Abstract
An approach is provided for generating an optimized parking search route based on one or more other vehicle driving paths. The approach involves determining that a first vehicle has initiated a search for a parking space. The approach also involves determining a first detection and a second detection of a second vehicle by the first vehicle during the search. The approach further involves calculating a predicted route taken by the second vehicle based on a time difference between the first detection and the second detection. The approach further involves generating the parking search route for the first vehicle based on deprioritizing the predicted route taken by the second vehicle.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for generating a parking search route comprising:
- determining that a first vehicle has initiated a search for a parking space;
- determining a first detection and a second detection of a second vehicle by the first vehicle based on at least one sensor of the first vehicle during the search, wherein the second vehicle has not found parking at the first detection and at the second detection;
- calculating a predicted route taken by the second vehicle based on a time difference between the first detection and the second detection;
- and
- generating the parking search route for the first vehicle based on deprioritizing the predicted route taken by the second vehicle.
An apparatus for generating a parking search route comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,
- determine that a first vehicle has initiated a search for a parking space;
- determine a first detection, a second detection, or a combination thereof of a second vehicle by the first vehicle based on at least one sensor of the first vehicle during the search, wherein the second vehicle has not found parking at the first detection and at the second detection;
- calculate a predicted route taken by the second vehicle based on a time difference between the first detection and the second detection;
- and
- generate the parking search route for the first vehicle based on deprioritizing the predicted route taken by the second vehicle.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for generating a parking search route, carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to perform:
- determining that a first vehicle has initiated a search for a parking space;
- determining a first detection and a second detection of a second vehicle by the first vehicle during the search, wherein the second vehicle has not found parking at the first detection and at the second detection;
- calculating a predicted route taken by the second vehicle based on a time difference between the first detection and the second detection;
- and
- generating the parking search route for the first vehicle based on deprioritizing the predicted route taken by the second vehicle.
