Contactless charging system, charging station, and contactless charged vehicle

A charging station comprising:

• a power transmission device configured to transmit power to a contactless charged vehicle without contact;
• at least one parking space in which the power transmission device is arranged;
• a restriction device configured to be switched between a first state and a second state, the first state being a state of restricting entry of a target vehicle to one of the charging station and the parking space, the second state being a state of permitting the entry of the target vehicle to the charging station and the parking space, and the target vehicle being a vehicle that attempts to be parked in the at least one parking space;
• and
• a management device configured to control the restriction device, the management device being configured to control the restriction device to be the second state when the target vehicle is the contactless charged vehicle, and the management device being configured to control the restriction device to be the first state when the target vehicle is a vehicle other than the contactless charged vehicle.

A contactless charged vehicle configured to receive power from a charging station without contact,

• the charging station including a plurality of parking spaces, a plurality of restriction devices, and a management device,
• the plurality of parking spaces respectively including a power transmission device, the power transmission device being configured to transmit the power without contact,
• the plurality of restriction devices being respectively provided for the plurality of parking spaces,
• the plurality of restriction devices being configured to restrict entry of a vehicle to the parking spaces, respectively, and
• the management device being configured to transmit information on an empty parking space to the contactless charged vehicle, and the management device being configured to cancel entry restriction by the restriction device provided in the parking space selected by the contactless charged vehicle,
• the contactless charged vehicle comprising:
• a controller configured to select one of the empty parking spaces based on the information received from the management device;
• and
• a communication device configured to transmit a signal to request cancellation of the entry restriction of the selected one of the empty parking spaces by the restriction device to the management device.
