In urban areas, the parking area was a problem that was quite complicated, especially in areas that become activities like industry centres, economy, tourism and others. In term of this, it was due to the fairly large urbanization which causes increasing population in urban areas. In addition, the level of private vehicle ownership was high enough so that it would directly add to the traffic flow. The problem that arose then was the traffic congestion caused by traffic flow exceeds the road capacity, the traffic processing system that is not good, nor because the road does not operate as it should. The one implication was the road not functioning properly was the parking of vehicles using the road (on-street parking). Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the park characteristics, in order to know the parking spaces capacity, as well as providing alternative solutions when capacity did not meet the parking space. This study was only conducted on the parking lot of the capacity market delinquent parking spaces as well as the park characteristics that included the accumulated parking, parking volume, parking average length, parking turnover rate, index parking of which was the object of this research was cars passenger and two-wheelers. In regarding this research could be used as input and consideration in determining or take wisdom in dealing with the parking problem in Pasar Badung (traditional market).

Truck parking is currently ranked by the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) as the fifth most critical issue for the trucking industry and, more importantly, as the second most important issue for truck drivers. Part of the problem can be attributed to inadequate supply of parking and federal hours of service (HOS) regulations. Recent truck driver stated-preference surveys reveal that amenities including restrooms, fuel, and showers are important considerations while seeking available parking. A link between parking usage patterns and facility amenity bundles can guide transportation agency investments in relation to the design and type of parking facilities with high potential to mitigate overcrowding issues, and can be used for predictive modeling in real-time parking availability algorithms and information systems. This paper used historical, anonymous truck global positioning system (GPS) data to determine the extent to which hourly parking usage patterns, that is, average parking duration, percentage of parked trucks, and parking usage ratio, vary by amenity availability. A K-means clustering model grouped parking facilities by time of day parking usage patterns, season, and geographic region. Each cluster, represented by parking usage patterns, was then tied to unique amenity bundles. Three usage pattern clusters were identified: overnight usage with long parking durations ( Cluster 1), off-peak usage with long parking durations, ( Cluster 2), and off-peak usage with short parking durations ( Cluster 3). In general, overnight and longer duration parking was associated with facilities that had fewer amenities, notably without showers, while peak and off-peak hours and shorter duration parking was associated with full-service facilities.

One of the main components of Regional Original Revenue is regional retribution. Thus in order to improve the ability of Regional Original Revenue, one of them can be achieved by increasing regional revenues from the regional retribution sector. The service quality received by market users as retribution payers will affect the achievement of market retribution targets. The thesis purpose was to analyze the effect of the service quality of Industry and Trade Departement on the effectiveness of withdrawing market parking retribution in Blitar City.
The research design was intended to test the research hypothesis and to interpret the causal relationship between independent variables and dependent variables, namely the variable service quality of the market service (X) and the effectiveness of withdrawing market parking retribution (Y). The population was the people who use parking on the market of Blitar City which amounts to an average of 880 people every day. The sample size was 90 respondents with Proportionate Stratifeid Sampling technique. The research instrument used a questionnaire and has been tested for validity and reliability testing. To test or measure the effect of exogenous variables on the endogenous variable used rimple regression analysis.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, with the rapid development of China’s automobile industry, the number of vehicles in China has been increasing steadily. Vehicles represent a convenient mode of travel, but the growth rate of the number of urban motor vehicles far exceeds the construction rate of parking facilities. The continuous improvement of parking allocation methods has always been key for ensuring sustainable city management. Thus, developing an efficient and dynamic parking distribution algorithm will be an important breakthrough to alleviate the urban parking shortage problem. However, the existing parking distribution models do not adequately consider the influence of real-time changes in parking demand and supply on parking space assignment. Therefore, this study proposed a method for dynamic parking allocation using parking demand predictions and a predictive control method. A neural-network-based dynamic parking distribution model was developed considering seven influencing factors: driving duration, walking distance, parking fee, traffic congestion, possibility of finding a parking space in the target parking lot and adjacent parking lot, and parking satisfaction degree. Considering whether the parking spaces in the targeted parking lots are shared or not, two allocation modes—sharing mode and non-sharing mode—were proposed and embedded into the model. At the experimental stage, a simulation case and a real-time case were performed to evaluate the developed models. The experimental results show that the dynamic parking distribution model based on neural networks can not only allocate parking spaces in real time but also improve the utilisation rate of different types of parking spaces. The performance score of the dynamic parking distribution model for a time interval of 2–20 min was maintained above 80%. In addition, the distribution performance of the sharing mode was better than that of the non-sharing mode and contributed to a better overall effectiveness. This model can effectively improve the utilisation rate of resources and the uniformity of distribution and can reduce the failure rate of parking; thus, it significantly contributes to more smart and sustainable urban parking management.

