  • Publication number: 20120245966
    Abstract: Various arrangements for managing one or more parking facilities using a parking management server are presented. The parking management server may permit day users, lessees, parking facility managers, and group tenants (e.g., entities renting groups of parking spaces) to lease, reserve, and manage parking spaces within parking facilities. User accounts maintained by the parking management server may permit parking fees to be paid remotely by users such that payment is not required to be made at a parking facility. Further, a user's vehicle may be identified using license plate recognition, such that additional hardware does not need to be added to a vehicle for a user account to be established.
