Abstract

Autonomous vehicles can profoundly change parking behaviour in the future. Instead of searching for parking, the occupants alight at their final destination and send their occupant-free cars to a parking spot. This paper studies the impact of parking in a morning commute problem with autonomous and regular vehicles. We simplify the complex problem with distinct cost functions to a classic bi-class problem that can be analytically solved. To optimize the system, we develop temporal and spatial parking pricing strategies and a new parking supply design scheme, as practical alternatives for the conventional dynamic congestion pricing.
