Abstract

Parking occupancy in a delineated area is defined by three major parameters – the rate of car arrivals, the dwell time of already parked cars, and the willingness of drivers to continue their search for a vacant parking spot. We investigate a series of theoretical and numeric models, both deterministic and stochastic, that describe parking dynamics in an area as dependent on these parameters, over the entire spectrum of the demand-to-supply ratio, focusing on the case when the demand is close to or above the supply.
