Forward and Reverse Parking in a Parking Lot

Physics and Society 2019-10-01 v1

Abstract

The choice of forward and reverse parking in a parking lot is studied as a stochastic process. An M/M/c/cM/M/c/c queueing system is used as an initial framework. We use Monte Carlo simulation to get the relationship between vehicle orientation and vehicle entry and exit rates, as well as the most likely parking states at each specific rate. We view the change in parking status over time.
