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.

This disclosure relates to methods and systems for touchless parking facility entry, wherein the parking facility entry system uses a detector to unlock a motion sensor on a kiosk responsive to a determination or signal that is located next to the kiosk. The driver of the vehicle may then make some motion which, when detected by the motion sensor, will trigger the kiosk to dispense a parking ticket for the vehicle. The system may then open a gate to provide the vehicle with access to the parking facility.

Disclosed in the present invention is a system for automatic management of an unmanned parking lot. More specifically, the present invention relates to a system for automatic management of an unmanned parking lot, in which the system recognizes whether a vehicle enters a parking lot and is parked, and automatically processes a payment depending on parking time. Depending on an embodiment of the present invention, a card terminal mounted in a vehicle in each parking space of the unmanned parking lot is recognized, and procedures of vehicle identification, parking approval, payment, etc. are automatically performed in connection with a card system, such that it is possible to provide convenience of parking to an owner of a vehicle and the operator of the parking lot.

An image display apparatus includes a controller, a sensor, and a display. The controller is configured to acquire sensor information from the sensor, recognize surrounding real space from the sensor information, extract an available parking spot in the real space, and project a virtual image indicating the parking spot onto the real space using the display.

A parking enforcement and vehicle charging system can include a weather resistant housing, a processor disposed inside of the housing, a memory disposed inside of the housing and coupled to the processor, a network interface disposed in the housing and coupled to the processor, a first camera disposed in the housing and facing outward towards a first parking space, and a charging port and electricity supply configured to allow a vehicle in the first parking space to be plugged in for recharging. The processor can be configured to recognize when a vehicle first occupies the first parking space.

A parking meter detects an object in proximity, based on a change in a proximity measurement at the meter, activates a directional sensor in response to detecting the object, receives sensor data at a meter processor from the directional sensor, wherein the received sensor data indicates a predetermined direction to the detected object relative to the meter. The parking meter determines a presence of the object, or lack thereof, in the predetermined direction based on the sensor data, and upon a positive determination of the presence of the object, stores an indication of the presence of the object along with a time of the positive determination.

The disclosure provides a parking management system and a parking management method. The parking management system can comprise one or more servers in communication with one or more vehicles. The one or more vehicles can be configured to be shared and utilized by one or more users for transportation. The one or more servers can be configured to receive location data from the one or more vehicles, and determine, based on the received location data and for each vehicle, whether the vehicle is located within one or more predefined parking areas when (1) the vehicle is not in use or (2) upon completion of a transportation trip by the vehicle.

A parking control system includes a cloud server, a sensor coupled to a parking spot, and a mobile robot device. The sensor detects a vehicle entering the parking spot, and transmits a first signal to the cloud server. The cloud server, upon reception of the first signal, records an entry time of the vehicle, and dispatches the mobile robot device to the parking spot. The mobile robot device captures identification information of the vehicle by a camera, and transmits a second signal including the identification information to the cloud server. The sensor detects the vehicle exiting the parking spot, and transmits a third signal to the cloud server. The cloud server, upon reception of the third signal, records an exit time of the vehicle. The cloud server calculates a parking duration between the entry time and the exit time, and determines whether the parking duration has exceeded a predetermined duration.

A parking management platform enables an event-based vehicle parking service. Operational features afforded by the vehicle parking service include Waitlist AutoBuy, which automatically purchases a parking space if one becomes available before an event; Waitlist Notification, which notifies a user when a parking space becomes available; Cancel and Buy, which allows a user to cancel a purchased event parking pass before a pre-event deadline and later repurchase the same event parking pass; Transfer to Another Person, which allows transfer of a parking pass to another person; Transfer to Another Event, which allows transfer of an event parking pass for use at a future event; Redemption of Transferred Parking Pass, which allows a recipient of a transferred parking pass to redeem it without payment; and Attendance Confirmation, which allows a user to confirm attendance or to exchange, transfer, or cancel the event parking pass for a different event parking pass.

A system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a method for determining vehicle overlap with a parking space is presented. The method may include accessing a set of pixel coordinates defining a location of a vehicle within an image, and translating the set of pixel coordinates to a set of global coordinates defining a geospatial location of the vehicle. The method may further include accessing a set of known coordinates of the parking space. The method may further include determining an overlap amount by comparing the global coordinates of the vehicle with the known global coordinates of the parking space, and determining the vehicle overlaps the parking space based on the overlap amount transgressing a threshold overlap amount. The method may further include updating a data object associated with the vehicle to indicate the vehicle overlaps the parking space.
