Abstract
A parking availability map system and method, including: a sensor-based parking space detection system coupled to a vehicle and operable for detecting and identifying open and occupied parking spaces within a predetermined vicinity of the vehicle; and an application server disposed remotely from the vehicle and executing an algorithm operable for receiving open and occupied parking space data from the sensor-based parking space detection system, receiving a parking space availability query from a user disposed remotely from the server, and, responsive to the parking space availability query, transmitting parking space availability information to the user. Optionally, the sensor-based parking space detection system includes a camera-based parking space detection system.
