• % of cars looking for parking– Brooklyn, 2006, 45% of total cars

(source Transport Alternatives)

– 30% San Francisco (source SF Park)

– 18% - 25% European Studies (source ParkHelp)

– Average UK resident 6 days a year looking for Parking (source NCP Parking Survey)

FEATURES OF URBAN TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT


• Congestion• Increased pollution• Cost to Motorist• Cost to Local and National Economy• Increased journey times• No holistic view

IMPACT OF THE PARKING SPACE HUNT


• 2006, Small Business District in LA (UCLA report)

– 47000 gallons of fuel– 730 tons of CO2

• UK Average Motorist £120 a year in fuel (NCP Parking Report)

● 31M cars (2010) = £3.7BN !!

IMPACT OF THE PARKING SPACE HUNT (2)


• Traditional Variable Message Signs draw data from disparate sources

• Information usually refers to off street spaces• Inaccuracies mean data is flawed• No holistic view of space availability• No dynamic means to control traffic patterns• Limited management information

INFORMATION FOR THE MOTORIST


• Keeps space turnover• Historically reactive• Process driven not data driven• High cost in labour and infrastructure• Punitive with little return for motorist• Cost of missed tickets• Loss of revenue from unoccupied spaces• Incremental cost of reduced space turnover

THE ENFORCEMENT CONUNDRUM


• Key Components

On-Street Sensor

Gateway / Information PanelRepeater and / or active Control Centre

+ =Additional Components• Variable Message Sign• Links to P&D machines• Communication by ethernet or GSM

ON STREET VEHICLE GUIDANCE


ON STREET SENSORS


• Sensors 1 per space or multiple• Fixings• Durability• Wireless• 99.8% accuracy (Sept 2011)

ACCURACY / RELIABILITY


• Real time space availability• Management of on street spaces• Improved enforcement• Fraud detection

DELIVERABLES
