Abstract

A method, which can be performed by a system executing instructions on a computer-readable medium, for generating space to park for a motor vehicle includes determining a need for a parking area in a geographic area that includes a roadway, determining a need for road space for the roadway, determining, based on the determined need for the parking area and the determined need for road space, whether a lateral region of the roadway should be set for use as a parking area, and, in response to a positive result of the determination, setting the lateral region of the roadway for use as the parking area.
