Testing Irrationality in Metered Parking Payment Compliance
Parking payment non-compliance behavior is the central problem addressed in this proposed research. Parking payment decisions are complex, poorly understood, and understudied. Most existing research on parking payment non-compliance either assumes that the driver is rational and that payment non-compliance is intentional (Cullinane, 1993), or it treats the driver as a black box, examining the phenomenon with no interest in understanding the behavior (Yang and Qian, 2017). This proposed research studies parking payment non-compliance behavior using data from the city of Denver and theories of behavioral economics. The goal is to understand the behavioral patterns of payment non-compliance, and to test whether such behaviors are motivated by the driver's rational analysis of cost and benefit.
