Abstract

We estimate the potential for a dynamically managed parking reservation system to increase the accommodation of real-time delivery demand by implementing a sliding time window mixed integer linear programming parking slot assignment formulation. Through our research, we reveal key trade-offs in the performance of a dynamic reservation system based on the lead time of a parking request from submission to requested arrival time, flexibility in the requested arrival time, and arrival time uncertainty. Comparing results across a range of scenarios, we find that a reservation system in our representative case can either increase parking accommodation by up to 330 h per space per year or reduce parking accommodation by up to 130 h per space per year, relative to first-come first-serve. Reservation systems tend to increase parking accommodation most when drivers have flexible but reliable arrival times, requests are made in advance, and demand is low or moderate. Reservation systems can especially reduce parking accommodation when unoccupied buffer periods between reservations are used to guarantee reservations due to uncertainty in arrival and departure times. Our results suggest that the application of dynamic curb reservation systems may be most appropriate for targeted applications where drivers have flexible but reliable arrival times.

期刊介绍： Transportation Research: Part A contains papers of general interest in all passenger and freight transportation modes: policy analysis, formulation and evaluation; planning; interaction with the political, socioeconomic and physical environment; design, management and evaluation of transportation systems. Topics are approached from any discipline or perspective: economics, engineering, sociology, psychology, etc. Case studies, survey and expository papers are included, as are articles which contribute to unification of the field, or to an understanding of the comparative aspects of different systems. Papers which assess the scope for technological innovation within a social or political framework are also published. The journal is international, and places equal emphasis on the problems of industrialized and non-industrialized regions. Part A''s aims and scope are complementary to Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, Part C: Emerging Technologies and Part D: Transport and Environment. Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review. Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour. The complete set forms the most cohesive and comprehensive reference of current research in transportation science.
