1. Reduce motorist dissatisfaction with a lack of real-time parking availability information

2. Better utilize parking capacity• oversubscribed vs. underutilized lots

3. Focus on asset-light solutions

Project GoalDevelop an engaging, supplemental Smart Scale application to leverage innovative and evolving technologies in the realm of

“smart parking” at non-VRE park-and-ride lots in the I-95 corridor

Effort is intended to enhance a larger Smart Scale application by making it more comprehensive

• Scope-Schedule-Cost

• Six-year timeframe

• Compliment a wide range of projects

• Reflect uncertainty

Still at the research stage

• More interviews and review to come

Project Focus

In the 6-year timeframe of this application – mobility will change• Travel in the corridor will grow• Technology will evolve to enable new mobility options• Price of technology will drop

The Challenge

This impacts parking demand and the ability for technology to address it

Available Seat

VDOT Data Portal: http://smarterroads.org/

Steps to accomplish data warehousing:

• Step 1: Real-time Data Collection

• Step 2: Real-time checking and quality assurance of data collected

• Step 3: Real-time Transmission to Data Warehouse

• Step 4: Frequent checking connectivity and availability of uploaded data from Data Warehouse

• Step 5: Archiving data from Data Warehouse

• Step 6: Scheduled Downtimes for Maintenance and Upgrades

16

Data Warehousing

Message Signs/Directional Signage

Initial Demonstration App

• Availability in General Terms (High-Low-Full)

• Standalone or (preferred) VDOT 511

Adoption by 3rd parties

• Discourage scraping off app/website

In-lot mobile device directions

• Will not preclude it

17

Information Dissemination

Interviews/outreach

Final research (Cut-off – April 16th)

Research Document – Early May

Documentation of a Recommended Approach completed concurrently to meet schedule

Smart Scale Deadlines

• June 1, 2018 – Pre-Application Submission Deadline (5:00 p.m.)

• August 1, 2018 – Full Application Submission Deadline (5:00 p.m.)

Next Steps

“Hi, this is your Vaze-Share-a-ride app. Your usual carpool lot is filling early. There is nearby lot with open spaces, shall I change your rendezvous spot and inform your fellow Vazers of the change?”

“Great, rendezvous lot changed and your fellow Vazersinformed! When you arrive proceed to the Green Area to meet the rest of your party.”

“Vaze again! Looks like Bill is taking another route to work, no need to wait for him”
