Abstract
In the drop-off area of a parking lot equipped with automated valet parking, the system clearly informs users of where and what they should do. [Solution] When a vehicle subject to automatic valet parking is stopped in the drop-off area of the parking lot, the automatic valet parking management system performs a user recognition process that recognizes the user's location based on sensor information and communication information between the vehicle and the user terminal, and a guidance display process that displays a guidance display indicating the action the automatic valet parking management system requires the user to take on a first display (in-vehicle display) or a second display (e.g., the user terminal display). The guidance display process includes selecting one of the first and second displays according to the recognized user's location, and displaying the guidance display on the selected first or second display with content that includes different specific information according to the recognized user's location.
