OCURO: Estimation of space occupation and vehicle rotation in controlled parking areas

Abstract

Parking behavior is an interesting field of study. Councils are concerned about encouraging a responsible use of the parking space, which, due to our habits in modern life, is more and more solicited. Companies with exploitation rights always seek how to get more profit from the parking lots that they control. Our system is designed to accomplish two goals: measuring parking behavior in terms of parking space occupation and vehicle rotation in specific areas of parking, and estimating possible incomes from the exploitation of a parking lot. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
