Abstract:
1. A process in a remote meterless parking monitoring system the time frames for the assigned space policy so that the assignment can be applied to at least one of beginning and cancelled in the future without further intervention, comprising the steps of: a Vehicle Detector wakes an RFID Reader; the RFID Reader determines all readable RFID Tags in proximity to the parking space; the RFID Reader determination is transmitted to a Command and Control Server; the proper RFID Tag for a Motorist is determined; the Command and Control Server determines if any RFID Tag is associated with the Motorist; if no proper RFID tag exists, a violation alert is issued; if a proper RFID tag is associated with the motorist, look up motorist from a motorist database using the RFID tag number; and determine if the Motorist is permitted in the Parking Space; find the current Parking Policy assignment from an assignment table; and if the motorist is not permitted in the parking space, issue a violation alert, if the Motorist is permitted in the Parking Space, determine if the Parking Space has a Time Limit; if the Parking Space has a time limit Set Space Maximum Allowable Time to Time Limit for the Parking Policy; if the Parking Space does not have a Time Limit, Set Parking Space Maximum Time Limit to NO LIMIT; determine if Parking Space requires payment; if the Parking Space requires payment, Set Occupant Maximum time to smaller value of Space Maximum Time or Occupant Maximum Time; if the Parking Space does not require payment, set Occupant Maximum Time to NO Limit; set Maximum Occupant time to smaller value of Space Maximum Time or Occupant Maximum Time; check violation Status; determine if Current Time is greater than Arrival Time plus Maximum Occupant Time; if Current Time is greater than Arrival Time plus Maximum Occupant Time the issue Violation Alert; if Current Time is not greater than Arrival Time plus Maximum Occupant Time, then wait until occupant departs; and end Occupant Monitoring Process.
