(54) Parking Locator


(57) A parking locator (104) having one or more sensors (108) and a logic device is disclosed herein. The sensors (108) are generally configured to detect the presence of an object within a parking space (112). The logic device determines whether a vehicle is present within a parking space based on information from the sensors and may communicate this to one or more external devices. The parking locator includes a body (120) to which the one or more sensors and logic device are attached. The body may conform to a parking header (116) or curb. Parking locators may be configured in a parking locator system comprising clusters of one or more parking locators which communicate to a location server or other external device. The location server may organize and store parking information and communicate parking information to user devices.
