This paper addresses the pressing issue of insufficient truck parking spaces on freight corridors, exacerbated by Hour-of-Service regulations, which often lead to unauthorized parking practices compromising safety. By predicting accurate parking usage, studies have shown that this can be a cost-effective solution to reduce such concerns. Existing methods focus on single parking sites, neglecting spatio-temporal dependencies between multiple sites due to limited data. This paper aims to bridge this gap by introducing the Regional Temporal Graph Neural Network (RegT-GCN) to predict parking usage across entire states. The framework leverages topological structures of truck parking site locations and historical data to consider spatial correlations, employing a novel Regional Decomposition approach. Evaluation results demonstrate improved performance over baseline models, outperforming by more than 20%.

This paper helps solve the problem of trucks not having enough places to park on busy roads. Right now, there’s a big issue with parking spaces being taken up for too long because of special truck hours rules. This makes safety a concern. Some studies have found that if we can accurately predict when these parking spots will be used, it can help solve this problem. But existing methods only look at one parking spot at a time and don’t consider how different spots are connected over space and time. This paper wants to change that by creating a new way to predict parking usage across entire states. It uses special computer code called RegT-GCN to do this, combining information about where the parking spots are located and when they’ve been used before. The results show that this new method is much better than existing ones.
