• a tentative allocation process that allocates a tentative parking space on a passage in the parking lot to an entry vehicle, when there is no available regular parking space in the parking lot;
• and
• a vehicle position control process that controls the position of the vehicle in the parking lot based on the map information and the vehicle management information, wherein
• in the vehicle position control process, the one or more processors are configured to:
• when a first vehicle parked in a first regular parking space exits, identify a first tentatively-parked vehicle parked in a first tentative parking space on an exit route of the first vehicle;
• determine a first evacuation route for evacuating the first tentatively-parked vehicle so as not to hinder exiting of the first vehicle;
• identify a second tentatively-parked vehicle parked in a second tentative parking space that is not present on the exit route but is present on the first evacuation route;
• determine a second evacuation route for evacuating the second tentatively-parked vehicle so as not to hinder the exiting of the first vehicle and evacuation of the first tentatively-parked vehicle;
• make the second tentatively-parked vehicle move from the second tentative parking space along the second evacuation route;
• and
• make the first tentatively-parked vehicle move from the first tentative parking space along the first evacuation route.
