Abstract
An example operation may include one or more of parking a transport in an initial space, determining an average time of an event attended by at least one occupant associated with the transport, moving the transport to at least one other space when an elapsed time of the event is less than the average time and when the at least one other space is available and closer to an event location than the initial space, and moving the transport to a final space when the event is completed, and the final space is a location of a device associated with the at least one occupant.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a transport, available spaces proximate a location prior to arriving at the location;
- responsive to the available spaces being below a threshold when arriving at the location, determining, by the transport, an alternate location to drop-off at least one occupant of the transport;
- and
- parking the transport in a new space related to a location of a device associated with the at least one occupant.
A system, comprising:
- a transport configured to:
- determine available spaces proximate a location prior to arrival at the location;
- responsive to the available spaces being below a threshold when arriving at the location, determine an alternate location to drop-off at least one occupant of the transport;
- and
- park at a new space related to a location of a device associated with the at least one occupant.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform:
- determining available spaces proximate a location prior to arriving at the location;
- responsive to the available spaces being below a threshold when arriving at the location, determining an alternate location to drop-off at least one occupant of the transport;
- and
- parking the transport at a new space related to a location of a device associated with the at least one occupant.
