Why is it important?

The analysis results show that the maximum accumulation parking of motorcycle occurs on the weekend, which was equal to 401, while on weekdays, there were 192 motorcycles. The static parking space was 2760 m2 with a configuration using a 90-degrees pattern accommodating 1306 motorcycles whereas the parking volume was 1492 motorcycles. Therefore, the demand is higher than supply of motorcycle parking lot, especially during the weekend. Moreover, the parking system is operated manually. Hence, the users need a longer time for the parking process. In addition, the information on parking space available for the users cannot be accessed just in time that leads to less efficient services. Thus, it is very important to apply Intelligent Transportation System, particularly to manage the motorcycle parking lot in this area efficiently.
