Abstract
A method for determining an occupancy state of a parking space of a parking facility, including the following method steps: a. detecting magnetic field measured values in the surroundings of the parking space along an axis with the aid of a magnetic field sensor within a predefined duration; b. forming a Poincaré diagram as a function of the magnetic field measured values detected in method step a; c. determining a line of best fit through the points of the Poincaré diagram formed in method step b, with the aid of linear regression; d. determining differences in the vertical direction between the line of best fit and the respective points; e. calculating a mean value of the differences determined in method step d; and f. determining the occupancy state of the parking space as a function of the mean value calculated in method step e.
