Utility theory is introduced to analyze the behavioral characteristics of the tripartite participants in parking pricing. A parking behavior model for private car travelers, an operating profit model for parking lot operators, and a social negative utility model for traffic managers are established. This article presents an analysis of the mutual influence between them based on a game theory perspective and introduces parking saturation and road saturation as new factors influencing parking pricing to address the interactive relationship among the tripartite participants. A parking pricing model based on tripartite games is established, and a solution algorithm is designed. The results indicate that when the parking fee rates for the two public parking lots in the scenario are 8.5 CNY\/h and 9 CNY\/h, respectively, the parking demand is 300, and the sum of the total travel costs of private car travelers and the total operating profits are CNY 20,589 and 2187.9, respectively. The parking saturation of the public parking lot and the difference between the expected value is minimized to 0.25, and the road saturation and the difference between the expected value are minimized to 1.48, which is the parking pricing plan that minimizes the conflicts of interest among the tripartite stakeholders in the tripartite game. The parking pricing model of a public parking lot provides a reference for formulating parking fee strategies that comprehensively reflect the needs of the three parties involved in the public parking lot.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/systems12080269","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,29]],"date-time":"2024-07-29T09:50:05Z","timestamp":1722246605000},"page":"269","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Pricing Model Study of Shared Parking Area Charge Based on Game Theory"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1543-5790","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chao","family":"Sun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automotive and Traffic Engineering, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang 212013, China"}]},{"given":"Haodong","family":"Jing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automotive and Traffic Engineering, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang 212013, China"}]},{"given":"Haowei","family":"Yin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tianjin Municipal Engineering Design and Research Institute (TMEDI), Tianjin 300392, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"53","article-title":"Travel behavior choice under the condition of dynamic reservation parking pricing","volume":"18","author":"He","year":"2020","journal-title":"J.
