Abstract: To alleviate this congestion and improve the environment quality in urban centre, the project is introduced Parking Guidance System (PGS) to sense curb-street parking using a drive-by sensing. To quantify the system’s benefits, the project has examined the effect for the deployment of this system on network mobility, i.e. travel time and delays, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emitted from vehicles through a design and a development of simulation model replicating one central business district area. The findings demonstrate that PGS has the potential to improve mobility and reduce vehicular emissions at any level of market saturation whether or not near-real-time traffic data is integrated into the route guidance system. The most significant reductions in vehicular emissions and delays are realized under conditions where the demand for parking is much greater than the availability of parking places; suggesting that as cities become more densely populated, PGS will become more necessary to reduce congestion and improve urban air quality.
