Abstract

In the framework of Smart Cities and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), efficient parking management is essential to reduce urban congestion and emissions. However, current reservation-based systems often encounter a scenario in which users find their reserved slot occupied by a previous occupant who failed to vacate on time ("No PARK" situation). This paper introduces a dual-mechanism architecture designed to enhance system reliability. A Reservation Module uses a dynamic size buffer of non-reservable slots to grant parking availability. A reputation-based Reward System exploits a "star-based" metric to incentivize punctual departures through financial penalties and access restrictions. The simulations conducted with the SUMO urban simulator are promising, showing that the dynamic buffer strategy provides a better tradeoff between parking availability and reservation success. By progressively adapting to users behavior, the proposed system mitigates "NO PARK" instances and improves resource utilization, significantly enhancing urban viability.
