Abstract
As technology advances, vehicle has become indispensable for a family. Since Taiwan has limited space, people always worry about if there is any parking space near their destinations. If there is no public transportation to the place, driving is the only way to arrive. However, it takes a lot of time to look for a parking space. Is there any good idea to solve this problem? After researching ways of find a parking space in Taiwan and other countries, we found that there are few methods in Taiwan. Therefore, we try to implement the mobile parking service originated from western countries in Taiwan and assess its feasibility, hoping to solve the parking problem. After implementing the mobile parking device, we begin to assess its practicability. We found that users were very satisfied with this service. Moreover, we put it to the Taiwan market, and found that most drivers preferred driving to their destinations. According to our observations, they mostly relied on GPS or themselves. From their parking behaviors, we found that most drivers would look for the space by themselves, if they could not find one, they would drive around. When spending more time on this, drivers would be more willing to pay for higher parking service prices. If we can offer updated parking information, drivers would go to the parking lot which you want them to go, and the possibility even over 80%. Our research shows that if we want to solve the parking problem, we should implement the model in current users but not create a new parking model. Now we can provide drivers with information of close parking lots with prices, the remaining parking spaces or street photos, and implement the information above into the GPS set in cars.
