<p>Parking is an important but also time-, environment-, and resource intensive activity with concern in modern cities, and parking policies and access to parking plays a major role in the governance of transport- and road systems in urban environments. The invention represents a method, a system and a solution for locating, monitoring, verifying and reporting available parking spaces. The technology is built with receivers of GPS signals and/or sensors for detecting objects in the immediate vicinity. The information is communicated through a cable system, the Internet, communication- and/or mobile network to one or more applications at one or more servers, and is used in conjunction with other information to collectively account for available parking spaces on the streets, squares and parking houses with desired properties in the user's client tools and to serve as a source of information for individuals, businesses and organizations such as the state and municipalities for traffic planning, surveillance and the like. A variety of additional services can be linked to the invention, such as control of parking rules, pre-booked parking lots, et cetera. The solution brings significant cost and environmental savings.</p> |
