The Affordable Parking System

As children and next generations grow up faster and faster, the population increase and also do the vehicles. The vehicle is an important method that helps people today transport from place to place. Cars increase dramatically as young students and teenagers begin to learn how to drive. However, the packing space in the neighborhood are still limited that people don’t have enough spaces to park their cars. The parking problem in the neighborhood is one of the most common problems in today. People is facing parking problems in their neighborhood; however, the city can overcome the problem by create more parking space and encourage people to expand their garage.

On Wednesday, March 23, 2017, I, Officer B. McMillon, #135, of the Mansfield ISD Police Department while assigned to Legacy High School located at 1263 N. Main in Mansfield, Texas 76063. At Approximately 8:30 am LHS Teacher Hodges, told me that a white truck drive’s around the west student parking lot after school.

Although some progress has been made, the solutions Florida International University has implemented have not been successful in helping the parking problem.” The reason I choose this to be my thesis is because Florida International University has implemented programs, such as the carpool programs or mass transit services, but they are not effectively advertised or executed to the point where students feel motivated enough to want to participate in the services. Another of the services that I plan to talk about is the parking space locator. The parking space locator is beneficial, but it can be improved, for example, it only says how much space is taken up in a parking garage, given in percentages, but it does not show on which floors the free spots are located. Clemson has a similar system with the exact location though, “…students can grab their smartphones before they hop in their cars, home in on precious empty spots, and drive straight to the destination. That’s a far cry from the experience of circling blocks and lots for half an hour in search of a spot (Fliegler).” I feel that with that little bit of information could make the service much more

As of 2013 there are about 2,500 parking spots currently available at the UCMerced parking lot; with the continued growth of students in the school, we need to be able to make sure supply meets demand with the parking spaces. UCMerced's student population is rapidly growing from 13.5 % from Fall of 2015 to 2016 (UCMerced). Due to the high demand the school needs to be able meet the necessary requirements for all these students; one of the biggest problems the school faces is that they aren’t able to meet the student’s transportation needs (The Merced Sun-Star). The lack of spaces causes students and staff to waste time looking for parking causing them to waste time. I plan on making a design on a mobile app to be able to solve this problem.

Cuebed wrote an article on July 21, 2017 about how free parking and parking minimums make living on big cities much more expensive. The article showed how it is a waste of space to have so much parking and there are more effective and faster ways to move around without a car. The article also showed an example of this with mexico city and how they cut down on parking spaces.

Nobody enjoys receiving a parking ticket; it can ruin a person's day, especially if it is an expensive ticket. However, the public tends to ignore the pivotal role parking enforcement plays in a city. Parking enforcement ensures a steady flow of traffic and creates a fair and safe city infrastructure. Otherwise, without anyone to implement laws, chaos would ensue. For example, people might double-park, which may block other people in and prohibit them from leaving. Individuals would park in the middle of streets, block sidewalks, and perhaps take up handicap spots without having a disability. People with an actual disability could be forced to park a long distance away from an entrance, placing them in potential danger. Enforced parking laws also prevent people from parking at a metered spot for extended amounts of time, even days. Businesses especially depend on parking rules; otherwise, anyone could take up valuable spots in front of the store, inconveniencing actual costumers and forcing them to park far away. Streets would collect garbage and filth because of parked cars blocking street cleaners from completing their hygienic tasks.

The University of North Texas is one of the largest universities in Texas. The university has around 35,000 students that commute or live on campus. As the result of this, the university doesn’t have enough parking spots for students and staff member due new construction of buildings for classes and Greek Life. This causes students and staff members to wander around through different parking lots to find a parking spots. There have been some cases were students looked for parking spot for 30 minute to 1 hour. This causes students to be late to classes and their jobs. At the University of North Texas, parking spot after 8:40 AM parking spot is hard to find. This means that people’s that have 11:00 AM class and commute, they have to leave their

On May 10, 2016, at approximately 0951 hours, police dispatch aired over the police channel that a female was being assaulted in the basement level of the Henderson Parking Garage (H-Lot), and the victim/caller was calling from a Blue Phone, later identified to be located at the northeast section of the H-Lot.

Mission Control would like to ask about a vehicle that was flagged violating our "Overnight Parking" here in the Sunnyvale Campus. This vehicle is currently parked inside the parking structure on the 1st floor.

When students are trying to get to class on time or even slightly early and the parking lot is full, this becomes increasingly more difficult to find a spot. To discover and verify the problems with Crounse’s parking lot, we gathered data from not only the parking lot itself, but the student and faculty body as well. From here we analyzed the data collected and developed viable solutions to the issues at Crounse Hall’s parking area.

As students we pay for many fees and parking should not be one of them. Here at Oregon State University many students and professors ride their bikes around campus, but there are also many students who drive their cars around campus. Some students have the privilege to have their car here, but for some students it is a necessity because they may live far from campus or because it is their ride back home. For parking passes we have to pay a fee that varies from $95 to $495 for an annual permit. This is the fee we have to pay just to park on campus and not have to park of campus. With how high our tuition is you would expect something like parking would be included. It should not even be included in our tuition, I believe

Why do students and their parents pay such a large amount of money to attend the University of Dayton if there is not going to be any place for parking? I am a first year student at the university so I understand that I am not permitted to have my car on campus (Handbook). My boyfriend on the other hand, lives at least a half hour away and comes to visit me several times a week. He arrives and has to drive for a very long time trying to find a place to park where he will not receive a ticket. He has tried to park everywhere we can think of, but it never seems to work out. The first few times he came over public safety/the police department was willing to give out temporary permits for visitors and

This system concentrates more on optimizing and improving the payment methods for a parking system. It uses the technology of smart cards, mobile communications, and also RFIDs. The objective of this system is to save more time and make it more convenient when users make their payment. There are a few problems with the current parking traditional payment such as the coin operated meter. Coin operator equipments are expensive and it needs frequent maintenance as it is always visible for vandalism. It is also costly as it needs human resource for collecting and enforcing payment [1].
