Abstract: A system for managing a motor vehicle parking area comprises a plurality of physical media bearing a unique bar code-type optical identifier, a QR code, or an RFID tag. Each physical medium is arranged on or in a motor vehicle. The system further comprises at least one camera for filming the vehicles, an analysis means running a program for analyzing the images sent by the camera to extract the unique optical identifiers, and a means for wireless communication between the analysis means and at least one human or robotic conveyor moving or transporting the vehicles associated with the identifiers, so as to send to the at least one conveyor a digital message indicating the destination address of the vehicle. A method may be employed using the system to manage the motor vehicle parking area.
