Abstract

During the last years electric vehicles started to gain significant attention from customers and car manufacturers. As the number of electric vehicles on the road increases, new requirements emerge to update existing charging station infrastructures. In this paper we address the issue of management of parking lots where charging stations are deployed since existing parking management systems do not consider charging stations and charging station management systems are not able to manage parking spaces. We propose a solution in which a charging station uses sensors to detect whether the assigned charging spaces are occupied; monitors customer’s interaction with itself and forces to take actions within the given period of time. If there is a violation of terms of use, our solution enables to inform the management system in order to take the necessary steps. Furthermore, it provides visual guidance to customers in search for parking space and during the interaction.
