Abstract:

With the continuous growth of vehicle ownership in large cities, parking guidance system and parking information release strategies have gradually become a hot topic for research and applications. Parking Variable Message Sign (parking VMS) is an important tool to provide parking information, particularly in displaying the information of space availability to en-route drivers. The aim of this study is to describe drivers’ responses to the parking VMSs dynamically, and try to solve the problem in providing parking information to drivers. To ensure guiding effectiveness, assisting drivers to identify parking lots with available spaces, the display strategies of parking VMS were studied. This paper proposed a discriminated release strategy with Space Occupancy Indicator (SOI) to determine the display of parking VMS and a dynamic simulation was introduced by using parking choice model and traffic assignment algorithm. Guiding reliability and display strategies were analyzed, and a discriminated release strategy with SOI was proposed. The results show that the guiding reliability can be promoted by reducing SOI of the corresponding parking lot. Moreover, the uniform guiding reliabilities of parking lots were obtained by repeating process of modification of SOI. Performances of the methods are practical, under the condition that the parking choice model consisting of waiting time is further investigated. The discriminated release strategy presented in this study will assist in designing urban parking guidance system.
