Parking space routing based on congestion and ranking metrics
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11900279B2) discloses a method for parking space routing executed by a processor of a computing device. The method involves retrieving parking data from various sources, estimating parking occupancy data for spaces with no available data, identifying available parking spaces, computing routes for vehicles, determining a parking space fill order based on congestion metrics, ranking routes to reduce congestion, and providing a route to an autonomous driving system. The method also includes acquiring data from vehicles in the parking region to identify congestion, filtering parking data, aggregating data for precise results, and providing parking meter reservation interfaces for users to reserve, pay for additional time, or bid on parking spaces.
Furthermore, the patent describes a computing device and a non-transitory machine-readable medium with processor-executable instructions to perform the parking space routing method. These devices retrieve parking data, estimate occupancy, identify available spaces, compute routes, determine parking space fill order, rank routes, and provide content to autonomous driving systems. The operations also involve acquiring data from vehicles in the region to identify congestion, filtering data, and providing interfaces for parking reservations, payments, and bidding. Overall, the patented method aims to optimize parking space allocation, reduce congestion, and enhance user experience through efficient routing and parking management strategies based on real-time and aggregated data from various sources within a parking region.
