Abstract
A vehicle includes one or more processors, one or more memory modules, and machine readable instructions stored in the one or more memory modules. The vehicle determines that the vehicle is in a multi-story unit, determines a first time when the vehicle enters a floor of the multi-story unit, determines a second time when the vehicle exits the floor of the multi-story unit, measures a staying time for the vehicle being on the floor of the multi-story unit based on the first time and the second time, determines whether the floor of the multi-story unit includes an available parking space based on the staying time, and transmits a notification to another vehicle in response to determination that the floor of the multi-story unit includes no available parking space.
