Zusammenfassung:A system and method for recommending pricing using blocking rates and traffic flux. For a given block face, occupancy and traffic flow information are collected and analyzed to determine a blocking rate. The traffic flux for the block face is determined using the collected traffic flow information. External costs, including cost to drivers slowed and cost to drivers blocked from parking are estimated and a cost rate is determined as a function of the blocking rate, the traffic flux, and the external costs. A utility rate is calculated and a price change is recommended based upon a maximization of the utility rate.
