The electronic processor also generates a plurality of available parking space identifiers from the parking space data, selects, from the plurality of available parking space identifiers, the parking space assignment for the vehicle based on the vehicle identifier and at least one selected from a group consisting of the driver preference and the preference of the parking lot, and transmits the parking space assignment.
