Disclosed is a method for accommodating parking requirements of a vehicle operator parking a vehicle at a parking spot, including: receiving, in a parking block assembly disposed in an egress area of a parking spot of a parking lot, authorized instructions from a mobile device of the vehicle operator to position a parking block in lowered position, positioning the parking block of the a parking block assembly in the lowered position, and wherein the authorized instructions are provided to the mobile device in advance and enable control of the parking block assembly only during a duration of a stay at the parking spot for the vehicle.

A contactless charging system includes a target vehicle and a charging station. The charging station includes a power transmission device, at least one parking space, a restriction device, and a management device. The management device is configured to control the restriction device to be a second state in which the target vehicle is permitted to enter the charging station and the parking space when the target vehicle is the contactless charged vehicle, and to be a first state in which the target vehicle is restricted to enter the charging station or the parking space when the target vehicle is not the contactless charged vehicle.

A parking space barricade is disclosed. The barricade has a crossmember, a first pair of legs, and a second pair of legs. The crossmember has a first fork end and a second fork end. The first fork end is opposite the second fork end. The first pair of legs are joined at a first upper end. The first upper end has a first crossmember mount. The second pair of legs are joined at a second upper end. The second upper end has a second crossmember mount. The first fork end is pivotally connected to the first crossmember mount. The second fork end is pivotally connected to the second crossmember mount. The first and second pair of legs each are pivotal between a stored position and a deployed position.

An onboard automatic parking system (10) for a vehicle (8) comprising: an automatic parking unit (20) suited to control a maneuver of the vehicle (8) in or out of a park area (5); a communication circuit (58) suited to send a wireless instruction for operating an access system (4) of the park area (5); a human machine interface (56) suited to send a given instruction to the communication circuit (58) via a bus (40), the communication circuit (58) sending said wireless instruction upon receiving the given instruction, a module (52) connected to said bus (40) and suited to command said automatic parking unit (20) to control said maneuver and to send said given instruction on said bus (40).

A parking space is reserved by raising a chain about three feet above a parking space. The chain is attached to a post, and a weight is attached to the chain to lower the chain along the post and to drag the lowering chain along the parking space toward the post for full access. A motor with a speed reducer turns a shaft with a chain drive gear and an encoder. A signal receiver and control start the motor to raise or lower the chain when one of two buttons is pressed on a key fob by the authorized space user. The encoder is connected to the control to stop the chain when fully up or down. A stop trigger on the chain activates a stop switch when the chain is fully raised.

A contactless charging system includes a target vehicle and a charging station. The charging station includes a power transmission device, at least one parking space, a restriction device, and a management device. The management device is configured to control the restriction device to be a second state in which the target vehicle is permitted to enter the charging station and the parking space when the target vehicle is the contactless charged vehicle, and to be a first state in which the target vehicle is restricted to enter the charging station or the parking space when the target vehicle is not the contactless charged vehicle.

The present invention relates to a parking barrier having an advertising function, and the present invention relates to a parking barrier in which vertical panels printed with an advertisement are arranged and provided so as to be supported by a cross bar, thereby having an advertising function. The parking barrier having an advertising function according to the present invention comprises; a driving unit; an upper cross bar provided so as to be rotatable by the driving unit, thereby controlling vehicles; and a plurality of vertical panels provided at the upper cross bar such that upper ends thereof are rotatable, thereby maintaining a vertical state by the weight thereof, wherein a rotating shaft and the revolving shaft so as to be engaged with each other such that the vertical panels revolve on the revolving shaft when the upper cross bar rotates so as to stand upright.

A method for securing a motor vehicle against unauthorized removal from an AVP parking facility includes steps of receiving, from the motor vehicle, information regarding a driving state of the motor vehicle, of determining that the motor vehicle is in transit in the area of the parking facility, of determining that the motor vehicle is traveling outside of a parking or retrieval process controlled independently of a driver, and of triggering an action.

A parking space barricade is disclosed. The barricade has a crossmember, a first pair of legs, and a second pair of legs. The crossmember has a first fork end and a second fork end. The first fork end is opposite the second fork end. The first pair of legs are joined at a first upper end. The first upper end has a first crossmember mount. The second pair of legs are joined at a second upper end. The second upper end has a second crossmember mount. The first fork end is pivotally connected to the first crossmember mount. The second fork end is pivotally connected to the second crossmember mount. The first and second pair of legs each are pivotal between a stored position and a deployed position.
