Hi guys, our company's product deals with automated parking solutions for lots of sites in the US.
As part of the enhancement mechanism of the product, we want to study the regular users of the system and analyze their entry and exit times from the car park in order to prepare the vehicle ahead of time and leap to the nearest exit where it will wait for the user as we assume he will order it based on a 3 year history.
We are looking for the right algorithm for the task.
What is the best method to score the exact hour as possible?
Different behavior must be taken into account on different days, the number of entrys and exit per day and lots of variables.
I am currently only talking about users who are registered on the system and not random users.

What I have tried:

We are more than willing to help those that are stuck: but that doesn't mean that we are here to do it all for you! We can't do all the work, you are either getting paid for this, or it's part of your grades and it wouldn't be at all fair for us to do it all for you.

So we need you to do the work, and we will help you when you get stuck. That doesn't mean we will give you a step by step solution you can hand in!
Start by explaining where you are at the moment, and what the next step in the process is. Then tell us what you have tried to get that next step working, and what happened when you did.

There is no "algorithm" - you need to apply some data analysis techniques to the problem - and that is no subject for a "Quick Answers" forum!

Start here : Simple Statistical Analysis | SkillsYouNeed[^]

You might want to specifically look at Time-to-Event analysis e.g. Time-To-Event Data Analysis | Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health[^]
or Time Series analysis e.g. What is Time Series analysis?[^]

At this time you have neither a code problem nor a code question; what you actually have is a programming need, and the hardest part for the users here to help you with.

First thing you need to do is to identify what the actual need is

...to prepare the vehicle ahead of time and leap to the nearest exit where it will wait for the user...

Next thing is to determine what you have, and if it is sufficient

...we assume he will order it based on a 3 year history.

Great, you have a bunch of data to give to the pencil pushers

we want to study the regular users of the system and analyze their entry and exit times from the car park

Analysis is going to mostly a business function. They will be determining how this is going to work and come up with the mathematics for it.

Once this is done, now you can start coding the solution.
1. You should be told how to figure out any users given in/out time
2. and how much lead time is desired for them.
