A parking objects or vehicles detection system performs vision-based parking inventory management by monitoring live vehicle ingress and egress traffic and communicating to a backend server changes in instances of vehicle parking events.

Parking objects detection system using live inventory management

A parking objects or vehicles detection system () uses BLE proximity sensing to identify a vehicle () with a beacon ID to within about one vehicle length from an access gate () of a vehicle parking surface lot or garage. The system performs vision-based parking inventory management () by monitoring live vehicle ingress and egress traffic and communicating to a backend server () changes in instances of vehicle parking events.

A vehicle parking and mass transport beacon system () implemented with a beacon device () configured as a wireless identifier and authentication mechanism offers a user a capability of bypassing infrastructures of commercial parking lots and facilities, mass transit systems, and taxi services when using them. The beacon system includes a source beacon and a user beacon, the latter of which implemented in a user smart device () such as a smartphone. The use of a source beacon and user smart device enables elimination of reliance on a cellular communication connection from the time of the user's grant of permission for action to the time of separation of the user smart device and the beacon by a distance outside the range of connectivity between them. Such elimination of reliance on cellular communication connection avoids delay and communication coverage issues stemming from use of a cellular communication network.

Systems and methods communicate parking access information between a host application associated with an operator of a parking area and a web application associated with a parking fee management provider for facilitating access, by a user carrying a smartphone, to the parking area secured by an external smart object. The external smart object is controllable through operation of the web application and actuatable through wireless personal area network (WPAN) communications exchanged between the smartphone and the external smart object in response to the operation of the web application causing the host application to generate the WPAN communications.
