The main problem with counting vehicles in rest areas in Europe and America is the overflowing of parking lots in the rest areas. Thus it is impossible to count parked vehicles with traditional, direct methods, which use cameras and Lidar (light dete...
Environmental air pollution poses a significant threat to human health, with nitrogen oxides (NOx) identified as contributors to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. This study evaluates NOx levels in an underground car park of a hospital complex...
The importance of vacant parking space detection systems is increasing dramatically as the avoidance of traffic congestion and the time-consuming process of searching an empty parking space is a crucial problem for drivers in urban centers. However,...
The main scope of the presented research was the development of an innovative product for the management of city parking lots. Our application will ensure the implementation of the Smart City concept by using computer vision and communication platfor...
In order to reduce the pressure on urban road traffic, multi-modal travel is gradually replacing single-modal travel. Park and ride (P + R) and kiss and ride (K + R) are effective methods to integrate car transportation and rail transit. However, the...
The air quality in a hospital’s underground car park is a concern because diesel fumes from cars impact upon vulnerable people attending medical consultations. This research aims to quantify the potential health risk associated with a particula...
The emergence of automotive-grade LiDARs has given rise to new potential methods to develop novel advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). However, accurate and reliable parking slot detection (PSD) remains a challenge, especially in the low-light...
In recent years, parking lot management systems have garnered significant research attention, particularly concerning the application of deep learning techniques. Numerous approaches have emerged for tackling parking lot occupancy challenges using de...
In this paper, we present a Remote Sens. approach to localize parking cars in a city in order to enable the development of parking space availability models. We propose to use high-resolution stereo satellite images for this problem, as they provide...

China has a historic system of wide cycle tracks, many of which are now encroached by cars, buses and bus stops. Even with these conditions, college students still bicycle. On campuses, students park their bikes on facilities ranging from kick-stand-...
Along with society’s development, transportation has become a key factor in human daily life, increasing the number of vehicles on the streets. Consequently, the task of finding free parking slots in metropolitan areas can be dramatically chall...
A smart parking system (SPS) is an integral part of smart cities where Internet of Things (IoT) technology provides many innovative urban digital solutions. It offers hassle-free parking convenience to the city dwellers, metering facilities, and a re...
Rapid urbanization causes severe parking problems in developing cities. Parking policies cannot be strictly applied in some cases because of varying claims by developers. The variables such as household density, car ownership, and availability of pub...
(1) Background: Evidence-based policymaking requires data about the local population’s socioeconomic status (SES) at detailed geographical level, however, such information is often not available, or is too expensive to acquire. Researchers have...
According to the vehicle dynamics model and the requirements of reliable safety and minimal time, the path planning problem of parking in different types of parking spaces is solved by obstacle avoidance analysis and motion analysis in the case of th...
Bus rapid transit (BRT) system is a sustainable mode choice alternative and traffic management method for traffic congestion problems in urban areas. As an extent of total demand management, BRT has broadly been implemented in many countries. BRT has...
The proper design and installation of systems that enable the efficient control and removal of smoke and hot gases in underground parking facilities are necessary for protecting the public and property in the event of a fire. This paper discusses how...
Intelligent traffic management is an important issue for smart cities. City councils try to implement the newest techniques and performant technologies in order to avoid traffic congestion, to optimize the use of traffic lights, to efficiently use ca...
With the increasing intelligence of automobiles, vehicle pre-ventilation can be better controlled. In summer, cars parked in the open air are directly exposed to sunlight; thus, a high-temperature environment is formed in the occupant cabin, which se...
In this study, we implemented a parking occupancy/vacancy detection system (POVD) in a scaled-down model of a parking system for commercial centers by employing multiple WiFi access points. By exploiting the presence of WiFi routers installed in a co...
Carpooling schemes for mutual cost benefits between the driver and the passengers has a long history. However, the convenience of driving alone, the increasing level of car ownership, and the difficulties in finding travelers with matching timing and...
Urban parking facilities often experience severe peak-period congestion, resulting in delays, fuel consumption, and emissions. This paper develops an incentive-based intelligent parking management system to address the challenges of peak demand by en...
Dispersed settlement areas (e.g., Slovenia) result in lower development of fixed public transport lines and thereby car-dependent lifestyles. To avoid congestion inside the cities and on highways in these areas, shared mobility modes e.g., carpooling...
The use of autonomous vehicles (AVs) has the potential to transform users’ behaviour and urban space management. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of impacts require a scenario building method. We considered the fleet size, modal share, car owner...
In Saudi Arabia, car ownership rates are considered comparatively high due to the lack of other alternatives, cheap fuel and car registration costs, and higher income. The population relies mainly on automobiles for their daily trips and primarily co...
Currently, congestion in Karachi’s central business district (CBD) is the result of people driving their cars to work. Consequently, a park and ride (P&R) service has proved successful in decreasing traffic congestion and the difficulty of findin...
Putrajaya is facing an increasing number of private car ownership and its usage. Integrated transportation infrastructure connecting the city with suburban areas and comparatively low-cost housing schemes are at the fringes of Putrajaya City. It crea...
This paper presents a simulation study and development of a prototype of an integrated electronic system, specifically designed to enhance both the safety and the comfort of passengers and drivers in modern vehicles. The proposed system provides inte...
Shared e-scooters were introduced in urban public spaces as a way to promote a modal shift from cars in short-distance trips, as well as to improve sustainability, resilience, and equity in urban transport. However, the expansion of shared e-scooter...
