Abstract: An automated parking facility management system which determines when a vehicle is at a facility entrance, stores the locations of vacated facility parking spots, determines the location of a desirable vacated parking spot in relation to either the facility entrance or the facility exit, prints a parking record for the customer including the computed location, removes the computed location from the memory after it has been printed to prevent assigning the same spot to two vehicles, and then adds the computed location back into the memory when the vehicle is leaving the facility to make the location available to another vehicle.
