Abstract:
An artificial neural network trained to predict the availability of an unused duration of a parking space based on input features is executed. Input features may include at least a contextual situation associated with the second entity, a behavior factor associated with a first entity that has been using the parking space, geographical location and time, events occurring within a threshold distance from the parking space. The artificial neural network may be further trained to output a transfer affinity based on the predicted availability of an unused duration, the contextual situation associated with the second entity and the behavior factor associated with the first entity. Based at least on the transfer affinity, the second entity can be selected. The unused duration can be transferred to the second entity from the first entity. The transferring can also include storing a payment and associated computation as a blockchain node in a blockchain.
