1. A vehicle comprising:

  • a processor configured to execute instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium to;

    identify vehicle transportation network information representing a vehicle transportation network, the vehicle transportation network including a primary destination, wherein identifying the vehicle transportation network information includes identifying the vehicle transportation network information such that the vehicle transportation network information includes parking area information representing a plurality of parking areas, wherein each parking area from the plurality of parking areas corresponds with a respective location in the vehicle transportation network, and such that the parking area information includes parking area association information describing an association between at least one parking area from the plurality of parking areas and the primary destination based at least in part on an automatically identified association between vehicle operating information and non-vehicle operating information, wherein the parking area information is based on operating information for a plurality of vehicles, wherein the operating information includes vehicle operating information and non-vehicle operating information, and wherein the vehicle operating information is information reported by the plurality of vehicles, wherein the vehicle operating information includes a plurality of vehicle operations, wherein each vehicle operation from the plurality of vehicle operations is associated with a respective vehicle from the plurality of vehicles, and wherein each parking location from the plurality of parking areas corresponds with a respective vehicle operation from the plurality of vehicle operations, the vehicle operating information includes passenger information that identifies a passenger and associates the passenger with a vehicle from the plurality of vehicles, the vehicle transportation network includes a plurality of destinations that includes the primary destination, and the non-vehicle operating information is information reported for a plurality of users, wherein the non-vehicle operating information includes a plurality of non-vehicle operations, wherein each non-vehicle operation from the plurality of non-vehicle operations is associated with a respective user from the plurality of users, wherein the plurality of non-vehicle operations includes a plurality of destination operations, wherein each destination operation from the plurality of destination operations corresponds with a respective destination from the plurality of destinations, and such that the parking area information is determined by generating a plurality of temporal operating information groups by temporally grouping the operating information, such that each temporal operating information group from the plurality of temporal operating information groups includes;

    a respective plurality of temporally grouped vehicle operations, wherein each temporally grouped vehicle operation from the plurality of temporally grouped vehicle operations includes temporal information within a period identified for the temporal operating information group; and

    a respective plurality of temporally grouped non-vehicle operations, wherein each temporally grouped non-vehicle operation from the plurality of temporally grouped non-vehicle operations includes temporal information within the period identified for the temporal operating information group;

    determine a target parking area from the plurality of parking areas for the primary destination based on the vehicle transportation network information; and

    identify a route from an origin to the target parking area in the vehicle transportation network using the vehicle transportation network information; and

    a trajectory controller configured to operate the vehicle to travel from the origin to the target parking area using the route.
