Protected Parking Routing for Weather Event Vehicle Protection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face challenges in identifying and securing suitable covered parking that provides adequate protection for their vehicles, especially during weather-related events or power outages, and are often unaware of nearby covered parking availability and capacity.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method and system that predicts potential events, determines protective attributes of parking areas, and provides routes and reservation services to secure suitable parking based on user inputs and real-time data from a back office server and third-party servers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users leave vehicles uncovered in street parking, then ease of parking access is improved, but vehicle protection against weather events deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by predicting severe weather events before they occur and proactively notifying users to move their vehicles to protected parking areas. The system identifies suitable covered parking locations in advance and provides routing guidance, enabling users to take protective action before the harmful weather event impacts the vehicle.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If users seek covered parking, then vehicle protection is improved, but awareness of parking availability and capacity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring and providing real-time information about covered parking area availability and capacity to users. The system communicates the current status of protected parking spaces, enabling users to make informed decisions about vehicle relocation based on actual availability data.
3Measurement precision
If the system provides comprehensive protective attribute data, then parking selection accuracy is improved, but system complexity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments protective attributes into distinct categories (e.g., covered parking, elevated parking, secure parking, EV charging availability). This segmentation allows the system to evaluate and present multiple independent attributes that collectively define suitable parking locations, improving selection accuracy while managing system complexity through modular attribute assessment.
Data Source
AI summary
A parking protection system includes data processing hardware and memory hardware in communication with the data processing hardware. The memory hardware stores instructions that, when executed on the data processing hardware, cause the data processing hardware to perform operations. The operations include predicting an event based on event data, determining, based on the predicted event, protective attributes, determining an availability and a capacity of one or more parking areas, and providing a route to a parking area based on the protective attributes and the determined availability and capacity.
