Motorway Parking Availability (MPA)
Motorway Parking Availability provides motorway parking availability information and guidance for truck drivers to make informed choices about available parking places. Existing solutions provide information about the location of parks, capacity, and available equipment, facilities on site, security equipment and information about dangerous goods parking. Background Information on motorway parking availability is aimed to provide efficiency and safety benefits to drivers and help to reduce emissions and congestions on motorways by reducing the time spent searching for parking.
Participating actors in Motorway Parking Availability include vehicle drivers / truck drivers who receive information on availability of truck parking spaces and services of parking lots on the in-vehicle display, parking lot operators who provide information on availability of truck parking spaces and services of parking lots, transport operators, and data providers who collect information from parking space operators and aggregates them into a single data source which can be accessed at a data access point.
The objective of Motorway Parking Availability is to provide to truck drivers information on parking spaces, such as the location of parking lots, the number of their available spaces, vehicle types permitted to be parked, services provided in the parking lot, and associated rates, if the parking is secured or not.

ITS-G5
In case of ITS-G5 communications, roadside systems send parking information to the traffic management system, which is forwarded to service providers. Communication providers sends the parking availability information to the Roadside Unit (RSU) or roadside systems send the information directly to the RSU, which in turn forwards the information to the OBU.
Cellular
In case of cellular communications, roadside systems send parking information to the traffic management system, which is forwarded to service providers. Then service providers send the parking availability information to the Personal Information Device (PID).
