  1. AASHTO SUBCOMMITTEE HIGHWAY TRANSPORT 7/9/2013

  2. ParkingCarma History • Founded around 10 years ago to build a parking software platform • Very early involvement with Smart Parking through work with U.C. Berkeley & Susan Shaheen’s team, Caltrans and BART • Involved with many public private partnership projects • Own the exclusive rights to patents for the processes of gathering and providing dynamic parking information

  3. Platform Flexibility

  4. Urban Parking • Search by location, or POI, or event • Return nearby locations that match user’s preferences and are currently open • Return real-time parking space availability at select facilities • Parking Reservations

  5. Special Event Parking • SF Giants • Rose Bowl • Comic-Con • AFI Fest

  6. BART – Bay Area Rapid Transit Application • Monthly permit management • Daily, Overnight & Airport Parking • Almost $1 million dollars a month in transactions • 30,000 parkers using service

  7. Key Truck Parking Issues • Persistent truck parking shortages • Demand exceeds capacity at many public & private stops. • Trucker Safety: If truckers cannot find a rest stop, they may: • Continue to drive while fatigued • Factor in 16% of truck crashes and 8% of fatal crashes. • Illegally park on the side of ramps & freeways. • Air Quality and Public Health • Parked trucks idle and release diesel emissions. • Trucking Industry • Illegal parking & driving while fatigued are safety issues. • Driver productivity is lower due to the time lost searching for parking.

  8. Need for Action • National shortage of Long-Term Freight Parking • Critical Issue for Environment, Mobility, Commerce & Safety • Recommended P3s to deploy availability information, and expansion of existing parking facilities

  9. “Some drivers we talked with spend as much as 2 ½ hours at the end of their day looking for a parking space. That’s nearly 23% of their 11 allowable hours of service” - Tom O’Brien, President and CEO of TravelCenters

  10. Ask any truck driver in America what the biggest non-regulatory hassle is during their day, and many of them will tell you: “Finding safe, cheap parking at the end of the shift.”

  11. Smart Truck Parking Overview • The system provides the following capabilities: • Truck Stop Attributes (gas, showers, wifi, etc.) • Real-time and historical parking availability • Capability to make advanced parking reservations. • Truck specific routing information • Parking check-in / check-out capability

  12. How it works

  13. THIRD-PARTY DATA: • Partners, Data Distributers • Content Providers • DYNAMIC DATA: • Availability feeds (aggregated occupancy) • Still-image pictures • STATIC DATA: • Truck stop location information • Amenities “Gateway” API that “pushes” Third Party Data to STP Database “SOAP” API that “pushes” STP data to third party (Affiliate) databases “REST” API that “pulls” data from the STP databases 3rd Party Websites and Mobile Apps STP Website and User Interfaces

  14. Help truckers make better informed decisions about where to park: • Pre-trip planning (prior to shift) • Just-in-time (in-route)

  15. Smarttruckparking.com

  16. Smarttruckparking.com

  17. Smarttruckparking.com Using availability sensors and still – camera images, the system is able to display reliable parking availability to truckers.

  18. Smart Truck Parking Mobile App

  19. Features: • Current availability of parking • Sensor counts • Still image bird’s eye view • Search • By nearest town • By distance from city • By Amenities • By truck stop name

  20. This is what we want to avoid! Mobile App conforms to the US DOT requirements related to distracted driving

  21. Supports dispatcher making reservations on behalf of driver • Can bill either corporate account or individual driver

  22. Projects Providing Availability Data

  23. On I-5 in California there are 3,802 private truck parking spaces (86%) and 600 public spaces • On SR99 there are 1,946 private truck parking spaces (93%) and 148 public spaces

  24. CA Project Corridor

  25. Logistics Terminal, Lathrop CA • It is a secure facility, with 24-hour staff and video monitoring, as well as a regular inventory taken. • It has spare parking capacity usable by trucks, but is currently not known as an overnight truck parking facility.

  26. Flying J (Pilot), Lodi, CA • Private truck stop with two entrances and 187 spaces • Currently fills up at night

  27. Determining parking space availability – • How Hard Can it be? • The sensor technology is not as accurate is we would like

  28. Traffic Analysis • Method (Inference) • Analysis traffic in and out, • Determines net change based on in and out, • Adds net change to previous count • Provides New Count • Types of Sensors • Loops, RF, Machine Visioning • Space Analysis • Method (Direct Count) • Monitoring Specific Spots or Zones • Types of Sensors • Object Detection Still Image Cameras • Space Sensors, such as Micro-loops • As truck leaves, reduces occupancy by one. • As truck enters, increases occupancy by one. • Total spaces known, so net change based on capacity

  29. Loop Sensors Parking Passport for Future Automated Reservation check in Loop Controller Loops on entry/exit driveway ParkingCarma Inc. Confidential

  30. Video Traffic Analysis Video Camera Positioned to Monitor and Track Traffic at all Entrances/Exits

  31. RF Tag Detection and Traffic Analysis Loops on entry/exit driveway RF antennas monitoring RF tags on ground every ¼ second

  32. I 94 Corridor from the Canadian border to Chicago • Partnering with HNTB • All public truck stops & 80% of private truck stops along the route • Private truck stops to be live by the end of summer • Public truck stops to be live by the end of fall

  33. MI Project Corridor From the Canadian border to Chicago

  34. 50% of the trucker driver respondents made their decisions about where to park within 6 hours of stopping. • Approximately 50% of the surveyed truckers stated that they would be willing to pay $2/month for reliable parking availability information. • Market studies have shown that truckers would be willing to pay roughly $1/reservation. Some TSOs have indicated a desire to pay those reservation fees to ParkingCarma as a benefit to their “high-roller” fleet vehicles. • TSA is doing an internal reservation pilot at $12/day • Almost 48% of truckers surveyed said that If they can’t find parking at a truck stop they just keep driving

  35. A National Opportunity Currently 300,000 trucks park every night nationally

  36. Next Steps • Launch both the CA and MI STP projects • Gather as much feedback from all project stakeholders • Truckers • Truck stop operators • CALTRANS • MDOT • Other DOTS • Rollout Nationally

  37. Next Steps • Focus on a unified national rollout approach • Work on a private public partnership rollout focused on the top trucking corridors • Work on standardization (APIs, data sharing, etc.) • Truckers will get the most benefit from a single system nationally • Cost and implementation time will be lower with a single national system • Cost to operate a single network nationally is substantially cheaper
