停车场领域正在经历一个极端创新的时期。美国的城市现在正在探索新技术来改善路边停车。其中一项创新是基于传感器和智能电表的动态定价。本文介绍了两项调查和一项人种学研究的结果，以了解用户的行为，知识和看法周围的停车场。调查结果表明，大量用户误解了三个测试贴纸之一，传达了一天的时间定价。此外，在发现附近有更便宜的停车位后，人们表示愿意改变他们未来的行为，在这些地方停车。人种学实地研究发现，许多停车者在一次停车过程中使用残疾人标牌超过八个小时的情况很常见。这些停车者中有一部分可能非法使用标语牌。我们建议在白天增加一些停车限制，可能会通过增加长时间停车的难度来抑制标语牌的使用。
The field of parking is going through a period of extreme innovation. Cities in the United States are now exploring new technology to improve on-street parking. One such innovation is dynamic pricing based on sensors and smart meters. This paper presents the results of two surveys and an ethnographic study in the context of LA Express ParkTM to understand users’ behaviors, knowledge and perceptions around parking. Survey results demonstrated that a high number of users misunderstood one of three tested stickers that convey time of day pricing. Furthermore, after discovering the availability of cheaper parking spots nearby, people expressed willingness to change their future behavior to park in those places. Ethnographic field studies found that it is common for many parkers to use handicapped placards for over eight hours in one parking session. A percentage of these parkers may be using placards illegally. We propose that increasing some parking restrictions during the day may curb placard use by making it more difficult to park for long periods.
