Abstract
A street parking space for a first motor vehicle is located within a predefined area. A method for determining an unoccupied street parking space includes steps of scanning environmental data of a second motor vehicle in the predefined area; determining an item of information regarding an unoccupied parking space in the area of the second motor vehicle on the basis of the environmental data; and reporting the item of information to a central instance. The central instance determines a demand for reports in the area on the basis of received information from a plurality of second motor vehicles, and suppresses further reports from a second motor vehicle as a function of the demand.
