Abstract
Technologies and techniques for estimating a departure time for a user of a vehicle. A departure time may be estimated for a user using a vehicle by obtaining vehicle-related data on the vehicle and obtaining personal data on the user. The departure time may be estimated on the basis of the vehicle-related data and the personal data.
Claims18
A method for estimating a departure time of a vehicle in a control module, comprising
- receiving, in the control module, vehicle-related data regarding the vehicle;
- receiving, in the control module, personal data regarding a user of the vehicle;
- estimating, in the control module, the departure time, based on the vehicle-related data and personal data, using a neural network;
- estimating, in the control module, a vacated parking space time of the vehicle based on the estimated departure time;
- and
- providing, in the control module, a parking spot for parking the vehicle before the parking spot becomes available based on the vacated parking space time.
3 more elements
A network device for estimating a departure time of a vehicle, comprising
- communications for receiving vehicle-related data regarding the vehicle, and for receiving personal data regarding a user of the vehicle;
- and
- a processing apparatus, operatively coupled to the communications, the processing apparatus being configured to
- estimate a departure time, based on the vehicle-related data and personal data, using a neural network;
- estimate a vacated parking space time of the vehicle based on the estimated departure time, and
- providing a parking spot for parking the vehicle before the parking spot becomes available based on the vacated parking space time,
- wherein the communications is configured to communicate the parking spot of the vehicle to a network for use in one or more other vehicles to alter operation of the one or more vehicles, based on the estimated departure time.
