Embodiments of the method are also disclosed that include calculating the parking fee so that a longer vehicle is charged more than a shorter vehicle for parking in the selected parking area. Other embodiments of the disclosed method include calculating the parking fee based on different length ranges that include at least a first length range and a second length range. The first length range has lengths that are shorter than lengths in the second length range. The parking fee is based on which length range the length of the vehicle falls within.

US Classification:

340/479000

Abstract:

A motorcycle helmet having a ring of light enables the wearer to be seen by anyone, no matter where that person is on a circle centered on the wearer. The ring of light is attached to the shell of the helmet and extends completely around the helmet. The ring of light has a circumferential housing containing a right housing segment, a left housing segment, and a rear housing segment, each containing at least one light. A lens covering is provided over the lights on each segment. The light or lights and lens on the rear segment should together produce a red light beam when the light is activated. A receiver on the ring of light is connected to the lights in the left, right and rear housing segments. The receiver is activated by a transmitter on the motorcycle that is connected to the bike's electrical system. When the brake light or signal lights are activated the transmitter sends signals which the receiver uses to selectively activate the lights in the ring of light. A battery is provided on the ring of light and is connected to the lights and the receiver.
