An automatic parking system provides convenience for drivers by automatically finding free parking spaces and steering automobiles toward them. This paper proposes a vision-based free parking space detection system. The proposed method consists of two stages. First, the automobile rearview is three-dimensionally reconstructed using the optical flow-based method. The metric information is recove...

Parking is recognized as the most difficult task among the driving tasks. Through this topic Articulated vehicle parking problem is more difficult than passenger car, because under the aspect of control theory, the vehicle and environmental nonlonomic constraint, nonlinear and time varying kinematic equations of motion, they require a sophisticated handling. In this paper Automatic Parking of A...

In car-sharing applications and during certain time slots, some parking stations become full whereas others are empty. To redress this imbalance, vehicle redistribution strategies must be elaborated. As automatic relocation cannot be in place, one alternative is to get a leader vehicle, driven by a human, which come to pick up and drop off vehicles over the stations. This paper deals with the v...

We present PARKAGENT, an agent-based, spatially explicit, model for parking in the city. PARKAGENT is based on the geosimulation approach, combining real-world GIS database with a multi-agent system. The model simulates the behavior of each driver in a spatially explicit environment and is able to capture the complex self-organizing dynamics of a large collective of parking agents within a non-...

With any pricing measure the degree of price sensitivity of the consumers is paramount to understanding how they will react to the given price level. This study utilises revealed preference parking trend data from parking meters ex ante and ex post of a general 50% price increase in the hourly cost of on-street parking to estimate the price elasticity of demand in this market for Dublin, Irelan...

s ociety’s demand for quality is influencing the environment in which people sho~, work, are entertained, and relax. Businesses are continually striving to upgrade their service and increase their return on investment. The transition between the transport system and most activities is a parking lot. It is therefore not surprising that the quality of parking lots is increasing in importance. The...

Smart parking is a typical IoT application that can benefit from advances in sensor, actuator and RFID technologies to provide many services to its users and parking owners of a smart city. This paper considers a smart parking infrastructure where sensors are laid down on the parking spots to detect car presence and RFID readers are embedded into parking gates to identify cars and help in the b...

Background: The health of pregnant mothers is one of the most important health indicators of each country. The midwifery clinic is one of the first places in which pregnant mothers become familiar with at the time they arrive. Providing health services at a desirable level and improving the quality of services in the midwifery clinic require an accurate understanding of the situation and its co...

We study the regulation of one-way station-based vehicle sharing systems through parking reservation policies. We measure the performance of these systems in terms of the total excess travel time of all users caused as a result of vehicle or parking space shortages. We devise mathematical programming based bounds on the total excess travel time of vehicle sharing systems under any passive regul...
