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...

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 ...

Due to the concentration of population and economic activities in metropolitan areas, urban transportation system suffers many challenges, e.g. traffic congestion and parking space storage, which affect each individuals travel experience. Previous studies looked into the transportation condition sensing using various static or mobile sensors and the travel support services based on the sensing ...

The management of public parking spaces is a sophisticated task for the municipality offices in every city. Currently, there is not a system in place in the city of Zurich where the complete parking process is implemented. The affected departments use multiple tools for certain specific tasks. In addition, many jobs such as adding, removing or suspending parking spaces are performed manually wi...

Suppose curb parking is free but all the spaces are occupied, and off-street parking is expensive but immediately available. In this case, you can cruise to find a curb space being vacated by a departing motorist, or pay for off-street parking right away. This paper presents a model of how drivers choose whether to cruise or to pay, and it predicts several results: you are more likely to cruise...

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...

We propose a new “smart parking” system for an urban environment. The system assigns and reserves an optimal resource (parking space) for a user (driver) based on the user’s objective function that combines proximity to destination and parking cost, while also ensuring that the overall parking capacity is efficiently utilized. Our approach solves a Mixed Integer Linear Program (MILP) problem at...

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...

Parking policy is an important element of transit-oriented development (TOD). It shapes travel behavior, community design, and development economics; it can improve the performance of both rail transit and TOD. This article is based on the study of residential TODs, office TODs, and joint development of transit agency station parking in California. The research includes surveys of travel behavi...

Parking and ride is a very effective method to improve the traffic condition of commuter channels, it necessary develop parking guidance strategies. In this study, considering travel time, walking distance, cruise fee, personal attributes drivers, probability model selection in scenarios was proposed, dynamic price adjustment based on equilibrium occupancy region constructed. The adjusted by de...
