Abstract: A system and method for identification and authentication of vehicles using imaging to develop a vehicle signature based off of both license plate recognition and identification of distinct features of the vehicle. The system may cross-reference the vehicle signature against databases of known vehicle signatures to authenticate the vehicle and to determine whether or not the vehicle is on a whitelist.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and hardware for enabling automated authorized access to services. The systems and methods enable a user having a user account to undertake actions equating to a request to access specific services, for an automated system to detect those actions and determine if the user is authorized to access such services and depending on the user's authorization level to either provide or restrict the user's access to such services.

Abstract: A kiosk system having a sensor configured to determine features of a vehicle in proximity to the kiosk system and to move the at least a portion of the kiosk system to place it in a location and/or position convenient for the vehicle's user to interface with it. As a vehicle approaches the kiosk system, a sensor may automatically detect the height, width, and length, as well as other distinct features of the vehicle. Responsive to the detection of a vehicle and the determination of a preferred location for the kiosk's user interface, the kiosk system, or a portion thereof, may move to place the kiosk's user interface in the preferred location for the particular vehicle proximate the kiosk, so that the driver of the vehicle may easily interact with the kiosk's user interface.
