Paper Abstract:
|
In this paper, we propose a new intelligent parking reservation management architecture based on an optimization strategy that exploits the interval scheduling principles. In interval scheduling, a list of parking requests is given as a set of requested time intervals (expressed as start and finish time) and the scheduler (parking management architecture) decides if it can accept or not a task, and, in the second case, assign it to some resource. Adaptive pricing policies are incorporated proportional to the rejection probability of a parking request. Parking reservation presents advantages compared with the traditional Parking Guidance and Information Systems (PGIs). This is mainly due to the fact that, on the one hand, users can enjoy much smaller parking prices (through the minimization of the parking overlapping requests, resulting in better satisfaction of users preferences) and, on the other, maximization of the utilization of the overall parking infrastructure (satisfaction of parking holders). Evaluation metrics and simulation are presented that expresses the time delay deviation compared with the infrastructure utilization. |
