Urban designers and landscape architects argue that physical characteristics of design elements in parking spaces have a direct influence in the perception of attractiveness and the sense of security of the users. Empirical research in human perception helps creating a solid conclusions and recommendations promoting quality of life. A lot of studies concluded that attractiveness and security we...

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...

This study underscores the importance of adopting integrated parking management policies that ensure not only more rational use of the available parking spaces, evenly balancing supply and demand and bringing in revenues to cover the parking facilities costs, but also the improved attractiveness of alternative transportation modes. Parking supply and demand flows within the UC campus are estima...

Due to a rapid increase in the number of vehicles, the need for parking spaces is on rise. It is important to park the cars in close proximity to avoid traffic congestion and use a parking area efficiently. Current car parking management systems utilize human personnel to find available parking areas or use a video based system that collects the information in the form of images and tracks avai...

Abstract Parking space detection is a key technology in the parking lot management system. When performing parking space detection using magnetic sensors, there may be interference from the adjacent parking space, which will result in false detection. However there still will be false detection when only cameras are used to detect the parking spaces because the performance of the cameras is inc...

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...

Parking is an underappreciated issue in urban traffic modeling and control, and drivers searching for a parking space can contribute substantially to congestion. New technologies and algorithms aim to smooth the parking search process, using sensors for dynamic pricing, transmitting availability information to drivers, or to allow advance reservation of spaces. However, the parking search proce...

optimal pricing of public parking can improve parking management. this leads to traffic flow, thereby reduces the cost of transportation network. in this paper, the transportation network with some origins, destinations, and public parking was considered. in the network, private cars drivers depending on travel time between origin and parking (driving time), travel time between parking and dest...

Smart Parking Systems obtain information about available parking spaces, process it and then place the car at a certain position. A prototype of the parking assistance system based on the proposed architecture was constructed here. The adopted hardware, software, and implementation solutions in this prototype construction are described in this paper. The effective circular design is introduced ...
