An improved airport parking communication system is provided. When a customer arrives at a parking lot, the customer is provided a radio frequency identification tag. The customer's name and vehicle slot number are electronically written onto the radio frequency identification tag as well as entered into a parking system database. This occurs before the customer enters the courtesy bus for the terminal of the airport. When the customer returns to the airport and gathers their luggage, the customer moves to an island that includes readers that read the information stored in the radio frequency identification tag carried by the customer. The information is transmitted to the parking lot, where the information is used to dispatch a courtesy bus to retrieve the customer, or to communicate with a courtesy bus already en route. This information is also displayed to an attendant so that the attendant may use the information to retrieve the customer's vehicle and to deliver the customer's vehicle to a delivery area. In this manner, the customer's vehicle will be waiting for the customer when the customer arrives at the parking lot. The customer need not take any other action than carrying the RFID tag to the island to be retrieved. |
