Planned special events attract thousands of attendees from nearby cities or suburbia by car
and transit. In most cases, the majority of attendees use personal automobiles, and a high
parking demand results in a short time, with a consequent parking shortage. Parking
guidance information systems can solve the problem by displaying information on parking
lot availability to dynamically divert vehicles. This study focused on optimizing dynamic
parking guidance information for automobile drivers at special events. An original multimode …

This paper focuses on dynamic parking guidance information optimization for highway
travelers of special events. The original multi-mode traffic network is converted to a novel
network by considering parking lots as dummy links; therefore shortest path can be
implemented in the new network. A Bi-level programming model based on dynamic route
choice and linear programming (LP) is proposed to optimize dynamic PGI. Based on
travelers' reaction to PGI, Stochastic Dynamic User Optimal (SDUO) route choice is …
