Parking lot occupation detection using vision systems is a very important task. Many systems use different sensors and their combinations to find out whether the parking lot or space is occupied or not. Using CCTV systems makes it possible to monitor great areas without a need of many sensors. In this paper, we present a method that uses the boosting algorithm for car detection on particular pa...

Driving into a parking lot only to find that all of the parking spaces are taken is frustrating. It would be very beneficial to implement a system that tracks the number of spaces left. Wireless sensors are well-fitted to do this task. Existing systems perform this task in various ways, discussed at the beginning of the paper. Taking the shortcomings of these systems into account, a new system ...

A key strategy of sustainable transportation, parking pricing can directly contribute to decreased greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. This paper describes an optimal structure of parking rates in terms of parking locations and time of day. A two-level parking model based on game theory is established using parking survey data collected in Beijing in 2014. The model was estimated based ...

We utilise collaborative path-finding to improve efficiency of smart parking systems and therefore reduce traffic congestion in metropolitan environments, while increasing efficiency and profitability of parking garages. A significant portion of traffic in urban areas is accounted for by drivers searching for an available parking space. Many cities have adopted a parking guidance and informatio...

A parking space is the beginning and end of every car journey. Policies aimed at spaces are, thus, an effective way affecting travel. regarding typically mean setting minimum requirements to meet peak demand for parking. However, in several Swedish cities, as well around Europe, attempts are made lower number places. One build homes without places cars pilot projects with zero-parking have star...

– Finding a parking space is a common challenge faced by millions of city-dwellers every day. As common is the revenue generation by fee and fine collection in these municipalities. Wireless ad hoc networking technologies offer a new and efficient means to both simplify the process of parking and find collection as well as extending the convenience for drivers. In this paper we describe a multi...

Searching for vacant parking spaces is a time-consuming and often irritating task. Car park routeing systems can assist drivers in this undertaking. Current parking systems either issue imprecise information or prove costly due to the required resources, and are thus unattractive for car park operators. In this paper, we propose a vehicle tracking and navigation module as part of a routeing sys...

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...
