Research on Dynamic Parking Space Allocation Model in Closed Parking Lot

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper investigated Dynamic Parking Space Allocation Model (DPSAM), which is one of functional modules of On-line Parking Space Reservation System (OPSRS). In the model, the parking spaces were regarded as a two-dimensional parking resource pool of temporal and spatial components. An integer programming formulation was presented with the objective function of minimizing the discontinuous parking resources. The experiment was executed to compare the allocation solutions of optimization model and random allocation with the indicators of parking resource vacancy rate, parking resource sunk rate and parking demand satisfaction rate. The result shows that optimization model can improve the utilization efficiency of parking lot and is valuable for the application of OPSRS.
