The Sustainable Design Academy undergraduate team conducted a study to examine the feasibility and efficacy of using different parking occupancy detection technologies to inform parkers in the city of Davis of where parking spaces are available in real-time. These technologies can reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with trolling for parking. The study accessed the GHG emissions currently being produced as a result of trolling and evaluated sensor-based and sensor-less options based on evaluation criteria developed in accordance with feedback from city Parking Task Force representation. The criteria accounted for both economic and data conveyance and accuracy considerations.
