Systems and methods for controlling vehicle movement in a parking lot

A system for managing a plurality of vehicles of a parking lot, wherein the parking lot includes, an exit lane, an entry lane, and one or more charging lanes, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more nontransitory computer-readable mediums comprising instructions that are executable by the one or more processors, wherein the instructions comprise:
• obtaining parking lot data associated with the parking lot, wherein the parking lot data indicates an availability of a plurality of parking spaces of the parking lot;
• obtaining vehicle data associated with the plurality of vehicles, wherein the vehicle data includes one or more physical characteristics of each of the plurality of vehicles and one or more electrical charging characteristics of each of the plurality of vehicles, wherein:
• the one or more physical characteristics of each of the plurality of vehicles comprises a vehicle type of each of the plurality of vehicles, a vehicle width of each of the plurality of vehicles, a vehicle length of each of the plurality of vehicles, or a combination thereof;
• and
• the one or more electrical charging characteristics of each of the plurality of vehicles comprises an amount of electrical energy of each of the plurality of vehicles, a position of a charging port of each of the plurality of vehicles, a charging time of each of the plurality of vehicles, or a combination thereof;
• dynamically defining one or more parking characteristics of the parking lot based on the vehicle data and the parking lot data, wherein dynamically defining the one or more parking characteristics comprises defining the plurality of parking spaces to form a grid arrangement in which parking space dimensions alternate by row or column based on vehicle types of the plurality of vehicles, and wherein the one or more parking characteristics of the parking lot comprises one or more parking space widths of the plurality of parking spaces, one or more parking space lengths of the plurality of parking spaces, a number of the plurality of parking spaces, an arrangement of the plurality of parking spaces, or a combination thereof;
• and
• controlling a movement of the plurality of vehicles via the exit lane, the entry lane, and the one or more charging lanes based on the vehicle data and the one or more parking characteristics of the parking lot.
