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 and a system for managing a parking space for a vehicle, for a space comprising means for detecting whether the space is occupied and at least one power-charging terminal suitable for automatic charging, especially automatic electrical charging following manual correction. Said method comprises, within a so-called occupation monitoring phase (as opposed to other phases such as a non-allocated vehicle storage phase): detection of a state of presence or absence of a vehicle or an object occupying the managed space, and detection of a state of connection or disconnection (operation or state) of a vehicle at the charging terminal. According to the invention, said method also comprises, in the event of a detection of presence without detection of connection, at least one so-called parking processing operation, for example, emitting at least one alert by acoustic or visual means, or recording or emitting at least one computer message.

Abstract: A method is provided for controlling access to an automated vehicle rental station including at least one rental vehicle parking location, the station being situated within a structure access to which is controlled by a passage control device disposed at at least one entrance/exit of the structure, the passage control device being movable between an open position permitting passage and a closed position prohibiting passage, the method including a permission phase, including the following steps: —acquisition of an identifier of the user by an acquisition device disposed at an entrance/exit of the structure, —transmission of the identifier to a remote server through a communication network, —verification of at least one condition relating to the user to grant or deny passage, and —command of the passage control device, disposed at the entrance/exit of the structure, as a verification of the at least one condition.

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.

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 (100) for managing vehicles offered for rental in a site, termed the rental site, comprising a plurality of vehicles, said method comprising the following steps: —identification (102) of a user with the aid of at least one identification datum, and —selection (120) of a vehicle from among said plurality of vehicles as a function of at least one predetermined criterion, termed the attribution criterion, and of data (D) relating to each of the vehicles of said plurality. The invention also relates to a method of reserving a vehicle implementing the method of management according to the invention. The invention also relates to a management and reservation system implementing the method according to the invention.

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 for reserving a parking space for a vehicle at a remote site also known as a rental site, in the context of automated vehicle rental, said method including a so-called reservation phase (200) including the following steps: determining (204-208) a so-called available remote rental site, in which a parking space is available, sending (214) a reservation request for a parking space in said available remote rental site, said reservation request including an identification data item also known as an identifier, storing (220) said identifier associated with an available parking space, and modifying (220) the status of said parking space. The invention likewise relates to a system implementing such a method and a use of such a method and such a system for automated vehicle rental.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method (300) for configuring a vehicle on the fly and comprising the following steps: identifying (302, 304) a user using means of identification, loading (308), from a central site through a wireless communications network and/or from a means of identification, at least one value, known as the preferred value, of at least one parameter concerning the setup of at least one element of said vehicle, the value being associated with said identified user, and adjusting said element of the vehicle in accordance with said preferred value. The invention also relates to a system and to an installation for configuring a vehicle on the fly and to a vehicle comprising such a system.
