Abstract: Various arrangements for monitoring occupancy of multiple parking spaces are presented herein. Arrangements may use a radar-based vehicle detector that comprises a radar antenna that has a field-of-view of a portion of a parking facility. Multiple parking sensors may be present that monitor parking spaces outside of or obstructed from the field-of-view. A parking host system may be present that communicates with the radar-based vehicle detector and the plurality of parking sensors and determines in which parking space a vehicle has parked.

Abstract: Various arrangements for determining that a vehicle is present in a parking space are presented. A parking sensor can make a plurality of magnetic field strength measurements using a magnetometer. A determination that the vehicle is parked proximate to the parking sensor device within the parking space can be based on a magnetic field strength measurement in relation to the selected magnetic field strength window.

Abstract: Various arrangements for determining that a vehicle is present in a parking space are presented. A parking sensor can make a plurality of magnetic field strength measurements using a magnetometer. The magnetic field strength measurements are analyzed to determine a number of the plurality of magnetic field strength measurements that are within various magnetic field strength windows A magnetic field strength window may be selected as a vehicle-detection baseline. A determination that the vehicle is parked proximate to the parking sensor device within the parking space may be made based on a magnetic field strength measurement being outside of the selected magnetic field strength window.

Abstract: A system of parking data aggregation and distribution may comprise a plurality of parking sensors, at least one of the plurality of parking sensors located proximate a parking area and one or more gateway devices. The system may further comprise an administrator interface, a parking operator dashboard interface, and a cloud service component. The cloud service component receives parking sensor data indicating occupancy and turnover from the gateway devices and transmits the parking sensor data to the parking operator dashboard web interface. The cloud service component may comprise a database for storing the parking sensor data and a software application for implementing an algorithm to create one or more predictions for future occupancy and future turnover during a future time period. The parking operator dashboard interface may display one or more representations of the parking sensor data over the past time period and predictions for future occupancy and future turnover.
