The aim of this study was to build ‘Ubi-Net’, a decision-making support system for systematic establishment in U-City planning. We have experienced various urban problems caused by high-density development and population concentrations in established urban areas. To address these problems, a U-Service contributes to the alleviation of urban problems by providing real-time information to citizen...

Urban parking prices do not reflect spatially heterogeneous parking supply and demand. We present a spatially explicit model for establishing on-and off-street parking prices in a heterogeneous urban space that guarantee a predetermined uniform level of occupancy.

Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) is a special application of the Mobile Ad-hocNetwork (MANET) for managing road traffic and substantially contributes to thedevelopment of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). VANET was introduced asa standard for data communication between moving vehicles with and without fixedinfrastructure. It aims to support drivers by improving safety an...

Cities are faced with many challenges, in particular in relation to the mobility of people and the structure of land-use. Parking management, which makes the link between the fields of urban planning and transportation, is one of the crucial ways to meet these challenges. However, parking studies are a poorly covered area in transportation research. The main barrier to study parking is parking ...

in the most of the modern cities it is difficult and expensive to create more parking spaces for vehicles since the numbers of vehicles are running on the road are increasing day by day and the count of the free spaces in the cities are the same. This problem leads to congestion for parking seekers and drivers. To develop an IoT framework that targets Parking Management which is biggest challen...

Potential problems could arise when drivers leave their parking stalls and merge into the main traffic stream. These problems could partly be attributed to finding acceptable gaps to merge into with safety and without causing undue difficulties to following vehicles. Observations from a variety of sites show different distributions of gap acceptance depending mainly upon the design and layout o...

Parking in crowded urban areas is a precious resource that impacts driver stress levels, daily productivity, and the environment. A reservation system that enables individuals to buy parking spots prior to leaving their home would significantly ease these concerns. However, designing an infrastructure for guaranteed parking requires extensive sensor deployment and manpower, which is expensive a...

Information technology embeds microchips and sensors within vehicles, traffic lights, roads and makes transportation system to communicate using wireless technologies. Intelligent transport system embodies several functionalities such as traffic monitoring, parking assistant, and vehicle monitoring by making the system smarter. Parking plays a vital role amongst them. Developing countries are f...

Autonomous cars can offer numerous services to its users, one is fully autonomous parking. There are different challenges involved in autonomous parking on parking spaces such as efficient path planning under constraints or limited sensing of today’s cars. In this paper, we present a path planning approach for automated car parking in unstructured environments. Our system is able to find paths ...
