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 ...

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...

Introduction:  Parking areas that are gathering places for tank trucks are potentially dangerous places. This study analyzes accident consequences of oil products carriers, to check and compare the hazard radius with recommended separation distances. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was carried out in 5 stages, including: scenario selection, determination of the accidents source para...

The number of vehicle used in the world are increasing day by day resulting in the obvious problem of parking of these vehicle’s in residential and vocational areas. We perceive the problem of vehicles parking in vocational establishments / malls. Today majority of parking systems are manual parking systems where in, on the spot, parking of the vehicle is done and a parking slip is generated an...

this paper develops an automatic parking algorithm based on a fuzzy logic controller with the vehicle pose for the input and the steering angle for the output. in this way some feasible reference trajectory path have been introduced according to geometric and kinematic constraints and nonholonomic constraints to simulate motion path of car. also a novel method is used for parking space detectio...

in present paper, housing has been considered as a multidimensional and heterogeneous item. its characteristics has been considered as key elements in determination of unit price of each building unit. the aim of the present paper is to determine the degree of importance which each charactericstics of housing has for users. there fore, hedonic price function of urbun housing in khoramabad estim...

This paper overviews the Smart Structure project. We found a desire from the City of San Luis Obispo for a way to tell the availability of parking spaces in local parking garages. In addition to meeting this need the project aims to provide functionality and adaptability based on future “smart” devices and making the device fit into an Internet of Things (IoT) system. Currently drivers must man...

This paper proposes a technique for the awareness of free parking zone with Sensors. In order to resolve the issues that the drivers can’t notice the best parking zone timely, a reservation primarily based best parking zone is intended. It detects parking slots by individual Sensors mounted to the slots. Parking slot occupancy is probabilistically calculated by treating every parking slot regio...

Quality is the most important consequence of an urban design project, and its promotion is the final duty of an urban designer. So "urban design guidelines" which use environmental improvement factors in their structure, have an effective role in promoting urban space quality. "Urban design guidelines" are the most important instruments in urban designers' authority, to reflect and appear im...

The industrialization of the world, increase in population, slow paced city development and mismanagement of the available parking space has resulted in parking related problems. There is a dire need for a secure, intelligent, efficient and reliable system which can be used for searching the unoccupied parking facility, guidance towards the parking facility, negotiation of the parking fee, alon...
