Parking pricing has been suggested as a 'second-best' approach to managing road space. However, its effectiveness will depend upon the responsiveness of parking behaviour and modal choice to the price of parking. This paper examines the sensitivity of parking behaviour and modal choice to the price of on-street parking in the city of Dublin, Ireland. This analysis utilises contingent valuation ...

This report describes ways to make transportation planning evaluation more comprehensive and multi-modal. Conventional transport planning is mobility-based, it assumes that the planning objective is to maximize travel speed, and evaluates transport system performance based primarily on motor vehicle travel conditions. A new paradigm recognizes that the ultimate goal of most transport activity i...

Operators of parking guidance and information (PGI) systems often have difficulty in providing the best car park availability information to drivers in periods of high demand. A new PGI configuration model based on the optimized combination method was proposed by analyzing of parking choice behavior. This article first describes a parking choice behavioral model incorporating drivers perception...

s ociety’s demand for quality is influencing the environment in which people sho~, work, are entertained, and relax. Businesses are continually striving to upgrade their service and increase their return on investment. The transition between the transport system and most activities is a parking lot. It is therefore not surprising that the quality of parking lots is increasing in importance. The...

concerning the population growth and urban development, significant growth in the rate of personal car usage has caused more transportation and thus growth in occupying the street areas for parking vehicles. this has caused much transporting problems and traffic. hence concerning the parking issue is crucial in traffic and municipal management.the important issue is the suitable place for the p...

In this paper, an intelligent automatic parking control method is proposed. First, the dynamical equation of the rear parking control is derived. Then a fuzzy logic control is proposed to perform the parking planning process. Further, a rear neural network is proposed for the steering control. Through the simulations and experiments, the intelligent auto-parking mode controllers have been shown...

BACKGROUND Perceptions of the environment appear to be associated with walking and cycling. We investigated the reasons for walking and cycling to or from work despite reporting an unsupportive route environment in a sample of commuters. METHODS This mixed-method analysis used data collected as part of the Commuting and Health in Cambridge study. 1164 participants completed questionnaires whi...

This study investigates the morning commute problem in a single corridor with bottleneck under fully automated vehicle environment. By extending Vickrey’s model, we formulate joint decisions on departure time and parking choices of commuters who make trade-offs among travel cost, cost associated parking, tradable credits. To alleviate traffic congestion improve social welfare, propose time-vary...
