ADOT Truck Parking Availability System (TPAS)
Status: Planned
Description
The I–10 Truck Parking Availability System (TPAS) is a technology system that will detect, monitor, and provide real–time truck parking availability information to truck drivers, dispatchers, and other interested stakeholders. Once implemented, the system will monitor and report on the availability of truck parking spaces at public rest areas in California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. The system will utilize roadside dynamic message signs, smartphone and in–cab applications, websites, and other traveler information sites, truck drivers and dispatchers can make informed parking decisions that will help improve safety, efficiency, and mobility, and reduce emissions along the I–10 corridor.

Physical Objects
Functional Objects
| Functional Object | Description | User Defined |
|---|
| Parking Area Management | 'Parking Area Management' detects and classifies vehicles at parking facility entrances, exits, and other designated locations within the facility. Current parking availability is monitored and used to inform drivers through dynamic message signs/displays so that vehicles are efficiently routed to available spaces. Parking facility information, including current parking rates and directions to entrances and available exits, is also provided to drivers. | False |
|---|
| Parking Coordination | 'Parking Coordination' supports communication and coordination between equipped parking facilities and also supports regional coordination between parking facilities and traffic management systems. Coordination with traffic management supports local traffic control coordination in and around the parking facility and broader regional coordination. It also shares information with transit management systems and information providers to support multimodal travel planning, including parking reservations capabilities. Information including current parking availability, system status, and operating strategies are shared to enable local parking facility management that supports regional transportation strategies. | False |
|---|
| TMC Traffic Information Dissemination | 'TMC Traffic Information Dissemination' disseminates traffic and road conditions, closure and detour information, incident information, driver advisories, and other traffic–related data to other centers, the media, and driver information systems. It monitors and controls driver information system field equipment including dynamic message signs and highway advisory radio, managing dissemination of driver information through these systems. | False |
