This paper proposes vacant parking slot detection and tracking system that fuses the sensors of automatic parking system. The proposed system consists of few stages: parking slot detection, and parking slot marking tracking. The parking slot marking detection stage recognizes various types of parking slot markings using IR Sensors. The parking slot occupancy classification stage identifies vaca...

We propose a method of detecting the existence of parked vehicles by processing the image of a parking lot taken by a surveillance camera. Whenever we want to park a car at a parking lot, how to find a proper parking division there causes a serious problem. The objective of the present article is in providing drivers with such information as the lot is fully occupied or relatively vacant, where...

In this article we describe a low-cost, minimally-intrusive system for the efficient management of parking spaces on both public roads and controlled zones. This system is based on wireless networks of photoelectric sensors that are deployed on the access roads into and out of these areas. The sensors detect the passage of vehicles on these roads and communicate this information to a data centr...

For years, Portuguese public institutions, such as hospitals, offer free parking for employees, patients and visitors. Due to the economic pressure that the country is facing, public institutions are now being pressured to charge for parking. Such measure has been socially contested as free parking has been interpreted as a labor right. However, it is a fact that public institutions cannot keep...

This paper presents our work on automatic parking of a smart car that relies on vision to estimate free parking slots. All problems involved in implementing an automatic parking behavior are discussed. Solutions are given together with experimental results obtained from real data.

The paper presents the telematics system which deals with a problem of lack of parking places for trucks. This problem can lead to very dangerous situation with improper parking of these trucks. The presented telematics system provides information about the predicted occupancy of parking areas along the highways. This information will help to optimize the usage of existing parking and it is use...

The paper presents a conceptual view and explicit agent-based model of parking in a city. Driver-agents behave within a high-resolution GIS database of the street network and parking facilities. They drive towards their destination, search for parking, park for a given interval of time, and leave the network. During parking search, driver-agents estimate the availability of parking places, thei...

Based on the traditional trip attraction model, a new method of operation condition evaluation and supply scale forecasting for public parking facilities is proposed. It begins with the operation condition investigation of existing parking facilities, and then analyzes qualitatively the existing parking facilities supply scale by four indexes. Finally, it can calculate the supply scale in predi...

Today the automobile is the dominant mode of transportation in the United States, where more than 150 million passenger vehicles are in use. Despite their centrality in the U.S. transportation system, these vehicles are not in operation approximately 95 percent of the time and must be parked in various locations, including open lots, buildings in which parking is an ancillary function, or in st...

this paper develops an automatic parking algorithm based on a fuzzy logic controller with the vehicle pose for the input and the steering angle for the output. in this way some feasible reference trajectory path have been introduced according to geometric and kinematic constraints and nonholonomic constraints to simulate motion path of car. also a novel method is used for parking space detectio...
