Abstract
A computer-implemented method leverages the capabilities present in common mobile communications devices—RF transceivers, Internet connectivity, payment system, geolocation system, notification system, and user interface—to simplify and reduce overhead from the parking experience. Furthermore, this method utilizes distributed authentication and authorization and multi-path queued message delivery to provide this experience when cellular or WiFi Internet connectivity is absent in the parking facility, simplifying and reducing the cost of deployment.