Critical information on the effects that truck parking shortages have on crucial stakeholders, truck drivers in particular, has historically been obtained through survey methods. However, survey methodologies rely heavily on generalizations, respondents’ memory, the recency effect in memory recall, or experiences that evoked strong feelings. To investigate detailed truck parking shortage impacts using a method less reliant on historical recollections, the researchers developed and implemented a 14-day truck parking travel diary study. A total of 148 U.S. drivers participated, providing detailed data for 2,035 days of parking activity and 4,763 unique stops. The analysis focused on truck parking topics that have a nexus to previous survey findings that relate to drivers, state departments of transportation and enforcement activities, and other stakeholders, to facilitate the comparison of truck parking survey data with the diary data. Generally, the truck parking diary findings corroborated survey results. Almost 90% of drivers parked in an unauthorized location at least once a week – supporting survey findings that a majority of drivers find parking is difficult at least once a week. Data on unauthorized parking demonstrated that time-of-day can affect the ease of finding available parking, with peak difficulty occurring during evening hours. Drivers primarily choose parking locations for the mandated 10-h hours-of-service breaks based on practical needs – proximity to route, restroom and shower access, and expected parking availability. The research findings can provide policy, regulatory, and infrastructure guidance to both private industry and public agencies.

The smart parking industry around the world continues to evolve due to the advancement of the technology and inadequate parking availability especially in city areas that congested with traffic makes the parking issues become more crucial. Most of the countries around the world trying to improve their parking system to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the parking mechanism. In N Go is a proposed parking system that integrated with Car Plate Recognition Technology to enhance the parking process to become more efficient. Car Plate Recognition is the key technology of the proposed system that can supported by Mobile Application for ease of information access on parking area, issuing receipts, parking history, parking feedback, manage payment and manage personal account. In N Go system is easy to use by performing 4 easy steps to park, which the first step is to register an account, followed by register car plate number, register a payment and finally maintain registered payment balance. The payment methods used for this system can be either using Credit or Debit card. The benefits of the system is to improve the traditional parking system that still using either receipt or card that is inefficient and this system also can prevent long queues for the payment. Others system functionality are to blast the announcements and penalties to the users. This paper is also highlighting on the conceptual model of the In N Go system.

Full textAbstract:
The parking industry has seen significant changes over the past decade with the infusion of new technology and smart assets. The introduction of networked meters, virtual payment methods (such as pay-by-cell and credit–debit cards at meters), and technology for real-time detection of space occupancy has resulted in better system uptime, proactive maintenance strategies, multiple payment options, real-time information on parking availability, and better use of spaces through dynamic congestion pricing. The new parking assets and payment options have implications for municipalities and vendors supporting their parking programs. Instead of a significant portion of revenue from coins, virtual transactions account for a predominant share of the parking revenue stream. Focusing on Washington, D.C., as a case study, this paper discusses the economic implications of the changes in the context of overall parking revenue and the cost of different revenue streams for parking. The paper also discusses the impact of these changes on program management (such as maintenance, personnel, and contracting models) and program outcomes (such as customer satisfaction and continued innovation). The paper provides agencies with a framework for taking a holistic look at their parking programs and assessing the impacts of various alternative, cost-effective approaches.

The autonomous ability of the system, which enables it to park itself without any human interference, finds its application mostly in automobile industry. Though the basic algorithm of autonomous parking is relatively simple, the question of reliability and accuracy of parking can be quite complicated. The mathematical models developed theoretically and simulated numerically not always can in the same accurate way perform in a real vehicle. One of the main reasons for it is the interplay between the controlling system and mechanical structure of the vehicle. To investigate this problem the car-type robot simulating the specific features of the mechanical structure of the real car was developed. It was used for verification of few parking approaches proposed in the literature. A parking algorithm was proposed and programmed for a developed car-type robot. The experimental comparison between theoretically calculated and actually observed values of main parking parameters was done and analysed. The approach of optimization of parking strategy from the view point of minimization of positioning errors was proposed and tested.

