PARKING MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL

The paper outlines recent work aiming to develop an efficient centralized parking management, control and information system. The paper identifies briefly the elements of management and control and the methods to predict in short term parking demand and its spatial and temporal characteristics, the spatial and technical characteristics and constraints of parking supply, as well as the methodological requirements and constraints of applying various forms of control. Achieving optimal supply, management and control requires the development of a system that manages traffic demand. Such a system collects link flow data through loop detectors, processes (synthesises and projects) demand and uses and disseminates relevant information to users.
