SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING INTERNET-BASED VEHICLE PARKING REGISTRATION AND RESERVATION

摘要

A system and method are disclosed for internet-based vehicle registration and reservation, using a license plate as a vehicle identification. The system includes a secure remote database, a unique tag for a vehicle such as a state-issued license plate, and various stationary or mobile license plate reading units. The invention allows for a motorist to register a single vehicle or several vehicles, based on license plate(s). Payments can be made by credit card, general subscription or by any other payment method. Enforcement personnel can query the database to see if a particular parked vehicle has a valid reservation to park in a particular space.
