Abstract: The invention relates to a method (300) for securing an electric rental vehicle when returning/picking up the vehicle at a so-called rental site, said vehicle including at least one sensor for determining at least one state of an element of said vehicle, said method including the following steps: measuring (310, 320) at least one value of at least one parameter by said sensor means, comparing (310, 320) the value of said parameter with at least one predetermined value, and indicating (312, 322, 324) an anomaly if the value is not equal to the predetermined value. The invention also relates to a method for securing an electric rental vehicle when returning/picking up said vehicle, and to a secure vehicle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for connecting/disconnecting an electric vehicle to/from a charging terminal, which includes at least one sensor arranged to detect the state of at least one element of said charging terminal, said method including at least one iteration of the following steps: measuring at least one value of at least one parameter by said sensor; comparing the value of said parameter with at least one predetermined value; and transmitting at least one datum, referred to as a notification datum, relating to said connection/disconnection. The invention also relates to a system for connecting/disconnecting an electric vehicle to/from a charging terminal, as well as to a charging terminal implemented in such a method and in such a system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method (200) for securing a traveling electric vehicle offered for rent; said method including the following steps: measuring (206) at least one value of at least one parameter relating to said vehicle, comparing (208) the value of said parameter to at least one predetermined value, and reporting (220) an anomaly, on the basis of the result of the comparison step; wherein the reporting step is initiated by a so-called central site remote from the vehicle. Said invention likewise relates to a system implementing such a method and an automated vehicle rental facility implementing such a method or such a system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method (400) for monitoring a rental vehicle, said vehicle including a navigation/geolocation device arranged such as to determine and report the positioning coordinates of said vehicle, said method including the following steps: verifying (406) that the positioning coordinates of said vehicle are inside a previously recorded predetermined area and, if the positioning coordinates are not inside the predetermined area, executing a step (408-440) of indicating the anomaly. The invention also relates to a system implementing such a method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for checking the use of a vehicle provided to a predetermined user, characterized in that it includes the following steps: a digital means, located in a terminal or in a vehicle connected to said terminal, reads data containing an identifier of said user: said user identifier is sent to a central computer system managing a plurality of vehicles and a plurality of users, in order to compare said user identifier with at least one datum from a user database; and, in the event the vehicle has been provided correctly, said central system sends at least one message enabling a control signal to be sent to a means for controlling at least one function of said assigned vehicle, or an infrastructure to which the latter is connected.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method (200) for managing parking spaces in the context of automated rental of vehicles offered for rent at a plurality of so-called rental sites, each of said rental sites including at least one parking space, said method (200) being characterized in that it includes the following steps for at least one rental site: determining (202) a so-called availability data item relating to the existence or non-existence of an available parking space at said rental site, transmitting (212, 218) said availability data item to at least one vehicle being rented, and displaying (220) said availability data item for said at least one vehicle. The invention likewise relates to a system implementing such a method and to a use of such a method and such a system for automated vehicle rental.
