The properties of a plurality of operational units are estimated by generating a central system state graph model representing the properties of the plurality of operational units as probabilities of transitions between states for the plurality of operational units, where the states represent operational data. Then a respective updated system state graph model is generated for each of the plurality of operational units, based on the central system state graph model and based on new operational data for the respective operational unit. A distance measure is determined between the respective updated system state graph models. If the distance measure fulfils a divergence criterion, a plurality of new central system state graph models are generated, each representing the properties of a respective subset of the plurality of operational units as the probabilities of transitions between states for the respective subset of the plurality of operational units.

Estimating properties of units using system state graph models

A method for controlling a parking of a plurality of autonomous vehicles parking in a row is provided. The method includes determining a minimum row length of the row needed to park the plurality of vehicles in the row taking into account a minimum physical space including an individual vehicle length, determining at least one additional space requirement of at least one of the plurality of vehicles which is temporarily needed by said at least one vehicle for a predefined event, determining a total row length of the row, determining a free space in the row, distributing the free space to the row, determining parking information for each of the plurality of vehicles based on the distributed free space, and distributing the parking information to at least some of the plurality of vehicles.
