OBJECTIVE
The main objective of this lab is to identify the various elements that relate
to a parking study by examining an existing parking area.
STUDY COMPONENTS
1 Parking accumulation:
It is defined as the number of vehicles parked at a given instant of time.
Normally this is expressed by accumulation curve. Accumulation curve is the
graph obtained by plotting the number of bays occupied with respect to
time.
2 Parking volume
It is the total number of vehicles using the parking for a particular hour or it
can also be defined as the number of vehicles using the parking for a
particular study interval. This does not account for repetition of vehicles
3 Parking load (veh-hr)
It gives the area under the accumulation curve. It can also be obtained by
multiplying number of vehicles occupying the parking area at each time
interval with interval time. It is expressed in vehicle hours.
Parkingload
Parking volume
5 Parking Turnover
It is the ratio of number of vehicles parked in a duration to the number of
bays available for parking. This can be expressed as number of vehicles per
time duration.
Parking turnover =
Parking volume
Number of parking bays available
6 Parking Index
Parking index is also called occupancy or efficiency. It is defined as the ratio
of parking number of bays occupied in time duration to total spaces
available. It gives an aggregate measure of how effective the parking space
is utilized.
Parking index =
Parkingload
