Abstract

Interactive ambient systems offer a great potential for attracting user attention, raising awareness and supporting the acquisition of more desirable behaviors in the shared use of limited resources, like physical or digital spaces, energy, water and so on. In this paper we describe the iterative design of BeeParking, an ambient display and automatic notification system aimed to induce more cooperative use of a parking facility within a work environment. We also report main findings from a longitudinal in-situ evaluation showing how the system was adopted and how it affected users' parking behavior over time.