Full textAbstract:
Traffic congestion in parking lots is a common phenomenon across the world and larger commercial facilities with multiple parking areas may be particularly affected as many users struggle to gain access to sought-after parking spots close to their destinations. These popular zones often see traffic jams forming as many vehicles arrive within these regions, while less popular areas may remain free from congestion. This creates a very uneven distribution of traffic, with motorists in popular areas becoming trapped and unable to leave bottleneck regions. As a result, the car park management industry has taken an interest in research into parking guidance. Parking guidance has been developed to help improve efficiencies in car parks, guiding drivers to specific spaces using GPS technology to highlight free spaces near their location detailing the most efficient way to get to that spot. Associate Professor Akira Kawai, who is based at Shiga University in Japan, has been working on a KAKEN project that seeks to leverage real-time positional information to help guide drivers to free spaces within parking lots.

Increased demand for truck parking resulting from hours-of-service regulations and growing truck volumes, coupled with limited supply of parking facilities, is concerning for transportation agencies and industry stakeholders. To monitor truck parking congestion, the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) conducts an annual observational survey of truck parking facilities. As a result of survey methodology, it cannot capture patterns of diurnal and seasonal use, arrival times, and duration. Truck Global Positioning System (GPS) data provide an apt alternative for monitoring parking facility utilization. The issue is that most truck GPS datasets represent a sample of the truck population and the representativeness of that sample may differ by application. Currently no method exists to accurately expand a GPS sample to reflect population-level truck parking facility utilization. This paper leverages the ARDOT study to estimate GPS “expansion factors” by parking facility type and defines two expansion factors: (1) the ratio of trucks parked derived from the GPS sample to those observed during the Overnight Study, and (2) the ratio of truck volume derived from the GPS sample to total truck volume measured on the nearest roadway. Varied expansion factors are found for public, private commercial (e.g., restaurant, retail store, etc.), and private truck stop facilities. Comparatively, the expansion factor based on roadway truck volumes was at least twice as high as that derived from the Overnight Study. Considering this, the method to determine expansion factors has significant implications on the estimated magnitudes of parking facility congestion, and thus will have consequences for investment prioritization.

Full textAbstract:
DC officials enacted a Mobile Roadway Vending lottery in December 2013 that allocated street-metered parking spaces to the 250 food trucks operating throughout the District. Its creation was predicated on the belief among DC administrators that food trucks inject vibrancy into the urban environment and create job opportunities. Across America, though, expert regulators’ and political leaders’ opinions vary on how food trucks should be managed to accommodate the concerns of stakeholders who share limited street parking. By comparing DC’s lottery-rotation system to pure lottery and auction systems, we reveal the difficult-to-attain middle ground sought by officials who are caught between allocating parking through a lottery or through an auction sale that can possibly favor a wealthy minority. We acknowledge the benefits found in the District’s decision to create a policy that allows vendors the flexibility to roam for available street parking in some areas and to compete in a semi-random lottery for guaranteed parking in other areas. We suggest the lottery-rotation system’s major inefficiencies would be largely remedied by a secondary market allowing vendors autonomy to make as-needed parking trades. We conclude by asserting that, while the lottery-rotation system is economically inefficient, it is part of a broader, reasonable first effort that strikes an economic and political equilibrium in a dynamic industry and regulatory landscape.

Since the Republic of Croatia is one of the most popular European and world tourist destinations, the aim of this paper is, from the user’s (n = 596) point of view, to research the importance of stationary traffic in tourist destinations. The purpose of this paper is to point out the possibilities of improving the tourist destination quality and sustainability through an adequate parking service. In order to corroborate constructed scientific hypotheses, a larger number of scientific methods were used from which a polling method, analysis and synthesis method, descriptive statistics method, t-test, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) should be singled out. The major finding of this paper indicates a relatively big importance of stationary traffic (M = 6.51; SD = 2.21) as an element of tourist destination quality. Moreover, regarding the quality of tourist destination, the results of this paper suggest that the parking space availability is more important than the way parking or parking payment are organized. Between the experienced parking problem in a tourist destination and age on one side and evaluation of the importance of stationary traffic as an element of tourist destination quality on the other side, a statistically important connection was established. Gained knowledge can be particularly helpful to hotel industry managers but also to traffic managers whose duty is to provide an adequate number of parking spaces in tourist destinations.

