<p>A method for assisting a driver to locate a parking space includes identifying a user-selected destination with a navigation system of a first vehicle. While the driver of the first vehicle is being guided by the navigation system towards the selected destination, parking availability information is acquired (S104) from a first space allocation device (e.g., ticket vending machine), associated with a first parking zone. The parking availability information includes parking availability information for at least one second parking zone associated with a respective second, space allocation device, remote from the first space allocation device. The second parking availability information for the second parking zone(s) is communicated to the first space allocation device by at a respective second navigation system of at least one second vehicle. A parking zone is selected, based on the user-selected destination and acquired parking availability information transmitted from the first space allocation device.</p> |
