Survey on 'Parking Stress' During Golden Week Launched: Parking Science Inc. Conducts 'Parking Realities' Survey for P-Collection Users

Parking Science Inc. (Headquarters: Fujisawa, Kanagawa; CEO: Naoya Inoue) has launched a survey on 'parking stress' during the 2026 Golden Week for users of its parking search app, 'P-Collection.' The survey covers common driver experiences such as 'no spots available,' 'difficult to park,' 'feeling pressured by cars waiting behind,' 'confusing traffic flow,' and 'long wait times to exit.' In recent years, traffic congestion and parking shortages have become significant social issues, particularly around tourist spots and large commercial facilities. While traditional parking services prioritize proximity, price, and availability, the 'psychological ease of parking'—such as whether a spot is easy to enter or if one can park without stress—has not been sufficiently visualized. Parking Science aims to visualize this 'parking stress' data to create a more comfortable parking experience. The survey will collect detailed information on what drivers value most when choosing a parking spot, their anxieties, and desired future features. The results will be used for service development, including AI-based congestion prediction and parking stress analysis. The survey runs until June 30, 2026, and participants have a chance to win points.
