A method for detecting a parking area on at least one road section includes providing a usable width of the road section. The usable width represents a passable width of the road section between parking vehicles. The method further includes travelling on the road section using a detector vehicle and detecting lateral distances from objects with a detector device arranged in the detector vehicle. The method also includes comparing the detected lateral distances with the usable width, and detecting the parking area based on the comparison.

Method for detecting a parking area on a road section

A method for ascertaining a free parking position for a vehicle, in which at least one measurement value is ascertained by at least one vehicle-side sensor, the at least one ascertained measurement value is transmitted by a vehicle-side communication device of at least one vehicle to a vehicle-external server unit, the at least one ascertained measurement value is evaluated with respect to a free parking position by the vehicle-external server unit, and the evaluated at least one free parking position is provided in a retrievable manner on the vehicle-external server unit. A system for implementing the method is also described.

Method for ascertaining a parking position and system for implementing the method

A method for ascertaining a parking area of at least one street section includes providing information indicating a usable width of the street section, the usable width representing a drivable width of the street section between spaces for parked vehicles at the two lateral sides of a driving vehicle; the driving vehicle driving the street section and ascertaining lateral distances from objects using an ascertainment device situated in the driving vehicle; comparing the ascertained lateral distances to the usable width; and ascertaining the parking area by way of the comparison.
