Disclosed is an escapement mechanism (1) for a timepiece, designed to cooperate with an oscillator arranged to carry out oscillations, said mechanism (1) comprising: —a count wheel (7) arranged for step-wise forward rotation depending on the oscillations of the oscillator; —an impulse wheel (11) designed to be kinematically linked to a power source, said impulse wheel (11) being arranged to be periodically blocked and released under the control of the count wheel (7) and to supply impulses to the oscillator, characterized in that: —when said escapement mechanism (1) is operating, the count wheel (7) is continuously subjected to a torque; —and the count wheel (7) is arranged to rotate forward by one half-step of its toothing for every vibration of the oscillator.

One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for estimating parking occupancy. For a paid parking period, parking meter transaction data may be acquired for a parking meter encompassed by a zone of one or more parking spaces. The parking meter transaction data may be evaluated to determine status data, such as an estimation of whether one or more parking spaces are available, occupied, and/or will become available. A parking occupancy, indicative of a likelihood of available parking spaces, may be estimated based upon the status data. For a free parking period, the parking occupancy may be estimated based upon vehicle flow data that is indicative of vehicles entering, parking, and/or leaving the one or more parking spaces. In this way, the parking occupancy may be provided to a driver to mitigate wasted time and/or gas otherwise spent searching for an available parking space.
