Abstract

An integrated parking meter system automates the issuance of parking citations. Each parking meter will be equipped with a sonar range finder, mercur y type switch and a two way radio that communicates via N-PCS to a host computer back at the control center. When a meter runs out of money it checks to see if a vehicle is present in the parking space. If it is, the meter notifies the host c omputer that there is a car illegally parked in the space. The host computer correlates the information to identify the exact location of the violator. The host computer th en sends this information via wireless network to the parking meter attendants' personal communicator. The parking attendant proceeds to the violator and issues the citation. Included within this technology is the capability to remotely chan ge the rate structure of any or all electronic parking meters. A meter diagnostic featu re alerts repair personnel to specific malfunctioning meters. The meter may also se t the time remaining on the meter to zero whenever a car leaves the adjacent space .
