    "abstract": "We apply the random-matrix theory to the car-parking problem. For this\npurpose, we adopt a Coulomb gas model that associates the coordinates of the\ngas particles with the eigenvalues of a random matrix. The nature of\ninteraction between the particles is consistent with the tendency of the\ndrivers to park their cars near to each other and in the same time keep a\ndistance sufficient for manoeuvring. We show that the recently measured\ngap-size distribution of parked cars in a number of roads in central London is\nwell represented by the spacing distribution of a Gaussian unitary ensemble.",
