Parking spaces are resources that can be pooled together and shared, particularly when there exist complementary daytime and nighttime users. We provide solutions to two design questions. First, given a quality of service requirement, how many spaces should be set aside as contingency during the day for nighttime users? Next, how can we replace the first-come-first-served access method by one that aims for optimal efficiency while keeping user preferences private?
