• causing, by a computer, the vehicle to be conveyed to a conveyor device capable of traveling autonomously and conveying the vehicle by causing the conveyor device to travel autonomously on a floor of the multistory parking lot;
• causing, by the computer, the conveyor device to convey the vehicle into the elevator when the vehicle is moved to another floor of the multistory parking lot;
• causing, by the computer, the elevator into which the vehicle is conveyed to be moved from a floor where the vehicle has been conveyed to the another floor;
• causing, by the computer, the conveyor device to be placed on the elevator by causing the conveyor device to travel autonomously;
• causing, by the computer, the conveyor device to be moved from a first floor to a second floor by lifting or lowering the elevator on which the conveyor device is placed;
• setting, by the computer, a number of conveyor devices according to a number of wheels of a vehicle that is a conveyance target as one set and setting, by the computer, the conveyor devices to travel autonomously;
• and
• when a first conveyor device that is a conveyor device among a plurality of conveyor devices included in a first set located on the first floor is moved to the second floor via the elevator, setting, by the computer, a second conveyor device that is a conveyor device included in a second set located on the first floor and the first conveyor device as a new set and causing, by the computer, the new set to be moved to the second floor.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for managing a vehicle parked in a multistory parking lot where an elevator is provided, the program causing a computer to:

• cause the vehicle to be conveyed to a conveyor device capable of traveling autonomously and conveying the vehicle by causing the conveyor device to travel autonomously on a floor of the multistory parking lot;
• cause the conveyor device to convey the vehicle into the elevator when the vehicle is moved to another floor of the multistory parking lot;
• cause the elevator into which the vehicle is conveyed to be moved from a floor where the vehicle has been conveyed to the another floor;
• cause the conveyor device to be placed on the elevator by causing the conveyor device to travel autonomously;
• cause the conveyor device to be moved from a first floor to a second floor by lifting or lowering the elevator on which the conveyor device is placed;
• set a number of conveyor devices according to a number of wheels of a vehicle that is a conveyance target as one set and cause the conveyor devices to travel autonomously;
• and
• when a first conveyor device that is a conveyor device among a plurality of conveyor devices included in a first set located on the first floor is moved to the second floor via the elevator, set a second conveyor device that is a conveyor device included in a second set located on the first floor and the first conveyor device as a new set and cause the new set to be moved to the second floor.
