Snow removal apparatus operating system and snow removal apparatus operating method

A snow removal apparatus operating method executed by a computer comprising a memory storing a user database, a parking section database, and a control program and a processor in order to operate a snow removal apparatus by reading and executing the control program stored in the memory, the snow removal apparatus operating method comprising:

• a snow state recognition step of recognizing, by the computer, a snow accumulation state of a parking lot in which a plurality of parking sections is provided from captured images of a parking lot camera installed in the parking lot and weather information of an area where the parking lot is located which is provided from a weather information server;
• a parking section management step of recognizing, by the computer, a usage state of each of the parking sections and managing, by the computer, entry and exit of a vehicle for each of the parking sections;
• a parking request recognition step of recognizing, by the computer, a request for parking in the parking lot;
• a specific parking section determination step of determining, by the computer, whether there is a vacant parking section having no snow accumulation with reference to the parking section database, and determining, by the computer, a specific parking section as a snow removal target for securing a vacant parking space according to the request for parking from among the parking sections recognized to have snow accumulation in the snow state recognition step and recognized to have a vacant parking space in the parking section management step if there is no parking section recognized to have no snow accumulation in the snow state recognition step and recognized to have a vacant parking space in the parking section management step when the request for parking is recognized in the parking request recognition step;
• and
• a snow removal instruction step of transmitting, to a snow removal apparatus controller of a snow removal apparatus disposed in order to perform snow removal in the parking lot, a first snow removal instruction information for instructing snow removal in the specific parking section, and the snow removal apparatus controller which has received the first snow removal instruction information causing the snow removal apparatus to autonomously travel to execute snow removal in the specific parking section, so as to perform snow removal using the snow removal apparatus in the specific parking section determined as the snow removal target.
