The London Borough of Lambeth suffers from poor air quality and congested roads, and high parking demand is a major cause for these two severe problems. The goal of our project was to inform the Lambeth Council how smart parking apps, dynamic pricing, and autonomous vehicles may affect their ability to provide effective parking services. We interviewed Council employees, researched how future technologies may affect the borough and its parking services, and surveyed users of Lambeth’s parking services to gauge how the public might react to these technologies. We recommended the Lambeth Council collect occupancy data for smart parking systems, explore opportunities for conducting dynamic pricing trials, and publish public status reports on parking services.
