Parking and Accident Studies Report

Parking studies are used to determine demand and supply of parking facilities in an area. They involve collecting data on parking accumulation, turnover, and duration. There are different types of on-street parking like parallel and angle parking along roadsides. Off-street parking includes surface lots and garages that may be privately or publicly owned. Parking studies involve inventorying existing facilities and collecting information on generators and demand through accumulation, turnover and duration data. Relevant characteristics documented include types and numbers of spaces as well as restrictions.

Parking and

Accident Studies
Prepared By: Jhazylou C. Monteza
Parking Studies
used to determine the
demand for and the supply
of parking facilities in an
area, the projection of
the demand, and the
views of various interest
groups on how best to
solve the problem.
Definitions of Parking Terms

• Space-hour - a unit of parking that defines the use of a


single parking space for a period of 1 hour.

• Parking volume – the total number of vehicles that park in


a study area during a specific length of time, usually a day.

• Parking accumulation – the number of parked vehicles in a


study area at any specified time. These data can be plotted
as a curve of parking accumulation against time, which
shows the variation of the parking accumulation during the
day.
Definitions of Parking Terms

• Parking load – the area under the accumulation curve


between two specific times. It is usually given as the
number of space-hours used during the specified period
of time.

• Parking duration – the length of time a vehicle is parked


at a parking bay. When the parking duration is given as
an average, it gives an indication of how frequently a
parking space becomes available.
Definitions of Parking Terms

• Parking turnover – the rate of use of a parking space. It


is obtained by dividing the parking volume for a
specified period by the number of parking spaces.

• Parking index - also called occupancy or efficiency. It is


defined as the ratio of number of bays occupied in a
time duration to the total space available. It gives an
aggregate measure of how effectively the parking
space is utilized.
Types of Parking
Facilities

On-Street Parking Facilities

Off-Street Parking Facilities


On-Street Parking Facilities

also known as curb facilities.


Parking bays are provided
alongside the curb on one or both
sides of the street.

These bays can be


unrestricted or restricted parking
facilities depending if the
duration of parking is unlimited
and parking is free, or if parking is
limited to specific times of the
day for a maximum duration.

This will be usually controlled


by government agencies itself.
Types of On-Street Parking

Parallel parking 30◦ parking

Right angle parking

45◦ parking 60◦ parking


Off-Street Parking Facilities

These facilities may be


privately or publicly owned;
they include surface lots and
garages. Self-parking garages
require that drivers park their
own automobiles; attendant-
parking garages maintain
personnel to park the
automobiles.
Methodology of Parking Studies

(1)Inventory of existing parking facilities,


(2) Collection of data on parking accumulation, parking
turnover and parking duration,
(3) Identification of parking generators, and
(4)Collection of information on parking demand.
Information on related factors, such as financial,
legal, and administrative matters, also may be
collected.
Inventory of Existing Parking Facilities

The inventory includes both on- and offstreet facilities. The


relevant characteristics usually listed include the following:

• Type and number of parking spaces at each parking facility


• Times of operation and limit on duration of parking, if any
• Type of ownership (private or public)
• Parking fees, if any, and method of collection • Restrictions
on use (open or closed to the public)
• Other restrictions, if any (such as loading and unloading
zones, bus stops, or taxi ranks)
• Probable degree of permanency (can the facility be
regarded as permanent or is it just a temporary facility?)
