1. A monitoring system for a parking space, comprising:
- a monitor corresponding to the parking space and positioned at the parking space, the monitor recording a state of the parking space, the state comprising an occupied state and a vacant state;
when the monitor identifies an RFID tag within the parking space, the monitor recording the occupied state of the parking space;
when the monitor identifies the RFID tag is no longer within the parking space, the monitor recording the vacant state of the parking space;
a data transceiver; and
a data center, the data center communicating with the monitor using the data transceiver, and storing the vacant state and/or the occupied state of the parking space.

Abstract
A monitoring system for a parking space includes a number of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, a monitor, a data transceiver, and a data center. The monitor corresponds to one of the parking spaces and is positioned in the parking space. When the monitor identifies an RFID tag within the parking space, the monitor records an occupied state of the parking space. When the monitor identifies the RFID tag is no longer within the parking space, the monitor records a vacant state of the parking space. The data center communicates with the monitors using the data transceiver, and stores the vacant state and/or the occupied state of the parking space.

10. A computer-implemented monitoring method, comprising:
-
monitoring a parking space by identifying whether an RFID tag is within the parking space; recording that the parking space is in an occupied state in a log when the RFID tag is identified within the parking space, and sending a parking start time of the parking space and the occupied state of the parking space to a data center; and recording that the parking space is in a vacant state when the RFID tag is not identified within the parking space, and sending a parking end time of the parking space and the vacant state of the parking space to a data center.
