Abstract:

Parking reservation is one of the effective methods to improve the occupancy rate of parking spaces. However， some drivers may not park on time as scheduled， which leads to low utilization of parking spaces and wastes parking resources. In view of this， in order to solve the problem of low utilization of parking spaces caused by drivers who are late， a parking space reservation method is proposed based on multi-stage Vickrey Clarke Groves auction. In the multi-stage auction of parking space reservation， a “driver late report” mechanism is proposed for the first time.The platform conducts the next stage auction of parking spaces according to drivers' reports， so as to improve the utilization rate of parking spaces and reduce vehicle cruise time. The “driver late reporting” mechanism can effectively suppress the large fluctuation of parking lot utility and driver parking benefit caused by the previous demand disturbance. At the same time， it also reduces the cruising time of parked vehicles and improves the income of drivers and social benefits.

Key words: parking space reservation, multi-stage auction, pre demand disturbance, parking space utilization
