    摘要: A radio frequency identification (RFID) switch tag is disclosed. This RFID switch tag includes a base component having an ultra-high frequency (UHF) booster, and a detachable component having at least one UHF RFID module and a high frequency (HF) RFID module. In some embodiments, the detachable component is positioned in close proximity to the base component in a first configuration of the RFID switch tag such that the at least one UHF RFID module is sufficiently coupled to the UHF booster in the base component to form an UHF RFID system having a desired performance. The detachable component can also be separated from the base component to obtain a second configuration of the RFID switch tag, and the HF RFID module remains functional within the detached detachable component so that the detachable component can be used as a standalone HF RFID tag.

    摘要: An autonomous vehicle parking system includes a parking system server that is in electronic communication with an autonomous vehicle. The server executes programming instructions that cause it to receive a parking location request from the autonomous vehicle, identify one or more parking zones that are proximate to the autonomous vehicle, determine an estimated density and a distance from a present location of the autonomous vehicle for each the parking zones, use the estimated densities and the distances to select one of the parking zones as a destination zone, and provide the autonomous vehicle with a geographic identifier for the destination zone. After the vehicle identifies an available parking space in the destination zone, the system will initiate a transaction with a parking service provider to authorize the autonomous vehicle to park in the destination zone for a period of time.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides various examples of a self-declaring wireless device installed on a vehicle operable to automatically detect, determine and declare occupancy information of the vehicle traveling on a restricted traffic lane to an electronic toll collection (ETC) system. According to one aspect, a process for performing self-declaration by a vehicle traveling on a restricted traffic lane includes the steps of: receiving sensor data collected by one or more sensors installed on the vehicle; determining occupancy data of the vehicle based on the received sensor data; and controlling a wireless transceiver installed on the vehicle to communicate with an electronic toll collection (ETC) system associated with the restricted traffic lane based on the determined occupancy data.

    摘要: Systems and methods for facilitating parking sessions are provided. The system including at least one server that is configured to: receive through a communication network, from a first remote user equipment (UE) device, information associating a unique identification (UID) encoded on an passive NFC tag with a parking zone identification (ID) that identifies a physical parking zone; update a database to associate the UID with the parking zone ID and parking rate data for the physical parking zone; host or receive a URL that includes the UID; receive, through the communication network, a message including: a license plate number from a second remote user equipment (UE) device that has read the URL from the NFC tag; and record a parking session for the license plate number for the parking zone based on the message from the second remote UE.

    摘要: A parking lot guidance system includes: a determination unit configured to determine whether the parking lot is in a congested state based on a result of detection from a detection unit; a selection unit configured to select a predetermined number of empty spaces in the parking lot based on a determination from the determination unit; and a display unit configured to display the predetermined number of empty spaces. The selection unit selects the empty spaces from further inside in an extending direction of the vehicle passage in a first parking block which is a parking block including an empty space and being closer to a facility entrance provided at a position different from that of a parking lot entrance of the parking lot out of a plurality of parking blocks along a plurality of vehicle passages when the determination unit determines that the parking lot is in the congested state.
