PARKING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Abstract

ABSTRACT A parking management system (100) comprising a plurality of sensors (102) configured to detect the presence or absence of vehicles in a parking space, at least one processor (104) coupled to the plurality of sensors (102), the at least one processor (104) is configured to predict availability of the parking space based at least on output from the plurality of sensors (102) and a user interface (106) communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors (102) and the at least one processor (104), the user interface (106) is configured to provide updates regarding availability of the parking space in real time

Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0001] This invention generally relates to a management system and in particular relates to a parking management system that helps in determining available parking spaces and assists in navigating towards the available parking spaces.
BACKGROUND

[0002] The subject matter discussed in the background section should not be assumed to be prior art merely as a result of its mention in the background section. Similarly, a problem mentioned in the background section or associated with the subject matter of the background section should not be assumed to have been previously recognized in the prior art. The subject matter in the background section merely represents different approaches, which in and of themselves may also correspond to implementations of the claimed technology.
[0003] With increasing urbanization and a surge in the number of vehicles in metropolitan areas, finding available parking spaces has become a persistent challenge for drivers. The time spent searching for parking c , Claims:1. A parking management system (100) comprising:
a plurality of sensors (102) configured to detect the presence or absence of vehicles in a parking space;
at least one processor (104) coupled to the plurality of sensors (102), wherein the at least one processor (104) is configured to predict availability of the parking space based at least on output from the plurality of sensors (102); and
a user interface (106) communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors (102) and the at least one processor (104), wherein the user interface (106) is configured to provide updates regarding availability of the parking space in real time.

2. The parking management system (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the plurality of sensors (102) may include ultrasonic sensors, infrared sensors, magnetic sensors, camera based sensors or pressure sensors.
