Main characteristics and rules of urban mobility related to parking instances
The concern of mobility in urban areas in recent decades has become an increasingly serious problem and difficult
to manage: the quality of life, not only of drivers, is strongly influenced due to inefficiencies and diseconomies of
urban congestion. This raises also serious problems of pollution and noise and wide spaces of the city are occupied by
parked cars. To this must be added that the costs and travel times are always increasing and that the mortality rate due
to accidents in urban areas is very high. From a macro-economic point of view, the society "pays" a very high cost for
urban mobility and each user adapts its travel patterns in order to reduce the structural deficit of the transport
network. From the scientific point of view, the North American and European literature [2], [3] have approached the
matter with the goal of mitigating the consequences of individual mobility trying to model the feature of traffic that
occur during peak hours.
