dc.description.abstract | Parking is increasingly an issue in the world today especially in large and growing cities with
contemporary urban mobility. The effort spent in searching for available parking spots results in
significant loss of resources such as time, and fuel, as well as environmental pollution. Parking
Availability can be influenced by many factors such as time of day, day of week, location, nearby
events, weather and traffic conditions. Driven by the idea of predicting parking availability to help
drivers plan ahead of time, we contribute a Parking Availability Forecasting Model, which uses a
time series analysis and machine-learning algorithms to predict the number of available parking
spots at a certain location on a desired date and time. The forecasting model is trained on
historical parking data from the cities of Kansas City, US and Melbourne, Australia. This paper
also compares the accuracy of different time-series forecasting models, and how each of them
fits our use-case scenario. Multivariate data analysis together with temperature and weather
summary are used to cross-validate our forecasting model. | eng |
