Research on Strategies to Address Urban Parking Issues in China

In the process of urbanization in China, the scarcity of land resources has led to an increasingly prominent contradiction between the growth of automobile stocks and parking space availability. The escalating number of private vehicles has become a significant contributor to traffic congestion. This paper aims to delve into the issue of urban parking difficulties and explore associated management strategies. Firstly, through a literature analysis approach, a comprehensive examination of domestic and international parking problems is conducted, revealing a severe situation in China that necessitates the formulation of pertinent strategies. Secondly, case studies on different regions are undertaken from the perspectives of current parking situations and management countermeasures, providing valuable insights and references for addressing China's parking challenges. In response to urban parking difficulties, this paper proposes two strategies: first, "source expansion" by increasing the supply of parking spaces, and second, "streamlining" by restricting private vehicle access. To address parking challenges, strategies such as constructing landscape eco-parking lots, intelligent multi-level garages, developing smart parking systems, and implementing tidal parking are suggested. Additionally, shared parking is considered an effective method to reduce the number of privately owned vehicles in urban areas. Furthermore, resolving urban parking issues should prioritize social benefits, advocate environmentally friendly transportation, and encourage more residents to enjoy higher-quality urban travel experiences.

SIMULATION OF GROUNDWATER POLLUTION IN A FACTORY BASED ON VISUAL MODFLOW

The groundwater pollution situation of an industrial park in Mengzhou City, Henan province was simulated to provide reference for groundwater pollution migration and prevention. Through various experiments and hydrogeological surveys to obtain basic parameters for simulation work, this paper uses Visual Modflow software to establish groundwater numerical model in the study area, and on this basis, MT3DMS module is used to simulate solute transport of leaked pollutants COD and NH3-N. In this paper, solute transport is simulated under two working conditions: under abnormal working conditions, the influence range and maximum transport distance of pollutants in sewage transport pipeline leakage without seepage prevention measures; Sewage transport pipeline leakage but seepage prevention measures in the case of pollutant diffusion.

A Smart Real-Time Parking Control and Monitoring System.

Smart parking is an artificial intelligence-based solution to solve the challenges of inefficient utilization of parking slots, wasting time, congestion producing high CO2 emission levels, inflexible payment methods, and protecting parked vehicles from theft and vandalism. Nothing is worse than parking congestion caused by drivers looking for open spaces. This is common in large parking lots, underground garages, and multi-story car parks, where visibility is limited and signage can be confusing or difficult to read, so drivers have no idea where available parking spaces are. In this paper, a smart real-time parking management system has been introduced. The developed system can deal with the aforementioned challenges by providing dynamic allocation for parking slots while taking into consideration the overall parking situation, providing a mechanism for booking a specific parking slot by using our Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based application, and providing a mechanism to ensure that the car is parked in its correct place. For the sake of providing cost flexibility, we have provided two technical solutions with cost varying. The first solution is developed based on a motion sensor and the second solution is based on a range-finder sensor. A plate detection and recognition system has been used to detect the vehicle's license plate by capturing the image using an IoT device. The system will recognize the extracted English alphabet and Hindu-Arabic Numerals. The proposed solution was built and field-tested to prove the applicability of the proposed smart parking solution. We have measured and analyzed keen data such as vehicle plate detection accuracy, vehicle plate recognition accuracy, transmission delay time, and processing delay time.

Urban park planning and design strategies based on sponge city concept

In recent years, people have increasingly attached importance to the application of sponge city theory in urban planning, but often overlooked the urban water regulation role played by urban parks. This paper analyzes the connotation and relationship between sponge cities and urban parks, lists the planning principles of urban parks, and proposes design strategies for sponge urban parks. In the planning and design process of sponge urban parks, rainwater management can be optimized by facilities, vegetation planting methods can be improved, and these can be combined with the current situation of urban parks to build a strong organizational and efficient green rainwater management system. This system not only ensures the viewing effect of the garden, but also effectively recycles and utilizes natural rainwater to form a complete sponge network, effectively promoting the construction of sustainable sponge urban parks.

