  • Patent number: 11972686
    Abstract: A parking control device performs parking control such that a vehicle is parked in a reserved parking area in an automatic valet parking lot including a plurality of parking areas. When the vehicle arrives at the automatic valet parking lot before an entrance time for the reserved parking area, the parking control device determines whether the reserved parking area is available. When it is determined that the reserved parking area is not available, the parking control device determines whether a temporary parking area which is an area other than the reserved parking area is available. When it is determined that the temporary parking area is available, the parking control device performs parking control such that the vehicle is parked in the temporary parking area.
