Why PSMR was Launched

In recent years, analysis utilizing people flow data has become widespread. However, people flow data only reveals "where people were," and does not capture decision-making such as "where they intended to go" or "under what conditions they searched for parking."

PSMR aims to provide new mobility insights by visualizing the act of "searching for parking" itself through the analysis of nationwide parking search data accumulated in P-Collection.

Main Analysis Content of Vol.1

Vol.1, released this time, includes the following themes:

May 2026 Nationwide Parking Search Volume

Changes in Search Distance (Domestic Searches)

Analysis of Regional Search Demand

Golden Week Feature

Consumer Behavior Interpreted from Parking Search Data

Future Analysis Themes

Key Trends Observed in Vol.1

The report confirmed the following characteristics:

Search volume in May 2026 was 7,918 cases. The median search distance in domestic searches shortened from 4.30 km to 2.79 km. Searches for "cheapest first" accounted for approximately 60%, indicating a continued emphasis on price. Significant differences in search demand were observed by region. During the GW period, short-distance searches and planned search behavior increased.

These analysis results can potentially be utilized in decision-making for local governments, parking operators, tourism DMOs, and commercial facilities.

Preview of Next Issue

PSMR Vol.2 is scheduled to feature "Changes in Parking Search Behavior During the Rainy Season."

It is planned to analyze and publish:

Whether search distance shortens on rainy days. Impact of rain by region. Search behavior by time of day. Changes in search conditions.

How to Obtain the Report

PSMR Vol.1 is provided free of charge.

Furthermore, the insights gained from PSMR will be applied to improve the functionality of "Park-Labo," an area marketing analysis system for parking operators, and the free parking search app "P-Collection," as well as to collaborate with local governments and the tourism sector, aiming to realize a better mobility society based on data.
