A method for managing an automatic parking lot involves determining a target space depending on an expected departure date of the vehicle, using a computation including allocating, to a new vehicle entering the lot, a target storage space according to the following rule: selection of spaces corresponding to one of the following criteria: o in the case where a row comprises at least one available proximal space, in front of a vehicle associated with a departure date after the departure date of the entering vehicle, o in the case where a row comprises at least one distal proximal space, positioning in a row the last vehicle of which is associated with a departure date before the departure date of the entering vehicle, allocating the target space to one of the selected spaces—otherwise allocating a space in a temporary storage zone including lanes of consecutive spaces.

A control device includes a getting-into/out facility selection unit configured to select one or more getting-into/out facilities where a vehicle to be parked in a parking lot will stop from among a plurality of getting-into/out facilities on the basis of at least information indicating a driving assistance level at which driving assistance can be executed by the vehicle and information associated with the parking lot having the plurality of getting-into/out facilities and a guidance unit configured to guide the vehicle to the selected getting-into/out facility.

A single-row multilayer storage warehouse system comprises a plurality of storage layers, a plurality of storage warehouse lifting apparatus, shafts arranged at both ends and/or in the middle of the storage warehouse system, a plurality of supporting mechanisms, a supporting mechanism lifting apparatus and a plurality of self-delivering trolleys. Each storage layer is provided with a plurality of storage shelf groups arranged symmetrically side by side; each storage shelf comprises a first supporting component for storing goods and a first rail; the first supporting component is arranged at the lower part of the storage shelf; the first rail is arranged at the upper part of the storage shelf; the self-delivering trolleys is capable of running between the rails of the storage shelves on the lower layer and the bottom of the first supporting component of the storage shelves on the layer.

The invention relates to a parking platform for a motor vehicle, in particular for a motorized parking apparatus for a motor vehicle. Profile parts are provided which are arranged next to each other along a longitudinal direction and preferably are connected to each other and form a parking space for the motor vehicle. The profile parts each comprise a base region and a projecting region projecting therefrom. In order to provide a generic parking platform with high stability and increased user friendliness for a vehicle operator, the profile parts each comprise a profile section which has at least one base region and at least one projecting region, as well as a covering section which is arranged next to the profile section and is connected thereto. The covering section of a profile part covers at least one projecting region of an adjacent profile part.

The disclosure relates to a method for transferring a motor vehicle to an automatic parking system which is designed to transfer the motor vehicle to a free parking space of the parking system without a driver. The parking system transmits a release code (C) to the motor vehicle, said release code being output in the motor vehicle so as to be perceivable to a motor vehicle user. After leaving the motor vehicle, the motor vehicle user transmits the release code to the parking system in order to grant a drive release. As soon as the drive release is granted, the motor vehicle is transferred to the free parking space of the parking system without the driver. The disclosure additionally relates to an automatic parking system and to a motor vehicle for carrying out the method.

When it is detected that the charging of a battery is finished, a server transmits transport-out instructions for a vehicle to a vehicle transport apparatus, and when receiving the transport-out instructions transmitted from the server, the vehicle transport apparatus transports the vehicle, for which the charging of the battery is finished, out of a charging space.

A method, by a computing device of a first autonomous escort vehicle of a convoy that includes multiple autonomous escort vehicles, that includes: receiving, from a central computing device associated with the convoy, an instruction to prevent one or more environmental vehicles from interfering with movements of the convoy, wherein the instruction is determined by the central computing device based on first sensor data from one or more autonomous escort vehicles in the convoy and the movements of the convoy; determining, based on second sensor data from one or more sensors of the first autonomous escort vehicle, a set of movements for preventing the one or more environmental vehicles from interfering with the movements of the convoy; and performing the set of movements.

A vehicular parking apparatus includes a frame defining horizontal rows and vertical columns of parking spaces. Subframes are configured to have a vehicle parked thereon and can move vertically in the columns. Platforms move horizontally in the rows and are configured to engage and move the subframes with the vehicles thereon. The subframes, the platforms and the frame provide electrical connections for charging parked electric vehicles.

Provided are an image capturing device for capturing an image in a target area, transmission parts through which an outside can be visually observed from inside of the target area and polarizing filters on an light path from the transmission parts to the image capturing device. The front- and depth-side polarizing filters relative to the image capturing device are arranged so as to have polarizing directions crossing each other. A foreign matter in the target area is detected on the basis of the image acquired by the image capturing device.

Charging device of hybrid or electric vehicles in an automated parking, said device (10) comprising: —a column (100) substantially developing vertically; —a current socket (110) positioned in substantial correspondence of a first terminal portion of the said column (100), and—a supporting element (130) of the said column (100), substantially developing along a direction which is orthogonal respective to the direction defined by said column (100), wherein: —said device (10) of recharge comprises a recess or profile (135) suitable for allowing the introduction of a tooth of a carriage for moving vehicles; —a plurality of electric contacts (195), each of which is cabled with a respective electric contact of the said current socket (110), wherein said plurality of electric contacts (195) is positioned in correspondence of a second terminal portion of the said column (100) opposed respective to said first terminal portion of the said column (100); —said electric contacts (195) being electrically disengaged in case the device (10) is not electrically coupled with coupling contacts of a system of automated parking.