Air transport industry is one the many sectors significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Travel restrictions and bans resulted in reduction in aircraft operation. Airlines have no option than to limit their services by grounding their fleet: as of April 2020, out of 22,000 passenger aircraft around the world, almost 14,400 were grounded [1]. Airport operators are trying to accommodate most of the grounded aircraft by utilizing their main operational space as aprons, taxiways and runways. The limited space at airports often means that aircraft have to be parked in non-standard positions, which may affect the airport daily operations. While planning aircraft parking, safety is the top priority. The effect of long-term load was not considered in the pavement design and could result in increased pavement maintenance requirements. Airport operators must also reflect aircraft maintenance needs in terms of engines, hydraulics, braking system, cabin interior and others.

Full textAbstract:
This research explores the recent practice of connecting on-site car-sharing service with off-street parking standards in multifamily developments; the San Francisco Bay Area, California, is used as a case study. If implemented well, such a policy could help boost the carsharing industry and reduce off-street parking, which is often criticized as being over-supplied as a result of excessive off-street parking standards. In 2011, the authors surveyed all carsharing sites in the Bay Area and all new residential developments (completed after 2000) with on-site carsharing spaces. The results showed that a significant number of carsharing spaces were located on residential properties, but 70% of the spaces had been retrofitted into existing buildings. For the new developments, on-site carsharing did not result in a reduction in the amount of regular off-street parking. Interviews with 15 professionals from three stakeholder groups (planners, developers, and service providers) revealed that even though all the stakeholders were in favor of on-site carsharing at residential developments, three major barriers existed: a lack of incentives, the complexity of access design, and high transaction costs.

As electric vehicles can significantly reduce the direct carbon emissions from petroleum, promoting the development of the electric vehicle market has been a new concentration for the auto industry. However, insufficient public charging infrastructure has become a significant obstacle to the further growth of electric vehicle sales. This paper estimates the impact of the availability of public charging piles on electric vehicle sales using panel regression analysis. It then investigates the barriers to the construction and operation of the public charging piles based on a field survey in 101 communities in Beijing, China. We find that insufficient public charging piles would significantly limit the sales of electric vehicles, in particular when the public charging piles are built up for specific users or in developed regions where private parking spaces are limited. It is found that the top four barriers are limited parking spaces, complicated circuit modification, unclear responsibilities for property management companies, and the objection or high mobility of existing parking space users.

Full textAbstract:
The impact of Automated Vehicles (AVs) on urban geography has been widely speculated, though there is little quantitative evidence in the literature to establish the magnitude of such effects. To quantify the impact of the greater precision of automated driving on the spatial efficiency of off-street parking facilities, we develop a mixed integer nonlinear model (solved via a branch-and-cut approach) and present comparisons against industry-standard requirements for human-driving operation. We demonstrate that gains on the order of 40–50% in spatial efficiency (parking spaces per unit area) are in principle achievable while ensuring that each parked vehicle is independently accessible. We further show that the large majority of these efficiency gains can be obtained under current automotive engineering practice in which only the front two wheels pivot. There is a need for standardized methods that take the parking supply of a city as an input and calculate both the aggregate (citywide) efficiency impacts of automated driving and the spatial distribution of the effects. This study is intended as an initial step towards this objective.

The research method used in this paper is deductive; the analysis is based on data obtained from the incident information service (IIS), a database of transport-related crimes from the Transported Asset Protection Association (TAPA) in the EMEA region. The results are analysed and discussed within a frame of reference based on supply chain risk management (SCRM) and criminology theories. Findings – We found that 97 per cent of all attacks during a stop occur at non-secure parking locations. Cargo thefts at these locations are more of a volume crime than high-value thefts. Seasonal variations were seen in these thefts, and the most common type was an intrusion on weekdays during winter. Research limitations/implications – This study is limited by the content of and the classifications within the TAPA EMEA IIS database. Practical implications – This paper is directly relevant to the current EU discussions regarding the creation of a large number of secure parking facilities in the region. Originality/value – This is one of the first papers in the field of SCRM that utilizes actual crime statistics reported by the industry to analyse the occurrence of cargo theft by focusing on the non-secure parking aspect in the transport chain.

