AUTOMATED PARKING TRACKER

Abstract:

The present disclosure is directed to managing and enforcing vehicle parking. A system may receive at least one parking message from a sensor. The parking message may indicate whether a vehicle is in the parking spot and then track a duration that the vehicle is in the parking spot based on the at least one parking message. Some embodiments involve initiating a timer in response to receiving a parking request, wherein a timer expiration is set according to a requested parking duration. In addition, a first alarm signal may be generated in response to the duration exceeding a predetermined threshold and in response to not receiving a parking request; and a second alarm signal may be generated in response to an indication that the vehicle is in the parking spot and in response to the timer expiring.
