Concerning the population growth and urban development, significant growth in the rate of personal car usage has caused more transportation and thus growth in occupying the street areas for parking vehicles. This has caused much transporting problems and traffic. Hence concerning the parking issue is crucial in traffic and municipal management.The important issue is the suitable place for the p...

We extend the notion of parking functions to parking sequences, which include cars of different sizes, and prove a product formula for the number of such sequences. 1 The result. Parking functions were first introduced by Konheim and Weiss [5]. The original concept was that of a linear parking lot with n available spaces, and n cars with a stated parking preference. Each car would, in order, at...

In congested urban areas, it remains a pressing challenge to reduce unnecessary vehicle circling for parking while at the same time maximize parking space utilization. In observance of new information technologies that have become readily accessible to drivers and parking agencies, we develop a dynamic non-cooperative bi-level model (i.e. Stackelberg leader-follower game) to set parking prices ...

This paper presents a car parking monitoring system using a wireless sensor network. The presented sensor network has a line-shaped topology and adopts a TDMA-based protocol for allowing multi-hop communications. Sensor nodes are deployed in the ground of an outdoor parking lot in such a way that a sensor node monitors a parking space. Each sensor node detects the availability of the associated...

Congestion can be caused by through-traffic and by traffic destined for the area where consumers park. It may appear that congestion should be reduced by increasing the price of parking. This paper shows that if road usage is suboptimally priced, then a lump-sum parking fee can increase welfare, but a parking fee per unit time does not. Indeed, an increase in the price of parking induces each p...

As the number of automobiles increases, the task of providing parking lots to accommodate more vehicles becomes very difficult and challenging. The design of parking lots needs more attention in order to have efficient and safe design. The capacity of a parking lot depends on many factors such as the parking angle. Choosing the most efficient parking angle is not an easy task since it varies wi...

This work proposes an adaptive recommendation mechanism for smart parking that takes advantage of the popularity of smartphones and the rise of the Internet of Things. The proposal includes a centralized system to forecast available indoor parking spaces, and a low-cost mobile application to obtain data of actual and predicted parking occupancy. The described scheme uses data from both sources ...

The lack of information about parkers' behavior in choosing a parking location in the Central Business District makes it difficult to develop an effective parking policy. The purpose of this study is to understand parkers’ behavior in choosing a parking location in the CBD of Surabaya. Three types of parking location choice models were developed, namely Parking Demand Regression Models, Analyti...

Curb space management and traffic flow are two important elements of the transportation system that interact with each other affect overall performance. With growth new mobility operators goods delivery, demand for access to curb is increasing rapidly. Thus, traditional use solely parking challenged it becomes manage effectively. Our study investigates allocation various uses (i.e., parking, pi...
