ABSTRACT:
A computerized ticket dispensing 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. A first ticket is dispensed at the entrance showing the license plate and the time of entrance. The system also produces a ticket at a cashier's station at the exit showing the license plate and the time of exit. Both tickets are given to the cashier who determines the amount due, and when the amount is paid the cashier opens the gate. The system may also be automatic with a currency machine being provided which opens the exit gate when the proper parking fee has been inserted into the currency machine.
