Abstract:
A parking facility management, personalized parking and reservation system enabling better parking administration management and further enabling a parking patron to find a recommended parking space most nearly matching his personal preferences and to receive instructions on the shortest path to reach to the available parking space. Electrical signaling sensors () are employed in parking spaces and aisles. The system includes signal repeaters (), a microprocessor receiving station () employing files and a database on a server readable medium. Secondary software on a computer () connected to the microprocessor receiving station () manages the microprocessor receiving station, translates the signals, and sends data to files and a database. A ticket dispenser permits entry of parking space preference information. Primary software on the computer () enables a parking patron and parking administration management to enter information concerning preferences, parking facility space layout and parking space attributes. The primary software also computes the location of a recommended parking space for a parking patron, compute the vehicles in motion in the aisles; sends a recommended parking space location to the ticket dispenser, provides directions to the recommended parking space, provides periodic executive management reports, and sends instructions to the microprocessor receiving station to integrate data from a plurality of parking facilities into a centralized database.
