Abstract
One or more processors receive a geographic destination. One or more processors determine one or more parking spaces within a distance of the geographic destination. One or more processors assign a ranking order for the one or more parking spaces based on one or both criteria of comfort and safety. One or more processors provide navigation to the one or more parking spaces. The ranking order for the one or more parking spaces determines an order of arrival at any one parking space of the one or more parking spaces.
