TY - EJOU AU - Deng, Zhiliang AU - Wang, Dong TI - Research on Parking Path Planing Based on A-Star Algorithm T2 - Journal of New Media PY - 2023 VL - 5 IS - 1 SN - 2579-0129 AB - The issue of finding available parking spaces and mitigating congestion during parking is a persistent challenge for numerous car owners in urban areas. In this paper, we propose a novel method based on the A-star algorithm to calculate the optimal parking path to address this issue. We integrate a road impedance function into the conventional A-star algorithm to compute path duration and adopt a fusion function composed of path length and duration as the weight matrix for the A-star algorithm to achieve optimal path planning. Furthermore, we conduct simulations using parking lot modeling to validate the effectiveness of our approach, which can provide car drivers with a reliable optimal parking navigation route, reduce their parking costs, and enhance their parking experience.
