ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for the automatic management of vehicle access to a restricted access area. The system includes at least one base transceiver positioned at least at one location providing an entrance to and an exit from said restricted access area. The system also includes a plurality of vehicle borne transponders, and an independent management computer. As vehicles attempt to access the restricted area, the base transceiver, the vehicle transponders, and the independent management computer communicate to monitor and regulate the vehicle access. According to one embodiment, the invention automatically manages access to a commercial parking facility. In another embodiment, the invention automatically dispatches taxicabs from a corral area. In a further embodiment, the invention controls vehicle access to facilities such as gated communities, and employee and student parking areas.
