Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting parked vehicles and for collecting parking fees, wherein a transponder arranged in a vehicle repeatedly emits a detection signal which is received by at least three radio devices. On the basis of the detection signal, a position of the vehicle is calculated and an identifier of the transponder is determined, wherein it is detected whether the vehicle is in a parking space area and is parked. If the vehicle uses a parking space area for parking, an identifier of the transponder is transmitted to a registration server which determines a parking fee on the basis of a tariff for the parking space area which is used and, if necessary, initiates a payment process.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of detecting vehicles that park in a parking space zone, wherein excluded zones are recognized and/or determined that are not suitable and/or provided for parking vehicles; a transponder (40) is arranged in or at a vehicle, the transponder automatically repeatedly transmits a recognition signal; the recognition signal is received by at most three radio devices; and the position of the transponder is determined by means of a control device with reference to the time of flight and/or to the time of flight differences of the recognition signal from the transponder to the radio devices and with reference to the positions of the excluded zones.

Abstract: The invention relates to a car park monitoring system for detecting free and occupied parking spaces in a car park area, comprising a detection unit and a camera system, the camera system being designed to supply image evidence from within the car park area, and the detection unit being designed to assign, depending on said image evidence, an occupation status to the parking spaces which indicates whether a parking pace is free or occupied. The car park monitoring system is characterized in that the detection unit is further designed to store the image evidence for at least one corresponding parking space as a first snapshot when the occupation status of the parking space in question changes from free to occupied, and additionally to store the image evidence as a second snapshot when a limiting condition is met.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system which comprises at least one street-lighting device, a camera system mounted thereon, a recognition unit, a transmission unit and a mobile display device. The camera system is designed to provide image indicators of parking spaces within a parking lot. The recognition unit is designed: to store the geographical coordinates of parking spaces present in the visual range of the camera system; to assign, depending on the image indicators, to each parking space a respective occupation status, said status specifying whether the respective parking space is available or occupied; and to provide the transmission unit with the respective occupation status of at least the available parking spaces and the associated geographical coordinates, the transmission unit being designed to transmit the respective occupation status at least of the available parking spaces and the associated geographical coordinates to the mobile display device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for displaying free and preferably also occupied parking space regions on a display device, wherein at least one camera supplies image indications of parking space regions. The geographic coordinates of a car park area located in the visual range of the camera are stored in a recognition unit. On the basis of the image indications, the recognition unit assigns each of the parking space regions inside the car park area a respective occupation status that indicates whether a respective parking space region is free or occupied. The recognition unit calculates the dimensions of a free parking space region at least in the longitudinal direction thereof (“size value”) from the supplied image indications.
