Abstract
ABSTRACT The emergence of parking application software (parking APP), considerably decreases unnecessary vehicle circling and enhances parking resource utilization. Despite the abundant functions available, limited research has considered customer requirements and satisfaction regarding the functions of parking APPs. This research exactly examined the customer perception, as well as how satisfied customers were with the functions provided by the parking APPs. Initially, the attribute classification of functions was identified utilizing Kano model based on a questionnaire survey in Hunan Province, China. The integrated functions were then used as an antecedent to evaluate customer satisfaction by structural equation model (SEM). The data analysis suggests the perceived quality is positively influenced by the four main functions of query, navigation, evaluation, and account. The results reveal that customers have less demand for automatic space grabbing and reverse vehicle tracking in small and medium-sized cities.
期刊介绍:
Transportation Planning and Technology places considerable emphasis on the interface between transportation planning and technology, economics, land use planning and policy.
The Editor welcomes submissions covering, but not limited to, topics such as:
• transport demand
• land use forecasting
• economic evaluation and its relationship to policy in both developed and developing countries
• conventional and possibly unconventional future systems technology
• urban and interurban transport terminals and interchanges
• environmental aspects associated with transport (particularly those relating to climate change resilience and adaptation).
The journal also welcomes technical papers of a more narrow focus as well as in-depth state-of-the-art papers. State-of-the-art papers should address transport topics that have a strong empirical base and contain explanatory research results that fit well with the core aims and scope of the journal.
