Abstract: An approach is provided for in-parking navigation based on mobile device sensor data, the resulted semantic events, and an estimated parking occupancy level. The approach, for example, involves receiving parking information from in-parking navigation system(s) of vehicle(s) and/or mobile device(s) associated with the vehicle(s) traveling in a parking facility with no or a positioning satellite coverage below a threshold.

The in-parking navigation system(s) determines the at least one parking spot location based on tracking multi-modal trajectories of the mobile device(s). The multi-modal trajectories comprise vehicle trajectory segment(s) traveling within the parking facility and pedestrian trajectory segment(s) traveling to/from pedestrian entry or exit point(s) of the parking facility. The approach also involves determining an occupancy level of the parking facility based on the parking information.
