Abstract
A method and apparatus for identifying parking areas may include identifying a plurality of coordinates representing vehicle spatial data, partitioning the plurality of coordinates into at least two groups of vehicle locations based on at least one condition existing when the plurality of coordinates was identified, clustering the vehicle spatial data for a first group of the at least two groups of vehicle locations based on proximity, comparing dimensions of the clustered vehicle spatial data for the first group with other location data within the vehicle transportation network information, and defining a respective location of the clustered vehicle spatial data as a parking area of a plurality of parking areas. Each parking area is associated with a respective location in a vehicle transportation network. The parking area information may be used in the identification of a route from an origin to a primary destination.
