long may also increase the inconvenience and pain of patients.

Based on this actual demand, more and more hospitals are now paying attention to and realizing the importance of introducing an advanced video car-finding system, and they have begun to try and practice smart parking technology in an effort to change the difficulty of parking and the difficulty in finding a car. status quo. For example, Xiamen Zhongshan Hospital carried out an intelligent reconstruction of its Jiaheyuan parking lot and adopted a video search system to optimize its parking resources.

Conclusion:

In general, the management system in the future parking lot must be developed in the direction of intelligence and video. The video car-finding system, as an important part of the intelligent parking management system, is also bound to be more widely used in the market. . It is worth mentioning that, in order to meet the requirements of smart parking management, system integration, and improve the profitability of products, major manufacturers are increasing the research and development of the video search system to improve product quality and performance. With the continuous emergence of new technologies and the continuous increase in the technological content of new products, the video car-finding system will inevitably drive the upgrading and further development of the products of the entire reverse car search industry.
