Abstract
An approach is provided for estimation of waiting time to park. The approach involves processing parking data from a parking area to determine a probability that all parking spots in the parking area are occupied. The parking data is collected from one or more parking sensors. The approach also involves building a remaining parking duration model for a plurality of cars parked in said all parking spots based on the parking data. The approach further involves calculating an estimated conditional waiting time to park in the parking area based on the remaining parking duration model. The approach further involves calculating an estimated unconditional waiting time to park in the parking area based on the blocking probability and the conditional waiting time to park.
