1. An automated parking management device for managing an automated parking of a vehicle in a parking lot, the automated parking management device comprising:
a storage device that stores a map information of the parking lot, a location information of a loaded vehicle that has already been loaded in the parking lot and a location information of a scheduled parking spot of a load scheduled vehicle that is scheduled to load in the parking lot; and
a processor configured to perform an organization processing for organizing an automated parking location of a vehicle in the parking lot,
wherein, in the organization processing, the processor is configured to:
automatically calculate a degree of anti-theft necessity for the loaded vehicle and the load scheduled vehicle for each vehicle;
automatically calculate a degree of theft resistance for each parking spot based on the map information of the parking lot, the location information of the loaded vehicle, and
the location information of the load scheduled vehicle, the degree of theft resistance for each parking spot is automatically classified into four classes of the degree of the theft resistance, a first class of the degree of the theft resistance is assigned when a situation around the parking spot includes the loaded vehicle that has been loaded in all of the front, rear, left, and right directions, a second class of the degree of the theft resistance is assigned when the situation around the parking spot is that the loaded vehicle is parked in the front and rear direction, or in the left and right direction within a predetermined distance from the parking spot, a third class of the degree of the theft resistance is assigned when the situation around the parking spot includes the loaded vehicle that has been parked and is at the predetermined distance or greater in a lateral direction, and a fourth class of the degree of the theft resistance is assigned when the situation around the parking spot is such that the loaded vehicle is parked only in one of the front, rear, left, and right directions, or is not parked in any of the front and rear directions;
automatically determine an automated parking location of the loaded vehicle and the load scheduled vehicle based on the degree of anti-theft necessity and degree of theft resistance such that a vehicle with a higher degree of anti-theft necessity is parked in the parking spot with a higher degree of theft resistance; and
automatically execute a parking instruction to cause an autonomous vehicle to automatically move in response to the parking instruction based on the assigned degree of theft resistance.
