Parking Sensing and Information System: Sensors, Deployment, and Evaluation

Abstract

Abstract. This paper describes a smart parking sensing and information system that disseminates the parking availability information for public users in a cost-effective and efficient manner. The hardware framework of the system is built on advanced wireless sensor networks and cloud service over the Internet, and the system is highly scalable. The parking information provided to the users is set in the form of occupancy rates and expected cruising time. Both are obtained from our analytical algorithm processing both historical and real-time data, and are thereafter visualized in a color theme. The entire parking system is deployed and extensively evaluated at Stanford University Parking Structure-1

Social Parking: Applying the Citizens as Sensors Paradigm to Parking Guidance and Information

“…Correa et al suggested the cooperation of autonomous vehicles within a vehicular sensor network (VSN) [19]. Other examples of the use of WSN can be found in [20] and [21]. In short, there are a few parking systems where sensors are used to determine spots.…”

Electric vehicle charging during the day or at night? A perspective on carbon emissions

“…Correspondingly, we set the 25000 EVs in our simulation ( 25000 ≈ 580000 × 0.48 × (1.648/17.914) ). The vehicle travel pattern is simulated according to the typical travel behavior of home-to-work commuters [11], [12]. These studies show that typical arrival times at workplaces ranges from 7am-10am.…”
