In the era of intelligence, why is the contradiction between on-street parking difficult to solve?

Recently, after a sharp increase in on-street parking fees in the central urban area of Chongqing, citizens were questioned.
Citizens' questions mainly focused on four aspects: no hearing, expensive parking fees, inaccurate parking bills and opaque parking fees.
Experts suggest that relevant departments in Chongqing should carry out relevant research and optimize relevant charging policies.
"Not only is oil expensive now, but roadside parking fees have also risen." On the afternoon of June 12, in the Guanyinqiao business district in Chongqing, Chongqing resident Xiaowen said half-jokingly that she was charged 46 for parking less than 6 hours. Yuan parking fee, in the past only 30 yuan.
Recently, after the increase in the price of on-street parking in the central urban area of Chongqing, the public was questioned.
The reporter's survey found that the core problems reported by citizens mainly focused on four aspects: no hearing, expensive parking fees, inaccurate parking bills and opaque whereabouts of parking fees.
According to the new regulations on on-street parking fees in the central urban area of Chongqing, in important business districts in the central urban area of Chongqing, the parking fee standard is: the first hour of parking during the day is 3 yuan/half an hour, and the parking fee will be increased to 4 yuan/hour after more than 1 hour. half an hour.
Previously it was 2.5 yuan/half hour.
In non-important business districts, parking during the day is 2 yuan/half an hour for the first hour, and it will be raised to 2.5 yuan/half an hour after more than 1 hour, from 1 yuan/half an hour before.
What is the fee increase?
According to official documents in Chongqing, the price increase is to ease traffic congestion and use price leverage to guide motor vehicles to use off-street facilities more and avoid prolonged parking.
However, insiders said that the real reason for the price increase is to solve the problems caused by factors such as rising labor wages.
It is reported that on-road parking charge managers in Chongqing take care of 30 parking spaces per capita. Based on their average salary of 4,500 yuan per month, it can be seen that a considerable part of the parking charge is used to pay the salary of management personnel.
In addition, since most of the charging administrators are temporarily hired laborers, they take photos to generate orders, and their accuracy is questionable.
In addition, car owners have doubts about the whereabouts of parking fees.
Some toll collectors charge privately and negotiate with car owners.
However, from a horizontal comparison, in fact, the parking fee in Chongqing is not too high, almost at the same level as Chengdu, Changsha, Guangzhou and other cities, far lower than Shanghai, Beijing and other cities.
Why did the price increase arouse such concern among Chongqing citizens?
The above-mentioned industry insiders pointed out that this is because the increase in parking charges in Chongqing is indeed large.
And before this price adjustment, the relevant departments did not hold a public hearing. Once the price increase information was announced, it immediately became the focus of Chongqing citizens and the media.
During the interview, many citizens said that by adjusting the price and allowing the public to pay parking fees higher than the original price, can the road traffic congestion be fundamentally alleviated?
Secondly, how much does the relevant departments in Chongqing charge for temporary parking in the central urban area every year?
How exactly are these parking fees distributed?
Why is it not voluntarily released to the public income and expenditure details or annual report?
Experience parking charges on the spot
At present, most of the parking spaces on the Chongqing road are still mainly charged manually, with POS machines or geomagnetism as the auxiliary.
After the car is parked, the toll collector will print the receipt and put it on the window.
To this end, the reporter used the weekend to have a live experience.
On June 11, on Shengde Road, Huxi Street, Chongqing High-tech Zone, a reporter drove in at 11:14, and no one posted a ticket until 11:30.
On the same day, at the Olympic Garden in Jiulongpo District, the reporter drove in at 13:57, and received the order information that he drove in at 14:02.
The reporter left at 14:47, and the order showed that it left at 14:49.
The reporter found from the above-mentioned two parking experiences that the time for taking photos to generate an order is affected by human factors, indicating that the toll collector can control whether the order is generated.
If the toll collector does not actively process the order, there will inevitably be a phenomenon of evasion.
The reporter also found in the interview that after the car owner parked the car, the receipt printed by the toll collector was still washed away by the rain or blown away by the wind.
If the car owner does not notice when leaving, it may cause the car owner not to scan the QR code to pay the fee in time, thus causing the order to continue to be billed.
On-street parking management still needs innovation
The reporter learned that in some big cities, on-street parking management is still mainly based on on-the-spot settlement. The main solutions are meters and parking devices. It is more fair for car owners to confirm orders and settle on the spot.
On the morning of June 12, the reporter came to the smart parking simulation control center of Yuelai Group's Yueshe Creative Exhibition Center. The staff introduced that some cities in China have adopted the management mode of AI video to greatly improve the intelligence of on-street parking charges. Generation has rarely relied on manual intervention, but arrears are still common in China.
In cities such as Shijiazhuang, Zhengzhou, and Xuzhou where high-end video has been fully installed, the actual charging rate is still not ideal, due to the lack of obvious prompts and restrictive measures.
Just like the video gate system of a closed parking lot, if only the video is retained and the lift rod is removed, a large amount of charges will be lost. Therefore, if the solution management of AI video combined with intelligent parking device is adopted, the efficiency advantage will be more prominent.
The reporter learned from the large visual data screen set up in the exhibition hall that in some cities that fully implement intelligent unattended solutions, the labor management cost has dropped by about 80% compared with the traditional management model, and the revenue has doubled.
This model has now been promoted and applied in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Sichuan, Anhui, Guizhou, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other provinces and cities.
"Chongqing's on-street parking management innovation was carried out very early, and it was once a leader in the country. There are also ready-made management pilots of big data and IoT smart equipment. Now it is gradually returning to the manual management model, which is really puzzling. " said Mo Yuanming, a researcher at the Coordinated Development Center of the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle at Chongqing Technology and Business University.
He believes that the relevant departments in Chongqing should carry out research and optimize relevant charging policies, such as canceling the contracted operation method of on-street parking management, directly operated by governments at all levels or platform companies, and can obtain construction funds and technical services through the model of technical service outsourcing. Complementary advantages with social investors.
In particular, the unattended solution of the intelligent parking system can reduce the difficulty of direct operation and management of on-street parking spaces by platform companies. The data on parking fee income is more credible, and the management cost is lower and more controllable.
