Abstract:
A novel fixed communication device includes a locator unit to receive and process information regarding current location, a sensing unit to determine parking status based on proximity of driver to fixed device and a wireless communication unit for information transfer to and from any mobile communications device. The system includes the fixed communications device which is coupled with a software program on a mobile communications device to gather and transmit parking information. A method includes logging parking behavior and parking location of a vehicle as determined by the fixed communications device, with data gathered to be stored in a central server for social communication purposes.
