Abstract
A method and its implementation device to supervise the parking of vehicles in a geographic domain. The instantaneous occupancy status of the parking area of the geographic domain is obtained at a time t. The instantaneous turnover rate of parking in the parking area is obtained at the time t. The future occupancy rate is computed at a time (t+Δt) and its probability from the instantaneous occupancy status and the instantaneous turnover rate at the time t. The future occupancy rate or the future occupancy probability is provided if either is below or above a predefined threshold. The device and method guides motorists to available parking spaces and optimizes the enforcement of the parking area, particularly by on-street parking enforcement officers.

A device for supervising parking of vehicles in a geographic domain, comprising:
- a set of sensors configured to determine presences and parking of vehicles in a parking area of the geographic domain;
- a data aggregator configured to retrieve data generated by the set of the sensors and comprising a computer configured to perform statistical computations on the data;
- a repository, in a digital form, comprising:
- a spatial repository comprising a geographic description of the geographic domain and a parking area;
- a tariff repository comprising tariff ranges and their association with the parking area;
- a regulatory repository comprising regulatory provisions associated with the parking area;
- and
- an application module configured to provide information to terminals.
A method for supervising parking of vehicles in a geographic domain using a supervising device comprising a set of sensors, a data aggregator, a repository and an application module, the method comprising the steps of:
- obtaining an instantaneous occupancy status of a parking area of the geographic domain at a time t using the data aggregator, the sensors determines presence and parking of vehicles in the parking area, the data aggregator retrieves data generated by the set of the sensors, the data aggregator comprises a computer configured to perform statistical computations on the data, the repository, in a digital form, comprises a spatial repository comprising a geographic description of the geographic domain and the parking area, a tariff repository comprising tariff ranges and their association with the parking area, and a regulatory repository comprising regulatory provisions associated with the parking area;
- obtaining an instantaneous turnover rate of parking over a period T in the parking area at a time t using the data aggregator;
- computing a future occupancy rate and its probability at a time (t+Δt) from the instantaneous occupancy status and the instantaneous turnover rate;
- providing information to terminals by the application module in response to a determination that the future occupancy rate or its probability is below or above a predefined threshold.
