Abstract
News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: “Parking facilities employ gates to manage the use of their space, often requiring vehicles to pass through a gate upon one or more of entr y and exit. As many parking facilities employ autonomous gates that are fully au tomated, human awareness cannot be relied upon to ensure that gates are properly in operation at all times. In particular, it may be difficult for the parking f acility to determine when the gate is broken or in need of repairs, which could result in various problems, such as safety issues where unwanted vehicles enter, or where a broken exit gate blocks drivers from exiting the facility.”
