S P E C I F I C A T I O N COMPUTERIZED PARKING SYSTEM ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A computerized parking system which includes a first camera for reading the license plate of a vehicle entering a parking area, and a second camera for reading the license plate of the vehicle as it leaves the parking area. In each instance, the letters and numbers on the license plate of each vehicle are converted into digital signals. The system responds to the digital signals from the cameras to determine the time of entry and time of exit of the vehicle, and the time vehicle remained in the parking area is then determined. The parking fee due for each vehicle is computed on the basis of a predetermined rate or rates and on the time in which the particular vehicle remained in the parking area. The system then produces a ticket, or a visual display, at a cashier's station at the exit on which the amount to be paid is recorded, and when that amount is paid the cashier opens the gate. In the case of a monthly customer, the gate may be opened automatically as the particular vehicle reaches the exit gate, and the amount due for that vehicle is accumulated within the computer for monthly billing. The system may also be automatic for the daily customer, with a currency machine being provided which opens the exit gate when the proper parking fee has been inserted into the machine. -1-
