Abstract:
Methods and systems for interpretable user behavior profiling in off-street parking applications. To render user profiles easy to interpret by decision makers, the semi-automatic discovery and tagging of user profiles can be implemented. Transaction data from one or more (and geographically close) off-street parking installations can be implemented. An analysis of spatio-temporal behavioral patterns can be implemented based on representation of any parking episode by a set of heterogeneous features, the use of clustering methods for automatic pattern discovery, an assessment of obtained clusters, semi-automatic identification/tagging of space-temporal patterns, and a user-friendly interpretation of obtained patterns.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for modeling user arrival and choice in the context of off-street parking solutions. A first component models the arrival and duration of stay of users as a function of time, taking into account different user profiles (or “clusters”), captured by a latent variable. A second component provides a ranking function (for each user cluster), wherein the input features describing the “choice” constitute status variables associated different car park(s), and the output constitutes a preferred car park and a pricing scheme. The system simulates different user behaviors by assuming some standard groups of users will behave similarly. Groups of users or user profiles are learned automatically. The profiles are then employed as a key element for automatically learning a decision function of parking users, and automatically learning one decision function per profile.

Abstract:
Methods and systems for estimating airport usage demand. Airport parking traffic usage data and flight-time table data can be compiled with respect to an airport (or more than one airport). The airport parking traffic usage data and flight-time table data can be analyzed using an efficient time matching approach (e.g., a time segment matching algorithm). An efficient method to match passengers and flights is introduced. Passenger behavior can be estimated with respect to the airport based on the airport parking traffic usage data and flight-time table data.
