Summary:A final destination for a vehicle is used to identify a set of parking spaces. One of the parking spaces is selected based at least in part on at least one user parameter and data derived from historical data about the parking spaces. A route to the selected parking space is determined. The user parameter may include the walking distance or time to the final destination, payment types at the parking space, the type of parking, e.g. covered or uncovered, and the amenities present, e.g. electric vehicle charging or disabled access spaces. The historical data may relate to the probability that a parking space will be occupied at a given time and waiting times for the space to become free. An estimated time of arrival (ETA) may also be used in selecting the space and the ETA and associated space selection may be updated during the journey to the destination.
