Dynamic Pricing for Resilient Parking Management
摘要
The increasing demand for efficient and resilient transportation systems in the face of climate change necessitates innovative solutions for parking management. Dynamic pricing, also known as demand-based pricing, is a pricing strategy that adjusts prices in real-time based on demand and supply. This approach has been widely adopted in various industries, including airlines, hotels, and ride-sharing services. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in applying dynamic pricing to parking management. This paper proposes a dynamic pricing algorithm for private parking lots that utilizes real-time data on parking occupancy and traffic conditions within a 500-m radius to optimize parking revenue, minimize congestion, and encourage alternative transportation modes. The algorithm employs a dynamic pricing mechanism that adjusts parking rates in real-time based on occupancy data. This approach ensures optimal utilization of parking spaces, minimizing congestion and maximizing revenue generation. Additionally, the algorithm considers traffic conditions in the immediate vicinity, enabling a responsive and adaptable pricing strategy that aligns with the broader objectives of sustainable urban transportation. By aligning parking pricing with dynamic demand factors, this algorithm contributes to a more efficient, resilient, and environmentally responsible urban transportation system.
