The existing public bicycle leasing system is controlled by adopting a pile position, a machine station and a bicycle locking pile are arranged at a bicycle leasing station, a bicycle is pushed into the bicycle locking pile when returning, a bicycle locking device is arranged inside the bicycle locking pile, a bicycle is identified and locked, and the bicycle returning information is sent to the machine station for management. Such a system has a number of drawbacks: (1) land resources: the arrangement of the taxi renting stations requires large-area open land blocks, land resources are very short in cities, particularly subway stations or commercial district positions with high pedestrian flow are in the order of inch of land, but the taxi locking piles need to be arranged at intervals with bicycles, so that more parking spaces are occupied, and the bicycle parking density of the taxi renting stations is reduced. (2) User experience during peak hours: usually, the peak of going to and going to work is also the peak used by public bicycles, and the bicycle borrowing and returning are all completed through the locking pile positions, and after a renter rides to a destination, if the spare locking pile positions are not available, the renter cannot return the bicycle, so that the emergency is very urgent; the system can only remotely call service personnel for manual intervention or vehicle allocation, and the service personnel are the most busy time during working, so that the system is usually careless, the user satisfaction is greatly reduced, the vehicle locking pile becomes a bottleneck which cannot be exceeded in service, and the labor cost of operation and maintenance is increased. (3) Cost: the vehicle locking pile occupies the largest proportion in the construction cost of a vehicle renting system, and a large amount of steel resources are consumed for manufacturing the vehicle locking pile and fixing a bottom plate of the vehicle locking pile, so that the energy consumption and the environmental protection are involved, and the construction and maintenance cost of a public bicycle system is directly increased. In fact, most public bicycles are provided with vehicle locks such as electric control locks or mechanical locks, and the locks are mainly used for locking the bicycle during temporary parking after renting and riding, and the locks on the lock posts are used for locking the bicycle instead of being used during returning at a station, so that the lock is repeatedly constructed. In view of the above, from the viewpoint of economy and environmental protection, a bicycle parking management system and method are in urgent need of improvement for the current public bicycles.

With this arrangement, the vehicle must be accurately parked according to the ground indication, and if it is parked in the reverse direction or randomly, the information manager 1 does not detect the individual parking sensing information 7, does not judge that the returning condition is satisfied, and prompts the user to park according to the rule. Of course, orderly parking can also be realized by adopting two groups of asymmetrically arranged parking sensing units 2. Two or more groups of parking sensing units 2 in this embodiment can be the same type of sensing component, for example, all adopt tongue tube and magnet steel, can realize self-service orderly parking through the asymmetric setting in position.

In this embodiment, a plurality of sets of parking sensor units 2 are provided, and one set of parking sensor units 2 is used as a start switch. In the normal use or riding process of the bicycle, the vehicle-mounted information manager 1 is in a sleep or low-power-consumption running state, and does not monitor all signals, so that energy loss can be avoided or reduced. As shown in fig. 9, when a vehicle enters a parking position designated by a vehicle renting station to park, a sensor 8 on the vehicle, such as a reed switch, is triggered by a sensor 9 at the parking position, such as magnetic steel, to generate a switch signal or an activation signal, a circuit is turned on, the information manager 1 is started to work, then the information manager 1 starts a coded card reader in the above embodiment to read a code, or starts laser to recognize a ground identifier, then the locking information 5 is read, whether a vehicle returning condition is met is judged, and if the vehicle returning condition is met, subsequent work is executed, such as card reading and writing operation on the vehicle renting card, or communication with an upper computer is performed to realize station vehicle management. Thus, in this embodiment, the parking sensor unit acts as a start switch for the information manager or provides an activation signal for starting the operation of the vehicle or the station information manager.