The event industry, in particular arts festivals, is one of South Africas fastest growing tourism sectors in tourism industry. However, only minimal research has been done to identify factors that arts festival visitors view as important for a good festival experience. This study identifies the key success factors (KSFs) in managing visitors experience at one of South Africas most popular Afrikaans arts festival, the Klein Karoo National Arts Festival (KKNK). A questionnaire survey (n=443) and factor analysis was used to identify seven KSFs: Safety and personnel, Marketing and accessibility, Venues, Accommodation and ablution facilities, Activities and community, Parking and restaurants and Shows and stalls. Factors that KKNK visitors regarded as important to satisfy their needs and provide a special festival experience were: a wide variety of good and affordable shows and stall products, friendly informed staff, visible emergency and security services, and sufficient air-conditioned venues with good technical aspects. Parking and restaurants and Shows and stalls can be regarded as KSFs that are particularly applicable to South African arts festivals. The study also indicated that other stakeholders play an important role in visitors experience.

Today, Augmented Reality plays a vital role in the tech industry. This paper is based on Augmented Reality car application and is an important topic in R&D. This application, enables to place and drive virtual cars in the real world. This paper briefly, discuss about introducing Augmented Reality application for “Android”, because not everybody can afford for an iPhone which has tons of AR applications. This is the reason why this optimised AR car application is made only for Android. It enables to place cars in real world with exact dimensions. The tools used to build this application are “UNITY” and “VUFORIA”. So, it gets easier to see whether a car can fit into a particular place or not, we can see how many cars can fit in a particular place and also, we can drive a car virtually to see whether it is possible to park a car in a congested place. It clearly shows that it saves time to park a car when compared to manual work. The result examined that real world interaction of car using Augmented Reality was successfully executed by placing multiple cars and in the mere future, there will be an update to move the car in all possible directions. It will play a major role in AR based research and also will be very useful for car buyers and also for the car companies.

Carsharing is one of the major recent trends in urban mobility in many countries of Asia, Europe and North America. Russia is one of the leading countries in the industry in terms of growth rates and fleet volume in certain market segments. The purpose of this study is to analyze the key features of German carsharing market and policies regarding carsharing and highlight the possibilities of their application in Russia. As a result of the study a number of recommendations for carsharing development in Russia were outlined. According to several studies, stationbased schemes seem to be environmentally more beneficial compared to free-float carsharing. Station-based carsharing stimulation should be considered as a means to facilitate the development of the industry. A new metamobility policy is required, which implies carsharing, public transport, micromobility and private cars all become part of a single multimodal transport system. A transparent regulatory framework is required. New billing and payment methods, combined tariffs and a single mobile application for all means of public transport and carsharing should be considered as viable measures to stimulate the development of carsharing industry and transport system in general. Parking fees for carsharing should be reduced or waived. Leasing subsidies and preferential business conditions should be introduced to support carsharing operators. Additional taxes for personal vehicles as well as fees for parking and entering the city center using private transport should also stimulate carsharing development.

Aviation safety which is also related to security is closely dependent on the pavement at the airport, on the runway, taxiway and in the apron area. In 2017 some damage to the pavement of the runway at Halim Perdana Kusuma airport was a concern to national flight safety. To avoid similar incidents, care is needed in pavement designs in critical areas of the airport, including in the aircraft parking area. This study describes an analysis of the pavement layer used in an aircraft parking area. The pavement layer used was analysed for time of construction and in operation. The surface layer was rigid pavement. The parameters used in the analysis are taken from globally accepted requirements for airports. The study was conducted by analyzing the ability of the pavement system to withstand the aircraft load including while maneuvering and stopping. The results of the study will inform efforts to improve the safety of the aviation industry from the aspect of apron design.

Full textAbstract:
Wireless charging is a promising outlet to promote the electric vehicle (EV) industry due to its safe and noncontact manner. Wireless EV chargers require the secondary receiver coil to be well aligned with the primary station for efficient charging, which could require more of the driver’s time and attention when parking a vehicle. Therefore, this paper presents a magnetic alignment system to assist the EV driver during parking. The magnetic alignment approach uses the existing coil and frequency tracking control electronics of wireless chargers to detect the distance between the two coils while using 4 small auxiliary coils for direction and fine adjustment, leading to a cost effective detection method for coil alignment in electric vehicle wireless charging (EVWC). The testing results of a prototype show acceptable measurement correctness and the mean error for ten trials in range detection is within 0.25 cm at three different misalignment conditions (10.5, 15, and 20 cm). The positioning accuracy of coil alignment is within 1.2 cm for three different start positions with the auxiliary coils.