Parking behaviour under the influence of alcohol

Real-life driving studies evaluating the impact of alcohol influence on the ability to park a car are rare but necessary to assess a possible impairment to drive a car in the event of prosecution. In this study, 29 test persons (13 m, 16 f) completed three test drives with real cars, each made up of three different parking situations. While four test persons remained sober, the majority drank a previously calculated amount of alcohol before the second drive; the aim was to reach a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 1.1 g/kg. The third drive took place about 2 h later without any further ingestion of alcohol. The impact of BAC on the number of accidents, time needed to finish the drive, the amount of correction moves and quality of the final parking position (in the centre of the parking space) were analysed. Furthermore, pressure measuring films were applied to the test cars, measuring the average pressure and load in the areas of the accident impact. A significant increase of accidents could be noted with rising BAC. While a single accident happened to both sober and drivers under the influence of alcohol, more than one accident was only seen in drivers after the ingestion of alcohol (> 0.63 g/kg). The BAC had no impact on the other considered aspects. Concludingly, more than one impact site or accident while parking a car can serve as an indication for alcohol impairment of the driver at the time of the accident.

Relieve Fatigue by Socializing in Sidoarjo City Park

City parks are one of the green open public spaces. The development of city parks gives meaning to the community because city people who are busy working very rarely interact. The existence of a city park as a public space provides movement for the community to be able to interact with other individuals. In Sidoarjo, there is a City Park called Abhirama Park. The Park is strategically located with easy access. This research aims to analyze the development of city parks as a space for interaction in the Sidoarjo community. The research results are regarding the situation of the Sidoarjo city park, as for the views of the people of Sidoarjo regarding the existence of parks and the various functions of city parks. The method used is qualitative, with data collection through interviews, observation, and documentation. This study uses the theory of Herbert Mead regarding symbolic interaction.

Parking enforcement - support for parking management

Parking management is used to balance the supply and demand for parking. Furthermore, it is used to limit the traffic demand and enable the efficient functioning of the traffic network. However, street parking regulations are uneasy to enforce. In almost all cities in Serbia, parking on the street does not work in the desired way. Many drivers park on prohibited places. Those who park on regular places where one of the restrictive regimes applies, often do so without paying and/or exceeding the prescribed time limit. Poor functioning of the enforcement system was recognized as one of the main causes for the poor parking condition. Parking enforcement represents a reaction to non-compliance with the prescribed parking regimes. For adequate reaction, it is necessary to understand the causes and patterns of such drivers behavior. Therefore, we need to investigate the connection between non-compliance with the parking regime and the control and sanctioning of violations. The analysis of the parking situation in three cities in Serbia assessed the extent and consequences of non-compliance with the parking regime on street parking places. In addition, it determined the causes of insufficient efficiency of the system for controlling and sanctioning parking violations. We proposed possible directions and measures for mitigating these problems. As argument, we pointed out positive experiences and effects from cities in Europe and the world that implemented those measures.

Lateral Vehicle Trajectory Planning Using a Model Predictive Control Scheme for an Automated Perpendicular Parking System

This article proposes a lateral vehicle trajectory planning and control algorithm using a model predictive control (MPC) scheme for an automated perpendicular parking system. Previous work showed that approximated clothoid-based local path planning using a virtual towing distance provides low computational time and the stability of lateral vehicle motion in a parking system. However, this approach cannot function in certain parking situations and may cause undesirable steering maneuvers due to state-dependent planning. We present a new approximated clothoid path based on lateral vehicle kinematics to cope with these problems. Using the proposed kinematic model, we formulate an MPC problem for path planning. Then, the proposed lateral vehicle trajectory planning becomes an MPC problem under constraints. Besides, we show that lateral vehicle motion for vertical parking can be implemented using simple kinematic lateral motion control. Experimental results show that the vehicle with the proposed method moves smoothly and completes the given parking mission under constraints, even under tight parking space conditions.

Governance of hutong parking problems in Beijing: Analysis from a perspective of policy tools

When managing the parking issue in Beijing’s Old City, finding a fair balance between space planning and parking demand is the most difficult challenge. Numerous policy studies on parking in Beijing’s hutongs have been conducted, with a massive number of studies aiming to develop parking devices utilizing new technologies and methods, proposing parking plans from a holistic perspective, etc. However, there is currently a scarcity of research focusing on a mix of policy tools. This paper investigates the challenging parking situation in Beijing’s hutongs, drawing on the classification proposed by Hood. Specifically, we collected 54 relevant articles from the official websites of Dongcheng and Xicheng Districts. Furthermore, we carefully read the document, extracted the keywords that indicate the four types of instruments, and classified all the policy texts into four categories based on Hood’s classification. Next, we correspond these keywords to the policy documents. Finally, we categorized the policy documents according to keywords hits in titles and counted the articles in each category in two urban areas. In conjunction with the above, this paper tries to determine which combination of policy tools can successfully improve the hutong parking problem during the implementation phase.

