Identifying a parking location with respect to a destination

摘要

In an approach for locating parking, a computer identifies driving directions to a destination. The computer receives a navigation input from a user to locate parking associated with the destination. The computer calculates one or more navigation paths based on the destination, wherein the one or more navigation paths include one or more street segments that connect identical starting and ending points with at least one different street segment and overall values indicating priority based on one or more weight factors associated with the one or more street segments. The computer selects a first navigation path from the calculated one or more navigation paths utilizing an ordered ranking of the one or more navigation paths. The computer provides driving directions associated with the first navigation path. The computer determines whether the user locates parking while utilizing the first navigation path.

主权项

1. A method for locating parking, the method comprising:
determining, by one or more computer processors, driving directions to a destination based at least in part on a global positioning system; receiving, by one or more computer processors, a navigation input from a user to locate parking associated with the destination; calculating, by one or more computer processors:
one or more navigation paths based on the destination that connect and return to the destination, wherein the destination is an identical starting and ending point for each one of the one or more navigational paths, and wherein the one or more navigation paths include at least two street segments; andoverall values of the one or more navigation paths that indicate priority based on one or more weight factors associated with the at least two street segments, wherein an individual weight factor within the one or more weight factors is associated with each individual street segment within the at least two street segments; determining, by one or more computer processors, an ordered ranking of the one or more navigation paths based on the overall values of the one or more navigation paths; selecting, by one or more computer processors, a first navigation path from the calculated one or more navigation paths utilizing the ordered ranking of the one or more navigation paths; providing, by one or more computer processors, driving directions associated with the first navigation path; determining, by one or more computer processors, the user does not provide an input indicating an available parking location while utilizing the first navigation path; determining, by one or more computer processors, whether the first navigation path is complete; responsive to determining the navigation path is complete, storing the first navigation path in memory; selecting, by one or more computer processors, a second navigation path from the one or more navigation paths based on a second ordered ranking; and providing, by one or more computer processors, driving directions associated with the second navigation path.
