• Abstract:
  The purpose of FMCSA's SmartPark project was to determine the feasibility of a technology for providing truck parking space availability information in real time to truckers on the road. SmartPark consisted of two phases. Phase I was a field operations test to determine the accuracy and reliability of a technology for counting truck parking space availability. Since Phase I was successful, the project proceeded to Phase II. This document is the final report for Phase II. In Phase II the focus of the project was to pilot a truck parking information system and analyze the efficacy of this system. The truck parking availability information system consisted of dynamic message signs (DMSs), a mobile application, a public Web site, and an interactive voice response system (IVR) to disseminate the real-time information. The analysis examines the system against the performance measures.
