ABSTRACT:
An electronic parking meter mechanism that can be dis-assembled and re-assembled by parking authority personnel without the need for tooling. This electronic parking meter mechanism is compatible with any conventional parking meter housing, thereby allowing the device to replace either a mechanical parking meter mechanism or other electronic parking meter mechanisms. In addition, a rugged and secure vehicle detector unit can be electrically coupled to this electronic parking meter mechanism for providing vehicle detection information to the electronic parking meter, thereby allowing the meter to, among other things, reset any unused parking time, while being able to reliably detect the presence or absence of a vehicle in the corresponding parking space. Furthermore, this electronic parking meter utilizes unique and universal symbology for indicating a number of important parking space/meter conditions to both the parking authority personnel, as well as to patrons.
