A method and implementing computer system are provided for enabling
management of restricted parking spaces for vehicles. In an example, a
sensing system senses the presence of vehicles in predetermined parking
spaces and stores that information for subsequent processing. Particular
parking restrictions, or limited parking indicia, for given parking
spaces are displayed and viewable to vehicle operators. The posted
parking restriction indicia are selectively changeable to accommodate
various parking demand situations. The displayed limited parking indicia
may be changed from one type of limited parking to other types of limited
(or unlimited) parking from a remote server location, either selectively
by an administrator or in accordance with a stored parking authorization
plan or schedule. Vehicles are scanned for proper authorization for
predetermined types of parking spaces. Alarms or other notification
processes are implemented to provide notification of unauthorized
vehicles which are parked in restricted parking spaces.
