Description
Summary:This paper describes the parking demand models for private cars and goods vehicles developed as part of a parking demand study that was completed in Hong Kong in 1995. In the model, it is assumed that there is a linear and additive demand function relating land-use variables in a zone (such as jobs, schools, or households) with parking demand. Further, the parking activity associated with each land-use variable is assumed to have a unique parking accumulation profile. Surveys were conducted to determine these profiles. A unitgraph, which is defined as the parking accumulation profile per parking activity, was constructed for each land-use variable. Given the land-use variables, the parking demand function, and the unitgraphs, the total parking accumulation profile in each zone is determined.
