Second table contains hourly percentage of occupancy of these park areas between 19 November 2020 and 2 December 2020. We have collected this datas by using IBB Open Data API. You can also access this API from here.

Missing Values

We don’t have any missing values in our tables as you can see below. We think this is because we use API data that is cleaned and submitted by others.

Boxplot of Avg. monthly price for each type of Park Type

We took out 2 of the park types because their quantity was lower than the others so they were misleading. In conclusion, * ‘Open Park’ has a lower mean of monthly price than ‘Close Park’ and ‘Road Park’. * Close Park’s monthly price has outliers. But despite those outliers, its monthly prices varies the least.

Hourly Occupancy Rates

The line graph below shows us average hourly occupancy rates of ‘Ispark’ stations. It can be seen from the graph that average parking occupancy rate during daytime is less than nights. Parking occupancy rate is starting to decrease when working hours started and continue to decrease until approximately 15:00 pm. and it sharply increases by closing hours of working day. The graph shows that ‘Ispark’ stations mostly used during night.

The line below shows us average hourly parking occupancy Rates by park types of ‘Ispark’ stations. In all park types, the average occupancy rate decreases during daytime. In other words, in all park types, park stations mostly used during night. Another conclusion we can draw is, in average, it is more probably that chance to find empty parking space in parking garage than open parking lots and parking lots near road.

Price Histogram

The histogram below shows us the count of monthly membership prices for different parking types. It has been seen that monthly price of 400 TL and 100 TL are the least common prices. Count of open parks priced 200 TL and count of parks with 0 price are almost identical to each other. According to the histogram We can say that the count of parks it mostly scattered around 200 TL. Free parking lots which doesn’t allow monthly parking are the second most common park type. Also the measured data is a bi-modal distribution with two peaks.
