Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention is able to provide an interactive parking management ('IPM') in accordance with information obtained from interior and exterior sensors, vehicle onboard computer ('VOC'), and cloud data. The process, in one embodiment, is capable of acknowledging a parking activity initiated by a vehicle traveling in a geographic location via a communications network. Upon providing parking information to the vehicle based on the data obtained from the current parking status, historical parking status, and big data for facilitating the parking activity, the movement of the vehicle is monitored in accordance with the current parking status. After recording a physical location where the vehicle is parked and parking duration, a parking invoice is generated in response to information relating to the recorded information such as physical location and parking duration.
