A traffic monitoring system for a traffic area with parking surfaces for vehicles or a freely arrangeable row of vehicles includes overhead radar sensors oriented towards the area for capturing a chronological sequence of digital radar images thereof. An analyzing unit detects vehicles parked on the area and ascertains locations and dimensions thereof from the captured sequence and determines an occupancy state of the surfaces from a data comparison of the ascertained locations and dimensions of parked vehicles with configured geodata of surfaces. The parking surface is occupied or free for a vehicle, and a parking surface for a freely arrangeable row of vehicles is occupied or provided by one or more free parking spaces. An image output unit outputs a map view of the area with marked surfaces and the current occupancy state of the surfaces. The traffic monitoring system allows a more effective monitoring of the area.

Traffic monitoring system for monitoring a traffic area

A method supports parking of placement vehicles in a parking system of a parking lot having at least one parking system apparatus. A parking region of the parking lot is scanned by a parking region sensor of the parking system and, based on the sensor information, a free and/or an occupied parking space and/or a free and/or an occupied parking area is identified by the parking system apparatus. A parking system for a parking lot for supported parking of placement vehicles is provided. The parking system has at least one parking system apparatus with a parking region sensor for identifying a parking space and/or a parking area of a parking region of the parking lot.
