determining a free/occupied parking bay and/or a free/occupied parking space by the parking system apparatus or by the parking system on a basis of sensor information; and

determining a size and a location of the free/occupied parking bay and/or a size or a location of the free/occupied parking space.

2. The method according to claim 1 , which further comprises determining sizes and locations of free/occupied parking bays and/or sizes and locations of free/occupied parking spaces of the parking region by the parking system apparatus.

3. The method according to claim 1 , which further comprising determining a size and a location of a vehicle to be parked in a current parking bay and/or in a current parking space by the parking system apparatus, and that an alternate free parking bay and/or an alternate free parking space for the vehicle to be parked is determined by the parking system apparatus or by the parking system and is output to a driver of the vehicle to be parked.

4. The method according to claim 1 , which further comprises:

determining a free parking bay and/or a free parking space for a vehicle to be parked by the parking system apparatus and is output; and/or

running the method on the parking system.

5. A parking system for a parking lot for supported parking of vehicles to be parked, the parking system comprising:

at least one parking system apparatus with a radar-based parking region sensor for determining a parking bay and/or a parking space of a parking region of the parking lot, wherein a size and a location of a vehicle to be parked in a current parking bay and/or in a current parking space, is able to be determined by said parking system apparatus.

6. The parking system according to claim 5 , wherein a free parking bay and/or a free parking space for the vehicle to be parked is able to be determined by said parking system apparatus.

7. The parking system according to claim 5 , wherein:

a size and/or a location of the vehicle already left standing in the parking bay and/or in the parking space is able to be determined by said parking system apparatus; and/or

an alternate parking bay and/or an alternate parking space for the vehicle to be parked possibly temporarily left standing is able to be determined such that the parking bay and/or the parking space needs a comparatively small surface area in the parking region.

8. A parking system for a parking lot for supported parking of vehicles to be parked, the parking system comprising:

at least one parking system apparatus with a radar-based parking region sensor for determining a parking bay and/or a parking space of a parking region of the parking lot, wherein a size and a location of a vehicle to be parked in a current parking bay and/or in a current parking space, is able to be determined by said parking system apparatus; and

parking costs for the vehicle to be parked are also calculated by said parking system apparatus.

9. The parking system according to claim 5 , wherein said parking system apparatus:

is able to output or will output parking costs for a reserved parking bay and/or for a reserved parking space;

is able to output or will output current parking costs for a current parking bay and/or the current parking space;

is able to output a location of an alternate parking bay and/or of an alternate parking space; and/or

is able to output or will output alternate parking costs for the alternate parking bay and/or the alternate parking space to a driver of the vehicle to be parked.

10. The parking system according to claim 5 , wherein said parking system apparatus is one of a plurality of parking system apparatuses for a plurality of parking regions, wherein each of said parking system apparatuses has said radar-based parking region sensor.

11. The parking system according to claim 10 ,

wherein said radar-based parking region sensor is provided at a position in the parking system elevated in relation to the vehicle to be parked;

wherein each of said parking system apparatuses further has an input/output device, a transmit/receive device and/or an electronic and/or an electromagnetic interface;

further comprising an output facility, an output device, and/or a virtual interface for an output of information; and

further comprising a processing device programmed to perform the method according to claim 1 .

12. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable instructions which when executed on a processor perform a method for supported parking of vehicles to be parked in a parking system having at least one parking system apparatus for a parking lot, which comprises the steps of:

scanning a parking region of the parking lot by a radar-based parking region sensor of the parking system apparatus;

determining a free/occupied parking bay and/or a free/occupied parking space by the parking system apparatus or by the parking system on a basis of sensor information; and

determining a size and a location of the free/occupied parking bay and/or a size or a location of the free/occupied parking space.

13. A parking infrastructure for parking of vehicles to be parked in/on a facility for parked vehicles, comprising:

at least one parking system processor programmed to:

scan a parking region of the facility for parked vehicles using a radar-based parking region sensor;

determine a free/occupied parking bay and/or a free/occupied parking space on a basis of sensor information; and

determine a size and a location of the free/occupied parking bay and/or a size or a location of the free/occupied parking space.

14. The parking infrastructure according to claim 13 , wherein:

the parking infrastructure is embodied as a facility for parked vehicles retrofitted with a parking system;

the parking infrastructure will be and/or is designed as a facility for parked vehicles together with the parking system; and/or

the facility for parked vehicles is embodied as a parking zone, a parking lot, a multi-story parking lot or a parking garage.

15. The parking system according to claim 5 , wherein:

parking costs arising in a future are able to be calculated for a reserved parking bay and/or a reserved parking space in which the vehicle to be parked is likely to be able to be parked; and/or

current parking costs for a current parking bay and/or a current parking space, in which the vehicle to be parked are able to be calculated and/or alternate parking costs for an alternate parking bay and/or an alternate parking space, in which the vehicle to be parked is further able to be parked, are able to be calculated.

16. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method may be or is carried out in absence of geographic coordinates or in absence of pre-stored geographic coordinates.
