Problems solved by technology

This is often extremely difficult, if not impossible, as it is often difficult to judge the actual working status of a parking meter as this can only be done by looking at historical service records and determining that the meter should be operational
Given the size of the fines typically issued for parking violations, many cities would be jeopardizing a considerable amount of revenue if thousands of parking citations were routinely issued

Embodiment Construction

[0047] Reference numerals are used for steps and / or features in one or more figures, where steps and / or features having the same function or operation for the purpose of this description have the same reference numerals, unless a contrary purpose appears .

[0048] Some of the portions described below are presented explicitly or implicitly in terms of algorithms and symbolic representations of operations on data within a computer memory. These algorithmic descriptions and representations are the means used by those skilled in the data processing arts to most effectively convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art. An algorithm is here, and generally conceived of, a self-consistent series of steps leading to a desired result. The steps are those requiring actual manipulations of physical quantities. Usually, though not necessarily, these quantities take the form of electrical or magnetic signals capable of being stored, transferred, combined, compared or m...

Abstract

A parking citation (144) is disclosed, in relation to a vehicle (136) parked during a first time period in a parking space (108) associated with a parking meter (104), said citation comprising parking citation data (510) for the vehicle (136), and an automatically derived operational status (516) for the parking meter (104) during a time period in which a payment in respect of the first period could have been made, the operational status (516) on the citation (144) establishing whether the parking meter (104) was operative during the first time period. A method and a system for issuing the citation are also disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of parking meters, and in particular to the implementation problems that arise in the management of these systems. The present invention relates to systems and methods for issuing parking citations, and to parking citations themselves. The present invention also relates to a computer program product comprising a computer readable medium having recorded thereon a program for issuing a parking citation. Background technique [0002] The constant increase in the number of motor vehicles entering cities around the world has forced city planners as well as regulatory authorities to find ways to allocate and control the scarce parking spaces on streets. Typically, the measures taken include the use of a parking meter system where the driver of the motor vehicle pays an appropriate amount in exchange for a corresponding measure of time during which the driver of the motor vehicle Car drivers' cars can be ...
