Towards Truck Parking Lot Occupancy Estimation

Occupied truck parking lots regularly cause hazardous situations. Estimation of current parking lot state could be utilized to provide drivers parking recommendations. In this work, we highlight based on a simulation scenario, how sparse observations, as obtained by a mobile application could be utilized to estimate parking lot occupancy. Our simulated results reveal that a detection of a filled parking lot could be possible with an error of less than half an hour, if the required data would be available.
