Abstract: A system may include a storage device that stores a set of instructions and a processor in communication with the storage device. When executing the set of instructions, the processor may be configured to cause the system to obtain, from a user terminal, a first geographical location via a network and obtain a second geographical location associated with a virtual parking region. The first geographical location may be determined by the user terminal according a GPS signal. The virtual parking region may include parking space for vehicles. The processor may also be configured to cause the system to determine whether a distance between the first geographical location and the second geographical location is less than a threshold and obtain information associated with the virtual parking region in response to the determination that the distance is less than the threshold.
