Parking Lot Allocation and Dynamic Parking Fee Design Based on Mechanism Design

Enhanced Parking Lot Design for Stormwater Treatment

A low impact (dispersed) design demonstrates how small alterations to parking lots can reduce runoff and pollutant loads. Storm runoff was treated as soon as rain hit the ground by encorporating a network of swales, strands and a small wet detention pond into the overall design (Figure 1). When the volume of water discharged from all the different elements to the treatment train (the swales, th...

Maintenance-based Design of Concrete Parking Structures

The purpose of this study is to determine what type of preventative maintenance for a concrete parking structure will produce the maximum economic benefit. Existing models for concrete deterioration are analyzed for their accuracy in predicting the service lives of concrete structures and a model appropriate for concrete parking structures is selected. The selected model is modified to account ...

From Parking Lot to Paradise.

BluePark: Tracking Parking and Un-parking Events in Indoor Parking Lot

Finding a parking spot in a busy indoor parking lot is a daunting task. Retracing a parked vehicle can be equally frustrating. We present BluePark, a collaborative sensing mechanism using smartphone sensors to solve these problems in real-time, without any input from user. We propose a novel technique of combining accelerometer and WiFi data to detect and localize parking and un-parking events ...

Semi-automatic Parking System Recognizing Parking Lot Markings

This paper describes a semi-automatic parking system, which can designate target position by recognizing parking lot markings. Driver is able to designate or refine the target position by drag&drop based novel user interface. Peak pair detection and clustering in Hough space recognize marking lines. Specially, one-dimensional filter in Hough space is developed to incorporate a priori knowledge ...
