ENFORCEMENT POLICIES FOR PARKING REGULATIONS

EFFECTIVE ENFORCEMENT OF NO-PARKING REGULATIONS IS ESSENTIAL IN URBAN AREAS TO PROVIDE THE HIGH COMPLIANCE WITH PARKING REGULATIONS REQUIRED FOR EFFICIENT STREET SWEEPING. A PROBABILISTIC FINITE-STATE MACHINE MODEL THAT RELATES ENFORCEMENT TO EXPECTED LEVELS OF COMPLIANCE IS DEVELOPED, AND ITS SIMULATION RESULTS ARE SHOWN TO AGREE WITH EXPERIMENTAL DATA. THE EFFECTS OF DETERMINISTIC AND RANDOM ENFORCEMENT POLICIES ARE DESCRIBED, AND A CLASS OF IMPLEMENTABLE POLICIES THAT YIELD SATISFACTORY RESULTS IS ANALYZED. IT WAS SHOWN THAT ONCE EVERY FOUR DAYS IS THE LOWEST FREQUENCY FOR WHICH SATISFACTORY LEVELS OF COMPLIANCE CAN BE ACHIEVED. THE RESULTS ARE USED TO DETERMINE SCHEDULES AND ROUTES FOR ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS THAT INCREASE THEIR EFFECTIVENESSES. /AUTHOR/
