Smart Parking Management Field Test: A Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) District Parking Demonstration

Smart parking management technologies can offer a cost-effective tool for addressing near-term parking constraints at transit stations. Real-time information is provided through the use of changable message signs which notify motorists about available parking spaces in park-and-ride lots. This working paper presents interim results of a smart parking field operation test that operated at a San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) District station in Oakland, California. It includes a literature review on the travel effects of smart parking-related systems, a description of the smart parking field operational test, user analyses (focus groups and surveys), and preliminary cost estimates of the field test.
