Evaluating the Effect of Smart Parking Technology on Campus Parking System Efficiency using Discrete Event Simulation
… was conducted to investigate the effect of smart parking systems (SPS) on parking search times (PST) in large parking lots. SPSs are systems that disseminate real-time parking spot availability to drivers searching for parking. The literature review revealed discrete event simulation (DES) to be a …
