The Automatic Vehicle Detection System (AutoVDS) is a system that detects available spaces in a parking lot and relays the information to the Internet where it is available to interested drivers. AutoVDS will save drivers time and aggravation by informing them of parking availability before they get to the lot, allowing them to pick the best lot if they have a choice. AutoVDS consists of four main components: Digital camera Central processor w/ camera control and detection software Information database The camera and control unit are mounted above the lot - on a building or parking garage for example. The control unit enables the camera to take still pictures of the lot at regular intervals. The images are then run through our detection software, which uses edge detection to determine whether or not each space contains a car. The results are sent via a wireless connection to a web-server (A PC with a permanent connection to the Internet located inside a nearby building), and are stored in a database. The database is linked to a dynamic web page so that drivers can access the information before departing, or while en-route to the lots. In addition those drivers who do not have Internet access may call an automated phone service to be informed of the number of available parking spaces. There are numerous applications for AutoVDS. It will be a great tool not only for drivers commuting to work, school, or the mall, but also for parking lot attendants who are in charge of large lots such as those at sporting events. And in addition to alerting users of available parking spaces, the AutoVDS can be used to inform parking attendants or towing companies of cars that are parked in illegal areas.
