Abstract: Embodiments of the invention comprise a computer system and a method for recommending a driving route that reduces parking search time and parking costs. The system is configured to receive information about a current location of a car, a desired destination, and parking preferences, to process this information together with available traffic and parking information in order to calculate a recommended route a car should follow during a parking search, and to communicate the recommended route to the car driver. The driver is instructed to park at the first available spot along selected portions of the recommended route.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for knowledge discovery in spatial data as well as to systems and methods for optimizing recipes used in spatial environments such as may be found in precision agriculture. A spatial data analysis and modeling module is provided which allows users to interactively and flexibly analyze and mine spatial data. The spatial data analysis and modeling module applies spatial data mining algorithms through a number of steps. The data loading and generation module obtains or generates spatial data and allows for basic partitioning. The inspection module provides basic statistical analysis. The preprocessing module smoothes and cleans the data and allows for basic manipulation of the data. The partitioning module provides for more advanced data partitioning. The prediction module applies regression and classification algorithms on the spatial data. The integration module enhances prediction methods by combining and integrating models.
