Method for Controlling A Deployment Operation of Motor Vehicles in a Parking Environment, and Management System for a Parking Area

A method for controlling a deployment operation of a motor vehicle in a parking environment, comprising:

• connecting between a management device of the parking environment and a mobile device of a driver of the motor vehicle via a communication connection,
• wherein the communication connection is provided by the management device to the mobile device at a time of delivery of the motor vehicle by the driver to a transfer area of the parking environment;
• generating, by the management device, authentication information specific to the motor vehicle and a parking process;
• transmitting, by the management device to the mobile device of the driver over the communication connection, the authentication information;
• automatically parking, by the management device, the motor vehicle according to the parking process in a parking space of the parking environment;
• detecting, by the management device at a later time, a pick-up request by the driver of the motor vehicle, wherein the pick-up request is transmitted from the mobile device of the driver to a readout device in a pick-up area of the parking environment;
• reading the authentication information, by the readout device, from the mobile device of the driver;
• receiving, by the management device from the readout device, the authentication information;
• identifying, by the management device, the motor vehicle from the authentication information;
• and
• initiating, by the management device, a retrieval process of the motor vehicle from the parking space of the parking environment, wherein the driver receives the motor vehicle in a pick-up position of the pick-up area of the parking environment as a result of the retrieval process.

A management system for a parking environment, comprising:

• a management device having at least one processor;
• and
• at least one readout device,
• wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• connect the management device of the parking environment to a mobile device of a driver of a motor vehicle via a communication connection,
• wherein the communication connection is provided by the management device to the mobile device at a time of delivery of the motor vehicle by the driver to a transfer area of the parking environment;
• generate authentication information specific to the motor vehicle and a parking process;
• transmit, to the mobile device of the driver over the communication connection, the authentication information;
• perform operations to automatically park the motor vehicle according to the parking process in a parking space of the parking environment;
• detect, at a later time, a pick-up request by the driver of the motor vehicle,
• wherein the pick-up request is transmitted from the mobile device of the driver to one of the at least one readout device in a pick-up area of the parking environment, and
• wherein the one of the at least one readout device is configured to read the authentication information from the mobile device of the driver;
• receive, from the one of the at least one readout device, the authentication information;
• identify the motor vehicle from the authentication information;
• and
• initiate a retrieval process of the motor vehicle from the parking space of the parking environment, wherein the driver receives the motor vehicle in a pick-up position of the pick-up area of the parking environment as a result of the retrieval process.
