Searching for parking spaces on the street causes a significant part of the urban traffic and results in extra costs for the drivers in terms of time and fuel consumption. Existing approaches to predict the availability of parking spaces have significant drawbacks as they are either expensive or rely on the users ́ information. This article deals with the prediction of the parking situation base...

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...

We propose a “smart parking” system for an urban environment based on a dynamic resource allocation approach. 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 with parking cost, while also ensuring that the overall parking capacity is efficiently utilized. Our approach solves a M...

This paper proposes a multi-optimization approach to the autonomous parking of car-like vehicles. It uses a polynomial curve primitive — the η-spline — to build up intrinsically feasible path maneuvers over which to minimize with a weighted sum method the total length of parking paths and the moduli of the maximum path curvature and curvature derivative. The approach takes into account the mand...

Shared parking is an effective means to alleviate the shortage of spaces in urban central areas during morning peak hours. Meanwhile, walking time cost and fees are two critical factors affecting shared efficiency. Firstly, based on classic bottleneck model, added then user equilibrium solutions obtained considering choices lots: accessorial parking. Next, taking minimum total social queue as m...

By increasing auto demands, efficient parking management is by no means less important than road traffic congestion control. Identification of parking available in metropolitan areas during the peak hours is most complex process for the driving people. This is due to shortages of parking spaces within the limited land areas of the city centers in many metropolises. Identification of parking ava...

Finding a parking space is a key mobility problem in urban scenarios. Parking Guidance Information (PGI) systems could mitigate this issue, but they require information about on-street parking availability. An encouraging solution discussed in the literature is crowd-sensing by a fleet of probe vehicles, which can continuously scan the current state of parking lanes during their regular trips. ...
