    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods are provided herein for monitoring a parking area. A system for monitoring a parking area comprises an image database storing a plurality of images of a parking lot taken by one or more satellites over time, a baseline database storing baseline models of a plurality of sections of the parking lot, and a control circuit coupled to the image database and the baseline database. The control circuit being configured to: determine a utilization condition for each of the plurality of sections of the parking lot based on performing image analysis on the plurality of images of the parking lot, compare the utilization condition for each of the plurality of sections of the parking lot with the baseline model of the plurality of sections of the parking lot, and in an event that the utilization condition of a section of the plurality of sections of the parking lot substantially deviates from the baseline model of the section, automatically generate an action recommendation for the section of the parking lot.

    Abstract: A system for recognizing an occupancy status of, in particular unmarked, parking facilities is provided, which system includes: a) a plurality of occupancy sensors that are disposed, at a specific distance from one another, on or above an area to be detected; b) a central monitoring unit on which a virtual image of the area to be detected is stored and which is embodied to communicate with the occupancy sensors and to receive sensor data or information regarding the occupancy status at the location or in the vicinity of the respective sensor, the positions of the individual occupancy sensors being known to the central monitoring unit, and the central monitoring unit being embodied to create a virtual image of the occupancy status of the area to be detected and to recognize vacant and occupied sub-areas as a function of the sensor data.
