A parking detection method includes: accessing data corresponding to an image from a camera on a vehicle; computing a confidence score for a possible vacant parking location from the data corresponding to the image from the camera on the vehicle; and when the confidence score is greater than a threshold confidence, identifying the possible vacant parking location as an actual vacant parking location from the data corresponding to the image from the camera on the vehicle.

Methods and systems for parking detection

A method of developing a road conditioning monitoring model is disclosed. The method comprises utilizing vehicle sensors to collect data under controlled conditions over a road surface to develop a training data set. The training data set undergoes a data analysis to determine an absolute running mean associated with the first road surface under controlled conditions. Abnormalities in the road surface are detected by comparing the absolute running mean with the training data set. The detected abnormalities are classified to create road surface classification rules. A method of developing a road condition database is also disclosed, that comprises utilizing vehicle sensors during operation of a vehicle to collect data during the operation and feeding the data into the road conditioning monitoring model to classify the road conditions on which the vehicle is driven. A system for determining road condition impact on a vehicle is also disclosed.
