Abstract:
One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for estimating parking occupancy. For a paid parking period, parking meter transaction data may be acquired for a parking meter encompassed by a zone of one or more parking spaces. The parking meter transaction data may be evaluated to determine status data, such as an estimation of whether one or more parking spaces are available, occupied, and/or will become available. A parking occupancy, indicative of a likelihood of available parking spaces, may be estimated based upon the status data. For a free parking period, the parking occupancy may be estimated based upon vehicle flow data that is indicative of vehicles entering, parking, and/or leaving the one or more parking spaces. In this way, the parking occupancy may be provided to a driver to mitigate wasted time and/or gas otherwise spent searching for an available parking space.

Claim (Index 19):
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions which when executed perform a method for estimating parking availability, comprising:\n acquiring cellular data associated with one or more vehicles; evaluating the cellular data to determine a net number of vehicles within a zone at a point of time; integrating the net number of vehicles over time to determine a net number of vehicles observed to be remaining in the zone compared to leaving the zone; estimating a parking availability for the zone based upon the net number of vehicles observed to be remaining in the zone compared to leaving the zone; and adjusting the parking availability based upon a business type of a business within a threshold distance of the zone.
