Vehicle detection systems and methods of operation thereof

Abstract

A parking management system and methods of operation are disclosed. In one variation, a computer-implemented method comprises receiving positional data concerning a listing location from a listing client device; establishing a radius boundary based on the positional data; filtering one or more databases using the radius boundary to determine an amount of parking spaces listed and the amount of parking spaces reserved within a preset time period; calculating a location-specific transaction rate using the amount of parking spaces listed, the amount of parking spaces reserved, and the preset time period; determining a recommended listing price based on the location-specific transaction rate; and transmitting the recommended listing price to the listing client device.

         2 . A parking management system comprising:
 a memory; and   one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors being configured to:
 receive parking location data relating to a parking location from a listing client device; 
 determine a radius boundary based on the parking location data, wherein the radius boundary is centered on the parking location; 
 determine a number of listings within the radius boundary; 
 determine a recommended listing price for the parking location based on the parking location data and one or more parameters including the number of listings within the radius boundary; and 
 transmit a signal including the recommended listing price to the listing client device. 
   
     
     
         3 . The parking management system of  claim 2 , wherein the parking location data received from the listing client device includes at least one of a type of the parking location, a size of the parking location, an availability time period of the parking location, a preferred listing price, and a distance to an event venue. 
     
     
         4 . The parking management system of  claim 2 , wherein the one or more parameters include at least one of a number of available listings, a number of occupied listings, and an average listing price of the listings within the radius boundary. 
     
     
         5 . The parking management system of  claim 2 , wherein determining the radius boundary is based on a size of a geographic region in which the parking location is located. 
     
     
         6 . The parking management system of  claim 2 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
 adjust the radius boundary based on the number of listings within the radius boundary.   
     
     
         7 . The parking management system of  claim 2 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
 adjust the radius boundary based on a time of day, a day of week or month, a season, or a combination thereof.   
     
     
         8 . The parking management system of  claim 2 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
 determine a recommended availability time for the parking location; and   transmit the signal including the recommended availability time to the listing client device.   
     
     
         9 . The parking management system of  claim 2 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
 determine that the number of listings within the radius boundary is below a listing threshold; and   transmit an alert signal to the listing client device to list the parking location for rent.   
     
     
         10 . The parking management system of  claim 2 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
 determine a recommended penalty rate for the parking location, wherein the recommended penalty rate is charged when a use time of the parking location exceeds a reservation time period.   
     
     
         11 . The parking management system of  claim 2 , wherein determining the recommended listing price includes:
 determining a transaction rate for the listings within the radius boundary, wherein the transaction rate is the number of the listings within the radius boundary divided by a predetermined time period.   
     
     
         12 . A method comprising:
 receiving parking location data relating to a parking location from a listing client device;   determining a radius boundary based on the parking location data, wherein the radius boundary is centered on the parking location;   determining a number of listings within the radius boundary;   determining a recommended listing price for the parking location based on the parking location data and one or more parameters including the number of listings within the radius boundary; and   transmitting a signal including the recommended listing price to the listing client device.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the parking location data received from the listing client device includes at least one of a type of the parking location, a size of the parking location, an availability time period of the parking location, a preferred listing price, and a distance to an event venue. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the one or more parameters include at least one of a number of available listings, a number of occupied listings, and an average listing price of the listings within the radius boundary. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein determining the radius boundary is based on a size of a geographic region in which the parking location is located. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 adjusting the radius boundary based on the number of listings within the radius boundary.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 adjusting the radius boundary based on a time of day, a day of week or month, a season, or a combination thereof.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 determining a recommended availability time for the parking location; and   transmitting the signal including the recommended availability time to the listing client device.   
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 determining that the number of listings within the radius boundary is below a listing threshold; and   transmitting an alert signal to the listing client device to list the parking location for rent.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 determining a recommended penalty rate for the parking location, wherein the recommended penalty rate is charged when a use time of the parking location exceeds a reservation time period.   
     
     
         21 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
 receive parking location data relating to a parking location from a listing client device;   determine a radius boundary based on the parking location data, wherein the radius boundary is centered on the parking location;   determine a number of listings within the radius boundary;   determine a recommended listing price for the parking location based on the parking location data and one or more parameters including the number of listings within the radius boundary; and   transmit a signal including the recommended listing price to the listing client device.
