Abstract Unlike the detection of marked on-street parking spaces, detecting unmarked spaces poses significant challenges due to the absence of clear physical demarcation and uneven gaps caused by irregular parking. In urban cities with heavy traffic flow, these challenges can result in traffic disruptions, rear-end collisions, sideswipes, and congestion as drivers struggle to make decisions. We propose a real-time detection system for on-street parking spaces using YOLO models and recommend the most suitable space based on KD-tree search. Lightweight versions of YOLOv5, YOLOv7-tiny, and YOLOv8 with different architectures are trained. Among the models, YOLOv5s with SPPF… More >
