Abstract
Generating parking area statistics for identifying parking areas within a geographic region. Navigation support for reaching a top-ranked parking area according to collected parking area data, user preferences, parking feedback, and real-time traffic conditions. Selection of a top-ranked parking area and monitoring progress during a parking event improve future identification and ranking of parking areas.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- generating parking area statistics for a geographic region;
- receiving a request for an available parking area to park a vehicle;
- identifying a set of available parking areas within the geographic area based on parking area data collected from a set of internet of things (IoT) devices operating various parking areas and parking area statistics;
- selecting a top-ranked parking area from the set of available parking areas based user preferences;
- and
- presenting the top-ranked parking area in response to the requested available parking area.
A computer program product comprising:
- a set of storage device(s);
- and
- computer code stored collectively in the set of storage device(s), with the computer code including data and instructions to cause a processor(s) set to perform at least the following operations:
- generating parking area statistics for a geographic region,
- receiving a request for an available parking area to park a vehicle,
- identifying a set of available parking areas within the geographic area based on parking area data collected from a set of internet of things (IoT) devices operating various parking areas and parking area statistics,
- selecting a top-ranked parking area from the set of available parking areas based user preferences, and
- presenting the top-ranked parking area in response to the requested available parking area.
A computer system comprising:
- a processor(s) set;
- a set of storage device(s);
- and
