Computer-Implemented System And Method For Providing Management Of Motor Vehicle Parking Spaces During Scheduled Street Sweeping
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented system for providing management of motor vehicle parking spaces during scheduled street sweeping, comprising:
- a centrally-located server configured to manage a multiplicity of motor vehicle parking spaces, to interface over a computer network, and to comprise a memory and a computer processor, the computer processor operatively coupled to the memory and configured to execute computer executable program modules, comprising;
a plurality of smart parking devices that are each physically proximate to and which correspond to at least one of the parking spaces interfaced with the server via the computer network;
a plurality of vehicle occupancy sensors that are also each physically proximate to and which correspond to at least one of the parking spaces interfaced with the server via the computer network; and
a plurality of parking availability indicators that are each associated with at least one of the parking spaces interfaced with the server via the computer network;
a street sweeping module configured to plan street sweeping activity affecting the parking spaces through the server, comprising;
a schedule module configured to schedule the street sweeping activity comprising times and dates over which street sweeping of the parking spaces will occur; and
a request rejection module configured to deny any requests for reserving the use of the parking spaces during the street sweeping activity; and
the server configured to manage use of the parking space contemporaneous to the street sweeping activity, comprising;
a parking indicator module configured to activate the parking availability indicators associated with the parking spaces affected by the street sweeping activity; and
the nearest vehicle occupancy sensor configured to sense occupancy of each of the parking spaces by a motor vehicle.

Abstract
A system and method for managing a multiplicity of motor vehicle parking spaces through a server is provided. Smart parking devices and vehicle occupancy sensors that are each physically proximate to and which correspond to at least one of the parking spaces is interfaced with the server. Parking availability indicators that are each associated with at least one of the parking spaces is interfaced with the server. Street sweeping activity affecting the parking spaces is planned and comprising times and dates over which street sweeping of the parking spaces will occur. Any requests for reserving the use of the parking spaces during the street sweeping activity is denied. The parking availability indicators are activated associated with the parking spaces affected by the street sweeping activity. Occupancy of each of the parking spaces by a motor vehicle is sensed through the nearest vehicle occupancy sensor.
