Park Parking

2019

The book containing this project, presents the outcomes of the 1st International Workshop “Dubai Pop-Up: Architecture in a Transient City” organized in March 2017 at d3-Dubai Design District by Al Ghurair University in collaboration with other international academic partners. Local students of architecture worked together with students coming from an international background, in order to foster a shared design vision through a collective cultural growth and reciprocal awareness. The participants had the opportunity to visit both recent accomplished buildings and projects under construction, confronting themselves with the local context in a dynamic and stimulating environment. The workshop …

Parking Pricing for a Sustainable Transport System

2014

Abstract The purpose of this study has been the develop of a model for designing an efficient parking pricing policy. The aim is an intelligent control and management system of parking pricing integrated with a redefinition of the circulation scheme for a limited traffic zone in the Central Business District (CBD) of Palermo. The transport demand over the entire area of the town has been studied in order to design various parking pricing scenarios with the application of an additional cost on parking inside the selected area of the CBD. This area attracts most of the private vehicular traffic and it is characterized by university faculties, schools, hospitals, offices and commercial areas. …

A Simulation Analysis for Assessing the Reliability of AC/DC Hybrid Microgrids - Part I: Underground Station and Car Parking

2021

This paper reports the results of a simulation study with the aim of evaluating the capability of two portions of a hybrid AC/DC MV/LV network of maintaining their operation in off-grid mode during the loss of the main AC grid due to a failure. In particular, the study aims to verify, in the case of islanded operation of the two microgrids, the continuity of the electricity service by exploiting the local generation plants, Energy Storage Systems (ESSs), and other flexible resources managed by suitable algorithms in different energy scenarios. The analysis was carried out considering two microgrids: an underground station and a car parking with Electric Vehicles (EVs). For assessing the per…

TECNICHE QUANTITATIVE PER LA PROGETTAZIONE DELLA TARIFFAZIONE DELLA SOSTA IN AMBITO URBANO

Ad oggi numerose resistenze dibattono sull’adozione di schemi di pricing nei centri urbani dalla presunta iniquità, che renderebbero di fatto accessibili i centri urbani soltanto a coloro che possono permettersi di pagare la tariffa di accesso. Ma al contempo l’evoluzione di tecnologie innovative di rilevamento e di infomobilità consentono di ipotizzare un completo ribaltamento dei criteri di tassazione del traffico stradale, dove il carico fiscale potrebbe essere rimodulato in relazione agli effettivi comportamenti di ogni singolo utente. L’obiettivo è stato quello di controllare e limitare la mobilità all’interno di una determinata area urbana attraverso un nuovo modo di concepire le ZTL …

Smart parking system - another way of sharing economy provided by private institutions

2018

This paper presents our smart parking solution implemented at “Lucian Blaga” University of Sibiu (LBUS) Romania, which consists in a hardware / software embedded system for managing the institution’s parking lots, namely sharing the parking places in excess for people who are in traffic in neighbourhood of LBUS and are looking to park. Our solution is flexible, universal, applicable to all faculties that have car parks from Romania and not only, in university cities where the crowd is bigger, but also to other private institutions that own parking spaces inefficiently exploited. The advantages introduced are primarily economic, then social and even environmental. The first benefit is econom…

Design of a Smart Car Park with PV generation and BESS for Grid-on and Grid-off Operation. The SMARTEP Project

2022

The paper presents the design state of a smart car park shelter for electric vehicle in the campus of the University of Palermo. The car park is supplied by the main grid and by a 40 kW photovoltaic system and is equipped with a Li-ion battery storage system with capacity 42 kWh. The hybrid plant is designed in order to operate both in connection with the main grid and in stand-alone mode, supplying, in this case, all car park's loads and providing one recharge to an electric vehicle. Moreover, the energy storage system and, eventually, the battery of one or more cars with V2G technologies, can be managed for providing ancillary services to the grid. In the paper, the design of the system a…
