An example operation includes one or more of associating a driver parking space preference to an identified driver of a transport, associating at least one occupant parking space preference to at least one identified occupant of the transport and determining a relative parking position within a potential parking space based on the driver parking space preference and the at least one occupant parking space preference.

In an automatic parking system, a marker recognizing unit performs recognition of a predetermined number of markers located respectively at predetermined locations in a parking garage. A marker deter miner performs determination of whether there is a problem in recognition of at least one marker in the predetermined number of markers in accordance with information resulting from the recognition performed by the marker detector. An output unit outputs marker state information resulting from the determination performed by the marker determiner.

A parking seeker detection system and method for updating an availability of one or more parking spots of a parking spot database is provided. The method includes determining whether a target vehicle is a registered member vehicle, and in response to determining that the target vehicle is not a registered member vehicle, identifying a target parking spot in which the target vehicle is intending to park and updating an availability of a parking spot of a parking spot database corresponding to the target parking spot.

There is a system for admitting automobiles to a venue comprising: at least one camera for recognizing an automobile, and a license plate. A server is configured for receiving a picture of the automobile and a picture of the license plate of the automobile. Furthermore, there is at least one database for storing, matching and identifying the picture of the automobile and the license plate. In addition, there is at least one screen for allowing a user to identify their automobile taken from a list of automobiles. There is also a process for tracking an automobile within an area which comprises the steps of identifying a pre-defined area and identifying an automobile for screening into the area. Next the auto and its license plate are photographed. This information is stored in a database and then used to generate invoices and track the location of these automobiles. Customer can access the database, enter the license plate of his vehicle, the database recognizes his vehicle, the customer makes payment for his vehicle, and the app places the customer information onto the PAID category list on the database.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to detect a vehicle that enters into a parking lot, identify an individual associated with the vehicle, retrieve context information corresponding to the individual, dynamically determine a first parking space based on the context information and available parking spaces, and provide the individual with directions to the first parking space.

A server includes a vehicle determination unit, an hour determination unit, and an authentication code transmission unit. The vehicle determination unit is configured to determine whether a reservation object vehicle corresponding to reservation vehicle information is in a parking place object area preset based on detection information of a parking place sensor and the reservation vehicle information. The hour determination unit is configured to determine whether a current hour is equal to or later than a transmission start hour. The authentication code transmission unit is configured to transmit an authentication code to a user terminal of a reservation user, when the vehicle determination unit determines that the reservation object vehicle is in the parking place object area and the hour determination unit determines that the current hour is equal to or later than the transmission start hour.

Lighting fixture data hubs and systems and methods for use. An example of a data hub may include an annunciator configured to generate first and second indications; a sensor configured to detect a zone including one or more parking spaces, pedestrians, or other activity areas in a vicinity of the data hub and to determine whether or not one or more vehicles, pedestrians, and/or activities occurring in the activity areas are present within the zone, the sensor further configured to emit signals corresponding to said detection; and a gateway in communication with an on-board processor and the annunciator, the on-board processor configured for EDGE computing and processing to receive and analyze the signals from the sensor, communicate said signals to the gateway, and operable to allow the gateway to direct the annunciator to generate the first indication or the second indication in response to the signals.

A parking management system and a parking management method are disclosed. The parking management system includes a control device and a parking space boundary indicating device. The control device is configured to acquire size information of a vehicle to be parked and information of the vacant area where no vehicle is parked in a parking lot, determine parking area information of the vehicle to be parked according to the size information and the information of the vacant area, and send the parking area information to the parking space boundary indicating device; the parking space boundary indicating device is configured to form parking space boundary lines by shedding light on a parking area according to the parking area information.

A management device includes a recognizer configured to recognize a use situation of a specific area for stopping of a vehicle, and a guide configured to guide a second vehicle having a smaller vehicle body than a vehicle body of a first vehicle to the specific area when there is no first stop space and there is a second stop space in the specific area, on the basis of the use situation recognized by the recognizer, the first stop space is a space in which the first vehicle or the second vehicle is able to stop, and the second stop space is a space in which the first vehicle is not able to stop and the second vehicle is able to stop.

Methods and systems including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for obtaining imaging data of a parking lot that includes a set of parking spots, detecting a vehicle enter the parking lot, generating a vehicle recognition model for the vehicle, determining that the vehicle is parked in a parking spot, detecting a customer exit the vehicle, generating a customer recognition model for the customer, determining that the customer has entered a business of one or more businesses affiliated with the parking lot, and providing information related to parking space usage for the parking spot and the business to a user device.
