Applying data science to find parking
Sometimes arriving at a destination isn’t the end of a journey. In a busy area with limited parking, finding a spot can add considerable time and stress onto the end of a trip.
Help drivers find a parking spot faster and easier with HERE Parking, a connected service that lets drivers improve their chances of locating public places to park ahead of time on streets, in garages and parking lots.
Parking doesn’t need to be complicated or unpredictable
Parking personalized
With time, HERE Parking learns drivers‘ preferences for off-street parking options (price versus walking distance), to deliver the most relevant options to drivers as they reach their destination. HERE enables OEMs to differentiate their brand and offer more personalized navigation experiences to their customers.
A more economical way to park
HERE Parking helps drivers save money by displaying pricing information directly in their vehicles. By predicting where spots are available, drivers spend less time, and gas, circling around. The service also notes parking regulations for a given area, helping drivers avoid rule violations.
Robust coverage, and still growing
Being a parking data aggregator, HERE is striving to increase the coverage of its parking service for its automotive customers. Currently available in Europe, Americas, APAC countries, our coverage keeps growing day by day.
Plan journeys more efficiently
Drivers often know their ETA but what they tend to forget is the estimated time it will take to park at their destination. Our historical time-to-park estimates help to improve that, enabling drivers to be more efficient.
Under the hood
HERE Parking is made from our On-Street and Off-Street Parking RESTful APIs to give drivers a complete view of their parking options.
The HERE On-Street Parking API uses both historical and real-time data to predict where a driver is most likely to find a parking spot, how long they’ll be searching and what restrictions may apply.
The HERE Off-Street Parking API adds the availability of nearby parking facilities with pricing, restrictions and other useful information drivers need when choosing a spot.
