1. A method for generating space to park for a motor vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining, by a processor, a need for a parking area in a geographic area that includes a roadway;
determining, by the processor, a need for road space for the roadway;
setting, by the processor, based on the determined need for the parking area and the determined need for road space, a lateral region of the roadway, which is normally available as road space to be travelled on by motor vehicles, for use as the parking area; and
controlling, by the processor, a device to output a signal marking the set lateral region as having been set for use as the parking area.

Abstract
A method, which can be performed by a system executing instructions on a computer-readable medium, for generating space to park for a motor vehicle includes determining a need for a parking area in a geographic area that includes a roadway, determining a need for road space for the roadway, determining, based on the determined need for the parking area and the determined need for road space, whether a lateral region of the roadway should be set for use as a parking area, and, in response to a positive result of the determination, setting the lateral region of the roadway for use as the parking area.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium on which are stored instructions, which are executable by a processor, comprising:
a program code arrangement having program code for generating space to park for a motor vehicle, by performing the following; determining, via the processor, a need for a parking area in a geographic area that includes a roadway; determining, via the processor, a need for road space for the roadway; setting, via the processor, based on the determined need for the parking area and the determined need for road space, a lateral region of the roadway, which is normally available as road space to be travelled on by motor vehicles, for use as the parking area; and controlling, via the processor, a device to output a signal marking the set lateral region as having been set for use as the parking area.

14. A system for generating space to park for a motor vehicle, comprising:
-
a processor; and a signaling device; wherein the processor is configured for generating space to park for a motor vehicle, by performing the following; determining, via the processor, a need for a parking area in a geographic area that includes a roadway; determining, via the processor, a need for road space for the roadway; setting, via the processor, based on the determined need for the parking area and the determined need for road space, a lateral region of the roadway, which is normally available as road space to be travelled on by motor vehicles, for use as the parking area; and controlling, via the processor, the signaling device to output a signal marking the set lateral region as having been set for use as the parking area.
