Abstract: A vehicle presence detection system for determining whether a parking space is vacant or occupied and utilizing this information to guide vehicles to available parking spaces. generally includes a LIDAR device, a cloud-based processing unit, a database, and a guidance light. The LIDAR device generally includes a light emitter, a light sensor, a CPU, a memory unit, and a communications device. The LIDAR device determines the distance between itself and a parking spot or a vehicle parked in that parking spot using an algorithm that accounts for variances in the ambient conditions. This status information can be communicated to a cloud-based processing unit, which can store this information in a database and/or use this information to send parking status indications to an autonomous vehicle dynamic sign, mobile device, or guidance light.

Abstract: A traffic management system for effectively guiding traffic. The traffic management system generally includes a gateway device in communication with a telecommunications network, a plurality of parking sensors in wireless communication with the gateway device, a management server in communication with the parking sensors via the telecommunications network, and at least one traffic management device in wireless communication with the gateway device. The management server determines the availability of parking spaces in a parking lot and identifies which traffic management device to activate to indicate the availability of the parking spaces within a zone.

Abstract: A location-based vehicle parking system for efficiently managing vehicle parking permissions for a parking space. The location-based vehicle parking system generally includes determining the presence of a vehicle within a parking space by a parking sensor, communicating sensor data to a management server, communicating vehicle data to the management server by a permit device within the vehicle, and determining if the vehicle is authorized to park within the parking space. A communication is sent to an inspector to manually verify permissions for a vehicle in a parking space if not authorized.

Abstract: A vehicle parking event initiated promotional material system for providing promotional material to a mobile device initiated by a vehicle parking event. The vehicle parking event initiated promotional material system generally includes a user entering a parking identifier into an application on their mobile device, wherein the parking identifier is associated with a particular parking zone, parking spot or combination of both. The parking identifier is communicated to a server that determines if there are any promotional materials (e.g. advertisements) available for the parking identifier. If one or more promotional materials are identified by the server, the server then compares the promotional materials to the user's preferences to determine if a promotional material is within the user's preferences. Once an acceptable promotional material is identified by the server, the server communicates the promotional material to the application on the mobile device and the promotional material is then displayed to the user on the display screen of the mobile device.

Abstract: A vehicle barrier gate system which is positioned above a roadway through which vehicles pass. Some of the various embodiments of the present disclosure include a gate comprised of an arm and barrier which is adjustable between a raised position in which a vehicle may pass and a lowered position in which a vehicle is prevented from passing. The gate may be movably connected to a ceiling or an overhead support structure positioned above the roadway. Various types of actuators may be utilized to adjust the gate along a linear and/or angular path between the raised and lowered positions. A control unit may be in communication with one or more sensors and/or an authorization system to control the actuator. The gate may include a breakaway mechanism which allows the gate to be manually raised or lowered in the event of actuator failure or a vehicle ramming through the gate.

Abstract: A vehicle flow monitoring system for detecting both a car count and direction of movement of vehicles passing a point of interest. The vehicle flow monitoring system generally includes a car counter which may include a microcontroller and a pair of distance sensors. Each of the distance sensors is oriented toward a unique point of interest. Each of the distance sensors includes a threshold distance reading which is used to detect whether a vehicle has passed underneath the car counter. The system may determine direction of travel of the vehicle based on which of the distance sensors is passed by the vehicle first.
The microcontroller may assign an Event ID to each time a vehicle passes each of the sensors, with the Event ID being used to identify when and if the vehicle should be counted, or whether a non-vehicle object has passed the car counter.-

Abstract: Vehicle barrier systems that can selectively move a barrier arm between a first position that prevents a vehicle from passing, or a second position that allows the vehicle to pass, wherein the barrier arm moves both upwardly away from a travel path and laterally along the travel path in a direction away from the vehicle. The barrier arm movement thereby leads the driver of the vehicle through the barrier system in a sweeping or leading movement. In some embodiments, an actuator assembly of the barrier system includes a breakaway assembly coupled to the barrier arm. In the event that an abnormal force (e.g. vehicle strike, vandalism, etc.) applied to the barrier arm exceeds a predetermined threshold, one or more drive magnets of the breakaway assembly disengage from the one or more magnetically-attractive elements to prevent damage to the barrier system.
