Abstract
To enable placement of a reservation at a parking site even from a remote site, communication is performed between an overhead road device disposed above a road and a vehicle-mounted device installed on a vehicle, and placement of a reservation at a parking site is performed in an integrated control computer. The integrated control computer is connected to several parking-site control computers, obtains parking-site information indicating a state of usage of a parking site from the parking-site control computers, controls the state of usage of respective parking sites, and at a time when a reservation at a parking site has been made, transmits information thereof to the parking-site control computer designated for the reservation.
