Method and apparatus for providing parking availability detection based on vehicle trajectory information
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- processing and/or facilitating a processing of trajectory data associated with at least one journey of at least one vehicle to determine at least one deviation from at least one reference route calculated for the at least one journey;
determining an initiation of at least one parking search based on the at least one deviation;
determining at least one portion of the at least one journey that is associated with the at least one parking search by the at least one vehicle;
determining one or more street segments associated with the at least one portion of the at least one journey;
causing, at least in part, a classification of the one or more street segments as associated with the at least one parking search; and
determining parking availability information for the classified one or more street segments based, at least in part, on the trajectory data.

Abstract
An approach is provided for parking availability detection based on vehicle trajectory information. A trajectory processing platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of trajectory data associated with at least one journey of at least one vehicle to determine at least one portion of the at least one journey that is associated at least one parking search by the at least one vehicle. The trajectory processing platform also determines one or more street segments associated with the at least one portion of the at least one journey. The trajectory processing platform further causes, at least in part, a classification of the one or more street segments as associated with the at least one parking search. The trajectory processing platform further determines parking availability information for the one or more street segments based, at least in part, on the trajectory data.

10. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following, process and/or facilitate a processing of trajectory data associated with at least one journey of at least one vehicle to determine at least one deviation from at least one reference route calculated for the at least one journey; determine an initiation of at least one parking search based on the at least one deviation; determine at least one portion of the at least one journey that is associated with at least one parking search by the at least one vehicle; determine one or more street segments associated with the at least one portion of the at least one journey; cause, at least in part, a classification of the one or more street segments as associated with the at least one parking search; and determine parking availability information for the classified one or more street segments based, at least in part, on the trajectory data. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause an apparatus to at least perform the following steps:
-
processing and/or facilitating a processing of trajectory data associated with at least one journey of at least one vehicle to determine at least one deviation from at least one reference route calculated for the at least one journey; determining an initiation of at least one parking search based on the at least one deviation; determining at least one portion of the at least one journey that is associated with the at least one parking search by the at least one vehicle; determining one or more street segments associated with the at least one portion of the at least one journey; causing, at least in part, a classification of the one or more street segments as associated with the at least one parking search; and determining parking availability information for the classified one or more street segments based, at least in part, on the trajectory data. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
