1. A method comprising:
receiving vehicle data regarding each of a plurality of vehicles in a parking facility over time, the vehicle data including a time t1 indicating when each of the vehicles leaves its corresponding parking spot in the parking facility before reaching an exit of the parking facility, and a time t2 indicating when each of the plurality of vehicles reaches the exit of the parking facility;
determining an egress time for each of the plurality of vehicles to egress the parking facility based at least in part on the corresponding times t1 and t2;
assigning a timestamp to each of the egress times, resulting in timestamped egress times;
estimating a current egress time of the parking facility based at least in part on the timestamped egress times;
determining an action recommendation for a driver associated with a particular vehicle currently parked in the parking facility based at least in part on the current egress time of the parking facility; and
outputting the action recommendation for subsequent viewing by the driver of the particular vehicle.
