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...

Parking is a key component of urban transportation managements and has become a severe problem at many tourist attractions during holidays in China. This paper presents a novel scheme to relieve the holiday parking pressure. Based on the perspectives of the activity-based travel characteristics, we propose an effort to develop parking alternatives by utilizing existing traffic facilities. A con...

Finding a parking space is a key problem in urban scenarios, often due to the lack of actual parking availability information for drivers. Modern vehicles, able to identify free parking spaces using standard onboard sensors, have been proven to be effective probes to measure parking availability. Nevertheless, spatio-temporal datasets resulting from probe vehicles pose significant challenges to...

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...

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.

introduction recent studies of public underground parking lots showed the influence of radon concentration and the probable discomfort caused by parking cars. materials and methods radon concentration was measured in semi-closed public parking lots in the six governorates of kuwait, using durridge rad7radon detector (usa). results the peak radon concentration in the parking lots of kuwait gover...

The industrialization of the world, increase in population and mismanagement of the available parking space has resulted in parking problems. There is a need for an intelligent and reliable system which can be used for searching the unoccupied parking facility, to reduce the cost of leasing people and for better use of resources for car-park owners. This paper introduces an algorithm to increas...

Purpose Freight vehicle parking facilities at large urban freight traffic generators, such as urban retail malls, are often characterized by a high volume of vehicle arrivals and a poor parking supply infrastructure. Recurrent congestion of freight parking facilities generates environmental (e.g. pollution), economic (e.g. delays in deliveries) and social (e.g. traffic) negative externalities. ...

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...

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...
