1. A parking infrastructure system comprising:
a first sensor;
a second sensor;
a processor; and
a memory storing computer-executable instructions, that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
receive location information about the first sensor and the second sensor;
receive a trigger of the first sensor by a vehicle;
receive a trigger of the second sensor by the vehicle;
determine, based on the trigger of the first sensor and the trigger of the second sensor, that a first place exists between a location of the first sensor and a location of the second sensor;
add the first place to a representation of the parking infrastructure system, the representation of the parking infrastructure system comprising a Petri Net model;
receive data representing that at least one parking spot of the infrastructure system is occupied even though the at least one parking spot is empty; and
send a digital twin of the representation to a processor of either the vehicle or another vehicle, the digital twin being a digital representation of the parking infrastructure system and showing that the at least one parking spot is occupied, even though the at least one parking spot is empty.
