Abstract
The disclosure provides a parking management system and a parking management method. The parking management system can comprise one or more servers in communication with one or more vehicles. The one or more vehicles can be configured to be shared and utilized by one or more users for transportation. The one or more servers can be configured to receive location data from the one or more vehicles, and determine, based on the received location data and for each vehicle, whether the vehicle is located within one or more predefined parking areas when (1) the vehicle is not in use or (2) upon completion of a transportation trip by the vehicle.
Claims17
A parking management system, comprising:
- one or more servers in communication with one or more vehicles, wherein the one or more vehicles are configured to be shared and utilized by one or more users for transportation, and wherein the one or more servers are configured to:
- receive location data from the one or more vehicles;
- determine, based at least in part on the received location data and for each vehicle, whether the vehicle is located within one or more predefined parking areas when the vehicle is not in use or upon completion of a transportation trip by the vehicle;
- wherein the one or more predefined parking areas comprises a plurality of partitions, wherein each partition of the plurality of partitions is configured to accommodate no more than one vehicle at a time, wherein the one or more servers are configured to determine whether each of the plurality of partitions is unoccupied or occupied by a vehicle, and wherein the one or more predefined parking areas comprises a dockless parking area, and transmit a signal to a target vehicle when the target vehicle is not located within the one or more predefined parking areas upon completion of a transportation trip, wherein the one or more vehicles comprise the target vehicle, and wherein the signal is configured to cause a continuation of a charging for the transportation trip.
1 more element
A parking management method, comprising:
- receiving location data from one or more vehicles, wherein the one or more vehicles are in communication with one or more servers, and wherein the one or more vehicles are configured to be shared and utilized by one or more users for transportation;
- and determining, based at least in part on the received location data and for each vehicle, whether the vehicle is located within one or more predefined parking areas when the vehicle is not in use or upon completion of a transportation trip by the vehicle;
- wherein the one or more predefined parking areas comprises a plurality of partitions, wherein each partition of the plurality of partitions is configured to accommodate no more than one vehicle at a time, wherein the one or more servers are further configured to determine whether each of the plurality of partitions is unoccupied or occupied by a vehicle, and wherein the one or more predefined parking areas comprises a dockless parking area, transmit a signal to a target vehicle when the target vehicle is not located within the one or more predefined parking areas upon completion of a transportation trip, wherein the one or more vehicles comprise the target vehicle, and wherein the signal is configured to cause a continuation of a charging for the transportation trip.
A non-transitory computer-related medium storing executable instructions causing a parking management system to perform:
- receiving location data from one or more vehicles, wherein the one or more vehicles are in communication with one or more servers, and wherein the one or more vehicles are configured to be shared and utilized by one or more users for transportation;
- and determining, based at least in part on the received location data and for each vehicle, whether the vehicle is located within one or more predefined parking areas when the vehicle is not in use or upon completion of a transportation trip by the vehicle;
- wherein the one or more predefined parking areas comprises a plurality of partitions, wherein each partition of the plurality of partitions is configured to accommodate no more than one vehicle at a time, and wherein the one or more servers are further configured to determine whether each of the plurality of partitions is unoccupied or occupied by a vehicle, and wherein the one or more predefined parking areas comprises a dockless parking area, transmit a signal to a target vehicle when the target vehicle is not located within the one or more predefined parking areas upon completion of a transportation trip, wherein the one or more vehicles comprise the target vehicle, and wherein the signal is configured to cause a continuation of a charging for the transportation trip.
