A method for managing parking spaces for vehicles, which spaces are located in a geographical area and are associated with a controller, configured to allocate one or more parking characteristics to said spaces, the method including collection and storage of historical navigation data of identified vehicles and/or of identified drivers, statistical analysis of said stored data to predict the use of the spaces by the identified vehicles and/or the identified drivers, and modification of one or more parking characteristics allocated by the controller according to predicted space use.

A parking guidance system of a parking lot includes: a first license plate number recognizing device recognizing a license plate number of a vehicle entering or exiting from a parking lot; and a server classifying a priority of the vehicle and distinguishing whether the vehicle is a parking or charging use vehicle based on the license plate number, assigning a parking or charging spot based on at least one of the classified priority, information on whether the vehicle is the parking use vehicle or the charging use vehicle, or information on remaining parking spots and remaining charging spots, providing a guidance on a position of the assigned parking spot or charging spot to the vehicle until the vehicle arrives at the position, and determining a parking fee or a charging fee of the vehicle and providing a guidance on the fee when the vehicle exits the parking lot.

A computer-implemented system includes a platform cloud server, and platform application software executable by the platform cloud server, the platform application software configured to close an access control gate to prevent a subject vehicle from exiting a secured vehicle parking facility at said access control gate unless an exit condition is satisfied, the exit condition including identity of the subject vehicle, receipt of an exit request to exit through the gate by touchless initiation, and actual receipt of payment by touchless initiation. A QR code is displayed to present the exit request, and a touchless vehicle detection system determines identity of the subject vehicle.

A parking lot management system for managing a parking lot intended for autonomous vehicles and manually driven vehicles includes: a reservation unit configured to reserve a parking space for an autonomous vehicle; and a reserved parking space notification unit configured to notify a manually driven vehicle in the parking lot of the reserved parking space.

A computer-implemented parking system including: a driver mobile electronic device configured to transmit a parking lot entry signal and a parking lot exit signal, and a coordinating computer system configured to receive the parking lot entry signal and the, parking lot exit signal, computer-controllable vehicle entry and vehicle exit barriers in communication with the coordinating computer system. The coordinating computer system is configured to: upon receipt of the entry signal transmit an open signal to the computer-controllable entry barrier station, and upon receipt of the exit signal transmit an open signal to the exit barrier station. Each entry and exit barrier station may include a receiver to receive the entry signal and parking lot exit signal, respectively. The receiver may be configured to detect or assist the coordinating computer system to detect, position of the driver mobile electronic device with reference to the computer-controllable entry or exit barrier station.

A parking assistance device includes: an order table configured to record an order of setting the guide routes for autonomous vehicles; a guide calculation unit that calculates the guide routes; a re-calculation unit that re-calculates, in accordance with the order, the guide routes for vehicles among the autonomous vehicles for which the guide routes not overlapping with each other cannot be calculated; a guide setting unit configured to: set the guide routes for vehicles among the autonomous vehicles for which the guide routes not overlapping with each other can be calculated; and not set the guide routes for the vehicles for which the guide routes not overlapping with each other cannot be calculated; a route transmission unit that transmits the set guide routes to the autonomous vehicles; and an order change unit that changes the order.

A method for the at least partially automated guidance of a motor vehicle within an infrastructure. The method comprises receipt of an instruction for the at least partially automated guidance of the motor vehicle within the infrastructure. In the event of a positive check of the instruction, the motor vehicle is guided in an at least partially automated manner within the infrastructure. A corresponding system, a computer program, and a machine-readable storage medium, are also described.

A vehicle control device is a vehicle control device mountable in a vehicle and including an acquirer configured to acquire positional information of a frame line of a second parking frame from other vehicle stopped at the second parking frame adjacent to a first parking frame at which the vehicle automatically parks, and a calculator configured to calculate a position of a frame line of the first parking frame on the basis of the positional information of the frame line of the second parking frame acquired by the acquirer.

An information-processing device includes a first controller configured to determine the number of users using a vehicle that enters or leaves a parking lot or a weight of the vehicle and a second controller configured to determine a position where the vehicle is stopped within a predetermined area of the parking lot on the basis of the number of users or the weight determined by the first controller.

A parking management system and methods of operation are disclosed. In one variation, a computer-implemented method comprises receiving positional data concerning a listing location from a listing client device; establishing a radius boundary based on the positional data; filtering one or more databases using the radius boundary to determine an amount of parking spaces listed and the amount of parking spaces reserved within a preset time period; calculating a location-specific transaction rate using the amount of parking spaces listed, the amount of parking spaces reserved, and the preset time period; determining a recommended listing price based on the location-specific transaction rate; and transmitting the recommended listing price to the listing client device.
