Modeling Garage Parking

چکیده
Described is a simulation model of cruising for garage parking, intended both for the calibration and evaluation of real-time parking recommendation methods, and as a base for predictive guidance to available parking. The model combines the event-based and agent-based simulation approaches to represent the parking garage and the driver behavior. It is validated by simulating a real-world parking garage and comparing the model’s output with observations. The validation results show the model’s capability to predict a garage’s state over the course of an operational day, even though specific results are not yet precise enough for the in-

Intelligent Indoor Parking
Nowadays positioning based navigation is an integrated part of our everyday’s routine. Hence, it is hard to succeed without a GPS based navigation system in a bigger city today. However, indoor positioning and navigation are still in their infancy, although these services would be desirable in many areas. One obvious application domain is vehicle navigation in a parking garage. The use of an in...
متن کاملSpatial Competition between Parking Garages and Downtown Parking Policy
This paper looks at parking policy in dense urban districts (“downtown”), where spatial competition between parking garages is a key feature. The paper has four parts. The first looks at the “parking garage operator’s problem”. The second derives the equilibrium in the parking garage market when there is no on-street parking, compares the equilibrium to the social optimum, and examines parking ...
متن کاملFinding a Parking Space
As part of a major airport expansion and renovation, the Port of Portland opted to substantially expand the airports parking facilities. Not only was an additional 95’ of structure added to the west side of the garage, but four entirely new floors were added to the top of the three-level concrete structure. To access the garage, two cast-in-place concrete helixes were constructed on the east si...
متن کاملA Simple Model of Cruising for Garage Parking
Parking guidance systems have to be calibrated and evaluated before their application in the field. One step to accomplish this is to evaluate them in a simulated environment. This paper presents a simple model of cruising for parking in a parking garage with focus on individual drivers’ behavior. While the described model itself is too basic to completely depict a driver’s decision making proc...
متن کاملThe price to park: Assessing the determinants of Garage prices and their interaction with curbside regulation
Curbside parking regulation has been widely implemented in cities around the world and increasingly they are adopting market-oriented perspectives. However, policy-makers face a complex task when they seek to foster efficiency in this market due to its intrinsic distortions (most notably, cruising in search of a parking space and garage market power). Theoretical studies stress that the right p...