- In 2008 new car registrations in the European Union with 14.7 million vehicles, marked a decline of 2.1 million units, compared to the previous year. The sharp fall in new vehicle registrations in January ( 40%) confirmed the impact of the economic crisis on the Italian car market, causing a major alert for the potential consequences on this sector's employment. The alarming situation of the car sector has led all EU governments to approve both industry support measures and demand incentives for consumers. The latter, in particular, are motivated by the downward trend in consumer purchase of durable goods, mainly attributed to both income level and increasing uncertainty. In the early weeks of 2009, car firms have temporarily shut down some of their facilities while the parking lots for the storage of new vehicles are full of unsold cars. The present article briefly describes the Italian and global car market, with an eye to the more-or-less induced, technological developments. It also includes a forecast for the coming years and a synthetic picture of the State support measures in some EU countries and in the United States. Finally, it summarizes the main opinions about the recent initiatives.

Motor-cycle industry: Opportunities for market development The South African motor-cycle industry has experienced a constant decline in sales since 1981, that is, a drop from 84 000 units sold during 1981 to a sales figure of 24 509 units for 1985. This decline in sales poses a threat to the profitability and survival of the motor-cycle industry in South Africa. Up to this point in time the marketing efforts of the motor-cycle industry were mainly directed towards the white consumer market. In order to bring about an upturn in motor-cycle sales, this study looked into the feasibility of a marketing effort by the motor-cycle industry aimed at the black consumer market. The findings of the study revealed that blacks currently view motor-cycles as a dangerous means of transport, used mainly by high speeding dare-devils. However, by the compilation of an optimum marketing strategy, the motor-cycle industry should be able to overcome the above-mentioned objection of blacks against motor-cycles. The marketing mix strategy should reveal the following characteristics: (i) A marketing communication strategy which centres on the re-education of blacks, so that they perceive motor-cycles as an economical means of transport, requiring little parking space, instead of as 'heavy metal terrorists' with a horrifying accident record. (ii) A product offered to the black market which reveals its economical characteristics and, as preferred by blacks, is in the commuter class (200 cm3 - 500 cm3). (iii) A price that does not exceed R4000. (iv) The establishment of distribution outlets in white industrial areas with predominantly white sales personnel.

Full textAbstract:
Although existing transit-oriented development manuals are chided for lack of empirical foundation and what is known from the empirical literature about the relationship between land use-urban design and transit ridership is reviewed. More is needed to be known about this relationship. What was done in the first of two studies of transit ridership in Dade County is reported and what was learned of relevance to transit-oriented development is summarized. Bus mode share by place of residence proved primarily dependent on automobile ownership and secondarily on jobs-housing balance and bus service frequency. Automobile ownership, in turn, proved dependent on household income, overall density, and transit access to downtown. Thus, three types of variables—sociodemographic, land use, and transit service—were found to affect bus use through a web of interrelationships. Likewise, bus mode share by place of work proved dependent on the cost of parking, transit access to downtown, and overall density, again through a web of interrelationships. By using equations thus derived, densities required to support different levels of transit service and productivity were computed. It takes 8.4 dwellings per acre to support 25-min headways at the transit operator's minimum productivity level and 19.4 dwellings per acre at the systemwide average productivity. As household incomes, parking costs, or other local conditions vary from the county average, required densities rise or fall accordingly. In any event, densities are likely to be well above the old industry standard of seven units per acre.

Full textAbstract:
Numerous examples of real-time services arise in the service industry that can be modeled as loss systems. These include agent staffing for call centers, provisioning bandwidth for private line services, making rooms available for hotel reservations, and congestion pricing for parking spaces. Given that arriving customers make their decision to join the system based on the current service price, the manager can use price as a mechanism to control the utilization of the system. A major objective for the manager is then to find a pricing policy that maximizes total revenue while meeting the quality of service targets desired by the customers. For systems with growing demand and service capacity, we provide a dynamic pricing algorithm. A key feature of our solution is congestion pricing. We use demand forecasts to anticipate future service congestion and set the present price accordingly.

Abstract This study aimed at supporting processes and techniques for minimization of water consumption in the production of concrete. For this purpose, the use of treated wastewater from a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in interlocking concrete paver block (ICPB) production was evaluated. The treated wastewater was added in various dosages (0%, 50%, 75% and 100%) to the water used to produce cylindrical concrete samples. These samples were evaluated for compressive strength and water absorption tests. After these evaluations, the dosage of 100% treated wastewater for concrete production was established and ICPB were produced with this water composition. Subsequently, an area in a parking lot was replaced by ICPB produced with treated wastewater, and an equal area was replaced by ICPB produced with potable water. A comparison between parameters obtained for cylindrical samples and ICPB samples prepared with treated wastewater and those prepared with potable water indicated that wastewater reuse would be a good alternative for potable water consumption reduction in the concrete industry.

