Short answer

How can I get parking occupancy data using my AI?

Give your AI a specific parking location ID, and it will use the TomTom connector to pull real-time occupancy and metadata. You'll get specific details about availability for individual spots immediately.

Where the data goes

Information outcomes

Your AI turns raw TomTom IDs into usable parking intelligence.

DATA

Real-time occupancy

The AI pulls current availability numbers for specific parking locations. You get the exact status of a spot without manual searching.

METADATA

Location specifics

Your agent retrieves granular metadata tied to the parking ID. This includes the specific attributes of the location.

ANALYSIS

Pattern recognition

Since your AI sees the data, you can ask it to compare different locations or spot types. It handles the heavy lifting of comparing IDs.

HUMAN

Decision making

The AI provides the facts, but you decide how to route vehicles or adjust schedules. It presents the data; you make the call.

The workflow

What your AI does when a parking ID is provided.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat interface and TomTom's live parking database.

  1. Identify the ID

    Your AI parses your request to find the specific TomTom parking ID you're asking about.

    get_parking_details

  2. Fetch live status

    The agent calls the connector to pull the most recent occupancy data for that exact ID.

    get_parking_details

  3. Extract metadata

    It pulls the secondary details and specific location attributes associated with the spot.

    get_parking_details

  4. Report findings

    The AI translates the raw data into a plain English summary for your chat window.

    get_parking_details

FAQ

How the connector behaves

  • 01

    Can my AI change the parking status?

    No. The AI can only read occupancy and metadata. It cannot modify parking data or change real-world availability.

  • 02

    Do I need to provide a TomTom ID every time?

    Yes. The tool requires a specific ID to pull the correct metadata and occupancy status.

  • 03

    Can the AI find parking locations by street name?

    No. This specific tool works by retrieving details for existing IDs. It does not search for new locations by name.

  • 04

    Will the AI remember my previous searches?

    The AI's ability to remember depends on your specific AI client's chat history, not the connector itself.

  • 05

    Can the AI book a parking spot?

    No. The tool is for retrieving information only. It has no capability to perform transactions or bookings.
