parking monitoring system and method for monitoring parking monitoring system

摘要

A parking monitoring system includes a device having a unique identifier; a reader that, when located in close proximity to the device, reads the unique identifier of the device; the device being located within a parking bay such that, when the parking bay is occupied by a vehicle, access to the device by the reader is restricted, thereby restricting the reader's ability to read the unique identifier of the device; and a database that stores the status of the parking bays; and the steps of: instructing a user via the reader within a predetermined time period to read the unique identifier of the device in a bay that, according to the database, is vacant; and locating the reader within such predetermined time period in close proximity to such device to read the unique identifier of such device and thereby confirm the vacant status of such bay on the database.
