PURPOSES : Many people recommend the expansion of the drone market and various ways of using drones. However, unreasonable expansion may cause various social problems. Therefore, criteria and systems for the expansion are required. This paper presents a review of the system using drones for managing and enforcing illegal parking, and recommendations on improvement. METHODS : This paper presents a review of the system using drones for managing and enforcing illegal parking, and recommendations on improvement. RESULTS : This study shows that new enforcement criteria are required for a new enforcement method using drones. In addition, consignment operation is needed to solve workforce shortage and secure expertise, and flight mitigation criteria are required, considering the illegal parking characteristics based on region and time. Finally, CCTV operation guidelines should be improved to clarify the definition of drone images and prevent unreasonable information collection. CONCLUSIONS : Illegal parking enforcement using drones is an efficient method that is highly feasible and solves enforcement limitation issues, such as the lack of workforce and equipment. A prior institutional review is required to apply new technologies more efficiently, and proposals on improving the legal systems with limitations are required through continuous research.

PURPOSES : This study reveals the social cost of illegal parking. Roadside illegal parking causes additional traffic congestion, air pollution, and traffic accidents. Several cities try to reduce illegal parking for the same reasons and build public parking spaces. However, few studies have been conducted on the effects and social cost of illegal parking problems. METHODS : In this study, a real-world study site was selected for the calibration of the VISSIM micro-simulator parameters, and several scenarios were created for developing illegal parking effect models. According to the simulation results, this study demonstrated five regression models that illustrated the average travel speed drop effects and the differences in emissions. RESULTS : Depending on the scenarios, the travel speed was dropped by 20 km/h–57 km/h and the levels of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide were increased by 111 g–279 g and 22.5 g–56.3 g, respectively. CONCLUSIONS : In this study, a methodology for estimating the social cost of illegal parking was established. Therefore, it is expected to contribute to the evaluation of policies related to illegal parking or the feasibility of facility investment.
