Modelling parking based trips

Abstract

Nowadays, Russia is going through an era of rapid growth in private car ownership. This has resulted in new trends in Russian transportation planning practice. Previously in the USSR, private car ownership accounted for ten percent of the total passenger flow divided by the car occupancy. However, the rapid growth of private car ownership is only one aspect among many other significant changes in Russian socio-economic life. Consequently, Russian transportation planning has been challenged immensely. It is becoming necessary to forecast private car usage taking into account reasons for different journeys. Unfortunately, there are no current statistics in Russia that describe what we have defined as trip generation rates of different object types. Statistics collected during the Soviet era is included in urban planning manuals, but now this data is completely inconsistent with the current situation. The Transportation Laboratory of Irkutsk State Technical University launched regular investigations into the main indices of trip generation. The estimation of parking demand generation and parking accumulation is very laborious. In order to make parking surveys more effective the Laboratory proposed to collect video records from the security cameras of the parking facilities. The objective of the survey is to calculate the numbers of arriving and departing vehicles for each defined time period. The mathematical formula used to calculate parking duration is equal to the OD matrix estimation from traffic counts. The application of this method allows for the collation of all basic data, which is essential to calculate and forecast all factors of parking statistics. That makes possible to develop aggregated and disaggregated transport models including trip generation rates caused by different land use patterns, to plan shared parking and establish tariff policy applied to different parking lots.

Analysis of modern approaches to the organization of parking areas in major cities

“…The total area of buildings reconstructed in Moscow for offices and various is about 14-16 million square meters. m, which is 48% of the total market for office real estate in Moscow [8][9].…”

“…In the province of Alberta in Canada, discusses a program plan for the restoration in the historic center of a number of ancient buildings collapsing. According to the representative of the organization for the preservation of the architectural heritage of Neil Richardson, these buildings, which are perceived as a slum in the heart of the city, can revive the project to build a 14-story automatic parking lot designed for 388 storage places [15]. In early 2015, the data in the Guinness Book of Records was updated on the world's largest fully automated parking system.…”

Development of «Park-and-Ride» system as a tool for sustainable access control managing

“…It is characterized by everyday dense transport flows to the center of the city from a wide residential area that includes as the midst and peripheral residential areas of the town itself so the suburban and peripheral zones of conglomeration, generating a serious mobility challenge. Estimations of transport planning experts show [1,2] that the overall traffic flow to Moscow center constitutes about 450 thousands vehicles per working day while carrying access capacity of road network is not more than 50 thousands per morning pear hour vehicles per day.…”
