The ever-increasing number of electric vehicles (EV) on the road promotes the idea of sustainable transportation by reducing CO2 emissions. This inherently means there is a growing need for charging stations as well. A potential solution to address the need for charging stations is to transform traditional parking lots into smart parking lots, in a sense that smart parking lots provide not only...

When total parking supply in an urban downtown area is insufficient, morning commuters would choose their departure times not only to trade off bottleneck congestion and schedule delays, but also to secure a parking space. Recent studies found that an appropriate combination of reserved and unreserved parking spaces can spread the departures of those morning commuters and hence reduce their tot...

Cruising-for-parking constraints mobility in urban networks. Car-users may have to cruise for on-street parking before reaching their destinations. The accessibility and the cost of parking significantly influence people’s travel behavior (such as mode choice, or parking facility choice between on-street and garage). The cruising flow causes delays eventually to everyone, even users with destin...

Automatic parking systems consist of three core technologies: target position designation, path planning, and path tracking. Target position designation methods can be divided into four categories: user interface-based, parking slot marking-based, free space-based, and infrastructure-based. Considering the fact that parking assist systems are expected to be used mainly in urban situations, reco...

Let W be a Weyl group with root lattice Q and Coxeter number h. The elements of the finite torus Q/(h+1)Q are called the W -parking functions, and we call the permutation representation of W on the set of W -parking functions the (standard) W -parking space. Parking spaces have interesting connections to enumerative combinatorics, diagonal harmonics, and rational Cherednik algebras. In this pap...

Urban parking prices do not reflect spatially heterogeneous parking supply and demand. We present a spatially explicit model for establishing on-and off-street parking prices in a heterogeneous urban space that guarantee a predetermined uniform level of occupancy.

Cities are faced with many challenges, in particular in relation to the mobility of people and the structure of land-use. Parking management, which makes the link between the fields of urban planning and transportation, is one of the crucial ways to meet these challenges. However, parking studies are a poorly covered area in transportation research. The main barrier to study parking is parking ...

in the most of the modern cities it is difficult and expensive to create more parking spaces for vehicles since the numbers of vehicles are running on the road are increasing day by day and the count of the free spaces in the cities are the same. This problem leads to congestion for parking seekers and drivers. To develop an IoT framework that targets Parking Management which is biggest challen...

Parking in crowded urban areas is a precious resource that impacts driver stress levels, daily productivity, and the environment. A reservation system that enables individuals to buy parking spots prior to leaving their home would significantly ease these concerns. However, designing an infrastructure for guaranteed parking requires extensive sensor deployment and manpower, which is expensive a...

Potential problems could arise when drivers leave their parking stalls and merge into the main traffic stream. These problems could partly be attributed to finding acceptable gaps to merge into with safety and without causing undue difficulties to following vehicles. Observations from a variety of sites show different distributions of gap acceptance depending mainly upon the design and layout o...
