  • Systems and methods for managing and tracking space availability
    Patent number: 10665100
    Abstract: An exemplary parking facilitation system includes a plurality of parking space devices disposed at different parking spaces within a parking area and a parking management system configured to control operation of, and to exchange data with, the parking space devices. Each of the parking space devices respectively includes a processor, a vehicle presence detector configured to determine whether any vehicle is parked in a parking space at which the parking space device is disposed, and a parking availability indicator configured to visually indicate an availability status of the parking space. The parking availability indicator is positioned at a height greater than that of any vehicle that the parking space is configured to accommodate so as to be concurrently visible, with parking availability indicators of other parking space devices, from various locations within the parking area at which drivers attempting to locate available parking spaces are to be located.
