Every day a significant percentage of drivers in single-occupancy vehicles search for a parking space. Additionally, less experienced drivers or out-of-towners further contribute to the increase of traffic congestion. The type of the planned activity, time of a day, day of the week, current congestion of particular routes, knowledge of city streets, and potentially available parking places have...

Americans learn about free parking early, when they play Monopoly. Players buy property, build houses and hotels, pay rent, or go to jail at a toss of the dice – but in one toss out of 40 they land on "Free Parking." When they grow up and drive cars, the odds of landing on free parking increase dramatically; American motorists park free for 99 percent of all their trips. If motorists don't pay ...

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...

Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing technologies have connected the infrastructure of the city to make the context-aware and more intelligent city for utility its major resources. These technologies have much potential to solve thechallenges of urban areas around the globe to facilitate the citizens. A framework model that enables the integration of sensor’s data and analysis of ...

Abstract—In this paper, we mainly analyze an automated parking system where the storage and retrieval requests are performed by a tower crane. In this parking system, the S/R crane which is located at the middle of the bottom of the cylinder parking area can rotate in both clockwise and counterclockwise and three kinds of movements can be done simultaneously. We develop some mathematical travel...

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...
