A parking management system includes: a management server including a first processor that includes hardware; and a parking server including a second processor that includes hardware. The first processor is configured to acquire information of a vehicle that has entered a parking area from the parking server, identify the vehicle that has entered the parking area and a user boarding the vehicle based on the information of the vehicle, and connect the information of the vehicle and the payment information of the user and output the information of the vehicle and the payment information of the user to the parking server. The second processor is configured to calculate a parking fee of the vehicle based on parking time of the vehicle, a payment amount included in the payment information, and a parking fee agreement that is preset, and open an exit gate provided in the parking area.

The disclosure relates to a method for transferring a motor vehicle to an automatic parking system which is designed to transfer the motor vehicle to a free parking space of the parking system without a driver. The parking system transmits a release code (C) to the motor vehicle, said release code being output in the motor vehicle so as to be perceivable to a motor vehicle user. After leaving the motor vehicle, the motor vehicle user transmits the release code to the parking system in order to grant a drive release. As soon as the drive release is granted, the motor vehicle is transferred to the free parking space of the parking system without the driver. The disclosure additionally relates to an automatic parking system and to a motor vehicle for carrying out the method.

An access point barrier system having a barrier that extends in such a way as to be movable between an enabled position and a non-enabled position preventing a vehicle from crossing the access point is provided. The image-capture device is integrated to the arm of the barrier and a computing device coupled to a database of registered vehicles, wherein the computing device is adapted to establish a match between the vehicle adjacent the barrier against the database of registered vehicles based on in part at least one image captured by the image-capture device so that an established match moves the barrier to the enabled position.

An intelligent stereo garage system based on Internet+ and a vehicle parking and pick-up method. The system includes a mobile APP (10), a cloud server (20), a computer system (30), a programmable logic controller (PLC) system (40), a stereo garage (50), and an all-in-one touch machine (60), where the all-in-one touch machine (60) is deployed next to the stereo garage (50), and the computer system (30) is deployed outside or inside the stereo garage (50). A fully-automatic parking method uses different parking and pick-up modes, which technically ensures that users can get their vehicles in time without hindering other users, and allows users to truly experience the system intelligence. This deeply embodies the smart city's idea of interconnecting everything with a mobile phone. The method largely solves problems such as parking difficulty, illegal parking, unauthorized charges, traffic jams, traffic noise, traffic accidents, and vehicle pollution.

For parking a bicycle, a bicycle parking device includes a storage tray, a lifting mechanism, and a rotary platform. The storage tray is located at the bottom of the bicycle parking device, and has a plurality of bicycle parking spaces. The lifting mechanism drives a bicycle carrying platform to move up and down. The rotary platform that is rotatably disposed on the lifting mechanism, and is docked with the bicycle parking space. The bicycle carrying platform transfers between the bicycle parking space and the rotary platform

A method of citing a parking violation includes locating a removable locking device around a wheel of the vehicle. The locking device is located to permit the mobility of the vehicle but act as a nuisance when in motion. A driver is permitted to settle the infraction through multiple ways wherein the driver pays a fee for the infraction and a core fee for the locking device. The core fee may be refunded upon successful return of the locking device to a collection unit. The act of ticketing and securing the vehicle are done in a concurrent set of steps.

A parking facility access management system having a sensing device communicatively connected to the internet and to a mechanism for providing access to a parking facility. A mobile device is communicatively connected to the sensing device while in proximity to the sensing device, and also communicatively connected to the internet while not in proximity to the sensing device. As the mobile device enters proximity to the sensing device, the mobile device communicates exclusively with the sensing device and not the internet. In some embodiments, as the mobile device enters proximity to the sensing device, the mobile device sends a signal to the sensing device to alert the mechanism for providing access to provide access to the parking facility.

Disclosed are an electromechanically coupled barrier, a method, and/or a system to provide temporary access to a parking garage and a secure physical space of the parking garage. In one embodiment, an access control system of the parking garage includes a barrier, a controller, the secure physical space and an access control hardware. The barrier of parking garage physically moves in an open state and/or a closed state to permit an automobile to enter the parking garage and/or restrict the automobile from entering the parking garage. The controller electromechanically coupled with the barrier communicates a signal to move the barrier based on a command of a centralized data processing system. The secure physical space in the parking garage is designated for non-automobile parking uses. The access control hardware of the secure physical space restricts access to the secure physical space for a limited duration of time to an automobile operator.
