A system and method of using V2V communication to inventory and communicate the availability of a parking space. The method includes capturing and analyzing an image of a parking area to identify the availability and location of a parking space. Real time images of roaming vehicles are also captured and analyzed to identify recently occupied or vacated parking spaces. Available parking spaces are inventoried in a data base. The method further includes a roaming V2V vehicle detecting the availability and location of a parking space and transmitting the information to other V2V vehicles and to the data base to augment the inventory. The database inventory is then transmitted by a roadside unit to a V2V equipped vehicle within the parking area. The V2V vehicle merges the information from the database and other V2V vehicles, and generates a LDM displaying the locations of non-occupied parking spaces contained in the multiple signals.