An industry partnership involving state and local highway officials; ready mix concrete producers; and fiber, admixture, and cement suppliers paved the way for extensive testing of a new concrete technology in Tennessee. Known as ultra-thin whitetopping (UTW), this experimental repair procedure involves placing a layer 50 to 75 mm (2 to 3 in.) thick of high-strength concrete over milled asphalt. Crucial to a long life for the thin concrete is a high synthetic fiber content, normally 1.4 kg/m3 (3 lbs/yd3) with joints spaced at a minimum of 0.92 to 1.22 m (3 to 4 ft) on center. From 1992 to 1995, seven cities in Tennessee participated in UTW demonstrations. The field tests were so successful that synthetic fiber-reinforced UTW is now being bid on many state and local projects. Presently, the primary use of UTW is to rehabilitate high average daily traffic intersections. Other potential uses include overlays of residential streets, parking lots, and airport aprons.

Abstract The environment of a city is influenced by global and local climate changes, pollution load from transport, industry and local heat sources. Green spaces as part of the urban green infrastructure fulfil multiple ecosystem services and improve the environmental and residential quality of a city. The level of positive effects of green spaces depends on their area, distribution within the city and the proportion of trees. The aim of the paper was to evaluate land cover structure in a selected segment of the housing estate Klokočina in Nitra, Slovakia. The evaluation focused on the share of biologically active and inactive surfaces, as well as the parameters of woody plant structure in green spaces. Green areas account for 58.70%, while built-up areas, parking lots and roads cover in total 41.30%. Biologically inactive anthropogenic horizontal and of building envelope areas represent 67.30%. Biologically active green areas represent 32.70%. The share of areas with tree crown overlap on horizontal areas is 20.82%, other areas are paved surfaces or grassland. We calculated the indices of the quality of green spaces from the individual categories of areas: proportional green area index (PGAI), effective green area index (EGAI) and tree shade index (TSI). The tree species composition consists of 36 deciduous and 11 coniferous tree species, and 20 shrub species. We evaluated the biometric traits of trees as the tree height, crown width, stem girth and tree vitality class (TVC). The correlations between tree traits were statistically tested with a significant result. In the group of biologically active areas of greenery, we propose to increase the proportion of trees, to establish more natural lawns and xerophyte flower beds. In the category of inactive areas, we propose the reconstruction of parking lots to grass paved surfaces.

Full textAbstract:
Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport was the second European airport in terms of traffic in 2019, having transported 76.2 million passengers. Its large infrastructures include four runways, a large taxiway network, and 298 aircraft parking stands (131 contact) among three terminals. With the current pandemic in place, the European air traffic network has declined by −65% flights when compared with 2019 traffic (pre-COVID-19), having a severe negative impact on the aviation industry. More and more often taxiways and runways are used as parking spaces for aircraft as consequence of the drastic decrease in air traffic. Furthermore, due to safety reasons, passenger terminals at many airports have been partially closed. In this work we want to study the effect of the reduction in the physical facilities at airports on airspace and airport capacity, especially in the Terminal Manoeuvring Area (TMA) airspace, and in the airport ground side. We have developed a methodology that considers rare events such as the current pandemic, and evaluates reduced access to airport facilities, considers air traffic management restrictions and evaluates the capacity of airport ground side and airspace. We built scenarios based on real public information on the current use of the airport facilities of Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport and conducted different experiments based on current and hypothetical traffic recovery scenarios. An already known optimization metaheuristic was implemented for optimizing the traffic with the aim of avoiding airspace conflicts and avoiding capacity overloads on the ground side. The results show that the main bottleneck of the system is the terminal capacity, as it starts to become congested even at low traffic (35% of 2019 traffic). When the traffic starts to increase, a ground delay strategy is effective for mitigating airspace conflicts; however, it reveals the need for additional runways.

