Computer-Implemented System And Method For Spontaneously Identifying And Directing Users To Available Parking Spaces

摘要

A computer-implemented system and method for spontaneously identifying and directing motorists to available parking spaces is provided. Parking spaces are tracked to determine a status of each space. A destination of a user is received. At least one parking space is identified as available and near the destination of the user. An estimated arrival time of the user to the available parking space is determined. An arrival threshold is applied to the estimated arrival time of the user and a reservation offer for the available space is sent to the user when the estimated arrival time satisfies the arrival threshold.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented system for spontaneously identifying and directing motorists to available parking spaces, comprising:
a tracking module to track a status of parking spaces, each associated with an arrival threshold; a destination receipt module to receive a destination of a user; a parking identification module to identify one or more available parking spaces near the destination; a reduction module to reduce a number of the available parking spaces based on parking preferences of the user as potential parking spaces; an arrival determination module to determine an estimated arrival time of the user to each of the remaining available parking spaces; a threshold application module to apply the arrival threshold associated with each of the potential parking spaces to the estimated arrival time of the user for that potential parking space; an offer module to send to the user, a reservation offer for only those potential parking spaces with arrival thresholds that are satisfied by the estimated arrival times for the associated potential parking spaces; and a processor to execute the modules.
