Abstract
The invention relates to a system, method and equipments for the control, management and administration of regulated vehicles parking, on public and private roads, in an automatic and integrated manner, where the parked vehicles identification, as well as the parked time control and parking permits, including all related parking incidences, are detected and handled without the need of parking meters or permanent parking wardens, and the information is automatically transmitted to a Management Center, for its processing and administration. The Automatic Regulated Parking System (10) includes: A set of User Devices (11) which communicate with the User Management Center (16) by means of Smart Network Terminals (12), a set Smart Network Terminals (12), a set of network Access Nodes (13), a set of Network Nodes (14), a Network Control Center (15), a User Management Center (16) and a reduced set of Agent Mobile Terminals (17).

14. A Method for the Communication between the following Units:
- User Devices units (UD), Smart Network Terminals units (SNT), Agent Mobile Terminals units (AMT), Access Nodes units (AN), Network Nodes units (NN), Network Control Centre unit (NCC) and User Management Centre unit (UMC), comprising, in a Normal Case, that is when correct information is received by the SNT unit from a user device unit, the following steps;
a. The SNT sends a broadcast message to a User device unit, within the SNT coverage area, and the SNT waits for an identification message, b. The User device sends an identification message to the SNT and the SNT reports to the UMC, c. The UMC sends to the related SNT an accepted identification message and the SNT indicates correct identification to the UD, d. In case of not correct identification message; If it is detected by the SNT, the SNT reports to the related UD and to the UMC, If it is detected by the UMC, the UMC reports to the related SNT and the UD, e. The SNT performs a periodic scanning of UD status data, and the related UD reports on the identification of the user device state and on the incidences, events and circumstances, related to the UD vehicle and a vehicle driver, f. When a parking space has not been released correctly, the related SNT reports to the NCC and UMC, g. Along a parking time period, the set of User device units can interchange either current data or multimedia information with the UMC, in a machine to machine context, h. Along the a. up to g. steps, at any moment and for any system purpose, the SNT can exchange network information with the NCC, i. Along the steps a. up to h., at any moment and for some specific and authorized user management actions, the AMT can communicate with the UD and the UMC current data or complex audio, video, data or multimedia information. - View Dependent Claims (15)
