The demand for parking surveys has increased significantly. Despite the increased demand for parking surveys, however, there has been little research and technological developments. Existing parking surveys are carried out by inspectors recording the vehicle license numbers on paper and showing their approximate location on a map. This method is time consuming and it is difficult to ensure the accuracy of the location data. In addition, it has the problem of the additional cost and time to computerize the survey data. Therefore, this study evaluated a parking survey method utilizing a smartphone to overcome the limitations of existing parking surveys. First, the essential items in a parking survey were identified and defined. Based on this, a smartphone application was developed for parking surveys. Using the developed application, a system was constructed to collect the parking survey data, and the necessary software to analyze and express the collected data was developed. If the results of this study can be applied to various parking surveys, then it is expected to be effective in reducing the social costs through more efficient parking surveys and prevent unnecessary duplicated surveys by the efficient management of parking survey data. Furthermore, through the tabulation and visualization of data through maps, it is expected to help understand more comprehensively and three-dimensionally the actual parking situation in the targeted survey area.
