Abstract: Heavy Commercial Vehicle (HCV) parking is an important issue for commercial drivers due to concerns regarding parking supply, hours-of-service (HOS) laws, and electronic logging device (ELD) mandates. HOS laws are intended to reduce driver fatigue while ELD mandates ensure strict HOS compliance. Unfortunately, inadequate HCV parking availability may force drivers to make an undesirable choice: park illegally in a potentially unsafe location or drive longer than the law permits and face fines for HOS violations. These outcomes occur frequently throughout Canada and the United States, leading to safety and financial concerns for government jurisdictions and the broader public.
