SMART PARKING

SYSNOPSIS

Project name : Smart parking.

Abstract :
This report presents an evaluation of the first transit-based smart parking project in the
u.s. at the san francisco bay area rapid transit (bart) district station in oakland, california. The
report begins with a review of the smart parking literature; next the smart parking field test is
described including its capital, operational, and maintenance costs; then the results of the
participant survey analysis are presented; and finally lessons learned from the institutional,
user, and operational perspective are documented. Some key changes in participant travel
behavior include increases in bart mode share, reductions in drive alone modal share,
decreased average commute time, and an overall reduction in total vehicle miles of travel. Key
lessons learned include that it would have been beneficial to anticipate additional time for
project scoping and permitting, and fixed wayfinding signs were beneficial in both directing
vehicles from the highway to the smart parking lot and addressing resident concerns about
increased traffic. Additionally, the majority of participants continued to use the service when
fees were implemented. However, the cmss were not widely employed in users decisionmaking processes in this application. Finally, the wireless counting system worked well, with
the exception of the in-ground sensors, which were prone to miscounts.

The purpose of research,

particularly literature review is to investigate the issues and reveal some passed research
and case study that relevant to this project. From the literature review, the problems of
current system can be clearly known.

The main problem in the project research is

motorists at crowded parking area are hard to find an available parking space. Most of
previous research applied the concept of parking guidance and information system and
used loop detector to count vehicles at the main Entrance. Thus, a list of objective and
scope are determined

to solve the problems. Thus, an analysis

on the problem
