Claim One:
1. A method for predicting an availability of a parking spot in a parking area, the method comprising: generating, by one or more processors, a first signature for each of one or more first users associated with one or more first vehicles, parked at one or more parking spots in the parking area, based on at least a first set of data received from at least one or more first sensors in a first user-computing device associated with each of the one or more first users; generating, by the one or more processors, a second signature for each of the one or more first vehicles, based on at least a second set of data received from one or more second sensors in a first vehicle-computing device associated with each of the one or more first vehicles; determining, by the one or more processors, a likelihood of the availability of the one or more parking spots based on at least the first signature and the second signature; receiving, by the one or more processors, a first input from a second user-computing device associated with a second user of a second vehicle, wherein the first input is indicative of a requirement of one of the one or more parking spots in the parking area; presenting, by the one or more processors, a user interface on a display screen of the second vehicle, the user interface displaying available parking spots of the one or more parking spots to the second user based on at least the determined likelihood; and recommending, by the one or more processors, one of the available parking spots based on a predefined constraint, wherein the predefined constraint is utilized to avoid traffic congestion along one or more parking lanes of the parking area, and wherein the predefined constraint comprises one or both of a size of the second vehicle or a number of vehicles waiting for said one of the available parking spots.
