Removal Scheduling of a Multi-Story Mechanical Parking Facility

Parking-facility design enhances safety, security.

Smart Parking System with Image Processing Facility

Smart Parking Systems obtain information about available parking spaces, process it and then place the car at a certain position. A prototype of the parking assistance system based on the proposed architecture was constructed here. The adopted hardware, software, and implementation solutions in this prototype construction are described in this paper. The effective circular design is introduced ...

A Method for Navigating Cars in Multilevel Parking Facility

In this paper, we focus on multilevel parking facilities and propose a navigation system that minimizes the time required for cars to find vacant parking spaces. Parking zones at large parking facilities provide drivers conditions to drivers due to differences in distances from the entrance of the parking facility or to the entrances of the shopping areas. This leads to many cars concentrating ...

Multi-week MILP scheduling for an ice cream processing facility

This paper presents a multi-week mixed integer linear programming (MILP) scheduling model for an ice cream processing facility. The ice cream processing is a typical complex food manufacturing process and a simplified version of this processing has been adapted to investigate scheduling problems in the literature. Most of these models only considered the production scheduling for a week. In thi...

Wirelessly Sensing Open Parking Spaces : Accounting and Management of Parking Facility

Driving into a parking lot only to find that all of the parking spaces are taken is frustrating. It would be very beneficial to implement a system that tracks the number of spaces left. Wireless sensors are well-fitted to do this task. Existing systems perform this task in various ways, discussed at the beginning of the paper. Taking the shortcomings of these systems into account, a new system ...
