Abstract

A method for securing a motor vehicle against unauthorized removal from an AVP parking facility includes steps of receiving, from the motor vehicle, information regarding a driving state of the motor vehicle, of determining that the motor vehicle is in transit in the area of the parking facility, of determining that the motor vehicle is traveling outside of a parking or retrieval process controlled independently of a driver, and of triggering an action.

Claims

1. A method for securing a motor vehicle against unauthorized removal from an AVP parking facility, comprising:

receiving, from the motor vehicle, information regarding a driving state of the motor vehicle;

determining that the motor vehicle is traveling in the area of the parking facility;

determining that the motor vehicle is traveling outside of a parking or retrieval process controlled independently of the driver; and

triggering an action.

2. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein on the basis of the information, at least one of a position and a driving state, of the motor vehicle is determined.

3. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the parking facility is designed to support a driver-independent guidance of the motor vehicle between a transfer point and a parking space in the context of a driver-independent parking or retrieval process.

4. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the action includes detecting a confirmation of a person responsible for the motor vehicle or the parking facility.

5. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the action includes mounting of a physical barrier against a departure of the motor vehicle from the parking facility.

6. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the action includes outputting a message.

7. The method as recited in claim 5, wherein in the area of the parking facility, additional items of information are detected and are recorded over a predetermined past time period and wherein the message includes the additional items of information.

8. The method as recited in claim 7, wherein the items of information include one of a camera image, an image sequence, a date, a time and reservation information for usage of the parking space.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program product having program code for securing a motor vehicle against unauthorized removal from an AVP parking facility, the program code, when executed by a processing device, causing the processing device to perform:

receiving, from the motor vehicle, information regarding a driving state of the motor vehicle;

determining that the motor vehicle is traveling in the area of the parking facility;

determining that the motor vehicle is traveling outside of a parking or retrieval process controlled independently of the driver; and

triggering an action.

10. A parking system, comprising:

a parking facility having at least one parking space for parking a motor vehicle;

a communication device for receiving, from the motor vehicle, information regarding a driving state of the motor vehicle; and

a processing device for supporting a driver-independent parking or retrieval process of the motor vehicle, the processing device being designed to determine, on the basis of the received information, that the motor vehicle is traveling in the parking facility outside of a parking or retrieval process controlled independently of a driver, and thereupon to trigger an action.
