Smart Parking Bay Utilization Trial in Manuka Precinct

SmartParking Stay data shows real-time utilization of individual parking bays in the Manuka shopping precinct. The trial uses bay sensor data and the ParkCBR app to help drivers find available parking. Data is provided by the ACT Government Open Data team.

Use Cases

• Analyze parking bay utilization patterns from sensor data to identify peak congestion times.
• Model driver parking behavior using real-time bay availability data from the trial.
• Assess traffic flow impact by correlating bay stay data with precinct travel times.

Strengths

• Data originates from a real-time bay sensor trial.
• Focuses on a specific geographic area: the Manuka shopping precinct.
• Data is provided in multiple machine-readable formats: XML, CSV, RDF, and JSON.

Limitations

• Unknown sample size and data volume (rows and columns unspecified).
• Data scope is limited to a single trial precinct, not city-wide.
• Relies on a specific mobile app (ParkCBR) for user interaction data.
