Abstract

The intelligent parking service is a part of ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) in which parking facilities are conceived of in terms of various new functions they can provide. This service would not simply manage the internal operation of a parking facility. Rather, it should be designed to be compatible with a wide range of aspects that are intertwined with parking facilities. One of the features of the system developed in NTT is a parking reservation service that allows drivers to reserve a parking spot through the Internet when parking space is available. The system enables motorists to find available parking spaces at their destinations easily and quickly by using the Internet. When used together with a smart card, the system can provide the motorists with recognition and payment services. This paper depicts the service concept of intelligent parking reservation systems and the overview of the prototype developed in NTT.
