Sharareh (Sherri) Kermanshachi Sharareh (Sherri) Kermanshachi, a University of Texas at Arlington associate professor of civil engineering, has partnered with Modii (formerly known as Spot Parking), the UTA Department of Parking and Transportation Services and the North Central Texas Council of Governments and secured a $500,148 two-year grant to develop and evaluate a digital map for UTA parking lots that will allow motorists to electronically access available parking spaces. The team will use accumulated UTA data to digitally transform parking management across the campus and evaluate the effectiveness of the new system. This project will provide immediate benefits to the campus by enhancing sustainability practices because motorists will use less fuel and increase efficiency of existing parking assets on campus. The project also will seek to improve users’ experiences and establish an artificial intelligence-based system to predict future demand. “Parking has become a major challenge for campuses across the country,” Kermanshachi said. “The search for parking spaces leads to a daily waste of time and gas and more emissions by students, faculty, staff and visitors.” Kermanshachi also is the director of the Resilient Infrastructures and Sustainable Environment Lab, assistant director of research initiatives in the College of Engineering, and […]
