Analysis of the System of Controlling Paid Parking Zones

Abstract

Urban traffic can be curbed in various ways, for instance, by introducing paid unguarded parking zones (PUPZ). The operational functionality of this system depends on whether or not the various system features used to document parking cases function properly, including those which enable positioning of vehicles parked in the PUPZ, recognition of plate numbers, event time recording, and the correct anonymisation of persons and other vehicles. The most fundamental problem of this system is its reliability, understood as the conformity of control results with the actual state of matters. This characteristic can be studied empirically, and this article addresses the methodology proposed for such an examination, discussed against a case study. The authors have analysed the statistical dependence of the e-control system’s measurement errors based on operational data. The results of this analysis confirm the rationale behind the deployment of the e-control system under the implementation of the smart city concept in Warsaw.

Construction of a Measurement System with GPS RTK for Operational Control of Street Lighting

“…In the measurements carried out so far [60], a classic GPS receiver was used, which under the conditions of urban traffic and dense buildings generated numerous positioning errors of measurement samples, which significantly influenced the obtained results of illuminance values in the analyzed areas. A solution to this problem could be the use of a precise GPS RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) receiver [61,62].…”
