Sparkman: A Smart Parking Management Tool For University Campuses

PI Kelvin Cheu and his students have developed a total parking demand model for students and a “base price” model for student parking permits based on data gathered from an internet survey on parking at 208 university campuses across the United States. This project aims to develop a student parking lot zoning and zone permit pricing model, and then integrate the total demand model, “base price” model and the zoning model into a software tool named Sparkman, which can be used by all university parking offices
