A method for providing automated valet parking in a parking lot, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a parking infrastructure, a parking request from an electric vehicle;
- determining, by the parking infrastructure, whether charging of the electric vehicle is needed;
- in response to determining that charging of the electric vehicle is needed:
- receiving, by the parking infrastructure, charging information from the electric vehicle;
- transmitting, by the parking infrastructure, an inquiry message including the charging information to a charging infrastructure to check whether an electric charging service can be offered to the electric vehicle in a charging service zone;
- and
- receiving, by the parking infrastructure, a reply message from the charging infrastructure indicating whether or not the electric charging service can be offered to the electric vehicle in the charging service zone;
- in response to receiving the reply message indicating the electric charging service cannot be offered:
- transmitting, by the parking infrastructure, a first target position and a first guide route to the electric vehicle that guides the electric vehicle to an empty parking space in the parking lot;
- and
- performing, by the electric vehicle, autonomous driving to the empty parking space based on the first target position and the first guide route;
- and
- in response to receiving the reply message indicating the electric charging service can be offered:
- transmitting, by the parking infrastructure, a second target position and a second guide route to the electric vehicle that guides the electric vehicle to an empty space in the charging service zone;
- performing, by the electric vehicle, autonomous driving to the empty space in the charging service zone based on the second target position and the second guide route;
- receiving, by the parking infrastructure, a notification message of charging completion from the charging infrastructure;
- transmitting, by the parking infrastructure, a third target position and a third guide route to the electric vehicle that guides the electric vehicle to an empty parking space in the parking lot;
- and
- performing, by the electric vehicle, autonomous driving to the empty parking space based on the third target position and the third guide route,
- wherein the charging infrastructure determines, based on charging information received from the electric vehicle, that the electric charging service cannot be offered to the electric vehicle when charging equipment installed in the charging service zone is not compatible with charging mechanism of the electric vehicle or all spaces in the charging service zone are occupied.
