With the ever-increasing number of vehicles and technological advancements, transportation-related social problems are addressed with more systematic and smarter solutions, as a part of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) services. Parking management is an ITS application area, where limited parking capacities can be efficiently and fairly utilized by more road users. However, detection of the true nature of parking demand and supply limits as well as the expected response to any policies and technology tools to be employed, is necessary prerequisite step. Middle East Technical University (METU) campus is a built environment that suffers from parking-related problems due to limited parking supply capacity despite the increase in the demand. Thus, parking violations have been increasing lately due to high number of cars in the campus. Besides the negative environmental impacts, parking violations have started to threaten the flow and safety of the campus traffic due to traffic congestion and loss of road network capacity at critic locations. This thesis focuses on estimation of the type and level of parking utilization and violations in METU Campus, so that smart parking management strategies can be recommended for development of a more sustainable campus transportation policies. Smart parking management requires an understanding of land use, parking supply and demand, driver needs, behaviors, and perception of the commuters, in the scope of parking management. Thus , within the study, parking space inventory, parking survey were conducted and a smart campus transportation survey was utilized. After this comprehensive evaluation, a campus-wide parking management strategy plan that promote smart mobility within the campus was proposed within the campus, in 7 stages . In addition, a regional strategy plan, including the locations, and application of the proposed parking pricing strategy, and the areas where parking should be prohibited, has been created.

Smart parking in IoT-enabled cities: A survey Al-Turjman, Fadi; Malekloo, Arman (2019-08-01) The rapid growth in population has led to substantial traffic bottlenecks in recent transportation systems. This not only causes significant air pollution, and waste in time and energy, but also signifies the issue of the auto-park scarcity. In the age of Internet of Things (IoT) and smart city ecosystems, smart parking and relevant innovative solutions are necessary towards more sustainable future cities. Smart parking with the help of sensors embedded in cars and city infrastructures can alleviate the dea...
Aerothermodynamic Design Optimization of Hypersonic Vehicles Eyi, Sinan; Boyd, Iain D. (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2019-04-01) The objective of this study is to develop a reliable and efficient design optimization method for hypersonic vehicles focused on aerothermodynamic environments. Considering the nature of hypersonic flight, a high-fidelity aerothermodynamic analysis code is used for the simulation of weakly ionized hypersonic flows in thermochemical nonequilibrium. A gradient-based method is implemented for optimization. Bezier or nonuniform rational basis spline curves are used to parametrize the geometry or the geometry ch...
Application of the ‘smart’ to the city a critical evaluation: The case of Turkey Bayramoğlu Barman, Gülnar; Babalık, Ela; Department of City and Regional Planning (2020-9) For decades cities have brought various concepts in order to create self-sustaining natural urban environments for future generations. Rapidly developing technologies have always been involved in this process and evolved together. Today, the world is experiencing the information age with the development of the Internet network, which allows instant data collection and quick dissemination of information. Parallel to this trend, cities have embraced latest technological developments and brought a relatively n...
Blockchain Technology in Smart City: A New Opportunity for Smart Environment and Smart Mobility Orecchini, F.; Santiangeli, A.; Zuccari, F.; Pieroni, Alessandra; Suppa, Tiziano (2019-01-01) The main and challenging evolutionary process that leads towards the so-called Smarter City is still represented by the optimization of the Intelligent Systems for the Quality of Life (QoL) and the Quality of Services (QoS), and by the integration of heterogeneous IT services and different networks. The scientific interest in this field consists of promoting innovative solutions by use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) able to collect, analyse and obtain value added from a large amount of da...
