Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for identifying parking areas comprising: providing vehicle trajectory data of vehicles collected from a sensor network having a plurality of sensor stations for detecting vehicles, the sensor stations of the sensor network are distributed in a geographical area of interest, the vehicle trajectory data is stored as vehicle trajectory data records in a vehicle trajectory table, wherein a vehicle trajectory data record of the vehicle trajectory data comprises, a vehicle id identifying the vehicle detected, a sensor station id identifying the sensor station detecting the vehicle, and a captured time which is the time that the sensor station detected the vehicle; pre-processing the vehicle trajectory data records by an analysis system to generate a tracking table of vehicles; storing the tracking table in a data model of an analyzer of the analysis system; and analyzing the data model to determine an interstation parking area between first and second sensor stations of interest based on input parameters from a user.
