Abstract:

Real-time parking availability information is important in urban areas, and if available could reduce congestion, pollution, and gas consumption. This project presents a software solution called PhonePark for detecting the availability of on-street parking spaces. The solution does not rely on any dedicated infrastructure or external sensors, and therefore is much more economical than existing solutions. For any driver carrying a mobile device with global positioning system (GPS) and/or accelerometer, PhonePark can automatically determine when and where she parked her car. The proposed technology does not rely only on GPS/accelerometer for parking activity detection, instead Bluetooth enabled mobile devices can also be utilized. Parking activities can also be detected by taking advantage of pay-by-phone parking. Further contributions include an algorithm to compute the historical parking availability profile for an arbitrary street block and algorithms to estimate the parking availability in real-time for a given street block. The algorithms are evaluated using real-time and real world street parking data.
