Abstract: The research in this article deals with verifying the deficit of parking spaces from model examples in the city of Ostrava, Czech Republic. Specifically, it deals with the possibilities of solving these deficits using automated parking systems. The main data collection took place between 2010 and 2019; later, supplemental lockdown data (up until May 2022) were obtained. The main objective of this article was to use data to determine the profitability and functionality of automated parking systems in mid-sized cities such as Ostrava. The RING system was chosen as a suitable model for the automated parking system. The data (using a least-squares approximation) were used via statistical methods to make predictions for future years, including the construction of confidence limits for a given significance level. Based on data from 2011–2019, we found that the RING system would be profitable with a probability of 92.45% in the following years. We compared these predictions with the actual data and made a new prediction.
