Table 2

ILP details for parking optimization.

ILP elements	Details	Description
Decision variable	Xi,j,k	Number of vehicles assigned to the ith parking lot from jth category at kth time interval
Objective function		: probability of parking in the ith parking lot by jth category at kth time interval
Group constraints 1	Capacity of each parking lot must be considered Percent of vehicle stay in a specific parking lot from previous time intervals also must be considered in the calculation process
Group constraints 2	Each parking lot must be available for the related staff of each department at different time intervals
Group constraints 3	The total demand from staff of different departments must be met
Group constraints 4	Number of parking spaces devoted to students of each department at different time intervals must be equal or less than the applicants from that department
Group constraints 5	Parking spaces devoted to students of each department must be divided between students based on their education level at each time interval
