“…The parking accumulation curve at three lots at Terminal Putra station shows a steep rise in the number of cars parked between 7.00 am to 9.00 am due to continuous arrival of users taking LRT for work purposes (Figure 4). This trend was found similar to the 142 parking spaces at Shah Alam park and ride facility where a high number of in and out-vehicle flow from 5.30 am to 6.30 am on a weekday was observed (Hamid [2] station from 9.00 am to 4.30 pm was high and remains fairly constant. The accumulation curve then started to gradually decrease from 4.30 pm onwards as users were found leaving the parking spaces indicating travel to home from their workplaces.…”

“…Further, a study methodology by Hamid [2], stated that the trend in parking utilization was undertaken to analyze the demand and supply of the rail based park and ride facility of two commuter stations located at the fringe of the KL conurbation namely Shah Alam and Seremban station. This study found that both stations showed a relatively good level of utilization, exceeding the 80% mark but less than 95%.…”

“…The increase in traffic congestion in the urban areas is also attributed by the low vehicle occupancy with an average of 1.10 people per vehicle. With the improvements in transport infrastructure connecting the suburbs and the city together with cheaper housing at the outskirts of the city, there exists a mismatch between residential and employment concentration at the city areas (Hamid [2]). Furthermore, the overutilization of the roads and highways as well as the limited capacity of these infrastructures in accommodating the increase in the traffic volume, the issue of accessibility to the city centre has become one of the main agenda of the urban planners (Hamid [2]).…”

A parking utilization survey was administered to examine the parking usage at three selected park and ride facilities along the Kelana Jaya LRT Line and Putrajaya Public transportation terminal (Putrajaya Sentral). This study also analyses the existing parking supply and its physical conditions through a parking space inventory survey at the three selected facilities. Parking characteristics such as parking occupancy, parking accumulation, parking turnover and parking duration at each facility were also examined. Findings showed that overall parking utilization pattern was generally high with the occupancy rate of more than 85% (Terminal Putra station) and more than 92% (Kelana Jaya station). However, the Putrajaya Sentral park and ride facility recorded low occupancy rate at multi-storey parking (below 50%) but high occupancy rate at surface parking (85%). Additionally, all park and ride stations were used by long-term parkers (more than 7 hours). The results from this study were found to be comparable with park and ride studies at Shah Alam and Seremban KTM stations and Washington. A high parking demand at the park and ride facility will, eventually, help to achieve the benefits of sustainable transportation. Finally, recommendations to improve parking supply to meet increase in parking demand and conclusions are also drawn.

“…Enhancing public transport, along with implementing traffic control measures, appear to be most effective in motivating P&R choices (Hounsell et al 2011;Friman et al 2013). Parking availability and easy accessibility are also identified as important factors on influencing the behaviour of park and ride users (Hamid 2009). P&R has been correlated to a reduction in the generalised costs of travel through time and monetary savings (Meek et al 2011).…”

Economical welfare maximisation analysis: assessing the use of existing Park-and-Ride services

2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper assesses travellers' responses to the use of existing Park-and-Ride (P&R) services based on an economical welfare maximisation approach. Specifically, the paper presents a modelling framework to estimate consumer surplus and producer surplus (business profits) on the basis of modal choice probabilities. The paper draws on evidence from Stated Preference surveys conducted around two P&R sites in Sapporo, Japan, where P&R services occupy a modest market space. Overall, the results suggest that business profit increases when economical welfare is maximised, as a consequence of increased demand. It is also shown that P&R choice is not only influenced by parking fees, but also by the fares and other attributes of alternative transportation modes. Accordingly, the interactions of P&R with alternative transportation modes should be taken into consideration in any strategic transportation policies oriented towards motivating sustainable transport mode choices.

“…The literature clearly shows that there is an association between time-of-day and PNR use. (Hamid, 2009) and examined the utilisation profile of PNR lots by conducting surveys. However, the factors that contribute to different usage profiles within a PNR lot and among PNR lots, to the best of my knowledge, has not been explored.…”

Strategic approach in analysing the demand for park-and-ride facilities

This study aimed to understand demand of park-and-ride (PNR) during different times of day. Surprisingly, there is no significant research in the area of dynamic demand of PNR. To fill this gap, this study of PNR demand was done in three stages. First, to understand why PNR users choose one PNR lot versus another, PNR lot choice models were developed. PNR lot choice behaviour was studied using two decision constructs, random utility maximization (RUM) and random regret minimization (RRM). Second, in order to understand the nature of utilization of PNR lots, a discrete time hazard model was developed based on the car arrival data in the morning period, at PNR lots. Finally, mode choice models (including PNR as one of the modes) were prepared to understand the choice of PNR as a mode. From the developed lot choice models, it is understood that the PNR users' choice of PNR lot could also be explained by the RRM concept. In absence of any applications of RRM in PNR modelling, these new models serve as an important contribution. Further, the lot choice models suggested that the utilization of PNR lots is endogenous in nature. The identification of utilization as an endogenous variable is performed for the first time. The correction of endogeneity is completed using a two-stage control function method. Since the correction of endogeneity in the case of discrete choice transport models is a relatively new area, this work serves as additional evidence of the value of correcting for endogeneity using the control function method. This research modelled the utilisation of parking spaces using a discrete-time logistic regression model and calculated the probability that each parking space is occupied at the end of one of 60 time-intervals between 4:00am and 9:00am on a weekday. The findings from the model suggest that the probability of a parking space to be occupied increases with a larger capacity of the PNR lot, a larger number of public transport services, and a lower walking time to the platforms. Moreover, the results suggest that a parking space is more likely to be occupied in PNR lots farther from the CBD until 8.00am, but it is more probable to be occupied in PNR lots closer to the CBD from 8.00am onwards. Further, to understand the choice of PNR as a mode, mode choice models were prepared. With the aim of capturing a household's long-term decisions (like owing car, motorbike, bicycle etc.) on everyday short-term decision like mode choice, a portfolio-based multinomial logit framework was used to model the mode choice behaviour; where
