Abstract
A method is disclosed for generating parking related data in respect of one or more navigable elements of a navigable network within a geographic area, each navigable element being represented by a segment of an electronic map, the electronic map comprising a plurality of segments representative of the navigable network. The method comprises obtaining positional data relating to trips made by vehicles in the navigable network, each trip being a journey between stationary periods indicative of the vehicle being in a parked state. The method comprises, for each one of the plurality of trips, analysing the positional data to identify a parking space search portion of the trip; and analysing the positional data corresponding to the parking space search portions of the trips to obtain, for each one of a plurality of segments of the electronic map, a parking related parameter associated with the segment.
