ABSTRACT
Parking information-related services are blooming with the appearance of new ICT capabilities, and many cities are investing their own parking management strategies based on smart solutions. However, both the parking industry and transport planners tend to think of information as simply a commodity, disregarding how key it is to the efficiency of the market. In this chapter, we review how information is dealt with in the parking industry, the way it affects drivers’ parking behavior and how information frictions translate into market distortions. We suggest potential interventions to correct these and highlight future concerns and research lines worth following.
