Method and system for computing parking occupancy

A system that computes street parking occupancy of a street segment, comprising:

• a server, comprising:
• a memory component storing instructions and configured to store at least image data, map data and historical data;
• and
• a processing component configured to execute the instructions to at least:
• run a baseline occupancy module for the street segment using at least the map data and the image data to compute a baseline occupancy;
• run a continuous time occupancy module for the street segment using at least the baseline occupancy and the historical data to compute a continuous time occupancy;
• and
• run a forecast occupancy module for the street segment using at least the continuous time occupancy and real-time data to compute a forecast occupancy,
• wherein the baseline occupancy module outputs at least an estimate of a percentage of available parking spots for the street segment and an error rate of the estimate.
