This is achieved by means of the "Signaling System to indicate the status and location of the parking spaces", conditioning the parking area with strategically distributed signs by means of which the motorist can identify in advance, by means of said signs, the boxes They are busy and unoccupied as well as their location. For this, devices capable of detecting the presence of a motor vehicle (pressure, motion, electromagnetic sensors, etc.) will be available in each parking lot and, through them, update the signals to indicate the current state of the drawers.
Los efectos ventajosos consisten en que el automovilista decide con anticipación que cajón de estacionamiento ocupará su vehículo automotor, porque tendrá conocimiento previo de que cajones se encuentra ocupados y desocupados asi como también la ubicación de los mismos. Por tal motivo no tendrá necesidad de observar detenidamente cada cajón de estacionamiento, por consecuencia se agilizará la vialidad dentro del área de estacionamiento asi como también evitará la distracción por parte de los automovilistas disminuyendo los accidentes dentro del área de estacionamiento. DIFERENCIAS DE LA INVENCIÓN CON LAS INVENCIONES SEMEJANTES.The advantageous effects are that the motorist decides in advance which parking lot will occupy his motor vehicle, because he will have prior knowledge of which drawers are occupied and unoccupied, as well as their location.
