Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a method for coordinating the traffic of motor vehicles in a parking environment. The method evaluates sensor data and determines current traffic situation data of a parking environment based on the evaluating. The method determines a target corridor for a destination of a motor vehicle based on current traffic situation data, a map data set, and target corridors determined for other motor vehicles. The method transmits the target corridor to the motor vehicle, and a recommendation to wait to another motor vehicle during a planned departure of the other motor vehicle from the parking environment. The method outputs a confirmation of a request for an automatic departure of the other motor vehicle to a mobile device when a time to reach an exit according to an optimal target corridor exceeds a threshold value.
