Traveling Officer Problem: Managing Car Parking Violations Efficiently Using Sensor Data

Publication Year: 2018 Publication Type : JournalArticle

Abstract:


The on-street parking system is an indispensable part of civil projects, which provides travellers and shoppers with parking spaces. With the recent in-ground sensors deployed throughout the city, there is a significant problem on how to use the sensor data to manage parking violations and issue infringement notices in a short time-window efficiently. In this paper, we use a large real-world dataset with on-street parking sensor data from the local city council, and establish a formulation of the Travelling Officer Problem with a general probabilitybased model. We propose two solutions using a spatio-temporal probability model for parking officers to maximize the number of infringing cars caught with limited time cost. Using real-world parking sensor data and Google Maps road network information, the experimental results show that our proposed algorithms outperform the existing patrolling routes.
