• Abstract:
  Parking infrastructure is suffering from congestion as the number of vehicles circulating in urban areas is growing and expansion is not a cost-effective solution. In parallel, developments in autonomous vehicle technology mean that driverless vehicles are predicted to be in circulation by the 2020s and makeup 40% of vehicle travel by the 2040s. Expected benefits of autonomous vehicle travel include reduced congestion through vehicle sharing and reduced walking distance for passengers who can be dropped off chauffeur-style by autonomous vehicles. However, empty vehicle cruising, or the case in which autonomous vehicles cannot efficiently locate parking and circle instead, can potentially increase congestion.
