597841 A parking lot (1) and a method for checking the reservation of a parking lot with a plurality of parking spaces (2) for vehicles (3) that have license plates (10) with OCR-readable license numbers and onboard units with radio IDs (14) that can be read out via radio are disclosed. The parking lot comprises a plurality of parking spaces for vehicles that have license plates with OCR-readable license numbers and onboard units with radio IDs that can be read out via radio; a central computer (18) for storing parking space reservations each comprising an indication of a parking space and an assigned radio ID; a common radio beacon (16) for the parking spaces that is positioned at an entrance of the parking lot and serves for reading out the radio ID of an entering vehicle via radio and correspondingly signaling the radio ID to the central computer and at least one stationarily mounted camera unit (17) for each parking space that serves for OCR reading the license number of a vehicle parked therein and correspondingly signaling the license number to the central computer. In each parking space reservation, a vehicle license number assigned to the radio ID is stored, and the central computer is configured to check whether for a radio ID signaled to the central computer the vehicle license number assigned thereto in a stored parking space reservation is subsequently signaled by the camera unit of this parking space, and to log instances in which this is not the case.
