Abstract

Due to the September 11^th terrorist attacks, the United States has since had a heightened awareness of inefficient security systems. Once of these such inefficient systems are the parking lot security systems. Because safety is such an important issue concerning the restricted parking facilities of important facilities, such as government office buildings and nuclear power plants, the Vehicle Control and Security System has been designed to maximize parking security. Through a process of vehicle and driver identification to take place at both the entrances and exits of the parking lots, both the vehicle and driver would have to be recognized as authorized figures in order to enter the parking facility. If either the vehicle information or driver information comes back from the computer as an unauthorized vehicle or driver, the gate would not be lifted to allow the vehicle to enter the facility. This process would ensure maximum security.

Claims

1. An entrance and exit of parking lot facilities that is designed to use both a radio frequency vehicle identification tag reader and a driver'"'"'s authorized wireless identification card reader for control and monitoring the parking facilities.

2. Any number, shape and size of the entrance and exit of parking lot facilities cover of claimed 1.
