This study focuses on the morning commute problem with explicit consideration of cruising-for-parking, and its adverse impacts on traffic congestion. The cruising-for-parking is modeled through a dynamic aggregated traffic model for networks: the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD). Firstly, we formulate the commuting equilibrium in a congested downtown network where travelers have to cruise ...

A parked domain is an undeveloped domain which has no content other than automatically computed advertising banners and links, used to generate profit. Despite the apparent popularity of this practice, little is known about parked domains and domain parking services that assist domain owners in parking and monetizing unused domains. This paper presents and in-depth exploration of the ecosystem ...

With the rapid development of intelligent driving technology, Intelligent Parking Assist systems have been widely used. Through analyzing technical characteristics system, this article brings up subjective evaluation indicators system from perspective consumers' daily use; Practical verification is carried out for three typical parking scenarios including parallel spaces, vertical spaces and in...

This is an invited summary of the Valletta Travel Information Service (VaTIS) position paper (DINGLI & ATTARD 2016). In this paper, we highlight the main concepts behind the Travel Information Service currently being deployed in Valletta, the Capital City of Malta. The VaTIS system is capable of harvesting data from an existing road pricing system using automatic number plate recognition (ANPR)...

Current methods of monitoring vacancies in parking lots have achieved varying levels of success, but most do not adequately deal with instances with severe vehicular occlusion. We propose a stereo-vision based system that seeks to address this issue. In this project, multiple cameras are used to monitor the vacancy status of the P502 parking spaces on UCSD campus.

Local Weyl modules over two-dimensional currents with values in glr are deformed into spaces with bases related to parking functions. Using this construction we 1) reproof that dimension of the space of diagonal coinvariants is not less than the number of parking functions; 2) describe the limit of Weyl modules in terms of semi-infinite forms and find the limit of characters; 3) propose a lower...

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has been adopted during the years for a large set of applications, such as environmental monitoring, industrial automation, process control, and, more recently, for video surveillance and multimedia streaming applications. Surveillance applications – like traffic monitoring, vehicle parking control, and intrusion detection – involve monitoring of the environment in...

By exchanging events in a vehicular ad hoc network (VANET), drivers can receive interesting information while driving. For example, they can be informed of available parking spaces in their vicinity. A suitable protocol is needed to disseminate the events efficiently within the area where they are relevant. Moreover, in such a competitive context where each vehicle may be interested in a resour...
