Abstract

Connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs), which can self-relocate, seem to be able to alleviate the shortage of parking supplies at the trip destinations. However, in the mixed phase, before CAVs fully replace human-driven vehicles (HDVs), social managers still need to consider the imbalance between supply and demand for parking of HDVs. To allocate parking resources more efficiently, this paper proposes a parking dispatch system, which dynamically dispatches CAVs among different parking lots to change the distribution of parking demand. An agent-based modelling approach is presented with the consideration of CAVs mixed with HDVs. Using trip data from Hangzhou, we evaluate the effects of the parking dispatch system under different CAV penetration and parking supply. The results show that the dispatch system is effective in improving the parking experience for HDVs and can reduce operating cost for the whole society. The proposed dispatch-based strategy will help to enrich the theory and methodology of parking management for the mixed era.
