Abstract
A computer-implemented system and method for providing available parking spaces is provided. Parking spaces, each associated with a hold time, are monitored. A request for parking is received from a user. Available parking spaces near the destination are identified, and a location of the user is determined. At least two different routes from the user's location to one of the available parking spaces are identified. An arrival time of the user for each route is calculated. The route with the fastest arrival time is selected for that available parking space. Those parking spaces for which the user's arrival time is less than the hold time are selected as possible parking spaces. A number of the possible parking spaces is reduced by removing those available parking spaces that fail to satisfy one or more parking preferences of the user. The remaining available parking spaces are sent to the user for selection.
