A parking cruise request is received. A network version starting segment is identified and a route determination algorithm is expended starting at the network version starting segment. When the route determination algorithm is expanded to a new segment, a cost value is determined for the new segment based at least on the likelihood of finding parking on the new segment. Responsive to determining that the likelihood of finding parking along the cruise route does satisfy the threshold probability requirement, map version agnostic identifiers for each segment of the cruise route are generated. Each of the map version agnostic identifiers are coded using at least one coding function to generate coded map version agnostic identifiers. A bloom filter having the coded map version agnostic identifiers as members is generated. A parking cruise route response comprising the bloom filter is provided such that a mobile apparatus receives the parking cruise route response.

A curbside management system and method for managing curbside use by connected and/or autonomous vehicles that includes one or more computing devices that execute instructions. One or more processors integrate at least a navigation component, an asset verification component, and a curbside management component, configured to generate recommended curbside access destinations for a vehicle associated with the customer and one of which is selected as the final curbside destination for the vehicle.

The disclosed technology provides solutions for facilitating the selection of a parking space by a user of a parking application.

In some aspects, the process may further include steps for overlaying one or more graphical objects onto the image data, wherein the one or more graphical objects are based on the listing data associated with the one or more parking spaces. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

A route guidance apparatus includes: a reservation information communications unit to receive reservation information which includes at least one of a parking-reserved space of the parking lot, a vehicle type, a vehicle number, and a parking time; a reserved vehicle recognition unit to recognize a vehicle number of a reserved vehicle and determine whether the reserved vehicle enters or exits the parking lot; a traffic flow determination unit that divides an area of each floor of the parking lot into a plurality of unit areas and calculates density within the parking lot based on the number of vehicles within each divided unit area; and a parking route generation unit and an exit route generation unit that respectively generate an optimal parking route and an optimal exit route based on the calculated density; and a route guidance unit to provide the user with the generated optimal parking and exit routes.

A parking location guidance apparatus includes a vehicle detector that detects a vehicle entering a parking lot having a plurality of gates, a departure information reflecting device that reflects leaving time information and destination information of the vehicle, an exit-specific time reflecting device calculates a time required for the vehicle to exit for each gate based on the leaving time information and the destination information, and a parking location guidance device that selects, as a parking location, a location adjacent to an optimal gate, from among the gates, according to the time required for the vehicle to exit for each gate and transmits the parking location to the vehicle.

An information processing apparatus includes: a point group data acquisition unit configured to acquire, based on information from a sensor configured to detect an object existing in surroundings of a vehicle, point group data related to a plurality of points representing the object; a movement amount estimation unit configured to estimate a movement amount of the vehicle; a storage unit configured to store, as a point group map recorded in association with position information including a latitude and a longitude, relative positions of the plurality of points relative to a first reference position that is a place on a travel path of the vehicle; and a position estimation unit configured to estimate a position of the vehicle based on the point group map, the point group data, and the movement amount.

A method determines an anticipated occupation of charging points and a charging strategy for a specified route. The method provides traffic data which is representative for the current traffic density on the route specified. An anticipated occupation of charging points along the specified route can be determined on the basis of the traffic data. A charging strategy can be determined on the basis of the traffic data and the determined anticipated occupation of charging points. The provision of information regarding a charging strategy to a driver allows the time required for the specified route to be reduced.

A vehicle for performing an autonomous parking function, the vehicle including: at least one camera configured to acquire a surrounding image of a vehicle; a display; a storage configured to store a HD map of a parking lot including an autonomous parking preparation zone; and at least one process configured to, based on the surrounding image of the vehicle being processed, generate a surround view image, based on an upper end of a road mark defining the autonomous parking preparation zone being recognized in the surround view image, track a position of the upper end of the road mark, upon the vehicle being stopped while a part of the road mark is recognized, correct a starting point on the HD map of the parking lot based on the position of the upper end of the road mark, and upon a user input for performing an autonomous parking function being received, perform the autonomous parking function based on the correct starting point.

A method and an apparatus for generating a route planning model and a storage medium are provided. The method for generating a route planning model includes: obtaining a target route data set associated with a target site; and determining a target route planning model of the target site with a site optimization object corresponding to the target site, based on the target route data set and a first route planning model; wherein the first route planning model is determined based on a set of historical route data through at least a first training, the set of historical route data being associated with a plurality of sites different from the target site and a first training optimization object for the first training corresponding to the plurality of sites.

Route planning for a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) includes obtaining respective engine activation actions for at least some road segments of a route between an origin and a destination by optimizing for at least one of a noise level or energy consumption of an engine of the HEV that is used to charge a battery of the HEV. The HEV is then controlled to follow the at least some of the road segments of the route and to activate the engine according to the respective engine activation actions. Controlling the HEV to follow the at least some of the road segments includes masking at least one of the respective engine activation actions for a current road segment by increasing a volume of an entertainment system of the HEV.