With 4Ps and purchasing decision as independent variables, personality traits as confounding variables, re-purchase intention as dependent Variable, this study is to learn about the major concerns for customers while purchasing motorcycles.</p><p>The findings of this study are as follows. Firstly, 138 samples are divided into three groups through Cluster analysis. Weaker try-out-new-things personality traits accounted for 15.22%, neutral try-out-new-things personality traits accounted 31.88% and stronger try-out-new-things personality traits accounted for 52.90%.</p><p>Secondly, two main factors to influence purchasing decision for weaker try-out-new-things personality traits are revealed. One is the preference for cleanliness of the sales environment on “place” aspect. The other is acting in information for purchasing; the recommendation of friends and relatives is more accepted.</p><p>Thirdly, one major factor to influence purchasing decision for neutral try-out-new-things personality traits is that customers of this type expect up-to-date electronic locks can be bundled in for promotion, and it will rise their purchasing intention.</p>Lastly, as for stronger try-out-new-things personality traits, there are more factors that affect purchasing decisions, including comparing the prices of different brands and making comparison by Internet search on “promotion” aspect, tending to go to hypermarket for one-stand-shopping and expecting a service personnel with higher quality on “place” aspect, hoping vendors providing micro-film as main reference for selecting the product on “information for purchasing” aspect.

Practitioners of transportation demand management consider pricing a crucial determinant of vanpool market demand. Publicly sponsored programs stress the significance of fare pricing and subsidies as key tools for increasing ridership. This paper considers the use of discrete choice modeling techniques to investigate the effects of fares and fare subsidies on the demand for vanpool services. With the use of employer and employee data from the 1999 survey of the commute trip reduction program of the Puget Sound region (Washington), a conditional discrete choice model is built to analyze the choice of vanpool services, with competing means of transportation as a function of various socioeconomic characteristics. The predicted value of the direct elasticity is -0.73; a 10% increase in vanpool price is associated with a 7.3% decrease in its demand and vanpool demand is relatively inelastic with respect to fare changes. For trips shorter than 30 mi, the individual elasticities are equivalent to the aggregate estimate. As the distance from home to work increases beyond 60 mi, individuals are less responsive to price changes. Subsidies have a relevant impact in increasing ridesharing, controlling for firm size and industry sector. Whenever employees are offered a subsidy, the predicted probability of choosing vanpool more than doubles. These results show that factors other than fare pricing, such as employee profile, industry sector, firm size, parking policies, and travel patterns, must be taken into account when policies or designing fare schedules geared at stimulating ridership are implemented.

Connected and fully automated or autonomous vehicles (CAVs) may soon dominate the automotive industry. Once CAVs are sufficiently reliable and affordable, they will penetrate markets and thereby generate economic ripple effects throughout industries. This paper synthesizes and expands on existing analyses of the economic effects of CAVs in the United States across 13 industries and the overall economy. CAVs will soon be central to the automotive industry, with software composing a greater share of vehicle value than previously. The number of vehicles purchased each year may fall because of vehicle sharing, but rising travel distances may increase vehicle sales. The opportunity for heavy-truck drivers to do other work or rest during long drives may lower freight costs and increase capacity. Personal transport may shift toward shared autonomous vehicle fleet use, reducing that of taxis, buses, and other forms of group travel. Fewer collisions and more law-abiding vehicles will lower demand for auto repair, traffic police, medical, insurance, and legal services. CAVs will also lead to new methods for managing travel demand and the repurposing of curbside and off-street parking and will generate major savings from productivity gains during hands-free travel and reduction of pain and suffering costs from crashes. If CAVs eventually capture a large share of the automotive market, they are estimated to have economic impacts of $1.2 trillion or $3,800 per American per year. This paper presents important considerations for CAVs’ overall effects and quantifies those impacts.

Purpose This paper aims to examine how customer heterogeneity influences absolute price thresholds in a service industry. Design/methodology/approach Customer purchase behavior is studied in the context of a firm’s and competitor’s price changes. Customer purchase behavior is further examined in the context of specific customer attributes such as loyalty, motivation, online purchase channel, gender and frequency of purchase. The study uses a longitudinal data set spanning over 44 months and tracks over 13,000 of a firm’s customers, totaling over 200,000 transactions from a parking services provider. Findings Results show that absolute price thresholds affect purchasing decisions. Customers are willing to pay a range of prices for a considered purchase, and when a price is within customers’ acceptable price range, it does not induce a change in their purchase behavior. However, specific identifiable customer attributes influence the propensity to continue buying and influence the acceptable price range. Practical implications Knowledge from this study can be applied to developing a deeper understanding of customers and their price thresholds to improve customer retention and firm performance after a price change. Originality/value For a better understanding of the consumer choice process, it is essential to understand what factors affect price thresholds. Additionally, very few studies are using transaction-level data to empirically validate concepts from behavioral price research in the service industry, and none that do it at an individual customer level over three years.
