Balancing parking space capacities and distributing capacity information play an important role in modern metropolitan life and urban land use management. They promise not only optimal urban land use and reductions of search time for suitable parking, but also contribute to a lower fuel consumption. Based on a design science research approach we develop a solution to parking space management through deep learning and aspire to design a camera-based, low-cost, scalable, real-time detection of occupied parking spaces. We evaluate the solution by building a prototype to track cars on parking lots that improves prior work by using a TensorFlow deep neural network with YOLOv4 and DeepSORT. Additionally, we design a web interface to visualize parking capacity and provide further information, such as average parking times. This work contributes to camera-based parking space management on public, open-air parking lots.
