Study and design of a parking meter system

The automobile is the main means of transportation in most cities of the world, however, its excessive use has generated several environmental and social problems, one of them is the lack of control over parking on public roads, affecting vehicle traffic, disturbing the image of the city, increasing the rate of accidents and causing negative effects on the mood of drivers and pedestrians. There are different alternatives to reduce these indicators, highlighting the effectiveness of the implementation of parking meter systems, which seek to regulate parking on public roads through a fee and a time limit. This article demonstrates the design, feasibility and impact (economic, social and environmental) of an implementation of the parking meter system in the center of the city of San José de Cúcuta, Colombia, with data from the Secretariat of Transit of the metropolitan area of the city of San José de Cúcuta, Colombia and the national institute of roads, achieving a solution to the problem of traffic congestion in the city and also contributing to create citizen culture among its inhabitants.
