SMART PARKING RECOMMENDATION SYSTEM FOR ENERGY CONSERVATION

A smart parking recommendation system for energy conservation in a vehicle includes a smart parking recommendation application (SPRA) that determines that enabling conditions have been met and obtains from sensors and actuators of the vehicle, information about the vehicle and the vehicle's environment. The SPRA monitors information from the sensors and actuators and obtained from remote computing resources, a vehicle operator's current vehicle usage and determines a typical parking duration for a current parking location, and categorizes the current parking location. The SPRA utilizes an artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML) model to suggest a parking spot within the parking location that satisfies user and energy consumption passenger compartment thermal quality preferences. The SPRA selectively parks or guides the vehicle to be parked within a parking spot that satisfies the constraints and preferences, and minimizes energy consumption for maintaining passenger compartment and battery thermal qualities.
