Predictive placement of mobile platforms

A computer-implemented system for predicting and validating parking location availability for mobile platforms, comprising:

• a server including at least one processor and a non-transitory computer-readable memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the server to:
• receive, via a targeting interface, a geographic region selection defined by machine-readable spatial coordinate data and selected from a plurality of candidate geographic regions stored in the memory;
• process, by a parking vacancy prediction subsystem using data selected from the group consisting of historical parking occupancy data, real-time sensor data, and temporal data associated with the selected geographic region, to generate a predicted vacant parking location within the selected geographic region;
• transmit the predicted vacant parking location to a mobile platform over a wireless communications network;
• receive, from the mobile platform via the wireless communications subsystem, verification data including machine-readable geographic location data generated by a location sensor of the mobile platform after parking;
• and,
• compare, by the parking vacancy prediction subsystem, the received geographic location data of the mobile platform with at least one of:
• (i) the predicted vacant parking location, and (ii) a boundary of the selected geographic region to determine a spatial correspondence indicative of prediction accuracy.
