Abstract

Management tasks of parking facilities (coordination of demand and supply) belong to mobility and trac management, especially in the case of limited capacities. While researches regarding to parking problems usually focus on narrower fields (processes, implementation), claim for integrated, comprehensive trac management appears even more intensively. The information technology offers a wide toolkit for this. The concept of the integrated parking management system has been elaborated. It takes into consideration the dierent characteristics of the parking methods. A ranking calculation method has been developed, which assesses the parking facilities and gives suggestions for the trip chain and the parking spot. This is based on time-dependent and ever-changing resistance values. The method takes into consideration the dynamic features of facilities, users' preferences and the applied management strategy. It can be used for the development of route guidance and navigation software. In the future, mobility and parking demands can be influenced by real-time and interactive information management via smartphones. These equipments became personal intelligent travel assistant devices.
