 Abstract

The invention provides a parking guidance system and

method based on the most reliable path, which are used for
solving the problem of low utilization efficiency of a parking lot
in the prior art. The parking guidance method based on the
most reliable path calculates the most reliable path from the
starting point to each candidate parking lot according to the
departure time and the expected travel time, and then
calculates the probability of idle parking numbers of each
candidate parking lot at the expected arrival time and the

 First Claim

1. A parking guidance method based on the most reliable path is

characterized by comprising the following steps: step S1, setting
departure time and expected travel time of the traveler; step S2,
calculating the most reliable path from the starting point to each
candidate parking lot according to the departure time and the
expected travel time; step S3, calculating the probability of idle
parking numbers of each candidate parking lot at the expected
arrival time; step S4, calculating the comprehensive reliability of the
parking lot according to the probability of the idle parking number;
