Abstract

A central computing system is configured to monitor quotas for multiple different classifications of vehicles that park in a parking facility. License plate reading (LPR) cameras read the license information of each vehicle entering and exiting a parking facility. The vehicle images or identifications are communicated to the central computing system which updates its database and monitors each virtual lot in the parking facility according to quotas, prices and other parameters for each corresponding class of vehicles. Control gates can be provided at entrances and exits to the parking facility. A parking kiosk can be provided to the parking facility that is networked with the central computing system.

Description

[0001] priority [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 199,149, filed July 30, 2015, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to parking systems, and more particularly to virtual parking lots and the management of virtual parking lots.

Vehicles may continue to enter the yard until the net number of vehicles in the yard (total number of vehicles entering minus total number of vehicles leaving) reaches a certain total. [0005] Certain yards provide a means for admitting pass holders such that pass holders are counted independently from non-pass holders. Therefore, the parking lot may be closed to non-pass holders in order to reserve a given number of...
