SimulParking: A Simulator of Parking Lots to Evaluate Data Management Techniques
Brief description
SimulParking is a simulator that can be used to evaluate data management techniques for the suggestion of parking spaces in parking lots. The simulator includes an editor that supports the definition of parking structures composed by several floors. Besides, more recently it has be integrated with the MAVSIM simulator (leading to the MAVSIM+ simulator), where we have also developed an extension that allows simulating on-street parking spaces in a city.
This invention has been registered in Spain (University of Zaragoza — PII-2023-0025).
