● Provide better information for drivers with limited knowledge about
the transportation system by showing alternative parking locations

14A typical parking facility of a Parking Guidance System …
● is located in reasonable distance to the drivers final destination
(e.g. up to 3 blocks or up to 10 min walking distance)
● provides enough stalls for short-term parkers
● has sufficient opening hours
● provides the possibility to count all incoming and outgoing
vehicles
● fits in the overall pricing scheme of the area.
Basic rules for the pricing scheme
– similar prices in the same area
– comparable prices between off-street and on-street parking
– lower prices for locations further away from the center
