Abstract
The study area which is An-Najah National University-New Campus is considered as a significant place in Nablus. The university is interested to have the campus transferred into Smart Campus by 2020. A Smart Campus is related to the implementation of the new technologies and systems which demonstrate the relationships between virtual and physical environment through proper applications. Smart parking helps in managing the parking supply in the university, and helps in understanding the interaction between parking supply and demand. In addition, it helps in finding the best route to reduce the delay which some of employees could face. The goal of the smart parking is having an efficient parking system which delivers real improvements in user service quality and provides real-time flexibility. Proper management and control of parking lots also help through utilization of available parking spaces (supply) most efficiently. Moreover, parking availability information contributes to better allocation of spaces to users and in allowing good distribution over parking facilities. In this project, our aspect of smart parking is considered using advanced technology. An implementation of Geographic Information System to Transportation (GIS-T) were used with the association of GIS applications and taking into consideration the impedance of travel time or the distance travelled to find the optimal system assignment. The results show the system optimal allocation of parking stalls for a sample of instructors offices in faculty of Engineering.
