Abstract
Disclosed is a method and system that receives sensor information from each of a plurality of sensors. Each sensor in the plurality is associated with a vehicle. The sensor information includes location coordinates of each vehicle in the plurality. The sensor information associated with each vehicle in the plurality then is translated to parking statistics information. In one embodiment, the translation is based on an aggregate of sensor information corresponding to the plurality of vehicles. The system then communicates parking statistics information to the vehicle.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by at least one processor, a plurality of sensor readings from at least one sensor associated with a vehicle;
- determining, by the at least one processor, a parking availability status based at least in part on a plurality of sensor readings;
- and
- instructing, by the at least one processor, a computing device to display an indication of the parking availability status.
A system comprising:
- at least one processor wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute software instructions causing the at least one processor to perform steps to:
- receive a plurality of sensor readings from at least one sensor associated with at least one vehicle;
- determine a parking availability status based at least in part on the plurality of sensor readings;
- and
- instructing a computing device to display an indication of the parking availability status.
