Abstract

The invention relates to a method for managing at least one parking space (P) for a vehicle (1, 2). According to the invention, a parking vehicle (1) informs by means of vehicle-to-vehicle communication (F) that a parking space-seeking vehicle (2), which is located at a predetermined distance from the parked vehicle (1), frees up the parking space (P).

Description

The invention relates to a method for managing at least one parking space for a vehicle.

From the DE 10 2014 209 453 A1 For example, a method for facilitating the search for a free parking space is known. The method envisages that parking lot demanders and parking lot providers register at a data processing station of a service provider, indicating properties of the requested or offered parking spaces. For communication with the data processing station, the parking lot demanders or the car park providers use a communication unit, in particular a smartphone. Depending on the parking spaces registered, a parking lot customer is offered at least one free parking space from the data processing station, which the parking lot customer can reserve. Object and movement pattern recognition updates the properties of the available parking spaces.

The invention has for its object to provide a comparison with the prior art improved method for managing at least one parking lot.

The object is achieved by the features specified in claim 1.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

A method for managing at least one parking space for a vehicle according to the invention provides that a parked vehicle by means of vehicle-to-vehicle communication a parking-looking vehicle, which is located at a predetermined distance to the parked vehicle informed about the release of the parking lot.

When using the method, finding a parking space is comparatively easy and time-saving.

It is not necessary, as is known from the prior art, to register at a data processing station of a service provider for parking management. So there is no central server in the form of a data processing station for data storage or for managing the at least one parking space required. A reservation of the parking lot is made directly by means of the parking vehicle.

Embodiments of the invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to a drawing.

Showing:

1 schematically a ausparkendes from a parking vehicle and another vehicle.

In the single figure are ausparkendes from a parking lot P vehicle 1 and another vehicle 2 shown.

Both vehicles 1 . 2 have a device for vehicle-to-vehicle communication F. not shown in detail.

Among such vehicle-to-vehicle communication F is an exchange of information and data between two and more vehicles 1 . 2 This is intended especially for the early reporting of critical and dangerous situations.

To find a parking space for the other vehicle 2 , hereinafter referred to as a parking-looking vehicle 2 designated to facilitate and thereby save time, it is provided that the ausparkende vehicle 1 the parking lot looking vehicle 2 informs that the parking lot P is free.

The communication between the two vehicles takes place 1 . 2 about the vehicle-to-vehicle communication F.

By means of the vehicle-to-vehicle communication F, the parking vehicle is informed 1 the parking lot looking vehicle 2 which is at least indirectly, ie within a predetermined distance, to the parked vehicle 1 is located, automatically with the parking lot P is about to be released, while at the same time to the parking-looking vehicle 2 is communicated where the parking lot P is located.

Preferably, it is also provided that the dimensions of the parking lot P to the parking-looking vehicle 2 be transmitted. As a result, a driver of the parking-looking vehicle 2 estimate whether the vacant parking lot P is sufficiently large.

The driver of the parking-looking vehicle 2 informs the parked vehicle 1 his reservation request with respect to the parking lot P with, for this purpose, an input is made by the driver expediently. For this purpose, a suitable user interface is provided.

A driver of the parked vehicle 1 Conveniently also confirmed by means of a suitable user interface the reservation request of the parking-lot search vehicle 2 ,

In one possible embodiment, the parking vehicle reserves 1 the parking lot P, for example, by delaying a Ausparkvorganges, until the parking lot looking for vehicle 2 the parking lot P has reached. For example, the stabling vehicle leads 1 the Ausparkvorgang autonomous or at least partially autonomous. This makes it possible in particular that the ausparkende vehicle 1 delays the Ausparkvorgang automatically until the parking space-seeking vehicle 2 the parking lot P has reached.
