Abstract
The parking space availability system is configured for use with a parking facility that further comprises a plurality of parking spaces. Each parking space contained within the plurality of parking spaces comprises an occupancy status selected from the group consisting of an open parking space and an occupied parking space. The parking space availability system comprises a surveillance device, one or more mapping devices and a wireless communication facility. The wireless communication facility wirelessly connects each of the one or more mapping devices to the surveillance device. The surveillance device forwards the location of each identified open parking space to the one or more mapping devices using the wireless communication facility. Each of the one or more mapping devices is used by a user to locate the identified open parking spaces.
