Provided are a method and apparatus for processing a parking space state, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The method includes: acquiring parking space state association data determined by parking space monitoring devices in a target parking lot, where the parking space monitoring devices comprise an in-parking space monitoring device and an out-parking space monitoring device; determining a parking space state of a target parking space in the target parking lot according to the parking space state association data; and updating, according to the parking space state of the target parking space, parking space state data in a multi-source parking space management platform to which the target parking space belongs.

A parking management system includes a guide robot disposed in a parking space provided with a plurality of parking areas, the guide robot being configured to be matched with a vehicle entering the parking space and to be driven ahead of the matched vehicle to guide the matched vehicle to an allocated parking area, and a management server configured to recognize the vehicle entering the parking space, to match the recognized vehicle with the guide robot, to monitor the parking space to identify a parking status of each of the parking areas, to allocate a parking area to the matched vehicle based on the identified parking status, and to control the guide robot to be driven to the allocated parking area.

Recommendation data that matches a preference of a user and includes data on a facility available for the user is generated based on various data. The various data include registration data on the user, hobby data on the user, registration data on the various facilities, and use situation data on the various facilities. The recommendation data is transmitted to the user terminal. After transmission of the recommendation data, it is determined whether the reservation request data has been received from the user terminal or not. The reservation request data includes data on a requested facility wished by the user, and data on an available time slot of the requested facility. When it is determined that the reservation request data has been received, a reservation of the requested facility covering the available time slot is made based on the reservation request data.

Disclosed herein are multispace parking pay stations comprising: at least one processor, a memory, a communications element, a printer, and a computer program including instructions executable by the at least one processor to create an application comprising: a software module receiving a unique identifier associated with a parking customer, the parking customer having executed a mobile payment for parking in a space associated with the pay station; a software module transmitting the unique identifier to a central parking management server and querying the central parking management server with the unique identifier to identify the parking customer and verify the mobile payment; and a software module generating and sending instructions to the printer to print a payment verification for the parking customer.

An embodiment apparatus for charging a parking fee includes a reservation information communications device that receives reservation information and transmits the reservation information to a communication terminal, a reserved vehicle recognition device that recognizes a vehicle number of a reserved vehicle and whether the reserved vehicle enters or exits the parking lot by using a camera, a traffic flow determination device that divides an area of each floor of the parking lot into plural areas based on a unit area, receives locations of vehicles within the parking lot, and calculates a density of the vehicles within the parking lot, a driving route generation device that generates an optimal route, a route guidance device that provides the user with the optimal route, and an off-route charging device that charges the user for moving off-route when the reserved vehicle does not move along the optimal route.

A ride-sharing assistance system includes a plurality of terminals and a ride-sharing assistance apparatus capable of communicating with each of the plurality of terminals. The ride-sharing assistance apparatus sends, when the number of inquiry signals received from at least two terminals of the plurality of terminals for requesting inquiry about a parking space available at a same destination is greater than a vacancy reference value in accordance with the number of available parking spaces within a certain range from the destination, a suggestion signal for suggesting ride-sharing on a vehicle owned by any one of users of the at least two terminals, from which the inquiry signal has been sent, to each of the at least two terminals from which the inquiry signal has been sent.

A method and an apparatus for pushing vehicle information, a user account server, and user equipment are provided. The method includes: receiving an entry event that is of a vehicle and that is sent by a parking management server, and obtaining geo-fence information of a parking lot managed by the parking management server; obtaining, by a user account server, a user account bound to the license plate number of the vehicle; obtaining a location determining result of user equipment corresponding to the user account; and pushing the entry event of the vehicle to the user equipment when the current location of the user equipment is within a geo-fence range.

A boarding/deboarding point providing system includes a probe vehicle group, a data server, and an on-board unit or a mobile terminal. When vehicle data transmitted from the probe vehicle group are input, the data server extracts a boarding/deboarding point suitable for boarding a vehicle or deboarding a vehicle from the vehicle data, and stores the point while updating the boarding/deboarding point information database. When a request for boarding/deboarding point information is received from the on-board unit or the mobile terminal, the boarding/deboarding point information stored in the boarding/deboarding point information database is searched for a boarding/deboarding point that meets the request conditions, and the search result that includes the boarding/deboarding point is transmitted to the on-board unit or the mobile terminal.

Methods and systems for autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicle control, routing, and automatic feature adjustment are disclosed. Sensors associated with autonomous operation features may be utilized to search an area for missing persons, stolen vehicles, or similar persons or items of interest. Sensor data associated with the features may be automatically collected and analyzed to passively search for missing persons or vehicles without vehicle operator involvement. Search criteria may be determined by a remote server and communicated to a plurality of vehicles within a search area. In response to which, sensor data may be collected and analyzed by the vehicles. When sensor data generated by a vehicle matches the search criteria, the vehicle may communicate the information to the remote server.
