Abstract
A radar sensor is mounted in the area of a parking space for a motor vehicle in such a way that if a motor vehicle is present in the parking space, signals that are emitted by the radar sensor are reflected back from the motor vehicle. A method for determining an occupancy state of the parking space includes the steps of emitting radar signals; receiving reflected radar signals; and determining whether a motor vehicle is present in the parking space, based on the reflected radar signals. The determination is based on noise components of the reflected radar signals.
