Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for allocating parking spaces for vehicles in a parking area. In one embodiment, the invention provides a system comprising a sensor system for generating output representing measurements of vehicles in the parking area, a marking system for identifying parking spaces in the parking area, and a controller for calculating parking spaces for vehicles. The controller obtains defined measurements for the vehicles in the parking area, and calculates for each of the vehicles, a respective one parking space in the parking area. Embodiments of the invention dynamically allocate parking spaces based on: (1) Determining the minimum space that should be enough for the size of the car that is being currently identified for parking; and (2) Maximizing utilization of space by preventing improper fragmentation, where because of allocating fixed size spaces to all cars, big/small/medium, fragments of space would be wasted.

Abstract: Proactive control of watercraft movement based on water surface features. A method obtains, from a plurality of floating sensors at least partially surrounding a watercraft in a body of water, information about movement of a surface of the body of water, the plurality of floating sensors being arranged in multiple sets, the floating sensors of each set of the multiple sets being interconnected by a respective tether extending from the watercraft. The method builds a surface model of the surface of the body of water based on the obtained information about movement of the surface, the surface model including indications of force and directional movement of features of the surface of the body of water, and determines, based on the surface model, at least one control maneuver for controlling movement of the watercraft.
