A parking guidance and vehicle control system (10). The present invention provides information regarding the relative availability of parking spaces within a parking facility and traffic conditions of neighboring streets and exits of the parking facility. Furthermore, the present invention provides information regarding vehicle location and emergency locations within a parking garage or other parking facility. The system relies on sensing equipment (1), which relays data to controllers and a central computer (10A), which determines the occupancy status of a plurality of spaces. The sensors (1) can also detect and relay information regarding traffic conditions at exits and neighboring streets of the parking facility. The information is displayed at strategically located displays (42) inside and outside of the parking facility. The information obtained from the sensors (1) at each parking space may be used to provide information to the parking management office and may also be used to post to the Internet (15) in real time.