Investigating the Usage Patterns of Park Visitors and Their Driving Factors to Improve Urban Community Parks in China: Taking Jinan City as an Example

Urban community parks have significant benefits for city residents, both physical and spiritual. This is especially true in developing countries, such as China. The purpose of our study is to describe the current situation of the community parks in five main districts of Jinan City while recognizing features of the community parks that influence usage patterns. Our study also means to determine the desired improvements of visitors that promote access to and use of community parks on the basis of the Chinese context. We conducted a survey among 542 community park visitors and obtained valid responses. The findings of respondents show that community parks are mostly used by people over 55 years (34.7%) and children under 10 years (23.6%). The main motives for using community parks are for exercise (24.2%) and to socialize with others (21.6%). The majority of respondents (65.7%) rated the community park as satisfactory and considered only a few improvements needed. Regarding the desired improvements, numerous respondents mentioned adding more physical training facilities (13.3%) and activity areas (7.6%), as well as emergency call buttons in areas frequented by children and older people (7.6%). Furthermore, most of the respondents (79.9%) indicated that they would like to use the community parks more frequently if there is additional progress to make the parks more attractive, cleaner, and friendlier. These results can help park designers, government agencies, and community groups to provide the planning and design strategies for community parks to promote their upgrading in China.

Study on Internal Traffic Organization Modes for Underground Parking Systems in the Urban Central Business District

As a result of urban land shortage and saturation, the development and construction of underground parking have become an inevitable trend of current social development. This paper describes both the concept and construction necessity of underground parking system by analyzing the current status of the parking situation in urban central business district (CBD). According to several case studies for the building of underground parking system around the world, four different layouts such as ridge-like, ring, radial, and network for underground parking systems are proposed. The internal channel of an underground parking system consists of primary and secondary channels and the internal channel setting of the underground parking system is directly related to the organization of the internal traffic flow. The setting of underground vehicle lanes and underground parking units in the system is considered to determine the internal traffic organization of four layout modes of an underground parking system. The findings of this research provide both theoretical and technical support for the planning and design of underground parking system.

Deep-Learning-Based Parking Area and Collision Risk Area Detection Using AVM in Autonomous Parking Situation

In this paper, I propose a bird eye view image detection method for parking areas and collision risk areas at the same time in parking situations. Deep learning algorithms using area detection and semantic segmentation were used. The main architecture of the method described in this paper is based on a harmonic densely connected network and a cross-stage partial network. The dataset used for training was calibrated to four 190° wide-angle cameras to generate around view monitor (AVM) images based on the Chungbuk National University parking lot, and an experiment was performed based on this dataset. In the experimental results, the available parking area was visualized by detecting the parking line, parking area, and available driving area in the AVM images. Furthermore, the undetected area in the semantic segmentation as a collision risk area was visualized in order to obtain the results. According to the proposed attention CSPHarDNet model, the experimental results were 81.89% mIoU and 18.36 FPS in a NVIDIA Xavier environment. The results of this experiment demonstrated that algorithms can be used in real time in a parking situation and have better performance results compared to the conventional HarDNet.

Research on automatic parking path optimization based on Ackerman model

In modern society, cars have been widely used. Every driver will face the problem of reversing. Experienced drivers can park the car to the designated position quickly and accurately. However, most drivers, especially some novices who have just obtained their driver's license, are very worried about the problem of parking. It is often difficult to meet both accuracy and speed. At this time, the automatic parking system appeared in front of the public. As one of the representative systems in the era of vehicle intelligence, the automatic parking system has become the main way for major automobile companies to show their strength in vehicle intelligence; In today's increasingly scarce parking spaces and shrinking parking space, automatic parking system has gradually become a "standard accessory" of vehicles and one of the main reference items for consumers to buy cars. Based on theory and practice, this paper analyzes the possible situations of automatic parking and solves the following problems to improve the automatic parking system. The acceleration model is solved by differential method. The unmanned vehicle travels along a straight line for 1.381m and reaches the maximum limit speed of 20km / h. When unmanned vehicle turns, it is necessary to establish the model of minimum curvature path and minimum path length to express the relationship between them. The initial position of the unmanned vehicle is at the intersection of the parking lot. Three parking situations will be considered, namely vertical parking space, parallel parking space and inclined parking space. A visual trajectory graph will be established to indicate the speed, path, acceleration and other parameters of each point, which vividly shows that the parking can be completed safely and quickly without conflict and collision.
