This invention is substantially a method, apparatus and system for securing (protecting and/or controlling) areas of use of vehicles (i.e. mobile entities of any type). A new and useful system and method for recognizing a vehicle which has a pre-identified and readable "Onboard Identity" (OI) for creating a system defined "Signature" (SI) used to secure this specific vehicle in a storage/parking area or zone of activity. Additionally and/or alternately the invention may be specifically for characterizing a non-OI equipped vehicle and creating a useable "Characteristic Identity" (CI) based upon the entering vehicle's physical characteristics captured and stored during entry to a secured or securable area. Using the system captured CI details, a system defined SI is also created to secure this specific vehicle in a storage/parking area or zone of activity. A Ticket/Tag encoded with the vehicle unique SI is provide to the vehicle operator for reclaiming/removing the vehicle at a later time. The invention further relates to features which provide for identification of the vehicle which entered as authorized to exit, primarily based upon confirmation of the identical nature of the exiting vehicle and the OI and/or CI identity codes and SI created for that vehicle upon entry plus the proper/authorized use by the exiting vehicle operator of the T/T issued at the time of vehicle entry. The invention is able to effectively identify, monitor and potentially control vehicle access to and exit from a secured area such as a parking lot, staging/storage area or a public, private or government facility of any type or configuration where security can be reasonably exercised for "definable areas/zones" of any type accessed by vehicles (mobile entities) including but not limited to towns, cities, tunnels, bridges, terminals of any type (bus stations, train stations, airports, subways, depots and the like).
