The automated inspection is desired to detect the vehicle in large parking space, which is difficult to survey by fixed the vision-sensor. We purposed mobile robot surveillance in parking space for parking lot inspection. To obtain the parking lot information, vision sensor is wide useful for parking lot state checking which measurement is difficult to obtain the positioning of vehicle while ac...

Finding a parking spot in a busy indoor parking lot is a daunting task. Retracing a parked vehicle can be equally frustrating. We present BluePark, a collaborative sensing mechanism using smartphone sensors to solve these problems in real-time, without any input from user. We propose a novel technique of combining accelerometer and WiFi data to detect and localize parking and un-parking events ...

Taking time-varying parking demands and supplies into account, this paper develops a dynamic parking choice model to simulate drivers’ searching for parking spaces between parking lots. In this study, each parking lot has one access passage and vehicles can move or wait for entering the park in the access passage. The flow propagation formula in the access passage of parking lots is established...

Large commercial and industrial loads known as large energy consumers are always seeking to reduce their energy costs and consequently they are utilizing renewable and non-renewable energy sources in procurement of their required energy. Use of renewable energy sources (RESs) and plug-in electric vehicles (PHEVs) parking lot without proper planning will make technical and economic problems for ...

In this paper the role of Plug-In Electric Vehicles’ (PIEVs) parking lot in operating Smart Multi-Energy System (SMES) has been investigated. SMES in this paper has been modeled as a multi-input multi-output model which consists of some storage and energy converters. In the proposed framework, the PIEV’s parking lot behaves like an energy storage with selling energy price less than upstream net...

We propose a method of detecting the existence of parked vehicles by processing the image of a parking lot taken by a surveillance camera. Whenever we want to park a car at a parking lot, how to find a proper parking division there causes a serious problem. The objective of the present article is in providing drivers with such information as the lot is fully occupied or relatively vacant, where...
