Providing curb availability information to delivery drivers reduces cruising for parking by Giacomo Dalla Chiara, Klaas Fiete Krutein, Andisheh Ranjbari, Anne Goodchild

“…Abstract Delivery vehicle drivers are experiencing increasing challenges in finding available curb space to park in urban areas, which increases instances of cruising for parking and parking in unauthorized spaces. Policies traditionally used to reduce cruising for parking for passenger vehicles, such as parking fees and congestion pricing, are not effective at changing delivery drivers’ travel and parking behaviors. …”
